DARTSLIVE Co., Ltd., a comprehensive DARTSLIVE network service provider for commercial electronic dart machines, has formed a partnership with TKG ASIA LIMITED (Hong Kong) and will begin providing the DARTSLIVE service to i DartsClub, a TKG ASIA’s darts bar to open in Kowloon.
The DARTSLIVE service is a network service through which users can check their performance results and ranking positions via a mobile phone or a personal computer simply by inserting their own IC card into a dart machine and playing. It provides a range of convenient functions with the focus on real-time communication, such as a function to create a user group and exchange messages among members and a function to display where members are playing.
This service is available in over 2,500 stores across Japan, where network-enabled dart machines, DARTSLIVE and DARTSLIVE 2, are installed. The number of domestic dues-paying members is approximately 210,000.
While the DARTSLIVE service was available overseas only for special events in the past, it will be provided in a full-fledged manner overseas for the first time via i DartsClub. This will allow domestic players to enjoy darts in an unconventional manner, such as competing with overseas players for a higher ranking or deepening relationships with them by forming groups. The official website in Hong Kong
(http://www.dartslive.hk/) will also be available this summer.
