Live Tech Games secures £1million investment to pioneer new wave of mobile entertainment

Live Tech Games has just announced it has closed a second successful six-digit funding round, with prominent business Angel Investors.

‘Raising investment in one lockdown was a challenge and we never expected to have to do it for a second round. We saw so much promise for the future of Live Tech Games in the beta launch of our first app and we were delighted our investors felt the same. The early success points towards a growing commercial opportunity in the B2B and media sectors and this incredible investment will allow us to reinforce the potential Live Tech Games has to be a leading industry pioneer.’ says Nathan Moore, CEO and Co-Founder of Live Tech Games.

Live Tech Games is a unique platform that combines mobile entertainment and live gaming tournaments, on an exclusive as well as a national scale. It fills the gap in the mobile gaming industry for live, light-hearted games; competitive but inclusive; commitment-free and with the capacity for high reward. Its first app Roshambo Live thrilled UK players with its simple but iconic concept: live, knock-out rounds of Rock Paper Scissors, beating out opponents for the chance to win £1,000. Free to play and taking just five minutes, Roshambo Live has brought excitement and adrenaline to players up and down a country in lockdown.

With an unexpected year of lockdowns, Live Tech Games pivoted its offering to provide private, company-specific games. HR departments have used Roshambo Live to connect with workforces whilst they work from home, and pubs and bars are already signing up to host private Roshambo Live games in their venues as we start to move out of lockdown. The unique capability of the technology to offer both a nationwide game for thousands of players, and private games that are specific to venues and offices, sets Live Tech Games leagues above other studios launching this year.

Currently relanching Roshambo Live following the open beta last year, the initial player stats have been extremely positive showing great user engagement and feedback, with the app reaching #3 in the App Store charts within just a week of its relaunch. The app grew steadily, proving much more popular than anticipated in the open beta stage and organically creating a dedicated and thriving community of Roshambo Live players. Whilst it began as a competitive live gaming experience with high rewards, Roshambo Live has also opened up a space for connection and a socially distanced thrill throughout lockdown. With its standalone technology for live, knock-out tournament-style rounds of simple, family-friendly games, Roshambo Live pairs players up across the country making it possible to connect with family and friends from a safe distance. Challenging other households and comparing scores on weekly boards has proven a great way to connect across lockdowns and introduce games to the ‘non-gamers’.

Live Tech Games was created by Co-CEOs and Founders Nathan Moore and Samuel Worsley after leaving Microsoft to build their own business, less than two years ago. At Microsoft they both gained invaluable experience in software and managing tech development teams, and brought this into their creation of Live Tech Games, a platform focused on delivering B2B and B2C live entertainment experiences for the nation.

Drive player engagement higher with ICONIC21’s Mines

Provider introduces an additional arcade game to its expanding collection, enabling operators to capitalize on the increasing demand for dynamic content.

A single action transforms everything in Mines, the newest virtual game from sought-after iGaming content creator, ICONIC21.

Mines operates on a clear grid where each successful uncovering of a safe location immediately increases the multiplier. Enabling the user to choose both the grid dimensions and the count of hidden mines grants them greater control over the unpredictability and possible expansion of their session.

This style of play focuses on the “Cash Out,” a moment of heightened control where the player chooses precisely when to lock in their progress before a mine resets the game board.

The essence of the experience is influenced by managing risk and timing. Players have the option to choose from 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5 grids, in addition to deciding how many mines can show up, effectively creating their own risk-to-reward ratio on the spot.

Mines secures complete market reach with one product, enhancing lifetime value as users revisit to explore new strategies amid various volatility levels, fostering deeper and more meaningful engagement.

This changes the game into a high-efficiency, streamlined format that seamlessly accommodates all player groups.

Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “Mines is the perfect balance between simplicity and strategy. Players choose their grid, define their own risk-reward level, and decide how far they want to push their luck.

With the option to use autoplay for fast gameplay and the potential for extremely high multipliers, it creates a thrilling experience where every click matters.

In addition, ICONIC21 provides flexible real estate for custom branding, allowing operators to deliver a bespoke experience that aligns with their specific market identity and target audiences.“

Master Momentum to Conquer Pinball Rush from VeliPlay

Published

on

master-momentum-to-conquer-pinball-rush-from-veliplay

The latest crash-themed game from the powerhouse provider eliminates the rising curve format and relies on physics and designed pinball dynamics instead.

Release the ball. Allow physics to take charge. That’s the concept behind Pinball Rush, the crash-themed instant win game from popular content creator, VeliPlay.

