Game Taco agrees to buy skill-based games publisher WorldWinner from Sony

Skill-based mobile game platform Game Taco has agreed to acquire WorldWinner from Sony. The price of the deal wasn’t disclosed, but GamesBeat has learned that it’s in the high eight figures.

WorldWinner is a skill-based publisher that makes games where people can wager money and win cash. In the U.S., such games are legal in around 41 states, and Game Taco will pick up games such as Solitaire Rush, Bejeweled, Wheel of Fortune, Scrabble Cubes, Angry Birds: Champions, and Two Dots. The deal comes at a time with a lot of attention on skill-based games, as rival Skillz went public through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in December at a $3.5 billion valuation.
