DraftKings files patent for new game development arm
| By Zak Thomas-Akoo
Fantasy sports and betting business DraftKings has filed a patent application for a new game development corporation named Black Throne Studios.
The corporation is registered in Delaware and will offer “electronic game development services; electronic casino game development services; casino game development services”.
It is unclear whether the entity will be spun off from the core DraftKings business, or operate as a subsidiary of the company.
While DraftKings operate a large B2C online gaming business through DraftKings Casino, they have not previously not been a B2B igaming game development provider. The business has been contacted for comment on the matter.
