The virtual draw-based betting games have been steadily thriving for years, and recently there has been a significant resurgence of bingo in online markets. 

The exciting bingo-style games with colorful, eye-catching graphics also feature a host of bonuses and extra chances to win, thus the player’s favorite. 

NSoft has its share of enchanting the players worldwide with our virtual draw-based betting games. With simple yet immersive gameplay challenges, our top 3 virtual draw-based betting games include Lucky Six, Roulette, and Spin and Win.


Bingo Type Games offer a Powerful Revenue-Generating Model

Fast-paced entertainment in virtual form brings bingo and lottery games to players every few minutes. The ability to enjoy the draws more than 280 times each day, combined with an excellent user interface, has proved to be a massive success with players and a revenue-generating model for our customers.

NSoft brings an omnichannel experience as our products are available on various channels, devices, and operating systems. Customers choose the delivery channel depending on their needs – land-based or online.

The action of virtual number games is based on the results produced by a random number generator (RNG). Approved testing laboratory for online gaming systems, iTech has confirmed that our games are statistically random and unpredictable. Thus the results cannot be influenced or adjusted.

 

Lucky Six – millions of tickets daily across 40+ countries

Our draw-based, bingo-style game Lucky Six recently celebrated its 12th birthday. It was our firstborn game and a solid foundation for soon becoming a successful business in the gaming industry on a global level. Everybody loves Lucky Six – millions of tickets are played daily across 42+ countries with our clients. 

Since the V1, the game was simple, neat, running on any device, with good (configurable) RTP. The RNG-driven entertainment soon became a must-have for any betting shop. And yes, it was first made for bet shops.

Through NSoft’s years of experience in the iGaming market, with our partners, and 150 betting and gaming operators from 42 countries, we have gathered invaluable information from the players. Lucky Six’s secret – the players, helped us polish it! 

Now we know what it takes to boost player engagement and retention levels. The game was renewed with visual enhancement, better performances, new bonus games, simpler UX, richer statistics, sound effects, etc.

How to play Lucky Six?

A total of 48 numbers are divided into eight groups. Every group has its color so that the player will find red, green, blue, purple, brown, yellow, orange, and black colored balls with numbers. In the hope of choosing the Lucky Six winning numbers, the player chooses six to ten numbers, and 35 out of 48 numbers will be drawn from the drum. To win the draw, the player has to guess six numbers correctly.

 

The global success of Lucky Six

Globally, the game is offered across 9,000+ bet shops and 4,800 terminals (28% increase YoY). The number of punters playing Lucky Six online reached impressive figures and held to it during 2020 and 2021. 

As a result, the reporting period recorded 14% more tickets and almost 20% turnover (total turnover 2021 vs. 2020 in %).

To boost the game for the online channel, the NSoft team has created a Lightning Lucky Six – an even faster version of the original game. Another novelty in our growing Casino portfolio is a spin version of Lucky Six. The game is called Slingshot 6 and proudly represents the latest upgrade of our classic.

Slingshot 6 is a casino game for the online channel. It is a spin game based on bingo which brings diversity into inevitable video slots category and ultra-popular crash categories.

 

Roulette – the simplicity of this game attracts millions of players 

The game of Roulette is one of those games that has barely changed over the centuries. It is often mentioned in mainstream media and movies, with references connecting it to luxurious casino resorts and lavish parties. 

James Bond, 007, was a big roulette player in Ian Fleming’s original books, and his favourite number was 17.

If you visit any brick-and-mortar casino, you can see the crowd of people around the roulette table cheering every spin of the wheel. The game provides a unique excitement that is hard to surpass in other fast games. 

Online Roulette has quickly gained popularity and is preferred over slots, blackjack, poker, and other casino games. Online casinos don’t have the same overhead expenditure as land-based casinos so they can offer better and higher payouts to players. Also, online casinos offer a variety of attractive bonuses and incentives to attract new players and increase overall retention. 

Roulette is a fast-paced game of chance; players don’t need skills or experience to win this game.

European Roulette features a black and red colored wheel with numbers ranging from 0-36. It has one zero-number pocket, its most distinctive feature.

There are differences between European and American Roulette; thus, they differ in one way. It has an extra slot: Double Zero. Instead of 37, it has 38 slots — numbers 1 to 36, 0, and 00. The presence of an additional slot means American roulette has a higher house edge than European roulette.

Generally, we recommend our clients to use American Roulette in their retail business. Web and terminal businesses can opt for the one that suits their company or players more. Having both versions is also an option.

What are the advantages of NSoft Roulette?

NSoft’s Roulette is a fast-paced modular and engaging game that brings an entirely new experience to players. It is an appealing product, available and running smoothly on all channels. The game features a smooth and intuitive UX/UIX, easy to use for operators in bet shops and players on all channels.

