World Mahjong tour is a popular Facebook game and it was recently purchased by Mahjong Club. The game is played by thousands of players each day and the application allows players to play the game while they are on the social networking site.

Adriaan Brink the CEO of Mahjong Club commented: “We are very excited by this development, as it is an important part of our strategy to be the number one destination for multiplayer Mahjong on the internet. We intend to significantly enhance the Facebook game, while also offering the great game play and tournaments on the download version available on the website.”

Brink has been involved with the game of Mahjong for many years and his experience could help the game move into the forefront of the gaming market. Brink used to work for Mahjong Mania as the CEO and during his time there Brink helped launched Mahjong on many high profile internet sites including Ladbrokes.

Brink also stated: “Zynga have shown the world that there is a market for free-play games on these social networks. Our goal is to bring these concepts to the Mahjong Players on Facebook and other social networks.”
