Marc Saltzman, host of Tech it Out radio show and technology podcast interviews ePlay CEO about augmented reality basketball game.
ePlay Digital Inc. (CSE:EPY) today announced coverage for the Big Shot™ Basketball Beta Augmented Reality App on 61 radio stations in the U.S. and Canada following an interview with the ePlay CEO from Shanghai, China. The outreach is a component of the Big Shot North American Go-To-Market Plan. The plan is focused on key stakeholders initially and expands to include the consumer market as key features and in-game characters are added to Big Shot Basketball.

“Tech it Out”, and “Tech Talk” radio programs are currently airing in Toronto on NewsTalk 1010, in Los Angeles on KVTA 1590, in Boston on FM 99.9, and WFYL 1180 in Philadelphia, and in over 40 states and provinces in North America. The interview is also available as a podcast on the “Tech it Out” podcast by Radio America in Apple iTunes. The host of “Tech it Out” is Marc Saltzman, the author of “Apple Watch for Dummies” frequent technology commentator, and contributor to USA Today and the Toronto Star.
“ePlay Digital is both the publisher and developer of Big Shot Basketball,” says Marc Saltzman, Host of Tech it Out. “What happens in Big Shot basketball is tied to what the real players and teams do in the NBA - there is a connection between the real world game and the app.”
“On-court performance really dictates the number of points Big Shot players earn,” says Trevor Doerksen, CEO of ePlay Digital. “There are tips and tricks from celebrities and sports broadcasters in the game to help players discover where to find the best NBA players. Then the better NBA players do on the court, the more points can be earned in Big Shot.”
The beta version of Big Shot rates 4.4 out of 5 in Apple’s App Store and now three new daily challenges are available for NBA fans. In addition, the Big Shot Swish™ mini-game has been approved and released in the beta app. Users can build their “Big Shot Roster” #bigshotroster, unlock the new challenges, and select NBA players to compete in daily fantasy challenges. Users can play Swish while they watch their selections and rosters earn them points in NBA matches. Users earn points to unlock new challenges and tips to where the best NBA players can be found in Augmented Reality.
Big Shot™ is ePlay’s augmented reality esports mobile game described as Pokémon Go meets sports, esports, and entertainment. Nintendo’s augmented reality game, Pokémon Go, earned USD $84.8 million in September 2018, according to a recently released report from Sensor Tower.
