FACEIT, the makers of Minerva, the first artificial intelligence powered admin, can reveal her upgraded capabilities in the fight against toxic behaviour in competitive games. Minerva can now hear and is able to understand voice messages in all languages. Detecting toxic behaviour on voice chat including verbal toxicity and mic spam.

Last year FACEIT embarked on a journey to reduce toxic behaviour in online multiplayer games by releasing Minerva, an artificial intelligence powered admin, able to detect and take action against toxic messages at infinite scale. According to surveys of FACEIT users, anti-toxicity solutions were one of the most requested features.
Since launch she has:
- Analysed more than 1.4bn chat messages
- Detected more than 1.9 million toxic messages and issues warnings
- Banned over 100k players
As a result, the FACEIT platform has seen:
- 21% fewer toxic messages sent
- 62% reduction in seriously offensive messages being sent
The first iteration of Minerva began by analysing thousands of text chat messages to detect abusive language and toxic behaviour, but there were other forms of toxicity relating to gameplay she was unable to detect including; players acting as obstacles for teammates, staying AFK, deliberate friendly fire, blocking, griefing and potential offensive and abusive language via voice channels
To detect and take action against negative behaviours in gameplay, FACEIT launched Justice, a community-driven portal, that thanks to the endless effort of many members of the community, has managed to resolve more than 60,000 cases, issuing almost 30,000 punishments since it’s launch in April.
The FACEIT community also fed back that text detection didn’t go far enough thus prompting the development in Minerva’s ability to listen. Now she is able to analyse audio sources of data and detect two different types of potential abuse: toxic verbal messages and microphone spamming.
Minerva is able to analyse full conversations among players during a match. An important aspect that makes the overall process more reliable and less prone to misleading interpretations that could come out by analyzing single and isolated messages.
In addition to detecting potential toxic voice messages Minerva is able to detect and sanction other forms of repetitive annoying user behaviours and sounds, which could worsen their teammates’ ability to concentrate and make the overall experience less enjoyable such as screaming or excessively loud music. To achieve this, Minerva reviews the audio file of the match and by applying a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) technology, she can recognise a series of negative behaviours and issue either a warning or a ban in case the player has been caught multiple times.

Free Spins increase the pace even more, as each Multiplier from a winning spin adds to a Total Multiplier that accumulates during the feature.

Players can also check out the Bonus Shop, which provides three kinds of Free Spins, featuring Mega Free Spins where improved Multipliers from x25 to x1000 can be accessed.

Kendoo, the rapidly expanding slot supplier, is raising the stakes with the debut of 3 Blitz Hits, an exhilarating 5×3 slot where lightning-infused Blitz symbols ignite rising payouts and Free Spins enhance up to three stackable modifiers.

Created for speed, energy, and quick reward cycles, 3 Blitz Hits maintains continuous momentum from the initial spin to the last hit.

Central to the game is the engaging Blitz Hit Feature. Hitting three or more Blitz symbols immediately activates increasing payouts that can soar to an impressive 1,000 times the wager.

Lightning stickers can show up on any symbol, contributing to the colored Lightning Progress bars, which increase momentum for the Free Spins round. The violet, red, and blue trails each reveal a unique modifier, allowing for one, two, or all three attributes to trigger a layered Free Spins event.

The bonus begins with seven Free Spins, which can be obtained in both the Main Game and while in Free Spins. Free Spins always start with a minimum of one active feature and may encompass two or all three simultaneously.

The Extra Feature triggers extra Free Spins symbols on the fifth reel, granting +1 spins and prolonging the gameplay. The Double Feature enlarges the grid from 5×3 to 5×6, enhancing symbol coverage and providing a larger opportunity for wins.

At the same time, the Boost Feature adds extra Blitz symbols to the reels without affecting current line wins, enhancing Blitz Hit payouts and maintaining the excitement.

For gamers wanting to accelerate their experience, the Power-Up Buy feature provides immediate entry to Free Spins with one to three randomly chosen features, or the choice to enable all three simultaneously for optimal effect.

Kate Romanenko, Commercial Director at Kendoo: “3 Blitz Hits is all about delivering pure energy and fast-paced excitement.

“The blend of instant Blitz payouts and stackable Free Spins modifiers creates a dynamic flow where every spin feels charged with opportunity. It’s a powerful evolution within our 3 Pots portfolio.”

3 Blitz Hits is now available for demo and real play across all Kendoo partner platforms.
