Latest solutions will help operators combat increased taxation and regulation

 

Playtech BGT Sports’ Senior Commercial Director, Lee Drabwell, will tell this week’s Betting on Football conference that product innovation and diversification can help retail operators combat increased running costs.

Drabwell, who previously spent over 30 years at Ladbrokes, will take part in a panel at Stamford Bridge next week (Weds 20th March) amid predictions of widespread shop closures in the UK.

This follows next month’s reduction of the maximum wager on fixed odds betting terminals from £100 to £2, which will hit the profitability of hundreds of shops operated by major chains and independents alike.

But Drabwell believes retail operations in both the UK and beyond have a bright future if the industry embraces a digitised experience with technology that is familiar to the next generation of customer and immersive content that fully engages them.

He said: “Retail has been the poor relation of online when it comes to innovation for too long, but we can now provide customers with a genuine omni-channel journey which blends the speed and efficiency of their hand-held devices with the thrill of a live sport and a cash environment.”

“Most importantly, our SSBTs and the data and picture content which complements them, now produce a seamless in-play experience that is convenient for the modern consumer and helps produce incremental revenues to allow operators to prosper.”

Playtech BGT Sports will showcase its industry-leading range of products and features at Betting on Football that will boost both customer engagement and revenues for retail operators, particularly around in-shop in-play functionality.

Among other products, it will reveal the new contactless payment functionality on its self-service betting terminals, which is currently being trialled by Paddy Power.

This will be joined by its state-of-the-art content engine, which uses artificial intelligence to suggest relevant selections and interesting content by harnessing millions of previous calculations and comparisons.

The supplier will also be discussing its new collaboration with leading content provider Vermantia. The combined retail solution will give customers the chance to bet on over 36,000 live betting events using pictures and data supplied to in-shop screens by Vermantia, with ready access to PBS’s odds and betting markets on its SSBTs.

PBS executives will be speaking to show delegates about new functionality for its retail mobile app, as well as demonstrating new content that will allow rapid-fire in play betting on football and other sports.

Visitors to Stamford Bridge can join Lee Drabwell for the Betting shops: A New Approach needed panel at 11:20 on Wednesday 20th March or visit Playtech BGT Sports’ stand (31) at the event.

All-new open and inclusive multi-divisional team league offers players more opportunities to compete, with USD $170,000 prize pool and a chance to qualify for the inaugural Esports World Cup

ESL FACEIT Group (EFG), the leading esports and video game entertainment company, today announced the launch of FACEIT League, an Overwatch® team League operated by FACEIT, the world’s leading online platform for competitive gaming. The all-new open circuit invites players of all skill levels across six regions to compete for their chance to win a share of the $170,000 prize pool and secure a seat at top regional slots in the inaugural Esports World Cup (EWC) taking place this summer.

FACEIT League builds on the success of the platform’s long-running Counter-Strike model, which fosters gaming communities through always-on, consistent, and rewarding structured competition and an emphasis on teamwork. An extension of ESL FACEIT Group’s multi-year agreement with Blizzard Entertainment to drive the growth of Overwatch Esports, the new community platform offers players opportunities to go from grassroots play to the world stage.

The response from Overwatch players on FACEIT has exceeded our expectations and illustrates the need for the robust, sustainable structure that we’re building with FACEIT League,” said Warren Leigh, Senior Vice President of Product, Digital Platforms, ESL FACEIT Group. “With over 50 seasons of Counter-Strike experience building some of the most successful grassroots esports ecosystems, having the opportunity to support the Overwatch community with a bespoke program is incredibly exciting.”

FACEIT League will offer multiple seven-week seasons each year, maximizing the number of opportunities for players in North America; EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, North Africa), Oceania, and South America to compete. The circuit caters to all levels of players, from fledgeling first-timers to experienced teams, presenting more opportunities to showcase raw talent and help them practice, improve, and qualify for in-person events with substantial prize pools. The Regular Season 1 takes place from April 29 to June 9, with the winning teams progressing to the Playoffs happening from June 10-23. Teams will then compete for a coveted $170,000 FACEIT League cash prize, as well as higher division promotion and a seat across EMEA, North America, Oceania and South America slots at the Esports World Cup taking place this Summer 2024.

Divisions for each region will be split into Master: Road to Esports World Cup; Expert, Advanced, and Open, with an Advanced division available for players from EMEA and North America. Expert and Advanced divisions will only be accessible via invitation to the top players based on their Elo rating, which starts based on players’ in-game ranks.

COSY UP WITH WILD WINS AND MAGIC MULTIPLIERS IN LUCKY CUSHIONS BY BOLDPLAY

Published

on

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Get ready to put your feet up and ease into a world of cascading wins in Lucky Cushions by Boldplay – the brand-new cluster pays slot where perfect pillow placement can result in players landing consecutive wins on each and every spin!

Played across an expanded 8×8 gameboard, action takes place in front of a cosy backdrop littered with colourful cushions and players will need to put together clusters of matching icons to trigger a symbol cascade. Whenever this happens, all cushions featured in the cluster will be removed from play as new ones drop from above to fill their place, potentially creating additional payouts.

What makes Lucky Cushions comfortably stand out from other cluster pays slots, however, is its exciting bonus features. Firstly, on each new round, players will notice that one non-wild icon will be selected at random to receive an additional multiplier. Any cluster wins that this special symbol appears in will see the regular win boosted by the multiplier value for even better rewards.

On top of that, the game’s wild symbol not only substitutes for all regular icons to complete winning clusters, but when it does, all matching cushions elsewhere on the reels will also be removed, potentially triggering an improved cascade. This effect can also stack after each new cascade, with players able to land consecutive wins on each game round.

To make those well-furnished wins even easier to come by, whenever a spin takes place where no clusters appear and there’s a matching symbol in one of the adjacent reel spaces, it will magically swap positions to complete a cluster and give players an additional chance to start a cascade.

Speaking on this cosy new addition to the Boldplay slot catalogue, Head of Design, Marcus Taylor said: “With its cascading reels, wild wins and big-money multipliers, Lucky Cushions is comfortably the most exciting cluster pays slot we’ve developed so far and we think players are going to love settling in for a session where multiple prizes are available on each and every spin.

“Featuring an expanded 8×8 gameboard, second-chance wins and a pair of rewarding in-reel bonus features, Lucky Cushions is an innovative addition to our line-up that’s perfectly optimised for mobile devices, making it’s a must-have title for all online operators who offer Boldplay slots.”

The Procedure of Conducting the Game and the Winning Options

Tower Rush challenges players to strategically place building floors on top of each other, aiming to achieve the highest possible odds. With limitless potential for stacking floors, players can create an endless chain of structures while avoiding collapses. Successfully placing a floor results in winning corresponding odds, while a collapse leads to a loss.

The Procedure of Making Bets in the Game

To start the game, players specify their bet amount and press the “Build” button. Floors are dropped from above, and successful placement results in winnings. Players have the option to cash out or continue building. Multiple successful placements increase winnings exponentially, while a collapse allows players to start a new round.

About the Game:
In Tower Rush, the goal is to avoid collapses and secure wins by successfully placing each floor. When players successfully place the floor, the winning odds for each new floor will be multiplied by one another, and upon cashing out, the bet amount will be multiplied by this cumulative odds value.

Main Highlights:

  • Up to 3 Unique Bonus Floors: In the game, there are three different ways to receive bonuses: Frozen Floor, Temple Floor, and Triple Build.
  • Unique Game Concept: Tower Rush introduces an original gameplay concept that sets it apart in the iGaming industry.
