Miniclip.com, a web site dedicated to online games, is accelerating its mobile gaming business with the establishment of a new dedicated smartphone division. The division will be led by former Skype manager António Sérgio Varanda.

It will develop, publish and distribute its most popular online casual games for mobile operating systems such as the iOS and Android. Consumers can play online versions at http://www.miniclip.com, then purchase the mobile versions on the Apple App Store or Android Market.

Miniclip has tested its cross platform marketing abilities with a handful of Miniclip game franchises available for mobile, including Fragger, Monster Trucks, Disc Pool and Monkey Kick. The company has secured more than 1.9 million paid sales of its mobile games to date.
