Newsbrief: Smartphone game maker Glu Mobile launched its first real money gambling game in the United Kingdom on Tuesday, becoming one of the first traditional game companies to enter that space.

The game was launched through a partnership with UK mobile betting game company Probability Plc.

Social game maker Zynga has similar plans to introduce real money gambling in the UK soon, through its own partnership with UK betting company bwin.party.

Zynga has also taken the first steps toward being granted a license to distribute real money gambling games in the state of Nevada, though the process is expected to take well over another year.

More on Reuters.