Pinball Rush abandons the traditional gradual progression format and is instead driven by designed pinball dynamics.

The ball does not simply descend. Rather, it battles gravity, bouncing through Kickers, Slingshots, Bumpers, and One-Way Gates, remaining in motion until the landing determines the outcome.

Each impact recalibrates the path. Momentum increases. Tension intensifies.

This enables Pinball Rush to connect classic arcade nostalgia with contemporary gambling mechanics, providing a new option to conventional slots and typical crash games.

Here’s how it functions…

Gamers make a wager, select one of three difficulty tiers, and dive into a realm structured for constant movement.

The round concludes when the ball falls into one of the nine bottom cells, and the Multiplier is secured. The Multiplier Crater subsequently adds another multiplier and sends the ball back into the game.

The Bonus Saucer, activated by striking the five Light Activation Bumps, seizes the ball, adds a further Multiplier, and sends it off in a different direction before turning off.

Escalation stays managed within a specified rebound threshold (50 bumps), guaranteeing consistent round duration and uniform volatility.

Here’s a detailed glance at a few of the game’s key moments:

  • Rebound-Driven Physics: Unlike static RNG results, the game uses “bounded escalation” so that every “bounce” increases the Multiplier potential.
  • High-Speed Gameplay: Designed for short, intense sessions that keep players engaged.
  • Visual Flair: Modern, neon-inspired “Arcade 2.0” aesthetic that stands out in a crowded casino lobby.
  • Mobile-First Design: Fluid gameplay optimised for “thumb-play” on handheld devices.

Yevheniia Bocharova, CEO at VeliPlay, said: “We wanted to move beyond the static rising line of traditional crash games and give players a tactile, visual representation of their luck.

“By blending engineered pinball physics with high-stakes Multipliers, we’ve created a single-player flow that feels both nostalgic and cutting-edge. It’s not just about the result, it’s about the journey of the ball.

“With full Bonus Buy and Free Bets compatibility, we’re giving operators a versatile tool to engage a demographic that is increasingly looking for active rather than passive gaming experiences.

“The instant-win category is evolving rapidly, and Pinball Rush is our answer to the demand for more interactive, physics-based content. Pinball Rush fits perfectly into any modern operator’s lobby, offering a high-energy alternative to slots that bridges the gap between arcade play and the next generation of iGaming.”

New Aviamasters™ 2 from BGaming Drives Larger Payouts

Rapidly expanding content provider fuels up for another high-flying hit in this groundbreaking sequel

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is taking to the skies once again for the sequel to its award-winning Aviamasters™ casual game, Aviamasters™ 2.

The organic growth of Aviamasters™, which made it BGaming’s biggest #Casual viral hit, inspired the decision to make the sequel. The game sees Aviamasters™ soar to new heights, with improved graphics, exciting new features, and an increased maximum multiplier, which has quadrupled from x250 to x1,000.

Aviamasters™ became famous across streaming platforms worldwide, with streamers and players shouting “LAND!” as they watched their planes stack up wins mid-flight. These core landing mechanics remain the same in the sequel. Players watch as their plane flies through the sky, gathering wins and collecting multipliers, all while trying to avoid dangerous obstacles and land safely.

Four booster symbols can be picked up during any flight, while the Buy Bonus mode, known as the Safe Landing feature, can guarantee a landing for x50 the player’s stake. Players should be aware that Safe Landing increases their stake on each spin and can be deactivated at any time.

Aviamasters™ found success with the streaming community, and BGaming has tapped into this relationship during the creative process for Aviamasters™ 2. Selected streamers have provided feedback on the gameplay, ensuring it exceeds the high standards set by the original.

Aviamasters™ 2 also tweaks the sound and visuals to appeal to a wider audience. These changes make the game more casual-looking, inviting players to enjoy its fast rounds and unpredictable features. Like the original, it will be added to BGaming’s #Casual portfolio.

It is not just players and streamers who will benefit from Aviamasters™ 2. The game can also be customised to reflect operator branding, providing the title with a wide reach and high marketing potential. The original game delivered viral moments that converted into traffic and big hits for operators, and the sequel promises more of the same.

Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “The first Aviamasters™ was a massive hit for us, with players loving its signature “LAND!” mechanics. With Aviamasters™ 2, we have kept everything that players loved about the original title and improved upon it.

The game is bigger and better than its predecessor, building on its success with greater winning potential and even more gameplay features. We can’t wait to hear even more shouts of “LAND!” coming from players when the sequel hits casino lobbies.”
