Newly (Re)released Game Allows Players to Simulate Bitcoin Mining and Earn BTC

The innovative crypto space keeps producing novel ways to merge with different industries and engage more people with cryptoassets, this time crossing the boundaries between gaming, crypto, mining, and earning. 

Gaming fintech ZEBEDEE and UK mobile gaming studio Fumb Games have joined forces to release Bitcoin Miner, a game that provides players with real bitcoin (BTC) for running a simulated crypto mining operation. 

Paul West, Founder of Fumb Games, said that the latest development marks a second attempt by the developer to introduce players to the concept, but this time, the companies allow users to earn real cryptocurrency for their efforts.

According to ZEBEDEE's blog post:

"The game represents a fusion of tapping to collect coins with methodical strategy as you find the most optimal way to build your mining farm. But the twist is that you get paid real Bitcoin while simulating an activity that would generate new Bitcoin in the real world."

West said that Bitcoin Miner was originally released some four years ago, “when crypto started taking off,” but that there was “no real appetite for the game” since it was impossible to enable players to earn actual BTC. Now, the game includes this latest functionality. 

He added that, “with ZEBEDEE, we were able to put real Bitcoin into the game, which makes the premise of Bitcoin Miner much more fun, impactful and noteworthy for players.”

The blog post instructed that,

"When you see a green satoshi symbol over a coin, you'll earn Bitcoin for tapping it."

The game also pays out "a little bit of " BTC when a user levels up their mining farm.

The fintech's website explains how to withdraw funds from the ZEBEDEE Wallet.

One of the objectives behind the effort is to use the game to promote
