OKTO.WALLET meets pubgoers demands for secure, cashless, mobile payments across the UK

Regal, a subsidiary of the Merkur Group UK and a leading UK supplier of amusement equipment to the leisure sector, will accept cashless payments directly onto its gaming machines via OKTO.WALLET.

Users of the OKTO.WALLET mobile app are able to deposit and withdraw funds safely, securely and seamlessly directly onto any collaborating gaming machines in the UK leisure sector. The OKTO.WALLET is a fully licensed payment service, reducing payment friction, enhancing customer experience, and focusing on responsible gambling and player protection.

The joint offering is ready to give Britain’s Pubs sector a much needed post-lockdown boost, by introducing a fully cashless experience tailored to the gaming industry and its players’ demands, increasing customer engagement and footfall. Pubgoers can embark on this digital journey by downloading for free the OKTO app from the App Store and Google Play and creating an account in just a few minutes. The OKTO app enables users to move their funds instantly across the entire payment ecosystem; from the gaming machine, the pub’s ordering app, the bartop cashier, all the way out to any retail or online business accepting OKTO Prepaid Mastercard®, linked to the OKTO wallet account.

OKTO’s mobile-first solution has easily integrated into Regal’s gaming machines without the need for any additional hardware or upfront costs, securing a level playing field in the retail gaming sector with the rest of the UK high street economy.

OKTO, in line with all major levels of responsible gaming and the latest callings of the UKGC, puts control directly in the hands of the user with powerful age verification, gaming limits and time-out periods tools, as well as with problem gambling helplines available within the app.

OKTO.WALLET is available at selected pubs with further locations being added in the coming weeks and months. Given strong customer demand and amidst the COVID-19 situation, OKTO continues to expand its UK wallet through its partnership with Regal. Pubgoers using Regal’s gaming machines are able to take advantage of a secure, universal and cashless payment method as it rolls out across the Regal network.

Simon Dorsen, Director of Gaming at OKTO, said: “Britain is moving beyond ‘peak cash’ this year, as the country has well and truly embraced a cashless society due to its convenience and ease. The Pub and Gaming sectors are able to address the users’ need with a flexible and cashless solution, thanks to our collaboration with Regal.

We designed a turn-key solution for the market that enables consumers to use a complete, digital, cashless solution, not only directly on gaming machines but also across the entire payment ecosystem. Providing them with a single payment app, users have the freedom to use their OKTO.WALLET anywhere, whether it’s pubs, AGC, Casinos or high street shops.”

Matt Bicknell, Managing Director Operations and Product at Regal, added: “Through our collaboration with OKTO, we found both a digital, instant and cashless solution to meet our customers demand and the flexible, market-proven technology that enabled us to easily adopt it in our gaming machines. The launch is the result of extensive research and co-development between our companies, and we are working actively on rolling it out to our client base in the UK.”

SCCG Management, a global advisory firm specializing in gaming, sports betting, iGaming, and emerging gaming technologies, today announced a strategic partnership with Slot Check, Inc., a real-time slot performance intelligence platform delivering actionable machine-level insights directly to players and operators.

Through this partnership, SCCG will provide global business development, advisory support, and strategic distribution services to accelerate adoption of the Slot Check platform across commercial and tribal gaming markets. SCCG will facilitate introductions to casino operators, loyalty platforms, and strategic technology partners within its global network to support commercial deployment, integration opportunities, and long-term market expansion.

Slot Check delivers real-time slot performance analytics at the individual machine level, empowering users with detailed insights including Return to Player (RTP), Payout to Player (POP), win-per-spin metrics, jackpot performance, volatility profiles, machine trends, and multi-timeframe data ranging from hourly performance to 30-day analytics and since-last-jackpot reporting. It’s sports analytics for slots. The platform enables players to sort, filter, rank, and track every machine on a casino floor while also tagging favorite slots and monitoring personal play history. The player engagement Slot Check creates increases visits, coin in, and actual win – and every other KPI in between.

Designed as a progressive website application for seamless deployment, Slot Check provides casinos with a player engagement tool that enhances transparency, increases time-on-device, and supports loyalty-driven gamification initiatives. The platform can integrate within existing loyalty environments, positioning it as a force multiplier for casinos seeking to modernize the slot floor experience without requiring native app distribution.

“The slot floor remains the financial engine of the casino, yet player-facing innovation has historically lagged behind other verticals,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “Slot Check introduces a powerful layer of transparency, engagement, and data intelligence that aligns with the modern player’s expectations. Through our global operator relationships and distribution platform, we’re excited to help position Slot Check as a leading innovation partner across commercial and tribal gaming enterprises.”

In addition to global business development, the partnership includes a coordinated marketing and lead generation strategy leveraging SCCG’s media assets, newsletters, and sales channels. Slot Check will receive ongoing brand visibility across SCCG’s weekly newsletter reaching more than 33,000 global gaming executives, as well as inclusion in targeted articles, outreach campaigns, and technology innovation discussions designed to expand awareness and drive enterprise adoption.

Slot Check’s platform introduces a new dimension of slot floor intelligence by presenting ranked lists of performance insights, leaderboards, trend tracking, and advanced machine analytics that empower both players and operators. By combining detailed performance transparency with loyalty-linked engagement potential, the solution supports casinos seeking measurable lift in slot engagement, targeted promotional strategies, and enhanced guest retention.

“Slot Check has truly flipped the script and the results for those casinos bold enough to engage with us is INCREDIBLE!” states Grant Stousland, Founder & CEO, Slot Check, Inc. “We are excited to partner with SCCG’s global distribution network as they help us scale to the next phase of our platform’s growth.”

As the gaming industry continues to evolve toward data-driven personalization and digital engagement, the partnership between SCCG and Slot Check represents a strategic alignment between real-time performance analytics and a global advisory platform capable of accelerating enterprise adoption across diverse gaming markets.
