A leading mobile gaming company has relocated to Las Vegas from California.

Skillz, a gaming platform that allows developers to monetize their content through competition among over 1.1 million monthly users, announced Monday its move to a more than 36,000-square-foot office in the southwest Las Vegas Valley.

“Real money gaming and Vegas have this really long tradition — history — in the United States,” Andrew Paradise, founder and CEO of Skillz, told the Las Vegas Sun. “We’re a U.S.-based company. Most of our player base is actually in the U.S. So, we’re over 90% U.S. players. And we just see this huge opportunity to help Vegas move into this next era of real money games.”
