VRstudios, a leading creator of turn-key multiplayer Virtual Reality (VR) attractions for Location-Based Entertainment (LBE) businesses, is debuting a monthly tournament for cash prizes for play of “Hoops Madness” VR basketball on the company’s unattended VR attraction, the FURY, beginning in July 2022.
VRstudios is sponsoring the monthly prize pool, with $1,000 up for grabs among the top “Hoops Madness” Shootout player scores in July. The tournament is enabled by VRStudios’ Scorecard, an easy-to-use cloud-based player app accessible on a mobile browser, that includes profile management, a record of play history, and display of tournament scoreboards. All players with a Scorecard account are automatically eligible to compete for the prize pool.
Kevin Vitale, CEO of VRstudios, said: “The VRstudios FURY Hoops Madness Tournament gives FEC operators an easy program to attract guests of all types – basketball fans, arcade gamers, and VR enthusiasts alike – to get in the game with a unique immersive VR basketball experience.”
“Operators can also build on it with additional local events and promotions to drive new revenue from players and spectators.”
