Social gaming company Zynga has raised $15.1 million in a third round of funding.

The fresh cash injection, from investors including KPC&B, Foundry Group and Hoffman, means that the FarmVille and Mafia Wars maker has now raised over $54 million, reports PaidContent.

Zynga most recently hit the news when new game FishVille was removed from Facebook only two days after its release because it featured cost-per-action advertising which contravened the site’s terms and conditions.

Earlier this week, rival social gaming firm Playdom followed its recent $43 million funding round by acquiring Facebook game developer Green Patch and iPhone developer Trippert Labs.

Another major player in the social gaming space, Playfish, was acquired by EA for around $300 million last week.
