BetGames.TV goes all in with new game 6+ Poker
BetGames.TV is a unique, innovative and pioneering live dealer betting games supplier. The live broadcast business model provides games that are distinctive, unique and fresh. The Company continuously seeks to create, adapt and revolutionise their product range – with their latest game Poker6+ set to take the market by storm.
The concept of 6+ Poker is based on a variation of the wildly popular standard Poker ‘Hold Em’ version. The standard rules of Poker have been tweaked for absolute user interaction and encapsulates an individual look, feel and gameplay.
“BetGames.TV constantly aims for pleasing the palate of our end-users and consumers as well as increase productivity and gameplay for our clients … and Poker6+ is a new game that brings out all the best elements of Poker and increases interactivity and creates an immersive experience,” says company COO Aiste Garneviciene.
The name of the game, 6+ POKER, shows that each draw consists of a 36-deck card, with the lowest card number being a six. The interesting, inventive and unique dynamic will provide a new experience, and will create a deeper love for the game.
This alternate version allows for consumers to land more hands and feel immersed in the game. The action offers a feeling of a one-on-one experience – with the end-user having a choice to place a bet on their hand, other players at the table’s hand or the dealer’s hand.
The game is both subtly and radically different from a traditional poker hand, with a 36-card deck producing big hands more often, and the one-on-one experience with our dealers creates a cosy atmosphere while also offering amazing outcome-based opportunities. The game brings about an increased chance of winning and a radical approach that sees a shake-up in winning hands and boasts sensational outcome-based odds and wins.
The format of Poker6+ allows the player an increased mathematical probability of winning on a straight, full house and three of a kind, and with only cards 6 upwards featuring the vibe is fast-paced and produces a euphoric and winning feeling in the minds and hearts of the consumer.
“The alterations to our outcomes show a flush beat a full house and a three of a kind beat a straight, and it is just this kind of pulsating new energy and interaction that will see Poker6+ become a success.
“The modern consumer is often stuck with a staid Poker environment, with a sameness look, feel and gameplay, but with innovation and a unique approach to pleasing our consumer BetGames.TV will never settle for mediocrity,” the excited COO explains.
Company CCO Richard Hogg is equally thrilled at the prospect of the new game taking the market by storm and explains that in the industry of iGaming, a company must always look to create new win-opportunities for stakeholders.
“The game is based on creating a feeling of winning big especially with 36 cards in the deck and non-stop action.
“There are also highly competitive odds and win-chances,” he adds.
Nobody knows what the future may hold when it comes to the iGaming sector, but one thing is certain … the online game industry is always changing and a woke company must consistently keep track with the latest developments.
“We love to invent, re-invent, adapt and be part of the iGaming revolution” concludes Garneviciene.
CogniPlay has launched its new software product, which aims to provide a robust online sweepstakes or social gaming platform to its clients. The system is designed to be modular, allowing customers to tailor their brand and offering to what they believe will give them optimal performance.
The CogniPlay system has several key integrations which help to deliver the product, including games integrations with the likes of Pragmatic Play, BetSoft, Mascot Gaming and many more, giving them 100s of games for their clients. There are other integration options for their customers to pick from too, including affiliate programme software, CRM platforms and associated products, KYC, ID verification, Geo-IP systems, Gamification and customer support.
They also have a very long and extensive development pipeline which will see the product offering develop at pace, giving clients an extensive list of options and USPs, and of course giving players a great user experience as a result.
As well as the platform itself the CogniPlay team, due to their considerable experience, also offer a whole host of managed services, with almost a menu that clients can choose from to fill any gaps in their own skillsets or experience.
CogniPlay’s Chief Executive Officer Allan Turner said: “We are very proud to take the CogniPlay product to market and are excited that people who want to start a new social or sweeps brand can get in touch with us to see what we can do for them, or in fact established brands that are unhappy with their existing provider.
“Our underlying principles are that we want to provide the most flexible platform in the space, to enable our clients to create the product they want to have, not for us to dictate the product to them. The two other main areas of focus are that we want to be the most future-proof product on the market with plans for any regulatory or legal changes that may arise in the future, and that we have all the right safeguards in place to ensure that we look after both our clients and players with our responsible gaming setup. This of course means having the right tech and processes in the key areas of KYC, Geo-IP tech, anti-money laundering, fraud, risk assessment and ID verification.”

The Mirage Hotel & Casino to Begin Transformation into Hard Rock Las Vegas on July 17, 2024
Hard Rock International (HRI) announced its plans to cease operations of The Mirage Hotel & Casino as of July 17, 2024, to begin the transformation of the property into the highly anticipated Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Guitar Hotel Las Vegas (HRHCLV).
Hard Rock will develop a new integrated resort featuring a nearly 700 ft. guitar-shaped hotel towering prominently in the center of the famous Las Vegas Strip.
“We’d like to thank the Las Vegas community and team members for warmly welcoming Hard Rock after enjoying 34 years at The Mirage. We’d also like to thank the Unions, community leaders, local and state government organizations and the Gaming Commission for their support and fair negotiations over the past year. Also, we are grateful to MGM for assisting with our transition,” Jim Allen, Chairman of Hard Rock International, said.
“While we pause for the incredible transformation of this iconic property, I’d like to thank all team members at The Mirage for their incredible commitment and helping us provide memorable experiences for our guests. We are planning to host collaborative hiring events with other employers in the Las Vegas community over the coming months. Connecting the thousands of talented Mirage team members who provide outstanding service with new employment opportunities is a top priority,” Joe Lupo, President of The Mirage, said.
HRHCLV is expected to double the current number of jobs at The Mirage for the Las Vegas community, while the renovation of the property will generate over 2500 construction jobs. Hard Rock will pay approximately $80 million in severance packages for eligible union and non-union employees remaining with the property through cessation of operations.
