The first game that launches under this team-up is Coin Mahjong. Mahjong is a classic tile-based tabletop game loved worldwide for over a century. Bear Hug\u2019s version of the game, however, distinguishes itself from others by incorporating a rewarded-gaming model. This offers small amounts of money (as Bitcoin rewards) to players as a prize for completing levels, without requiring any entry fees or upfront costs.<\/p>\n<p>Coin Mahjong\u2019s payment model is possible thanks to its integration with ZEBEDEE\u2019s payments platform, which uses the Bitcoin Lightning Network. This technology makes use of lightning-fast and cost-effective nano-transactions between the game and its players.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, by using this technology, Coin Mahjong offers small amounts of Bitcoin to players to incentivize downloads and prolong gaming sessions. This model proves that it outperforms traditional retention mechanics by providing a more engaging and rewarding gaming experience.<\/p>\n<p><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-98401 size-full\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-scaled.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-300x169.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-768x432.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-100x56.jpg.webp 100w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-150x84.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-450x253.jpg.webp 450w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20675'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20675'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-scaled.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-450x253.jpg 450w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-scaled.jpg\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-98401 size-full\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-scaled.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-300x169.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-768x432.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-100x56.jpg.webp 100w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-150x84.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-450x253.jpg.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-scaled.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ZEBEDEE-x-Bear-Hug_Coin-Mahjong-1-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>We\u2019re thrilled to be working with Bear Hug Entertainment, whose highly-skilled team immediately saw the value and potential of our platform,<\/em>\u201d says Ben Cousens, Chief Strategy Officer at ZEBEDEE. \u201c<em>This is a great example of the type of innovation that our platform enables, and we believe that the gaming industry is just scratching the surface of what\u2019s possible with our payment technology.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"More_About_Zebedee_Bear_Hug_Entertainment\">More About Zebedee &amp; Bear Hug Entertainment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zebedee.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZEBEDEE<\/a> is a FinTech and payment processor for the gaming industry, supported by global VCs and gaming studios like Square Enix.
