The announcement of Pipe Mania sees us revisit one of Empire’s biggest brands,” added Silverstar holdings CEO Clive Kabatznik. It’s difficult to put this one down and that makes it perfect for a broad demographic and a multitude of formats. We really keen to extend the reach of one of our most successful IPs.”
