Evolution Gaming, leading provider of Live Casino solutions, today announced the launch of its brand-new, exclusive Mega Ball game, the company’s first ever bouncing ball game. An entertaining live online game, Mega Ball was first unveiled at ICE 2020 in February and further extends Evolution’s exciting range of game show style games.

The uniquely entertaining Mega Ball game show features up to two Mega Ball bonus rounds in which players can multiply their winnings by up to 1,000,000x their bet! Using the familiar bingo-style random bouncing ball mechanics that players know and love, Mega Ball is a simple and engaging game designed from the ground for the widest audience of online players, many of whom may never have played Live Casino games before. Mega Ball is expected to have massive appeal, since it gives players the opportunity of big wins, while combining the best-loved elements of online bingo, lottery and slots games.

Mega Ball features a custom-built ball machine that houses 51 balls, of which 20 are randomly drawn one-by-one in each game round. Players simply sit back and watch in anticipation to see if the numbers on their cards match the balls drawn. Up to 12 lines per card are available and the more lines players make, the more money they can win. Central to the game’s theme is the drawing of a 21st ball – the much-anticipated ‘Mega Ball’ – to which RNG-based random multipliers are applied of between 5x–100x. If the player creates a line with the Mega Ball number, their winnings are multiplied accordingly.

Available on desktop, tablet and smartphone, Mega Ball joins titles such as Lightning Roulette, Deal or No Deal Live and Dream Catcher in Evolution’s growing and hugely popular Game Shows range.

Chief Product Officer at Evolution Gaming, Todd Haushalter said: “With Mega Ball we wanted to create a game that has huge prizes, drama and excitement. Bingo is a hugely popular game with lots of players and lotteries are loved the world over, so we decided to combine the two and also add a huge slot machine to create Mega Ball! I think players are going to love this game!”

As well as the live version of Mega Ball, Evolution is also adding to its growing portfolio of First Person games by launching a RNG variant of Mega Ball. First Person Mega Ball puts players in control of the game, allowing them to play at their own pace. Like all of Evolution’s First Person games, it includes the ‘Go Live’ button, which transports players through an in-game portal to the live version of the game.

DeGaming has launched a Web3 iGaming platform and appointed Ulle Skottling as CEO, with the company positioning on-chain operations as a way to improve transparency across operators, affiliates and players.

The platform’s core product pitch is its proprietary “Glass Vault” technology, which DeGaming says provides real-time proof of funds and independently verifiable visibility of balances, transactions, and payouts.

DeGaming is also offering “Bankroll as a service,” routing transactions through its on-chain transaction engine to provide operators access to scalable liquidity for withdrawals and platform stability. The company said this is designed to reduce friction for operators trying to scale, while giving players visibility into the funds available on the platform.

The supplier said its unified platform combines game access, player account management (PAM) and reporting in a single blockchain-native operational engine. DeGaming added that operators can launch a customisable casino or sportsbook in “as little as two weeks,” including crypto and fiat deposits, automated payouts and a back-office.

Skottling joins as CEO to lead what DeGaming called its next phase. He has held senior roles at RAW iGaming, Videoslots and NetEnt. Skottling said: “The industry has evolved rapidly, but transparency and trust have not kept pace. It runs on what you can’t see, whereas we have built a platform that you can. We are challenging the model and defining the new standard for gaming infrastructure.

“Our Glass Vault technology gives operators, affiliates and players independently verifiable visibility into platform activity and funds in real time. The future of gaming will be built on openness, accountability and infrastructure that all participants genuinely trust.”

Emil Ahmed, co-founder of DeGaming, added: “Appointing Ulle as CEO is an important step in DeGaming’s next phase. We have built the platform around a clear belief that gaming needs more transparency, stronger infrastructure, and greater operational trust. Ulle brings the industry experience, commercial understanding, and leadership needed to take that vision to market and help operators launch with confidence.”

Since Century Casinos’ acquisition of the Missouri properties in 2019, Mr. Randolph has served as Vice President of Operations for both Missouri casino properties.
