About DoubleDown Interactive
DoubleDown Interactive is a developer, publisher and operator of digital games, with a business spanning free-to-play social casino entertainment and European real-money iGaming. Based in Seoul, the company combines Korean management and development capabilities with its established US operating studio in Seattle. Its games reach players on mobile devices and the web, with the United States serving as its primary revenue market.
The core DoubleDown portfolio centers on DoubleDown Casino, which launched on Facebook in 2010. The platform combines more than 200 slot titles with video poker, blackjack and roulette. Other active releases include DoubleDown Fort Knox, a 3D mobile slots experience supporting portrait and landscape play, and DoubleDown Classic Slots, which focuses on traditional three-reel slot machines. The company's historical releases also include the idle role-playing game Undead World: Hero Survival, which closed in October 2023, and the subsequently retired branded slots game Ellen’s Road to Riches.
Development and publishing activities extend beyond initial releases to ongoing game operations, content design, community management and player retention analytics. The company's capabilities include mobile and web development, casino game mechanics, monetization and the operation of persistent gaming platforms. Its European expansion adds real-money casino operations through licensed subsidiaries, alongside social casino products developed for European audiences.
The current business brings together two corporate histories. Its Korean predecessor, The8Games, was founded in 2008, while the original Seattle operating company began in 2010. The Korean company acquired the Seattle business from International Game Technology in 2017 and adopted the DoubleDown Interactive corporate name in December 2019. It subsequently expanded through acquisitions in Korean game development, European iGaming and European social casino publishing.
DoubleDown completed its NASDAQ initial public offering in September 2021 under the ticker DDI. Its international business combines development and publishing with ongoing operation of its own games and acquired gaming platforms.
