MOUNTAIN VIEW and LOS ANGELES, CA - iGames,
the world’s leading game center organization, and WiredLabs,
the definitive gaming entertainment company, today announced

this deal will also be another strong value-add and new business
driver.”
“We are really excited to be partnering with iGames
whose wide network of game centers represents hundreds of
thousands of gamers,” added Ryan Schumacher, CEO of
