Gambling is one of the oldest forms of entertainment. It is also regarded as a serious business too. This business has come a long way since medieval times when people bet on the winning gladiators during the Roman empire. However, such events would have not so “uncertain” outcomes as the owners of the gladiators could influence the games — an allegation that is commonly placed on most of the current betting sites.

So how do you cure the problem of sporting events being fixed and leaving bettors writhing in losses? Enter Chipz ecosystem, a decentralized blockchain-based betting platform that allows users to bet and be their betting bookmakers. What’s more, Chipz is rolling out a public presale that will gift lucky users with 5k worth of NFT to be used on Chipz’s new NFT marketplace, the chipz.drive. It is also interesting to note that the Chipz platform allows users to stake their CHPZ. This staked CHPZ is used as part of the liquidity pool. Users get 3% of their staked value (simply means that users can use CHPZ to make more CHPZ). This is an exception to betting or staking in a normal casino or sportsbook where bettors hope they can make 3% of their staked value. Sounds cool, right?

You’ve been in the backseat for too long; now, you have the chance of being on the front seat by creating and hosting betting rooms where other users can place their bets. Here’s what Chipz is all about and how you can become an independent betting bookmaker on the platform.

Chipz for Bookmakers

Chipz is a web-based betting platform that allows users to gamble on any event within betting rooms hosted by others users. To participate, users must have enough CHPZ tokens — an ERC-20 token used to run the Chipz ecosystem — to pay for room creation fees. Besides, a non-custodial wallet belonging to the user must also be linked to their Chipz account. The wallet guarantees payment for gas fees as well as the betting amount.

As emphasized by cofounder Justin Lally in a recent podcast on Action and Ambition, Chipz’s main goal is to give equal opportunities to everyone wherever they are in the world by letting them create their sportsbook and invite their friends to place bets.

Therefore, Chipz will only serve as an intermediary for independent bookmakers by providing the platform and the UI required to facilitate a book. In exchange for this service, Chipz only requires the bookmakers to pay a small fee. A bookmaker can choose either of the following payment plans to create rooms on Chipz;

A 3-month plan worth $30 paid in CHPZ
A 6-month plan worth $45 paid in CHPZ
A 1-year plan worth $60 paid in CHPZ

The platform uses smart contracts to scan and report on events. The smart contract also distributes earnings after the events.

The advantage of becoming a bookmaker is that a good attendance of bids enables you to set the fees and the maximum number of bidders. At the end of the event, you will always earn off fees as soon as the smart contract finalizes.

Joining Chipz as A Bookmaker

To become a bookmaker, follow the following host workflow as recommended by the platform design team.

Step 1: Register on the Chipz platform. The process involves choosing your ideal payment plan and linking your non-custodial wallet.

Step 2: Accept terms and conditions set by the system.

Step 3: Create your username and set a strong password.

Step 4: Open the panel on the Chipz interface to create a betting room and become a host.

Step 5: As a host, choose the sports you wish to have in your betting room.

Step 6: Set the closing time for accepting bets.

Step 7: Set the betting conditions.

Once the bookmaker sets the betting conditions, the bettors can select the betting room and wait for the event’s result. The smart contract executes as soon as the event match ends. The host will then collect his fees, and the prize pool is distributed to the winning bets by the smart contract.

The bettors can then rank the host. Once done, the bookmaker confirms the contract to execute his earnings, and the betting room closes.

From the steps outlined above, it is evident that becoming a bookmaker on Chipz is an easy process and one with the real potential of being profitable. The best part is that users can become bookmakers and bettors in different rooms created by other users.

Chipz developers claim that the platform will evolve to allow users to place bets on any future event, including the prices of crypto and eSports, taking the platform’s adoption to greater heights.

Greek mythology slot sequel adds new modifiers and keeps a 5,000x maximum win

Games Global, working with exclusive studio partner Nailed It! Games, has released Raging Gods: Olympus 2 POWER COMBO, a Greek mythology-themed slot sequel. The title uses a 5×3 reel layout with 20 paylines and features a maximum win potential of 5,000x, according to the companies.

The game builds on the original with an expanded POWER COMBO bonus game and new feature modifiers. Games Global said the new additions include Prize Double, which multiplies all Prize Symbol values on the board by 2x, and the Power Symbol, which upgrades individual prize values as spins continue.

The POWER COMBO bonus game can be unlocked by any bonus symbol, with all symbols that land on the feature-activating spin awarding their respective modifiers. Returning mechanics include Prize Booster (increasing Prize Symbol values by up to 5x), Extra Collect (gathering all visible cash values without removing symbols), and Instant Jackpot (awarding one of four fixed jackpots).

A SUPER collection can also open access to the POWER COMBO feature, activating two or more mechanics at the same time once completed. During the feature, Jackpot Gem Symbols contribute towards four fixed jackpots — Mini at 10x, Minor at 20x, Major at 200x and Mega at 5,000x — with multiple jackpots available within a single round.

Paweł Piotrowski, Co-Founder at Nailed It! Games, said: “Raging Gods: Olympus 2 POWER COMBO builds on the original by giving the POWER COMBO bonus game more flexibility.

“Adding Prize Double and Power Symbol allowed us to expand how features combine, which brings more variation to each round.”

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “With Raging Gods: Olympus 2 POWER COMBO, Nailed It! Games have taken a well-performing concept and pushed it further – adding depth, energy, and new ways for players to engage.

“It’s a clear step up for the series and reinforces the strength of this theme within the Games Global portfolio.”

Microgaming is launching a new slot mechanic, Link & Merge, on 29 April via the simultaneous release of three titles: Almighty Zeus Wilds Link&Merge, Lucky Twins Wilds Link&Merge and 123 Soccer Link&Merge.

The Link&Merge feature is positioned as a variation on Hold & Spin-style gameplay. When five or more adjacent Coin symbols land, they link and merge into a single higher-value symbol. The merge then triggers one of three bonus outcomes: Jackpot, Multiply or Spread, with the potential for additional Coin symbols to land and create further merges.

Microgaming is pairing the mechanic with three themes at launch: Almighty Zeus Wilds Link&Merge, Lucky Twins Wilds Link&Merge and 123 Soccer Link&Merge. The supplier said each title uses the Link&Merge bonus within a shared core framework that includes cluster wins, Wild Meter progression, Free Spins and Multiplier Trail functionality.

A Microgaming spokesperson said: “Link&Merge gives us a mechanic with real forward momentum. Each merge has the potential to change the shape of the feature, open up new opportunities and keep the round moving in a way that feels both familiar and fresh. By launching three games around it simultaneously, we are able to give the mechanic a much bigger stage from day one and show the range it can bring to the Microgaming portfolio.”
