International Game Technology PLC announced that its cashless gaming technology is propelling the new era of gaming at Svenska Spel venues throughout Sweden. Through IGT’s INTELLIGEN technology, Svenska Spel players now have the option to easily and securely fund their play at Video Lottery Terminals (“VLTs”) from their mobile devices.

Svenska Spel’s recent launch of IGT’s INTELLIGEN VLT system and Quasar® VLTs enables players to use their mobile device to register for and log into VLTs by integrating with their individual, nationally available Digital BankID, paving the way for cashless gaming with the addition of IGTPay.

Now, with the deployment of IGTPay, players who are logged onto a Svenska Spel VLT are presented with the option to draw funds directly from their bank account through Swish, a widely used mobile payment service in Sweden that is owned by the banks. Players simply approve the transfer via their mobile device and start playing their favorite VLT games. This end-to-end process takes just seconds. Following completion of gameplay, Svenska Spel can return any available funds directly back to the player’s bank account automatically and instantaneously for a very progressive retail experience.

“Launching IGT’s cashless product provides our players with a reliable, cutting-edge cashless solution that connects directly with the Swish mobile app, helping us drive efficiencies while responsibly advancing the player experience,” said Magnus Lannersund, Director of VLT Operations, Svenska Spel AB. “IGT has been instrumental in our enterprise-wide modernization with solutions such as the Quasar VLT, the INTELLIGEN central system, our responsible gaming functions and now through their next-generation IGTPay cashless technology. This retail project was among the first of its kind in Sweden, enabling a retail business owner to return funds to a consumer’s bank account via a consumer’s mobile app. Svenska Spel is proud to be at the forefront of retail innovation especially when the need for cashless options for the post-COVID-19 era is more crucial than ever.”

“Svenska Spel is at the forefront of innovation with IGT’s cashless gaming solution. This groundbreaking technology introduces a contemporary consumer experience to land-based gaming in one of the most progressive societies in the world,” said Declan Harkin, IGT Senior Vice President and COO, International. “The combination of IGT’s INTELLIGEN and IGTPay products builds upon our payment expertise in the digital gaming and lottery segments to create a solution that enables players to enjoy the convenience and security of cashless gaming in retail.”

“As the relevance of cashless and contactless gaming innovations continues to grow, technologies such as IGT INTELLIGEN with IGTPay become critical components of the player experience, and solutions that can bring tremendous value to our global customers,” said Ryan Reddy, IGT Vice President, Systems and Payments Products. “We have established a dedicated Payments Team to ensure that customers such as Svenska Spel are equipped with IGT solutions and services that deliver modern payment options that align with consumer expectations and future business opportunities.”

IGT has been a Svenska Spel supplier of VLT technology since 2006. The Swedish state-owned gaming operator currently operates 4,750 IGT VLTs in gaming venues throughout the country, leverages the INTELLIGEN central system, and utilizes a vast range of IGT game content.

EveryMatrix platform technology has been selected by tier-1 operator Danske Licens Spil to power its casino and bingo in a long-term partnership.

This includes EveryMatrix’s proven gamification and engagement tools enabling the brand to offer its customers richer, more engaging experiences while increasing acquisition and retention levels.

The partnership marks the tier-1 supplier’s most significant casino platform deal of this year and another large-scale state-owned operator signing a long-term technology agreement, cementing EveryMatrix’s place as one of the world’s most trusted and valuable iGaming platform providers.

It has delivered and won its largest tier-1 platform deals and generated record-breaking growth and profitability for both the business and its customers via its turnkey platform offering with casino, sports betting and technologies at the heart of its success.

Ebbe Groes, Group CEO & Co-Founder, EveryMatrix, said: “To earn the confidence of the Danske Licens Spil’s management team to deliver this project and replace their existing platform technology for the first time since Denmark regulated in 2012 is a huge endorsement. I’d like to personally thank them for the trust they’ve placed in EveryMatrix.

“The rate at which we’re winning and delivering large, tier-1 turnkey platform deals to power some of the world’s best-known brands is rapidly accelerating. This is thanks to the tireless efforts of our experts and the superior technology solutions they design and deploy.”

Relax Gaming, the iGaming aggregator and supplier of award-winning content, is diving to the ocean floor for Treasure Tumble Dream Drop, an 8×8 cluster-pays adventure in the hit Tumble series starring fearless explorer Scarlett Spinz.

Momentum is everything as position multipliers build, cluster wins cascade and a suite of blocker-busting power-ups keeps the action flowing, with a maximum win potential of 10,000x.

Base gameplay brims with features that clear the path to treasure. Radial Bombs and Vertical Bombs carve through blockers, while a Mega Bomb wipes them all. Dream Drop Wilds begin at 1x or 2x and grow whenever they tumble onto multipliers, Wild Blast fires extra Wilds onto the grid, and Symbol Trade converts symbols into another type to aid wins.

Three routes lead below deck to the Galleon Bonus, land three Bonus symbols, detonate the Mega Bomb, or clear every blocker. Players get eight Bonus Spins with no blockers and persistent position multipliers that can grow as high as 1,024x.

Before entry, Bonus symbols can transform into Compass Wilds that travel with you, with up to three carried into the feature and shifting after every spin, win or tumble. When the frame turns gold, the Super Galleon Bonus begins instead, carrying all existing position multipliers into the round, keeping them from resetting.

Tony O’Mahony, Chief Product Officer at Relax Gaming, said: “Treasure Tumble Dream Drop is shaping up to be one of our most powerful releases yet. It combines the thrill of the Dream Drop jackpot with immersive bonus features and the excitement of Relax’s tumble mechanics that players love.

“Early feedback from streamers and partners has been exceptional – even those who typically don’t gravitate to jackpot titles are calling this one a standout. We believe Treasure Tumble DD will set a new benchmark for engagement and excitement in the market.”
