Chris Nikolopoulos, CCO at Betby, sat down with European Gaming to discuss the upcoming SIGMA conference, and what to expect from the exciting sportsbook supplier.

                        

SiGMA is right around the corner, what can we expect to see from Betby at the show?

Betby will be exhibiting at stand B49, where we will be showcasing our forward-thinking sportsbook solution and popular Betby.Games offering – both of which demonstrate our credentials as a flexible, customer-centric supplier with global ambition.

By taking classic sports betting markets and pivoting them into a proprietary range of AI-led video games, we have demonstrated our innovative approach to problem solving, while continuing to carve a niche for ourselves in the market. We will have a number of experts on hand at SiGMA to talk visitors through our unique products and look forward to having the opportunity to discuss some of our exciting upcoming projects with industry colleagues and prospective clients.

As always, the show provides a fantastic opportunity to meet up with old friends, new partners, and continue to enjoy the return of live events following the pandemic. For this reason, we will have a big presence at the event throughout the week, so please do not hesitate to come over for a chat!

 

What are you most excited for at the event? 

SiGMA never fails to put on a fantastic collection of both exhibits and panel discussions, and we’re really interested to see what major industry figures have to say on a number of interesting topics, as well as share our insight with partners.

The summit has long established itself as a key event in the iGaming calendar, and the strength of attendees serves as a testament to this. Everything is lined up for it to be another fantastic exhibition, and we are so excited to arrive in Malta for the week-long event.

 

The 2022 World Cup is just around the corner, with it set to be an intriguing tournament with its new place in the calendar. What does Betby have planned to capitalise on the event?

It is well established that soccer is the most popular sport around the world, so the World Cup is naturally seen as the biggest event in the sporting calendar. With the tournament taking place in winter for the first time ever, sports fans have no idea what to expect from it, and are anxiously awaiting for it to kick off at the end of the month.

At Betby, we have prepared a series of World Cup-inspired features to offer our clients the best possible experience while it is played out, which should allow them to maximise the attention and engagement potential that arrives with the month-long competition. As we edge closer to the first round of games, we are set to release our dedicated World Cup page, packed full of useful information, statistics, and odds to keep bettors well informed and aware of the various trends that emerge during events of this size.

We’re also applying the final touches to our anticipated World Cup gamification widget, which will all allow bettors to earn points and move up a leaderboard by placing bets under specific conditions, mimicking the excitement that the group stages of the tournament generate. The innovative feature will allow participants to qualify for a number of incredible prizes, which we will be sponsoring in collaboration with our partners!

The greatest service we can provide our partners with at extremely demanding times is a reliable and scalable system, but this has always been a core principle of ours. For us at Betby, it has always been about keeping our partners happy during these intense periods, reminding them that we offer a first-rate solution that requires no additional maintenance from their end.

 

Betby has enjoyed a strong year of product development, particularly with its Betby.Games range. Can we expect to see more products launched in this vertical soon?

The Betby.Games range has earned its reputation as one of the most revolutionary products in the industry and is playing a big role in our success as a separate business unit under the Betby umbrella. We now cover eight different sports and approximately 100,000 live events per month in the product portfolio, and the number is only set to increase in the months ahead.

Of course, development never stops, and we are currently working on several projects that we believe will really stand out in the market. I can’t reveal all the details yet, but what I can say is that instead of launching another sport or increasing the coverage on existing sports which we will already do, we will be offering some sport related games under the form of quick gameplay.

The Betby.Games offering will continue growing and morphing into an incredibly exciting product that sits in a vertical all of its own, and we cannot wait to see how the new products are received by our customers.

Blueprint Gaming releases Wolf Fury Fire Blitz slot

Published

blueprint-gaming-releases-wolf-fury-fire-blitz-slot

New title adds Fire Spins and Blitz Spins bonuses plus Standard, Super and Ultra Power Play modes at 5x, 10x and 20x stake.

Blueprint Gaming has released a new slot, Wolf Fury Fire Blitz, built around an “evolving Fire Blitz mechanic” and two bonus paths: Fire Spins and Blitz Spins.

The game uses a Fire Blitz logo above the reels as a meter. In the base game and Power Play, the supplier said every Cash and Wolf symbol contributes to the meter, with boosts able to add extra symbols and “guarantees either Fire Spins or Blitz Spins.”

