Over 100 ideas generated in just 48 hours

Between 7th-9th of August Parimatch Tech hosted a two-day online Universal Sports & Games Hackathon at its state-of-the-art “PMHUB” event space. The hackathon, organized by Parimatch Tech together with JKR in partnership with Amazon and SectorX, bought together over 400 developers, marketers and designers to come up with innovative solutions in the gaming and gaming services industry.

Participants came from nine countries including Ukraine, Germany, Spain, Belarus and Poland, generating 111 ideas over 48 hours, including games, streaming tools, analytics services and various applications. 37 teams made it to the final, but only one could be crowned winner.

The Hackathon was won by “The Dragon’s team”, made up of developers Nikolay Ursatiy and Sergey Poverennov. The duo created “RunOut”, a runner platform game. They took home the first place prize of $1500.

“It is great to see people keep generating ideas, even though they can’t get together in the same room as normal. An online hackathon is a new format for us and we are pleased with the result: organizers, judges, and mentors saw many different high concept ideas being generated.” — noted Stepan Shulga, head of Esports at Parimatch.

“We are delighted with our victory. The hackathon was a great experience for us. Many teams came up with some really interesting and exciting ideas. This event gave us a chance to test our capabilities and get feedback from mentors and judges. We’re going to continue working on the game, and shortly, we will move on to negotiations with publishers.” — comments Nikolay Ursatiy, team leader of the  Dragon’s Team.

Second and third places were taken by teams “Narwhal” who came up with a service for the multification of sporting events, and “PixelGaming”, whose idea was a mobile game in the MOBA clicker genre. They received $1000 and $500 respectively.

As part of the hackathon, select teams carried out particular challenges set by the judges. The teams “Team B” and “Kodoklyaksa” were each awarded $500 for their innovative ideas. The JKR Foundation also invited team “PolyRef” to further develop their idea of a service for collecting sports statistics.

As well as the prize money, the winner and two runners-up get exclusive access to the Parimatch Tech team and its facilities. Here, together with Parimatch’s tech specialists, the participants will have the opportunity to test their ideas on an audience of thousands of people.

But the hackathon doesn’t end there. The judges took an extra week to look through all the applications one more time to advance some additional ideas. The results of this will be announced on 19th August 2020.

Belatra Introduces Big Bang 2, Igniting the Gaming Universe

Belatra, a prominent creator of inventive online slots, has turned its focus to the universe with its dynamic new slot, Big Bang 2.

Originating from the endless abyss, Big Bang 2 showcases a unique cascading system placed on an 8×8 grid. A successful combination is created when five or more matching celestial bodies align either horizontally or vertically, with every win causing a series of explosions and new symbols falling into position. Captivating imagery and a cutting-edge score enhance this celestial display.

The Black Hole is located at the center of the game and serves as a Wild symbol. It contains its own multiplier in the main game, rising by one every time it helps form a winning combination. When several Black Holes contribute to a win, their multipliers are summed and applied to the overall payout.

True Giants measuring between 2×2 and 5×5 can show up on the grid at any moment. Every one comes with a multiplier that matches its width. The larger the planet, the greater the reward. The Planet Rain ability can activate unexpectedly and changes an ordinary round into a significant occurrence by providing an immediate increase to all winning groups.

In every round, a Coin Spawn Zone triggers at three random locations. Planet detonations in this area emit Cosmic Coins worth between 1 and 100, which are consumed by the Black Hole that has the greatest multiplier on the field.

Landing three or more Black Holes on the grid activates five Free Games. Black Holes remain established until the bonus concludes, increasing in power with every cascade. The Coin Spawn Zone starts with four positions and increases by one cell after each spin, enhancing the opportunities for larger victories.

Hot Mode activates when three Black Holes land alongside a “+1” symbol. This mode has six high-intensity games with an expanding Coin Spawn Zone. Players can also choose to jump straight into the action by purchasing either the standard Bonus Games or the high-intensity Hot Mode. Whichever option they choose, the win potential in these modes is immense, reaching up to 10,000x the initial bet.

Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, said: “Big Bang 2 takes players on an unforgettable mission through deep space packed with rewarding mechanics, from merging Black Holes to expanding Coin Spawn Zones and win potential reaching 10,000x. This game is crafted for players who appreciate style, aesthetics, and the thrill of epic discoveries in the infinite expanse of gaming.”
