Blacknut is promoting its cloud gaming service to hotels and other hospitality businesses, offering guests access to more than 1,000 games through compatible Smart TVs and supported devices. In a recent LinkedIn post, the company outlined how hotels could add gaming to their in-room entertainment without installing consoles.
Guests can play with a Bluetooth controller or Blacknut’s free Companion App, which turns a smartphone into a controller. The offering also extends to resorts, cruise lines, holiday parks and airport lounges.
Hotel Guests Can Play Without a Console
Blacknut’s catalogue includes family, casual, indie and AAA games, all streamed without downloads. Hotels can offer the service on compatible TVs or connected devices, with remote deployment and management available to operators.
Blacknut launched its Companion App last year and later added multiplayer support. Up to four people can connect to a Smart TV using smartphones, traditional controllers or both. For hospitality businesses, Blacknut also advertises enterprise support, multilingual experiences and ongoing catalogue updates.
Blacknut’s Hotel Plans Build on Its TV Partnerships
Hotels can offer gaming as part of a premium stay, include it in family packages or charge for it separately. Blacknut also lists per-room and per-property arrangements, revenue sharing, sponsored experiences and custom enterprise licensing.
Blacknut is already available through VIZIO OS and Whale TV, as well as TiVo devices and the Manhattan Aero 4K streamer. In Mexico, Totalplay has also added the service to its telecom offering. Blacknut also advertises deployment in more than 65 regions, which could appeal to hotel groups looking to offer the same gaming service across properties in different countries.
For business partners, Blacknut offers branded and white-label services, along with SDK and API integrations. CEO Olivier Avaro has said these partnerships help the company reach more people while reducing customer acquisition costs. Hotels give Blacknut another opportunity to grow. Someone who has never considered subscribing to the service at home could come across it during a hotel stay, whether gaming is included with the room or offered as an extra. Blacknut could reach a different audience without having to convince every guest to sign up for an individual subscription.
Blacknut is inviting hotels and other hospitality operators to contact the company about bringing the service to their properties.
