Leading online gaming software developer EvenBet Gaming has added the in-demand card game Call Break to its poker platform’s extensive library of titles.

The skill-based strategy card game has seen a huge uptick in popularity across South Asia, particularly in India and Nepal. With relatively few vendors offering Call Break, EvenBet’s new version of the game makes it ideal for operators to attract new players.

Call Break sees a 52-card deck distributed among four players who each declare the number of hands they expect to win. Each player contributes one card of the same colour suit to a hand during their turn, with the highest card winning that hand. When all cards are used, the points of each player are evaluated based on the accuracy of their calls.

Legal to play online in India, Call Break is among the skill-based card games that are booming in the country. While the whole online gaming industry is growing – with the number of online players expected to increase to 440 million in 2022 – India is considered one of the top five mobile gaming markets, with growth for online card games reaching 67% year-on-year in 2020.

Several major operators in India, including MPL, Adda52 and Faboom, as well as EvenBet’s platform customers 9stacks and PokerSaint, now have access to the game for testing and are getting ready to launch.

This marks the 35^th card game adapted by EvenBet and is now available through the company’s market-leading poker platform. The in-house developed title is one of the most sought-after online card games and is set to provide strong user engagement levels for EvenBet’s operator customers.

The release of Call Break further enhances EvenBet’s content offering, which consists of over 2000 card games, table games, slots and live games offered by its third-party partners.

Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming, said: “Call Break by EvenBet is a unique card game that can help operators attract a whole new demographic of player.

“Industry analysts believe Call Break has every chance of becoming one of the three most played skill-based games in Asia, alongside rummy and poker, so making it available through our platform is hugely important. Now that we can provide all three offerings, we expect our software to meet all Asian gaming companies’ demands; operators ready to deliver all the most popular skill-based card games will be at a notable advantage in these markets.

“As a forward-thinking developer, we are quick to respond to market trends and this is the latest example of how EvenBet helps operators to increase their user engagement rates through quality content.”

Eeze, the next-generation games provider, is set to move into its brand-new office space in the heart of Bucharest as it further scales the business at a rapid pace.

The 1,200 square metre space in the AFI Floreasca office project will serve as a major hub for both technical teams and live casino tables, making it the third key office for Eeze, alongside its Malta and London spaces.

The new office is situated in a modern business campus, with AFI Floreasca setting the benchmark for ESG compliance and energy efficiency in Bucharest.

The move further highlights the commercial progress the supplier has achieved over the last 12 months, with the Bucharest expansion following a planned major upgrade to Eeze’s Malta hub, which is well underway, and the opening of a fresh office in a landmark Hammersmith location in central London.

Lai Fatt Chiang, CEO at Eeze, said: “The commercial progress we’ve made has been reinvested in our core infrastructure, and we’re delighted to pave the way for us to move into a standout location in the heart of Bucharest’s business district.

“We have made a commitment to our staff to deliver best-in-class office space, and this latest step reinforces that, ensuring our employees can enjoy great places to work across our three hubs.”

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming rolls back the years with the release of its new publishing title Jewel Boom Super Drop. The game belongs to the #Classic category of BGaming’s portfolio, combining retro aesthetics with modern mechanics to serve up an exciting slot experience.

The game uses a simple 1×3 EZ-Reel setup inspired by one-armed bandit slot machines. It utilises a pay-on-line payout mechanic, with players securing wins when they land Coin symbols anywhere on the row.

Jewel Boom Super Drop puts a modern twist on classic gameplay thanks to the Collector symbols. These land on the middle reel and can trigger Super Spins and create multiplier boosts of up to x100. Additional multipliers can also land during the Super Spins.

Five of the game’s biggest prizes await those lucky enough to trigger the Jackpot feature. This may be triggered anytime players land a Diamond symbol. Players can win the Mini, Minor, Major, Mega, and Max Jackpots, which are worth x25, x50, x100, x200, and x1,000, respectively, by matching the same Jackpot symbols on the first and third reels. The game’s maximum win is x3,000.

The slot’s streamlined yet engaging gameplay makes it a perfect addition for operators seeking titles that deliver long sessions with minimal churn. It is rated medium-volatility and has an impressive RTP of 96.50%.

Igor Bondarenko, Product Owner of Publishing at BGaming, said, “Jewel Boom Super Drop is the perfect addition to our ever-growing #Classic gaming world, with the Collector and multiplier mechanics perfectly complementing the slot’s nostalgic vibes.

Like many of our #Classic titles, the game offers a familiar design while providing fresh, engaging features to help it stand out from similarly-themed slots.”
