A major release of Synectics’ Synergy software platform has been rolled out to provide greater support to casino customers worldwide.

Featuring impressive next-generation mapping, recording, and analytics integration developments, the release has been designed to help surveillance and casino management teams do more, with less effort, and navigate post-Covid conditions with ease.

Used by integrated resorts and casinos worldwide, Synergy is one of the industry’s most popular command and control platforms. New functions and features in this latest release, including additional cybersecurity protection, build on that reputation.

“Synergy is a platform that matches powerful capability with the realities of fast-paced casino life. The new features we’ve introduced, based on feedback from both integrators and end-users, continue to make our customers’ day-to-day working lives easier,” Dan Noble, Product Manager of Synergy at Synectics, said.

Synergy’s next-generation mapping engine ensures operators stay in control with visibility of real-time events – vital for gaming properties with a large camera count. Surveillance operators can navigate to a specific area and immediately see all the cameras, access control panels, doors, and macros in that location, enabling them to quickly respond to incidents and review crucial evidence.

Synectics Intelligent Edge Recording extends camera SD card life by reducing write cycles, making it another important addition for casinos. Intelligent Edge Recording mitigates the risk of footage loss by using the in-built camera memory to store a cache of video footage, only writing to the SD card if the Synectics IP camera cannot connect to networked storage hardware.

The Asset Register feature in the latest Synergy release gives critical configuration, licensing, and version information for system hardware and software components. It allows managers, engineers, and authorised support teams to see everything they need to ensure the system runs smoothly, all through a single pane of glass.

These latest developments, and the many other features within Synergy, can be built to create a tailored platform, meaning casinos – and integrators working on their behalf – can select the exact capabilities needed to match operational requirements.

“Synergy has a vast range of capabilities and is designed to be both flexible and interoperable. We make it straightforward for our gaming customers to build a solution that meets their needs now, with the knowledge they can easily scale their solution to incorporate new technology and adapt to evolving business strategies,” Dan Noble said.

Evoplay has launched Season of Legends, a year-long network campaign built around four seasonal phases, starting with a spring edition carrying a €512,000 prize pool. The spring phase launched in March and runs across March, April and May.

The studio said the new format follows its previous Big Adventures network campaign and is designed to drive sustained engagement through a more structured seasonal approach. Each season runs for three months with new mechanics and prize pools.

A new mechanic, Infinity Prize Drops, will run daily throughout each month and is not tied to tournament windows. The spring edition also includes a Tournament and Wheel of Fortune, each operating in four monthly phases: 1st- 5th, 9th- 13th, 17th- 21st, and 25th- 29th.

Evoplay said the €512,000 spring prize pool will be distributed across the three-month period via a consolidated leaderboard spanning participating operators. Players earn points through qualifying spins on selected Evoplay titles including Hot Triple Sevens, Piggy Bank: 3 Pots Bonanza, and the Penalty Shoot-out series.

Diana Larina, Head of Marketing at Evoplay, said: “Season of Legends marks the next evolution of our network campaigns. With Big Adventures, we saw just how effective long-term engagement can be, and this new format takes that even further.

“By introducing seasonal structure and mechanics like Infinity Drops, we’re giving operators the tools to maintain consistent player activity, rather than relying on short-term spikes. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to build momentum throughout the year.”