It is a must-have product for our clients with the biggest RTP that simultaneously covers both virtual games and casino categories. 

The game is round-based, meaning that all players play together in a single round, and features colourful visuals and eye-catching graphics. A customizable appearance enables a better product experience and generates revenue.

We are constantly working on improving Roulette on all channels by keeping in mind the feedback of our players and clients. Therefore our in-house Casino team once more showed enviable creativity by developing the Lightning Roulette game, as the name suggests, as fast as lightning and round-based.

 

Spin and Win – a high-speed and highly customizable modern take on Roulette

Anybody who has played our Roulette will enjoy it, even more, the gameplay and bonus options that NSoft’s Spin and Win offers. 

Spin and Win was made exclusively for land-based betting businesses, and indeed, it is one of the best spin games in retail. The use of the newest technologies has enabled our Casino team with vast possibilities for development on various devices, even those with lower performance levels. The game is enriched with colorful visuals and eye-catching graphics. A completely customizable appearance according to market specifics and clients’ wishes enables a better product experience and creates revenue increases.

The visualization shows the paytable, the wheel, and the statistic in the stunning color palette. Visual presentation of the game plays a significant role when we talk about engagement.  The wheel is always centered and visible whether the round has begun and marked with numbers ranging from 0 to 36. If the countdown for the next round is in progress, available markets on the pay table are highlighted from top to bottom, one by one, approximately every 3 seconds.

The game offers four markets: Straight up, Dozens (1, 2, 3), Odd/Even, and Red/Black.

The statistic displays the most and least drawn five numbers together with the ten latest results.

Movers and Shakers: The blueprint for boutique studios looking to crack America

Published

“Movers and Shakers” is a dynamic monthly column dedicated to exploring the latest trends, developments, and influential voices in the iGaming industry. Powered by GameOn and supported by HIPTHER, this op-ed series delves into the key players, emerging technologies, and regulatory changes shaping the future of online gaming. Each month, industry experts offer their insights and perspectives, providing readers with in-depth analysis and thought-provoking commentary on what’s driving the iGaming world forward. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the scene, “Movers and Shakers” is your go-to source for staying ahead in the rapidly evolving iGaming landscape. 

Charles Mott, Founder and CEO of S Gaming, says finding success in the US is a tough task, but that studios who can replicate the magic of the casino floor have what it takes to make it stateside

 

There are plenty of European studios that have set their sights on finding success in the US, but very few have actually managed to achieve it. This is because they are making a common mistake, and that’s failing to translate the preferences of US slot players into their games.

For more than a decade now, the UK and European markets have been defined by “the chase” – high volatility slots with massive, infrequent max wins and jackpots that deliver anticipation and thrills, but that also exhaust the player’s balance in minutes.

But if you walk on to the floor of any Las Vegas casino, the atmosphere is different. It’s about “time at machine”. It’s the neon, the regular dopamine hits of smaller wins and the ability to make $100 provide an entire evening’s worth of entertainment.

As the US market increasingly moves to online, with more states embracing regulated iGaming, it’s no longer finding its feet with players now actively looking for a digital version of the land-based soul they have loved for many years.

Moving away from the “big win” to the “long session”

US players have been culturally conditioned by the physical casino experience. Unlike the high-stakes digital environment of Europe, the American player often views slots as a leisure activity rather than a jackpot hunt.

This is why S Gaming has focused on fun, entertainment and sustainability, with our games matching the “steady tortoise” cadence of land-based slot machines. They still deliver lots of big win potential, but across longer and more engaging sessions.

For operators like BetMGM and Fanatics, both of which we’ve recently partnered with, it’s not just about fun, it’s about retention.

A player who loses their balance in three minutes is a churn risk, but a player who wins small, frequent prizes stays in the ecosystem for longer and ultimately generates a much higher lifetime value.

Efficiency over ego

But it’s not just about having the right games, distribution is also key to cracking America. This is a notoriously difficult market because it’s not one jurisdiction, it’s five (and counting) regulatory islands and in each, you need to secure regulatory approvals.

This is actually a moat that keeps many smaller studios out. It’s an issue we had to overcome, and ultimately looked for a partner that could help us bridge the gap. Our agreement with Gaming Realms allows us to use its remote game server and licences to launch into US states.

This “Infrastructure-as-a-Service” model allows a studio to focus on “game grammar” (math and art) while the partner handles the “plumbing” (compliance and connectivity). It’s the leanest way to hit the ground running with a tier-one operator across multiple states simultaneously.

Why tier ones are buying in

You might be wondering why a tier one giant like BetMGM has joined forces with a boutique UK studio and facilitated its launch into the US.

But the reality is that operators are fighting soaring acquisition costs right now and this means they no longer want more games, they want differentiated games that reduce churn and keep players coming back for more.

