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.

Betsoft Gaming Sets the Stage for a Great Battle with FIRE & STEEL

,

BetsoftLeap into the blazing fray of high fantasy with the upcoming release of FIRE & STEEL, the newest addition to Betsoft’s renowned Slots3™ collection.  With visually breathtaking 3D graphics, the cornerstone of Betsoft’s creations, this uniquely crafted 3-4-5-4-3 diamond format video slot features a theme that highlights the epic battle of good vs. evil.

FIRE & STEEL is the story of two rival noble Houses who have been fighting since the ancient High Queen was assassinated. Though she had two children, neither one was formally named as heir.

The first Shield Maiden and her House gathered in the dry, mountainous western region of the country. During gameplay, if the Shield Maiden appears on the reels, her powerful War Cry causes a horizontal Beam of Strength to emanate from her icon, transforming every icon it touches into a Wild icon.

The first Swordsman took the House that was sworn to him and settled in the stormy, swampy northern region of the nation. When the Swordsman appears on the reels, his booming War Cry creates a vertical Beam of Magical Strength, springing from his icon and turning every icon it touches into a Wild icon.

Through the generations that have passed, the war has only escalated but no one could have expected the Coming of the Dragons.

The Shield Maiden and Swordsman were on the battlefield when change blasted through their war-torn nation. A flight of black Dragons exploded from a deep rift in the earth to descend upon the fighting Houses, covering the field in flame and shadow.

If both the Shield Maiden and the Swordsman appear on the reels together, and if their Beams of Strength intersect at any point, a storm of magic will transform that icon into a Locked Wild and the player will be honoured with 10 free spins. Free spins may re-trigger on the field of battle during this feature.

To their shock, the combined war cry seemed to have a stunning effect on the Dragons. The Houses began to work together for the first time to eliminate the greatest threat the nation has ever known, remembered as the era of FIRE & STEEL.

FIRE & STEEL proudly brandishes its banners through the strength of Betsoft’s Shift™ platform, which uses the power of HTML5 technology creating smoother, high definition animations across multiple platforms with drastically reduced file sizes, while keeping our industry renowned 3D style.

Form and function for this game have been meticulously crafted, and the per session KPIs for FIRE AND STEEL show strong reception in test play markets. FIRE AND STEEL, with its widely-adored fantasy theme, epic soundtrack and perfected gameplay, will be an asset for any operator looking to extend session play times and profitability.

The true battle of FIRE & STEEL begins on 24 July.

He’s coming back! Microgaming signs licensing deal for horror classic Halloween®

,

MicrogamingISLE OF MAN – Microgaming has signed a licensing agreement to develop an online slot based on the classic horror movie, Halloween®.

The 1978 American independent slasher film was directed and scored by John Carpenter, co-written with producer Debra Hill, and starred Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis in her film debut. The film centres on the character Michael Myers, who on Halloween night in 1963 at the age of six, murdered his sister. 15 years later, he returns to the fictional midwestern town of Haddonfield, Illinois to continue his killing spree.

Halloween was produced on a small budget of $300,000 and to date has grossed $47 million at the box office in the United States, and $23 million internationally, making a total of $70 million worldwide. It was the first instalment in what has become the Halloween franchise, with 10 films in total released to date.

The film (nearly 40 years later) continues to be a firm favourite with viewers and critics. In 2006 the movie was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”. It also features in many movie polls, including being named in 2010 as one of The 100 Greatest Movies of All Time (Total Film).

“Halloween is a true classic and set the standard for modern horror films. It was immeasurably influential in the slasher genre of movies, so it is great to be working with such an iconic and respected brand. Embracing all the elements of what made the movie such a success, our games team are busy developing a slot for release later in the year.”

David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming
