BANGALORE, INDIA--(Marketwired - May 19, 2016) -  GSN Games, a worldwide leader in social casino games and cash tournaments, today announced the opening of a new Bangalore studio to accommodate talent and business growth. The top-notch office space located in a premier technology park has the capacity to support more than 500 employees across teams such as engineering, quality assurance, product management, game development, art, analytics and marketing.

The new facility will position GSN Games India to lead game development and product management for some of the most successful social casino apps, including Bingo Bash and GSN Casino. Additionally, it will play a major role in building a leading-edge technology environment powering the global company directly from Bangalore. The new studio is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and tools such as modern workspaces, game lounges and stocked kitchens, as well as health and wellness facilities including an indoor badminton court.

"The new GSN Games India office represents our commitment to growing our studio by recruiting top talent to lead game development and product management for GSN Games," said Arun Dutta, Country Manager of GSN Games India. "We are one of the only studios from leading western game developers that drive game development from start to finish in India, as the GSN global team looks to India for game creation rather than simple execution."
