RoboCop powers onto Playtech slots portfolio

,

(PRESS RELEASE) London: July 19th 2017 – Playtech, the world’s leading Omni-channel gaming software, systems and services supplier, in partnership with MGM Interactive Inc. (MGM), a subsidiary of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., has launched a thrilling new RoboCop slot game based on the iconic 1980s classic movie that tells the story of bionic policeman ‘Murphy’ who swears to “Serve the public trust, protect the innocent, and uphold the law”.

Brought back to life and rebuilt into the world’s most advanced cybercop after being shot and left for dead by a gang led by ruthless criminal Clarence Boddicker, RoboCop promises to bring Boddicker and his OCP mega corporation boss Dick Jones down in a bid to clean up the city once and for all.

In this new RoboCop online slot, players help him bring justice back to a crime-ridden, corrupt Detroit with an arsenal of crime-fighting features and free games modes.

Blast out extra wild symbols on any spin and add multipliers of up to five times, crash the 3×3 ED-209 Wild onto the reels for high-powered pay-outs, and break into the OCP boardroom to track down corrupt executives for even more cash prizes. Dead or alive, they’re coming with you.

James Frendo, Casino Director at Playtech, said: “Many players will have grown up watching this iconic film which none of us will forget for its, non-stop action sequences and the incredible presence and sounds of RoboCop himself.

“The Playtech content team has worked incredibly hard to deliver a game that stays true to the original film, includes some stunning new features and brings players right to the heart of the action.”

James Frendo, Casino Director, Playtech said: “Dirty Dancing is such an iconic brand that it was an obvious choice for us to transform into a leading branded slot. The game is sure to be an instant hit with our licensees’ players both old and new.”

Playtech BGT Sports to Unveil Exciting SSBT service

,

(PRESS RELEASE) Playtech BGT Sports (PBS), the leading provider of omni-channel sports betting solutions, has ramped up its Self-Service Betting Terminal (SSBT) offering just days before the new football season kicks off.

PBS has delivered significant growth for customers via its terminals in the last 12 months, and the new campaign will witness the launch of a new goalscorer coupon, as well as Asian handicap betting for the first time, with both products set to greatly improve coupon building for customers.

The goalscorer coupon will highlight a list of likely scorers across multiple popular matches, following recent statistics suggesting anytime scorer betting is now outstripping first scorer bets by almost three to one.

Its Asian handicap offering will let customers take advantage of more flexible and competitive two-way total goal and handicap lines across major football leagues. These will be maximised on the terminal’s immersive 22” screens.

John Pettit, Playtech BGT Sport’s UK, Ireland, Asia and Australia Managing Director, said: “High street bookies are facing their fair share of challenges, but the progress and increased profitability of SSBTs has been very positive, as they are successfully providing the choice and ease-of-use that today’s customers demand.

“Our SSBTs help our operator partners drive incremental revenues and we’re confident that our enhanced product range, new coupons, and greater functionality will help that further.”

PBS will present an even more diverse football offering this season, with pre-match and in-play betting available across close to 1,000 competitions in more than 120 countries available on its SSBTs, with the majority of these markets unique to terminals within the retail space.

This will enable operators to drive greater incremental revenue this season, with little cannibalisation of their over-the-counter offering.

In-play customers will also see an improved service, with a greater range of matches present across hundreds of recently-installed terminals in prime position for TV coverage.
