Papaya signs Stephen A. Smith to host Solitaire World Championship
Papaya signed sports broadcaster Stephen A. Smith to host its Solitaire World Championship, as the skill-games company faces scrutiny over its operations. The company’s games include cash-prize contests, while rules governing skill-based gaming differ among jurisdictions; DraftKings’ investment arm Drive by DraftKings counts Papaya among its portfolio companies.
The deal increases visibility for a cash-prize gaming company operating in a sector with differing state-level rules.
