Launches and sign-ups extra 27 January 2017

NetEnt has bolstered its jackpot game portfolio with the launch of Divine Fortune.

The five-reel, three-row, 20-line fixed video slot goes back in time to ancient Greece and a world of mythical creatures, legendary riches, and golden coins.

The game is filled with falling wild re-spins, wild substitutions and a jackpot bonus game with three different jackpots including the progressive mega jackpot.

“The launch of Divine Fortune takes the range and quality on offer to an even higher level,” Simon Hammon, chief product officer of NetEnt. “We have no doubts that the game will be a hugely popular addition to our game portfolio.”

Tatts Group has struck a deal with Comtrade Gaming to integrate the firm’s G2S (host-side) protocol stacks into its products.

Comtrade Gaming’s software solution will serve as a technical addition to Tatts Group’s monitoring platform in Australia.

“Monitoring gaming machines in highly regulated jurisdictions is extremely complex,” said Frank Makryllos, chief operating officer of gaming solutions at Tatts Group.

“Venues in NSW can be confident in the implementation of new functionality and features through the joint implementation of Comtrade’s gaming technology solution.”

Betfred has become one of the first operators to go live with Degree 53’s newly developed on-demand virtual gold game, created in conjunction with Inspired Gaming.

Rush Golf Live, launched on Betfred’s virtual sports platform, sees six of Europe’s elite take on the best players from across the pond in a Ryder Cup style affair.

“Rush Golf Live is really innovative in that it’s a combination of real life footage and CGI,” Degree 53 MD Andrew Daniels, said. “We believe this makes it one of the best virtual products currently on the market.”

LeoVegas has marked its five-year launch anniversary with the release of a new game created by Gamevy.

Be the King is an instant win game where players choose when to cash out – or whether to risk their winnings as they collect Leo symbols to win up to €1m.

Players must search for 10 Leo poker chips which are hidden on the board players. With every chip found, a lion will roar in triumph and players must decide whether to cash out or keep looking. A player has four lives – which reset each time a chip is found.

“We’re delighted with the finished look and feel on this new addition to our portfolio,” LeoVegas’ head of casino, Karolina Pelc, said. “At LeoVegas we value mobile innovation and being able to offer something different, that is not only customised with our branding, but also gives players an opportunity to instantly win up to €1m.”

Perform Group has launched a new Opta-powered football visualisation product, which tracks the ball movement, as well as player identification and individual actions on the ball during a live football match.

The product, on show at ICE in London next month, is available for over 10,000 matches per season across more than 60 top football competitions, including all major global league and cup competitions.

By enabling users to quickly and easily track a player’s influence on the game, as well as the position of play, the user can make informed betting decisions, as well as keep track of a match in unparalleled detail.

“This year we will launch a series of innovative new products driven by the highest quality sports content in the industry,” Andrew Ashenden, EVP Betting at Perform, said. “Our Opta-powered football visualisation, incorporating detailed player data, is just one of the exciting developments.”

Online casino platform and game developer Nolimit city has partnered with Relax Gaming in a deal that will see it provide its fellow supplier with high definition slots games.

Nolimit city will integrate its content directly into Relax Gaming’s Silver Bullet casino platform, which is used by more than 30 online casino operators including LeoVegas, Mr Green, Betsson and Unibet.

Following the platform-to-platform integration, operators will gain access to titles such as Oktoberfest, Creepy Carnival, and Space Arcade.

“This is a game-changing deal for us, and we are thrilled to have signed it,” Jonas Tegman, chief technology officer at Nolimit city, said. “Relax work with the operators we want to supply our games to, and this is an effective and efficient way of doing it.”

Yggdrasil Gaming’s latest slot Alchymedes opens the door to a mysterious laboratory where the player chooses between larger multipliers and larger spreading wild patterns to put together their own mix of bonuses.

With no free spins, players instead chase the best mix of spreading wild pattern and multipliers by completing levels. Players complete levels by scoring line wins on all symbol positions.

Once all positions have been part of a win line, the level is completed, and the player can choose between the chance for better wild patterns or better multipliers for the next level. Each level-ending winning spin is also awarded with a multiplier that has been rising throughout the level.

“Giving players control over multipliers and wilds means they can find the right formula for their bonuses to unlock big wins,” Jonas Strandman, head of gaming at Yggdrasil Gaming, said.

EveryMatrix has signed a deal with Gamescale to deliver its CasinoEngine aggregator to the B2B supplier via a specially designed API.

The deal will enable Gamescale to integrate its existing platform with CasinoEngine, offer its players games from a range of providers, including NetEnt, Scientific Games and Microgaming.

“We firmly believe that Gamescale’s decision to choose our company’s casino product will sustain their future growth,” Ebbe Groes, EveryMatrix CEO, said.

We are keen to fulfil their high expectations. Our CasinoEngine solution will enable them offer an all-inclusive selection of mobile and desktop games.”