Our focus on sustainable entertainment aligns with current US regulatory requirements and the focus on responsible gaming. Games designed for longer, lower stakes sessions are inherently “safer” and more palatable to regulators and risk-averse operators alike.

And they just hit the mark more with players. Sure, winning is a big part of playing online slots, but how you get to the win and the perceived entertainment value is now just as if not more so important – not just in the US but in the UK and Europe, too.

The data-driven evolution

Success does not come from a single launch – it comes from having a feedback loop. We now have a handful of games live in the US market, including our flagship Triple 7 Jackpot title, from which we are gathering real-time data on player behaviour.

This is allowing us to move from “what we think players want” to “what the data tells us they love” and this in turn is allowing us to refine our product roadmap and the games we are producing for the US market, ensuring each title is more culturally resonant than the last.

The new era of transatlantic growth

Cracking America in 2026 isn’t about having the loudest brand of the biggest marketing budget – it’s about understanding the psychology of the casino floor.

The studio’s that succeed will be those that realise the US player isn’t looking for a new way to gamble, they’re looking for a digital version of the “Vegas” feeling they’ve known and loved for decades.

When Africa gambles: seasonality patterns across five countries revealed by Blask

Published

when-africa-gambles:-seasonality-patterns-across-five-countries-revealed-by-blask

When Africa Gambles: Seasonality Patterns Across Five Markets Revealed by Blask , Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Egypt operate under diverse regulatory regimes and follow different domestic sports calendars — Egypt also observes a Friday–Saturday weekend. Yet, across these markets, gambling activity exhibits a shared rhythm: engagement climbs into Q4 and remains elevated through the year-end, with softer periods either mid-year (Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, DR Congo) or late winter (Egypt). Peaks broadly coincide with the European club season, while in some markets domestic leagues run in parallel.

Blask’s Seasonality feature, drawing on data from January 2016 to February 2026, allows mapping engagement by month, day, and hour, revealing nuanced patterns in each market:

Nigeria: The Long Saturday

  • Annual curve accelerates into Q4: October is the top month, followed closely by September, November, and December. June marks the low point, with a modest rebound in July before the late-summer climb.

  • Weekly cycle is weekend-led: Saturday dominates, Sunday and Friday show smaller peaks, weekdays are quieter.

  • Hourly pattern forms a broad plateau on Saturday, with elevated activity from early morning to late evening (5am–9pm Lagos time). Weekday engagement is lower, concentrating in the late afternoon and evening.

Tanzania: Saturday as a Corridor

  • Annual rhythm mirrors Nigeria: softening in June–July, rising from August into a Q4 plateau. Top months are November–December, with October close behind.

  • Weekly cycle hierarchy is clearer: Saturday is strongest, Sunday elevated but lower, Friday leads weekday peaks.

  • Saturday functions as a corridor rather than a sharp spike: activity stays high from 7am–11pm Dar es Salaam time, peaking mid-afternoon to early evening (3pm–7pm). Weekday activity tilts toward evening post-work.

Kenya: Two Clocks in One Market

  • Annual curve rises from August into Q4, with December at the peak, October and November following. Low points in June–July.

  • Weekly peaks favor the weekend: Saturday #1, Sunday #2.

  • Hourly pattern shows dual peaks: a primary late-afternoon to evening spike (3pm–9pm Nairobi time) and a secondary pre-dawn rise (3am–7am), particularly visible on weekends.

DR Congo: The Morning Market

  • January remains unusually strong alongside December, which is the top month.

  • Weekly cycle follows the familiar weekend pattern: Saturday leads, weekend days generally brighter.

  • Hourly peak occurs in the morning, roughly 5am–9am Kinshasa time, shifting an hour later in eastern regions. Weekdays maintain the morning lift, with Saturday adding extra intensity.

Egypt: Friday Leadership and After-Midnight Play

  • Annual curve climbs steadily to year-end: December tops, followed by November and October. Softest periods are February and March.

  • Weekly cycle differs: Friday peaks, Thursday and Saturday slightly behind, reflecting Egypt’s Friday–Saturday weekend.

  • Nighttime engagement is strongest in the group, concentrating after midnight (2am–5am Cairo time), consistently across all days of the week.

The Bigger Picture

  • Q4 is peak season across all five markets. Nigeria peaks earliest (October), while Tanzania, Kenya, DR Congo, and Egypt maintain high engagement through November–December. Four markets soften mid-year, Egypt peaks late winter.

  • Weekend structures explain weekly splits: Saturday for Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, DR Congo; Friday for Egypt.

  • Hourly patterns diverge: Nigeria and Tanzania show broad Saturday blocks, Kenya focuses on prime time with pre-dawn tails, DR Congo peaks in the morning, Egypt peaks after midnight. Cross-market scheduling without these insights risks missing most demand.