Fire Spins triggers when six or more Cash symbols land in view. Each reel position spins independently to add more Cash or Wolf symbols, with new symbols resetting a three-spin counter and locking in place. Blueprint said the Wolf can land on the centre reel to collect all Cash symbols in view, then collect additional prizes that land for the remainder of the feature.

Blitz Spins activates when a Wolf symbol lands on reel three alongside Cash symbols on two adjacent reels. During the bonus, the Wolf collects every Cash symbol that lands before the reels respin, and additional Wolf symbols can lock in place, with up to three collectors active at once.

The title also includes Blueprint Gaming’s multi-level Power Play, offering Standard, Super or Ultra modes at 5x, 10x or 20x the base stake. In these modes, the company said only Cash and Wolf symbols appear on the reels.

Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing, PR and Events at Blueprint Gaming™, said: “Wolf Fury Fire Blitz combines several of our most engaging mechanics into a fast-paced experience that offers players frequent feature opportunities and exciting collection gameplay. The Fire Blitz mechanic creates anticipation throughout every session, while the dual bonus structure ensures plenty of variety.

“The addition of our multi-level Power Play further enhances the experience by giving players greater control over how they engage with the game, reinforcing our commitment to delivering innovative, feature-rich content that performs across regulated markets worldwide.”

Playson has launched 4 Chili Pots: Hold and Win, a new slot built around Hold and Win and Pots mechanics with two bonus modes and jackpots reaching 10,000x.

The game runs on a 5×3 grid and triggers a Hold and Win Bonus Game with Chili Features when red, orange or green Chili Bonus symbols land, combining with enlarged matching chilis above the reels. The chilli colour determines the feature in play: red triggers a Multi Feature that adds multipliers up to 5x; orange triggers a Mystery Feature that can award Mini, Minor or Major jackpot values or a coin value up to 75x; and green triggers a Collect Feature that gathers the value of all symbols in play, including any attached multipliers.

A golden Super Chili Bonus symbol can trigger a Super Bonus Game on an expanded 5×5 grid, with random Multi, Mystery or Collect features, including combinations. During the round, the active Super Chili Feature lands random Chili Bonus symbols until six are present, which then activates a new feature or enhances the current one.

Playson said jackpots can be triggered in both bonus modes. Filling all 15 cells in the classic bonus awards the Grand Jackpot at 3,000x, while filling all 25 cells in the Super Bonus Game awards the Super Jackpot at 10,000x. Skull-themed symbols can also appear in bonus play and transform into red, orange or green Chili Bonus symbols. The title includes two Buy Bonus levels, allowing players to trigger the Bonus Game or Super Bonus Game with one, two or three Chili Features.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “Our fiery new title showcases our continued focus on evolving proven mechanics in fresh and exciting ways. By combining two player-favourite features with layered bonus progression, dynamic Chili Features and a Super Bonus Game offering even greater rewards, we have created a title that delivers excitement throughout every stage of play.

“Complemented by its vibrant Mexican fiesta theme and engaging gameplay, we are confident 4 Chili Pots: Hold and Win will prove to be another valuable addition to our partners’ casino offerings.”

Under the theme “Perspectives,” a total of 43 compliance staff members from the Merkur Group across various countries gathered from 30 June to 1 July to further develop compliance processes in a sustainable manner. Colleagues from Germany, Spain, England, Malta, Australia and the US traveled to the two-day meeting at Benkhausen Castle, the in-house training centre of the Merkur Group. The workshop set the stage with expert presentations on global and digital topics such as cybersecurity, risk management and artificial intelligence. A panel discussion featuring representatives from various international companies within the Merkur Group, as well as a digital quiz, rounded out the programme.

In keeping with its guiding principle, the workshop focused on sharing experiences, fostering global networking and providing impetus for the further development of compliance processes. Because informal exchanges are also key to close cooperation, the evening programme created a relaxed atmosphere and gave participants the opportunity to continue their conversations, make new connections, and further strengthen team spirit across company and national boundaries.

“The ideas and diverse perspectives gained during the workshop will now be incorporated into our day-to-day work and help us to continuously improve collaboration and existing processes,” said Ludwig Beckmann, Chief Compliance Officer of the Merkur Group.

The concluding feedback session also highlighted just how valuable the international exchange is. The term “collaboration” came up particularly often, a clear indication of how highly the participants value working closely together within the international compliance network.
