About Gazeus Games

Gazeus Games is a Brazilian developer and publisher of casual and social games, with a particular focus on classic card, board, and tabletop play. Its games reach players through native iOS and Android applications, browser platforms, and social gaming services. Social multiplayer mechanics and ongoing live operations are central to its portfolio, which serves audiences in Brazil, Latin America, North America, and Europe.

The company began commercial operations in 2006, launching the Jogatina browser platform and its first web hit, Buraco Jogatina. Jogatina remains a core brand operated directly by Gazeus, encompassing its gaming portal and mobile app imprint. The portfolio expanded from Brazilian card and board game traditions into a broader collection of internationally familiar games, including canasta, solitaire, spades, euchre, gin rummy, dominoes, and mahjong solitaire.

From browser games to mobile publishing

Gazeus moved into mobile free-to-play games in 2012, developing native applications for iOS and Android. Its 2014 release of Mahjong Solitaire marked its first global release and helped expand its audience in North America and Europe. The company subsequently developed a catalog spanning both established tabletop formats and social multiplayer products.

Its work covers full-cycle game development, publishing, live-operations management, and in-app advertising optimization. Community management, customer experience, and fraud prevention support the ongoing operation of its games. This combination of development and publishing capabilities supports products across mobile and browser platforms.

Headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, Gazeus expanded internationally through a Montreal branch established in late 2018 and publicly launched in November 2019. The expansion supported specialized mobile engineering, monetization, and social multiplayer development. In 2021, the company collaborated with Netflix on Dominoes Café, one of the launch titles for Netflix Gaming. The supplied research reports a catalog of more than 50 titles and over 10 million monthly active users worldwide.
