Google Pay Becoming Cloud Giant's Single Payment Service Brand
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Google Pay will become the cloud services company’s consolidated payment services for mobile, in app and in-store purchases in the coming weeks.

 

Google will bring together the company’s different online payment apps into a unified   service branded Google Pay. 

Google Pay will replace the currently separate Android Pay and Google Wallet services. It will allow users to use payment information stored in their Google account to pay for purchases in stores, in Play, via Chrome and across Google services. 

Users will start seeing Google Pay becoming available online, in stores and other products soon, said Pali Bhat, Google’s vice president of product management and payment services in a company blog. Users of Google’s Tez mobile payment service in India will soon be able to do the same things as Google Pay users elsewhere, he noted. 

Some organizations have already begun accepting payments via Google Pay including Airbnb, Fandago, Dice, Instacart and HungryHouse. Expect to see others doing the same in the coming months, Bhat said. 

Google is currently offering users some incentives for using Google Pay. That includes discounted movie tickets on Fandango and coupons for purchases made via Instacart and other participating companies. 

Google has released documentation to help developers implement Google Pay in their applications. 

The company has made available a Google Pay Application Programming Interface (API) that developers can use to request credit and debit card information stored in their customer’s Google account.  The API is part of Google Play Services, so developers only have to import the Play Services library to get access to everything they need to implement Google Pay, according to the company. 

Google also has a set of payment processor partners with whom developers can work to integrate Google Pay. Among them are processing companies such as Braintree, Adyen, Paysafe, Worldpay and Vanity. Others such as first Data, ACI Worldwide and Globe Payments will follow soon. Google Pay takes only a few minutes and fewer than 10 line of code to set up, the company has claimed. 

Google Wallet, an app that Google introduced in 2011 is designed to let people send and receive money between friends and family at no cost and even if the receiving party does not have the Wallet app. All that is required to send or receive money is a debit card, a bank account and the recipient’s email address or phone number. 

Android Pay, which Google introduced in 2015, is a mobile payment app based on the original Wallet, that people could use to pay for purchases with their phones. 

Android Pay is similar to Apple’s Apple Pay and Samsung’s Samsung Pay and like the other mobile wallet apps, has been heavily touted as revolutionizing the way people pay for purchases. However, mobile wallet adoption overall in the U.S. has continued to be very low and adoption of Google’s own wallet has been lower than the others. 

A September 2017 report on mobile wallet adoption by PYMNTS.com showed that only 1.8 percent of the users who have and can use Android Pay is actually using it, compared to a nearly equally low 3 percent of Samsung Pay users and 5.7 percent of Apple Pay users. 

The primary reason for the low adoption is that consumers are happy with their current payment methods and see little reason to start using mobile wallets. Security is another concern, but less so than in thepast according to the PYMNTS.com report.

Wizard Games brings back unique pay-as-you-see mechanics in Digipays
Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

NeoGames S.A subsidiary Wizard Games has brought back its fan-favourite visible payout mechanics where combinations of digits are awarded, in the latest release Digipays.

The 3×3 slot offers extremely basic payout mechanics, with no paying symbols on the reels apart from blank diamonds or numbers. Two consecutive digits on the same payline will award the number that it reflects. For example, if the numbers 0 and 1 land on the last two reels, players will win 1x. If 1 lands on the first column, followed by two 0s, they will win 100x.

Digipays offers a respin feature if the golden coin lands on the third reel. This awards three respins, where any number landing becomes sticky for the duration. Wins are awarded after every respin, without the count resetting.

In addition, players can boost their chance of triggering the respins via an increased stake feature. The title is the latest by Wizard Games to use this unique and popular mechanics, following high-performing Teddy’s Tavern and Bier Haus Riches.

Megan Easey, Director of Operations at Wizard Games, said: “This visible digits combination pay mechanics has proven to be a firm favourite with players, with its incredibly easy to understand payouts ensuring that every spin triggers excitement.

“With our respins mode offering significant chances of big wins on all three reels, we’re confident that Digipays will be another bold, popular addition to our slot offering.”

Distributor unleashes Magic Pots feature in Irish-themed title

3 Oaks Gaming, an established distributor of iGaming content, has unveiled its latest slot, 3 Clover Pots: Hold and Win, featuring an Irish-inspired makeover of its popular 3 Pots mechanic.

In this 5×3 title players will be greeted by the friendly Leprechaun, serving as the game’s Wild Symbol. The path to big wins is illuminated by the shimmering Gold Clover Bonus Symbols; amassing a minimum of six of these symbols sets the stage for the Hold & Win round.

The powerful Magic Pots feature is poised to transform respins into a cascade of epic rewards. As the Red, Green, and Purple Special Bonus Symbols land they fill the corresponding clover pot metres. When full, players will be transported to the Bonus Round with a matching booster – Double, Mystery, or Collect – with the potential to activate all three simultaneously.

During the Hold and Win round’s respins, Mystery Symbols could unveil a Jackpot – Mini, Minor, and Major. To claim the coveted x5,000 Grand Jackpot, players must fill the entire screen with Clovers.

Players can trigger the Free Spins game with three Scatter Symbols, during which Wild Symbols carry a x2 multiplier.

Yuriy Muratov, Chief Commercial Officer at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “With mesmerising graphics and meticulous attention to detail, 3 Clover Pots is designed to captivate and immerse players with a wide range of features.

“We’re excited to introduce this latest addition to our collection and eagerly anticipate its success amongst our esteemed partners.”
