Social game developer A Bit Lucky has raised $5 million in new funding from South Korean gaming company Nexon. This brings A Bit Lucky’s funding to nearly $8 million. Previous investors include SV Angel, Founder Collective, Felicis Ventures, Lerer Ventures, Delicious founder Joshua Schachter, and others.
