The sales of DoubleU Casino, the company’s signature game, was up 7.4 percent while DoubleDown Interactive’s DoubleDown Casino rose 10 percent from a year ago. DoubleU acquired DDI in June 2017 for $825 million -- the largest overseas purchase by a Korean game company.
Established in April 2012, the firm has developed and distributed software for online and mobile-based games. It, particularly, has focused on the development of social casino games, such as DoubleU Casino, which are available in 120 countries across the world.
