“At WONDR NATION, we pride ourselves on having a fresh approach to what’s next, and the relaunch and rebrand of FoxPlay Social Casino is a perfect example of how we can bring this approach to our partners through managed services,” said Anika Howard, Chief Executive Officer and President of WONDR NATION. “Alongside our selected partner, we designed FoxPlay Social Casino to provide the excitement, entertainment and engagement that social casino players are looking for. We’re honored to manage this initiative on behalf of Foxwoods Resort Casino and look forward to growing this revenue stream for them.”

From traditional table games to familiar slots games, FoxPlay Social Casino is an entertainment-only gaming platform that features over 100 popular casino games with no monetary fees or gains. Delivering on its commitment to create new and exciting digital player experiences, WONDR NATION led partners to develop a solution that provides users with an exciting casino experience they can access in the palm of their hand.

We look forward to continuing our fruitful relationship and growing Foxwoods’ online presence.”

Just launched earlier this year, WONDR NATION has been making strides within the gaming and entertainment space and is setting the bar high for technology innovation, corporate social responsibility, responsible gaming and gambling practices and top-of-the-line managed services. From social casino platforms, like FoxPlay Social Casino, to real money gaming services, WONDR NATION’s profit and engagement-maximizing managed services include iGaming implementation, social casino management, marketing & digital strategy, marketing operations, website & mobile app development & management and more.

“With a project as important to the overall Foxwoods Resorts Casino brand as FoxPlay Social Casino’s relaunch, we wouldn’t have trusted it to anyone other than the online gaming experts at WONDR NATION,” Jason Guyot, President and CEO of Foxwoods Resort Casino, said. “I look forward to seeing this business grow under their leadership and I am confident that FoxPlay will expand Foxwoods Resort Casino’s digital footprint and will help us entertain players at yet another touchpoint. We’re thankful to have WONDR NATION by our side.”
