AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
SciPlay (NASDAQ: SCPL) ("SciPlay" or the "Company"), a leading
social gaming company, announced its $82,000 donation to Direct Relief, a humanitarian
aid organization active in all 50 states and more than 80
countries, after raising the funds through dynamic, in-app
events.
Due to the lack of personal protective equipment available to
medical teams during the COVID-19 pandemic, SciPlay launched
special, in-app events within the majority of its core games. The
intention was to leverage its user base of more than 7.5 million
monthly gamers to drive critical donations. The promotions were
tailored to gameplay, rewarding players' achievements with
donations to Direct Relief. The more game objectives players
completed, the more money SciPlay donated.
"Our games serve as a creative reprieve to millions of users
around the world," said Josh Wilson,
SciPlay's CEO. "I can't think of a better way for our gaming family
to give back to the world's essential workers. I'm so proud of both
our incredible users and the SciPlay team for working together to
raise and donate critical funds to Direct Relief."
Direct Relief has delivered 9,000 shipments to more than 1,700
health care facilities throughout the world. Since January, the
organization has delivered more than 12 million N95 and surgical
masks, more than 4 million gloves, more than 1 million face
shields, tens of thousands of protective suits, and other items to
help safeguard health care workers.
