Dragonplay is launching a Popeye-themed casino slots game called Popeye Slots in a partnership with brand owner King Features Syndicate. The game will be available on Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and Facebook.

Brands are coming to the forefront of mobile games because they help game makers distinguish their titles from a million other offerings. The social-casino-game category is hot, but more than 100 competitors are vying for the top games. With the Popeye license from King Features Syndicate, Dragonplay believes it will have an edge.
