DoubleDown Casino, rated 4th best game on Facebook by the guys that run Facebook, built a company (not a studio) and in two years converted it into a $500 million sale. How you view your team—as developers, a studio or a company, will drive who you hire, who you partner with and your potential liquidity event someday. Join Glenn Walcott, President of DoubleDown Interactive, to hear how they were able to stand out in a now super-crowded field of virtual social casinos to become a powerhouse and how they reflect upon their key successes and challenges of entering a new game genre and succeeding.

Delivered at Casual Connect Seattle, July 2012.
