FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS OF ICE, MAGELLAN ROBOTECH LANDS AT ENADA 2020
The Stanleybet Group B2B trademark hits the jackpot at the London trade show and reveals the new virtual Falcon. The next event will be at the Rimini show from 11 to 13 March
The B2B trademark Magellan Robotech’s first appearance at ICE London, the main trade fair for world-class games, held from 4 to 6 February at the London ExCel Exhibition Centre, proved a massive success for Stanleybet Group, the company that creates gaming solutions for game and virtual 3D game operators.
Hundreds of meetings were held and thousands of visitors from all over the world were entertained at the Magellan Robotech stand, especially from Europe (with Italy, Romania and Spain in first place), South America (Peru, Mexico, Colombia and Brazil above all), and Africa (various countries but with Nigeria always taking centre stage).
There were two main major attractions on the stand: the blockbuster Trident, virtual football with numerous awards nominations as best product in the sector in 2019, exhibited both in the retail and online version (desktop-mobile), and the long-awaited novelty, actually previewed at ICE, Falcon, the first virtual football in “live betting” mode In the world. The success of this new concept is guaranteed not only by the graphics, but also by the game dynamics: 25-30 minute-long games (which can be customised to the customer’s requirements), with a 5-minute interval and pre-game session; from 14 to 20 opportunities to score a goal, depending on how strong the team is.
The mechanics of the game are based entirely on real time simulation, as the software has been developed using a game development platform (Unity 3D). No video has been subjected to pre-rendering.
The artificial intelligence (AI) can be completely extended. New game situations, i.e. tactics management of attack, defence or possession of the ball can easily be added.
The system is constructed on the basis of 360 different movements for each player and can be expanded to easily support more, as they are based on motion capture technology.
Keeping in line with its philosophy of virtual games created by bookmakers for bookmakers, Magellan Robotech brought its concept for betting shops, betting corners and sports cafés within a Casino to ICE. A “wall” equipped with the entire offer: from self-service terminals to SSBT for betters’ independent gaming.
This same concept and same philosophy will soon take centre stage at Rimini too, where Magellan Robotech will be taking part in Enada 2020, scheduled from 11 to 13 March, to confirm its primary interest for the market.
Christian Maglia (CCO Magellan Robotech) stated: «We are proud of the result of Magellan Robotech’s first appearance at ICE. Our prestigious B2B trademark has now become a benchmark worldwide. Thanks to absolutely innovative, revolutionary concepts, such as ‘Trident’ and, above all, the latest virtual ‘Falcon’, the first virtual live betting in the world, previewed in London. We have raised the bar and given aficionados and consumers a product that will revolutionise our sector forever».

Evoplay rolls out Season of Legends campaign with €512,000 spring prize pool
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.”

Swintt said Azzopardi will lead product strategy, future market expansion and team development. During his interim term, the company said it released 12 titles, including three games under its Elysium Studios label.
The supplier also pointed to two partnership deals signed during the same period: NetBet adding Swintt content for Greece, and SkillOnNet taking Select, Premium and Elysium Studios games across its .com, UK and MX brands.
Looking ahead, Swintt said it plans to maintain monthly content output and pursue further growth in regulated jurisdictions. The company added that Switzerland is scheduled to be its next major market target in 2026.
Etienne Azzopardi, Managing Director at Swintt, said: “I’m delighted to have been appointed Managing Director at Swintt. Since joining the company in 2021, I’ve had a hand in everything from operational management and roadmap optimisation to market licensing and game certification, and the experience I’ve picked up in those four and a half years will prove crucial in my new role.
Having spent three months acting as Interim Managing Director, I feel very privileged to be taking the role on a permanent basis and believe this will be the catalyst for Swintt to continue its outstanding recent growth in regulated markets worldwide. With a packed product roadmap already planned for 2026, it’s going to be an amazing journey and I’m excited to continue growing the Swintt brand.”

3 Oaks Gaming adds Flexible Free Spins to its promo tools
3 Oaks Gaming has added a new bonus mechanic, Flexible Free Spins, to its promotional tools offering, the company said.
The feature allocates free spins based on a total value rather than a fixed number of spins at a set stake. Players can then select how to use the award from up to 20 options, choosing between different combinations of bet size and spin count while staying within the same budget.
3 Oaks Gaming said each option is mathematically pre-calculated to remain within the defined value. When the award is issued, players see a modal pop-up with the available choices, with the default selection set to the median option.
Anna Nozdran, Acting Product Owner at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “Flexible Free Spins deliver a fresh take on the traditional bonus setup within an online slot, providing players with greater control over their gameplay experience that suits their preferences.
“Every option is pre-calculated within the same budget, ensuring consistency for operators while offering a more dynamic experience for players. We firmly believe this new addition will complement the existing 3 Oaks Gaming portfolio and deliver greater value for our partners.”
