FlowPlay Named to Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™, Recognized for Corporate Growth Among Top Tech Companies in North America


SEATTLE, Nov. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- FlowPlay, a leader in virtual world games and technology, today announced it has been named to Deloitte's 2015 Technology Fast 500TM, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America. Boasting more than 200 percent revenue growth over a three-year period, FlowPlay is the only Washington state-based video game company named to the list – ranking 12th out of just 22 companies from the state and 315th nationally. With more than 330 video game companies located in Washington (according to the Washington Interactive Network), the honor demonstrates FlowPlay's leadership in the local games community and industry more broadly, where recent successes in the social casino market have helped fuel the company's rapid growth.

Leveraging the company's expertise in building multiplayer, free-to-play casino experiences, FlowPlay is poised to continue its current growth trajectory through several social sports offerings planned to launch in the coming year.

"Recognition on this list alongside some of the most renowned businesses in tech today is testament to our corporate and product strategy. Building upon our established success in the competitive social casino market, we have a clear path ahead to drive further growth and tap into burgeoning markets, including social sports wagering."
