SYNOT DAY 2025 Attracted Record Number of Guests from Around the World

More than 400 guests from several continents and over twenty countries gathered at the Grandhotel Tatra in Velké Karlovice in the Czech Republic for SYNOT DAY 2025, the traditional business and social event. Organised by the SYNOT Group for over two decades, the long-standing event once again confirmed its growing popularity. This year, it welcomed a record number of attendees and offered a unique combination of a professional programme, product novelties and a casual atmosphere.
The event was attended by representatives of individual companies of the SYNOT Group and guests from a wide range of European countries, but also from distant markets such as Mexico and Argentina, as well as business partners operating in African markets.
“SYNOT DAY 2025 reaffirmed its importance as both a professional and social platform. We are pleased with the record attendance and the positive feedback we received. We truly appreciate that guests from many countries and continents return to us year after year. The event was also a success from a business perspective – we presented our latest products from both the land-based and online segments and held numerous discussions about future cooperation. We believe SYNOT DAY provides inspiration and an opportunity to build and strengthen relationships. We are already looking forward to the next edition,” said Miroslav Valenta Jr., Sales Director of the SYNOT Group.
Product Novelties
Among the product highlights was the introduction of the new modular cabinet ST2-32 with 32″ monitors, which had its debut earlier this year at the prestigious ICE exhibition in Barcelona. This modern cabinet was showcased as part of a setup that included a LED jackpot display alongside with one of this year’s major highlights – the exclusive Gamifire Prime game mix. This set includes a total of 36 game titles, combining classic games and popular Hold and Respin.
A great deal of attention was also drawn to the SUPER LINK jackpot systems, available in both VLT and slot versions. These were presented in UP2-32 and Eclipse FL-32 cabinets. Also on display was the MAGIC BALL LINK jackpot system, shown in combination with the ST2-32 cabinet. All three linked systems were demonstrated in visually attractive sets, complemented by the mentioned LED jackpot displays.
Fresh additions to the portfolio included the Firebird Gold and Platinum game mixes. These diverse sets feature both fruit and themed titles. Firebird Gold offers a mix of classic games and Hold and Respin titles, while Platinum combines classic games with linked titles.
Another significant product premiere was the brand-new ST3-27 cabinet, which was first introduced at the Belgrade Future Gaming exhibition at the end of May. This elegant cabinet, equipped with 27″ monitors, was presented alongside the VLT Blue Line system – a remastered version of the proven Blue Line games in full HD – as well as the current Firebird Red game mix. Firebird Red and Firebird Blue game sets were also shown in UP1-27 cabinets.
Right from the start of the event, guests could take part in a fun activity from SYNOT Games: the interactive Dream Dial Wheel of Fortune, which is one of the newest additions to their online product portfolio. Players had the chance to win attractive prizes, with the main ones including vouchers for accommodation at the Grandhotel Tatra. This activity attracted a lot of interest and contributed to the event’s friendly atmosphere.
In addition to Dream Dial, guests could explore SYNOT Games’ current offering of over 200 original online titles. The PEAK platform, an innovative retention tool allowing operators to launch targeted promotions and significantly boost player engagement, was also presented.
SYNOT Interactive introduced its comprehensive iGaming solution, including its casino aggregation platform and a wide range of other tools and products. Among the latest innovations was the in-house developed SYNNET Casino Management System, providing operators with an efficient tool for managing and optimising gaming hall and casino operations.
An Evening Full of Experiences
The evening was dedicated to informal entertainment. Guests enjoyed a barbecue on the terrace with breathtaking views, as well as live music from a saxophonist and a DJ, and a bartender fire show. The atmosphere in the hotel’s elegant premises was truly exceptional.

QTech Games and Blueprint Gaming launch Jackpot Rapid Fire

Two industry forces combine their nous and creative flair for more innovation to enhance player engagement and deliver transparency for global operators
QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for emerging markets, has rolled out an innovative new progressive jackpot system, Jackpot Rapid Fire, in conjunction with renowned slots provider Blueprint Gaming.
Jackpot Rapid Fire is a high-frequency, multi-tiered progressive jackpot mechanic designed to improve player engagement and boost operator retention. With seamless integration across a growing suite of exciting games, Jackpot Rapid Fire offers more chances for players to win, while also ensuring transparency and flexibility for operators.
The inherent ability of jackpots to drive acquisition and retention is well-established across worldwide markets. However, this breakthrough innovation now aligns QTech’s pioneering platform and machine-learning software with a suite of progressive products which deliver reliable and credible winning triggers (at 5 tiers between $200-$7,500). All of which assists in building authenticity, trust and digital dwell-time with the end user.
These jackpots are amassed by players’ contributions into the same dedicated account and shared across all participating operators under QTech Games network. When the jackpot triggers, this dedicated account is then paid out by QTech Games, which is also underwriting the Jackpot Rapid Fire system on a monthly settling-up basis.
Key Features:
-
5-tier progressive jackpot system: Mini, Minor, Major, Master, and Mega King ($200-$7,500)
-
More frequent jackpot wins maintain player excitement
-
Jackpots are randomly triggered when 5 fire symbols land on the reels, adding excitement and unpredictability
-
Live contribution and win tracking via QTech Back Office
-
Available exclusively on selected Blueprint Gaming Rapid Fire games
-
Full access across all markets
-
Product is available across both desktop and mobile channels
This game-changing, networked move from QTech Games also opens up further possibilities for both established and up-and-coming operators who can benefit from its pooled structure to pull up a chair at the progressive-jackpot table without the need for bottomless liquidity.
Intuitive back-office functionality for tracking and reporting allows partners to accurately unpack all jackpot details pertaining to contributions and payout values with platform-specific visibility (i.e. operators can only view their own data) while QTech’s unique API allows managers to effortlessly retrieve any jackpot ID, game or pools info, alongside real-time balances in any given currency. QTech Games is also delivering full marketing support – featuring assets, visuals and promotional ideas, tailored to operator campaigns.
Philip Doftvik, QTech Games’ CEO, said: “We’re excited to confirm that our new Jackpot Rapid Fire system is really turning players’ heads and keeping them coming back for repeat visits on a highly playable portfolio of dedicated titles from our friends at Blueprint Gaming. Operators large and small understand that progressive jackpots are one of the most effective marketing tools around, and now QTech and Blueprint’s unique system is taking the notional risk and administration out of jackpot provision.
“Our proprietary technology means we’re the only aggregator which is not just showcasing fantastic games but also adding engaging features (such as our AI-powered recommendation engine, alongside other Tournament and Jackpot elements) to illuminate QTech’s leadership position across emerging markets. Jackpot Rapid Fire represents just part of an innovative rewards tide that is helping to lift all boats.
“QTech Games is now so much more than just a leading aggregator, adding value and driving business at every consequential juncture. We’re confident this Jackpot Rapid Fire system will reliably boost acquisition and activity numbers for a wide variety of operators.
“It’s vital for operators and players to have that trust, and QTech’s accessible back office and dedicated Jackpot Dashboard deliver that peace of mind in spades, with a live view of jackpot balances, contributions and wins. While players also benefit from credible and regular winning jackpot triggers across a host of our participating games. It’s also important to remember that no operator participation fee is required and jackpot contributions do not impact GGR.”
