PearFiction has demonstrated its ability to make that transition. Its real-money video slots combine detailed visual design, animation, storytelling and humour in a catalogue of online titles.
A portrait-first design approach, confident art direction and mathematical expertise helped PearFiction Studios draw industry attention. The studio later joined the Microgaming Network of GameDev Studios through a partnership, adding another software provider for online casino players to consider.

PearFiction’s social casino games catalogue attracted more than 5 million players in the USA. Its PowerUp Slots title was among the most popular, reaching number 5 in the US iTunes casino category.
