Eventful vacation at the Lakeside Riding Stable

In the video game the children spend their vacation at Lakeside and become part of the Horse Club clique revolving around Hannah, Sarah, Sofia and Lisa. Together they reveal long-guarded secrets, complete exciting quests, and collect objects such as photos and stickers. It goes without saying that the appearance of the player avatars and their horses can be individually customized. While doing so, even the clothing for brand-new game characters is provided that won’t become available at toy retailers until July 2021.

Carrying out quests in a targeted fashion or exploring the open-world game

The single-player game can be played optionally in the storyline or the freestyle mode. The storyline mode is split up into 16 days and has over 40 quests ready and waiting to be completed. They range from getting acquainted with Lakeside to being accepted into the Horse Club clique, all the way to participating in the big Lakeside Tournament.

In the freestyle game mode the player explores the extensive terrain on their own. Optional sidequests enable kids to immerse themselves even deeper in the story and, among other activities, attend to daily chores such as grooming horses and scraping hooves, or galloping on one of the numerous race courses while competing with others for high scores and medals. The developers have placed a special focus on the collecting of stickers, photos and new items with which players can individually change their game character and horse.

Long-lasting gaming fun, virtually and physically

Figures from Schleich have stood for quality and educationally worthwhile playing for more than 85 years. The video game from Wild River Games equally orients itself in alignment with these values. The highly diversified virtual world including numerous different quests still has surprises in store, even after playing repeated games. This ensures long-lasting gaming fun for children in a variety of age groups and with different levels of experience. What arises due to the symbiosis of video game and the original Schleich figures is a balance comprised of a digital and tactile game.

“Horse Club Adventures” is available as of May 27, 2021 for Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4, and is additionally available as digital download for Xbox One and PC.

SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with over 15 years of expertise in iGaming, supports the global Pink October initiative to attract attention to preventing breast cancer.

This year’s Pink October campaign at SOFTSWISS is themed “A Minute Today, a Future Ahead” and emphasises the importance of early detection and preventative care. Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women, and early diagnosis is key in the fight against the disease. When it is noticed early, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.

Early detection involves doing monthly breast self-exams and planning regular clinical breast exams and mammograms. Half of the 2,000 SOFTSWISS employees are women, and the company will refund each of them for ultrasounds and mammograms in October and November.

Pink October at SOFTSWISS offers a wide range of activities throughout the month. In addition to reimbursing for medical examinations, an online webinar on mental health will provide valuable insights for those who face the disease. To support the international charity movement “Butterfly Support Mission”, women from SOFTSWISS will take part in a themed race.

The company’s employees also personally support the initiative. To further raise awareness, prominent female influencers from the SOFTSWISS community share information about the campaign across social media, amplifying the message of self-care and vigilance.

“Health is a crucial value beyond everything. Here, at SOFTSWISS, we aim to help and support our employees’ well-being and health every day. By promoting the Pink October initiative, we want to stress the importance of well-timed self-care and make this issue visible both within the iGaming industry and beyond,” shares Chief Marketing Officer at SOFTSWISS, Valentina Bagniya.

Notably, the iGaming industry recognised SOFTSWISS’ strong dedication to ensuring the best working conditions for its employees. A few weeks ago, SOFTSWISS received the esteemed accolade “Employer of the Year” at the SBC Awards.

Supporting the Pink October initiative for the second year in a row, SOFTSWISS continues to lead by example, emphasising the importance of preventive health measures and community support. Through this initiative, the company hopes to inspire its employees and society to take action today for a healthier tomorrow.

Operator’s Hard Rock Bet brand to leverage Kambi’s new Odds Feed+ product, marking a significant milestone in Kambi’s modularisation strategy

Kambi Group plc (“Kambi”), the world’s trusted sports betting partner, has entered into a landmark agreement with Hard Rock Digital, one of the leading sports betting operators in the US, to deliver its new cutting-edge Odds Feed+ solution to the operator’s multi-state Hard Rock Bet brand which is available in eight US states including Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia.

The partnership will see Kambi provide Hard Rock Bet with its comprehensive suite of odds across both pre-match and live betting, with odds uniquely benefitting from the power of Kambi’s leading turnkey sportsbook, as well as Kambi’s AI trading division Tzeract. Hard Rock Bet is expected to launch with Kambi’s Odds Feed+ in Q4 2024.

Kambi’s full library of odds are delivered through a single API integration, giving operators the ability to create their own bespoke Odds Feed+ package, with the freedom to revise on demand. Hard Rock Bet will initially offer a selection of Kambi’s global sports odds, however, the flexibility of Kambi’s single API odds feed provides Hard Rock Bet the ability to add additional international or US sports as required.

As Kambi’s first major Odds Feed+ partnership, the collaboration with Hard Rock Digital marks a significant milestone in Kambi’s long-term strategy. The partnership has great potential to become a significant source of revenue for Kambi, subject to the scope of additional services taken by Hard Rock Digital over the coming years.

Werner Becher, Kambi CEO, said: “This Odds Feed+ partnership with Hard Rock Digital represents another important step forward for Kambi. The deal builds on the strategy Kambi set out 18 months ago to leverage our position as the world’s leading sportsbook provider with the offer of standalone products that uniquely benefit from our turnkey sportsbook. Hard Rock is one of the leading sportsbook operators in the US and precisely the kind of prestigious partner we were targeting as part of this modularisation approach.”

Matt Primeaux, Executive Managing Director & President of Hard Rock Digital, added: “The addition of Kambi’s odds feed will provide us with a greater range of betting options and more flexibility, while still allowing our team to maintain control of our core product. We’re excited to partner with Kambi and create more unique experiences for players on our top-rated platform.”
