Aurion Kajuta Gems Figther: a real checkpoint in the African mobile gaming industry.

Africa is a hotbed for smartphone and mobile payment solutions adoption.
According to a joint HUAWEI X KIRO’O article, the African video gaming sector might produce 720 billion FCFA annually by 2030, with 100 million gamers paying 150 FCFA each week on average.

Kiro’o Games is strategically positioned as a forerunner of this promised land by providing an option that even huge mobile gaming licensees lack: a game that provides African gamers with proper payment methods.
