Fast-growing data science company renews deal with Swiss casino group to further drive retention and provide ML-based gamification optimisation to its B2B arm, Gamanza Group AG

Golden Whale Productions, the innovative data science company specialising in AI-powered solutions and machine learning for the iGaming industry, has announced it has signed a multi-year extension to its current agreement with Stadtcasino Baden Group.

Having previously worked with the Swiss casino group to drive customer retention and thereby increase its market share, Golden Whale will continue to support the business in this capacity while also cooperating more intensively with the Stadtcasino Baden Group’s B2B arm, Gamanza.

A subsidiary of Stadtcasino Baden Group, Gamanza has a strong track record for creating software for the iGaming industry and counts GamanzaEngage – Switzerland’s leading software suite for online casinos – among its recent success stories. Now supported by Golden Whale, the B2B brand will be able to draw on powerful ML-based optimisation to further enhance its offering.

One of the main aspects Golden Whale will focus on as part of the extended deal is using its advanced, data-driven technologies to turbo-charge Gamanza’s existing gamification suite, with this empowering the group to offer an even more comprehensive promotional toolkit to its clients.

As such, the renewed partnership offers considerable strategic importance for both Gamanza and the Stadtcasino Baden Group brand, while also offering Golden Whale the opportunity to deploy its ML systems and predictive optimisation tools among a large and highly-engaged customer base.

Eberhard Dürrschmid, Chief Executive Officer at Golden Whale, said: “Golden Whale is delighted to announce we’ve agreed a multi-year extension to our current deal with Stadtcasino Baden Group that will see us assist the company with both player retention and increasing market share.

“As part of the agreement, we’ll continue the strong work we’ve done with the brand over the past couple of years while also cooperating more closely with its main B2B arm, Gamanza, to bring our pioneering form of ML-based optimisation directly onto the latter’s gamification suite.”

Christian Aumüller, Chief Executive Officer at Stadtcasino Baden Group, said: “As one of the gaming industry’s true trailblazers, Stadtcasino Baden Group is very happy to renew its partnership with Golden Whale Productions – a company that, like us, now sits at the very forefront of iGaming innovation.

“The decision to extend the deal was made with a view to drive customer retention and further increase our market share, while also optimising the products and services we offer to B2B clients through Gamanza. With AI and machine learning both having a big role to play in the future of iGaming, the collaboration will hold great strategic importance for us going forward.”

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has added Zeus Unchained Hold & Hit to its marvellous Mythology series. Zeus Unchained Hold & Hit presents a grid framework of 5×3 and is set at 25 fixed lines.

Once the action is underway, players join Zeus, the ancient Greek god of sky and thunder for a battle on the reels. A powerful soundtrack heightens the anticipation as players look for Wild symbols on screen. Three or four Wild symbols will only pay out when followed by free spins or a bonus symbol. The Wild will count as any symbol aside from free spins and bonus symbols.

Three Scatter Free Spins symbols will launch the Free Spins game. In the base game, these Scatter Free Spins symbols can only be located on reels 1, 3, and 5. Three Scattered symbols will award players with three free spins that return 3x the total bet. During free spins, any symbol can appear as a colossus symbol (3×3), covering the centre of the slot across reels 2 to 4. Any scattered symbol (bonus or free spins) will only land as a colossus symbol and will trigger its feature. A Free Spins colossus symbol will award players with three more free spins and pay x3 the total bet.

The Hold & Hit feature takes this game to the next level. Six or more Scatter bonus symbols will launch the bonus game where the symbols that initiated the feature will remain locked in place for the bonus. Players will begin with three spins and once the empty spots are completed, or when the spins are finished, the game will conclude.

Every spin could see empty spots filled and award players with prizes ranging from  x1 – x10 multiplier of the total bet. The Mini Jackpot – pays x25 total bet, Major Jackpot – pays x50 total bet and the Mega Jackpot – pays x250 total bet. Each time a spin has a positive result, the counter will reset the remaining spins to three. Players who complete all 15 spots will secure the Grand Jackpot and a prize of x5000 the total bet.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Zeus Unchained Hold & Hit combines captivating gameplay with engaging features that deliver a powerful player experience. Our Mythology series is a fan favourite, and this release adds another awesome chapter.”

Introducing Magawa vs Mines, the debut game from Slammer Studios – a fresh new player in the industry. With the launch of this vibrant 7×7 slot, the studio is kicking things off in style.

Inspired by the legendary Magawa, a rat whose life-saving landmine detection skills have earned worldwide acclaim, this game pays tribute to this incredible hero. With Magawa vs Mines, players get to honour the courage of an extraordinary rat, reliving his daring missions through high-energy gameplay.

You’ll join forces with Magawa on his latest life-saving mission, spinning the reels to reveal the remarkable rat at work. But it’s the flurry of features where things get truly explosive.

For example, there’s the Rat Run – launched by landing a Rat Wild and Mystery Mine on the reels. When this is triggered, Rat Wilds run to the nearest Mystery Mines and set off the Mystery Reveal feature. Base Game Mines are also triggered via the Rat Run, revealing mystery symbols on the grid. You can buy a bonus too, helping you scuttle towards success even quicker.

Don’t forget to try and set off the Chain Reaction, which is randomly triggered after Mystery Reveals or winning combinations. This in turn triggers extra Mystery Mines, creating more space for more winning symbols and leading to — yep, you guessed it — a chain reaction of big wins!

There’s Free Games too, triggered by revealing three Scatters or more on the reels. When these games are on the go, Mystery Mines turn golden with multipliers attached… the perfect way to help you win up to 20,000x your bet.

Get ready to join the adventure when Magawa vs Mines launches on November 28, 2024. This exciting debut from Slammer Studios is set to bring impactful gaming to players everywhere. Don’t miss your chance to dive into the action and experience the bravery of Magawa first-hand!
