(CSE:EPY) (the “Company”) today announced it has released public beta version 1.0 of Big Shot Basketball to the Apple App Store for basketball fans of all ages.

ePlay’s closed beta for Big Shot took place in Las Vegas at the West Coast National Championships and NBA Summer League last month.
ePlay wants Big Shots to check out the open beta version of the Big Shot game. The company has an aggressive schedule of updates planned as the NBA season approaches.
“The NBA season can’t start soon enough,” says Trevor Doerksen, CEO of ePlay Digital. “In the meantime, we need to get fans building their Big Shot rosters and NBA players uploading selfies and charity choices for their in-game avatars introducing Big Shot Basketball to the Big Shots playing the game.”
Big Shots can look forward to advanced avatar customization, expanded maps, and the exclusive ability for NBA players to customize their avatar including adding a selfie and raising money for charity with the Big Shot Meet Up in Augmented Reality feature. Other updates such as expert tips from sports broadcasters, appearances by 7-time NBA champion Rob Horry, and the introduction of games, fantasy challenges, rewards, and more will be released in coming weeks.
