Slot provider is nominated for Best Software Provider and Best New Slot categories voted for by players

Casino software developer Playson has been nominated for Best Software Provider and Best New Slot for Solar Queen at the AskGamblers Awards 2020.

Voted for by players, the awards recognise companies who have delivered innovative slots over the last 12 months.

The supplier has made significant strategic moves over the last year and has greatly extended its global reach after signing numerous commercial deals and securing new licences.

Nominated for Best New Slot, Solar Queen is currently Playson’s top-performing game and has achieved the much sought-after goal of “stickiness” with leading operator partners. The title has broken records for the number of bets and players.

Lars Kollind, Business Development Manager at Playson, said: “The last 12 months has been an exciting time for Playson and we’re thrilled to have been recognised by AskGamblers for all our hard work.

“Winning any award is only possible because of the efforts put in by the entire team. Our goal is always to produce innovative content with unique features, and we look forward to the awards and thank every player who voted.”

Pragmatic Play, one of the leading software providers for video slots, live casino and bingo, has taken its Live Casino offering online with software solutions provider BetConstruct.

BetConstruct customers will now have access to one of the most cutting-edge Live Casino portfolios in the market, with games including Live Blackjack and Live Roulette delivered from Pragmatic Play’s state-of-the-art studio.

This latest landmark for the provider’s Live Casino vertical comes after the recent announcement that Pragmatic received a Recognition Notice to offer Live Casino and Bingo products to MGA licensed operators. The supplier was also granted an operational license by the Romanian regulator earlier in 2019.

Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “We are very pleased to have launched our cutting-edge Live Casino product with BetConstruct.

“BetConstruct have a very exciting product, and we look forward to continuing to grow with them as a partner.”

Undoubtedly, their true omni-channel offering will find a great success through BetConstruct’s Casino Suite and deliver an immersive gaming experience to all players.”

Pragmatic Play has signed a series of significant commercial agreements over the past 12 months in regulated markets, expanding its reach with operators including PokerStars, Kindred and Casumo.

The provider’s entire portfolio of video slots, bingo, live casino and other games are all available via a single API.

Evolution Gaming, leading provider of Live Casino solutions, has announced that it has signed what it describes as “a major Live Casino deal” with Flutter Entertainment brands Paddy Power and Betfair.

The agreement will see the group’s Paddy Power and Betfair brands offer Evolution’s entire Live Casino portfolio, including Evolution’s exclusive game show titles such as Deal or No Deal Live and Lightning Roulette, as well as its international native speaking Roulette package.

We are thrilled at the prospect of Flutter Entertainment’s powerhouse brands Paddy Power and Betfair presenting our world-leading Live Casino offering and we are sure that their players will relish our live game shows offering.”
