The leading conferences in the CEE and Baltic regions to return in 2022 to in-person gatherings, but with a new format.

The team at Hipther Agency is excited to reveal that in 2022, the in-person gatherings will return and the most talked-about conferences in the CEE & Baltic region will reign once again.

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

Participants are invited to some of the most luxurious conference rooms in Prague, Vilnius, and Budapest.

While the #hipthers conference portfolio quadrupled in 2021, the team is very much dedicated to keeping the traditions with the long-standing Prague Gaming Summit, MARE BALTICUM Gaming Summit, BSG Awards, CEEGC, and the CEEG Awards.

“We have come a long way since launching our first conference back in 2016 which already had an interesting start by being interrupted by a bomb threat. In our first year, we have received the baptism of fire and we now know that nothing can stop us! We have adapted to current times and between March 2020 and December 2021 have quadrupled the numbers of conferences hosted throughout the year. If there is one thing we’ve learned over this one and a half year, it’s that virtual and hybrid events are here to stay. So, we will continue to bring some of our conferences in virtual-only mode and some in a hybrid format. To add to the excitement, all the events are available in virtual reality on our recently built hiptherverse. Prague, Vilnius, and Budapest are some of the most popular destinations of our conferences, thus we invite you to join us next year in these awesome destinations” stated Zoltán Tűndik, Co-Founder and Head of Business at Hipther Agency.

The dates of the conferences and awards are the following:

Prague Gaming Summit – 5 April (Prague, Czechia) – Registration is open. Register here!
MARE BALTICUM Gaming Summit & BSG Awards – 12 May (Vilnius, Lithuania)
CEEGC + CEEG Awards – 27 September (Budapest, Hungary)

Numerology

Fun fact: In 2022, HIPTHER Agency is hosting 20 days of conferences and a total of 22 events. 20 days, 22 events = 2022

A new format for a new beginning

The new conference format is bringing new opportunities for quality boutique-style networking and the program is tailored to suit both the participants who are interested in the panel discussions and participants who are interested in growing their network/partner base.

The team has also added a new delegate pass starting from 2022, the Supplier Pass. This pass is dedicated to suppliers that are interested in having their company and services highlighted in front of the delegates.

Sustainable future

While recycling and reusing certain materials at the conferences are important steps towards achieving sustainability, the team is also sending a clear message about how conference organizers can directly impact the conservation of the planet’s ecosystem and biodiversity.

The events hosted by the #hipthers have always been applauded by the participants, and one of the strong points was the attention to the smallest details. Among the small details are the coffee breaks and complimentary buffet lunch.

While some might still argue, but meat-eating is one of the biggest environmental hazards facing our planet. The team has switched to fully plant-based menus in 2020 and will continue this path with the return of the in-person conference. The initiative has the full support of the venues in which the conferences are hosted and is considered to be a great idea by hotel managers who are already working on delicious plant-based meals for the delegates to enjoy in Prague, Vilnius, Berlin, Milan, and Budapest.

Hybrid time

While possible lockdowns or travel restrictions might still occur in 2022, all the conferences will also be available in the virtual format for industry professionals to be up to date with the content and starting 2022 can additionally be accessed in the hiptherverse.

MiFinity, a trusted global eWallet provider serving merchants and consumers worldwide, is deepening its presence in Asia with additional local payment options. As part of its continuous commitment to supporting the region’s surging digital economy, MiFinity has launched Rabbit Line Pay in Thailand alongside LinkAja and direct bank transfer in Indonesia, with more payment methods slated for integration throughout 2025.

MiFinity has built a strong reputation as a go-to payment provider for businesses breaking into new markets, particularly those requiring fast, secure, and fully compliant transaction solutions. With a highly engaged and rapidly growing user base, MiFinity eWallet users in Asia are actively transacting across a variety of digital services, making MiFinity a strategic partner for merchants looking to boost conversion rates, improve customer satisfaction, and strengthen trust across the region.

Commenting on this expansion, Paul Kavanagh, CEO of MiFinity, said: “Asia represents a key growth market for MiFinity, and we are committed to providing merchants with the best possible solutions to reach their customers in this region.

Supporting Asia’s Thriving Digital Economy

The digital payments market in Asia is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing smartphone penetration, rising financial inclusion, and the booming demand for digital services. According to industry research, Southeast Asia alone is home to over 350 million digital wallet users, with eWallet transactions projected to account for a growing share of online payments.

For merchants looking to expand into these high-growth markets, offering trusted, localised payment options is essential to attracting and retaining customers. By integrating Rabbit Line Pay, LinkAja, and direct bank transfers, MiFinity provides businesses with the tools they need to tap into these opportunities, delivering seamless payment experiences that align with local consumer preferences.

Continued Growth and Future Expansions

The rollout of Rabbit Line Pay, LinkAja, and Indonesian bank transfers marks the newest milestone in MiFinity’s widening footprint in Asia, with additional payment integrations scheduled for later in 2025. As appetite for digital wallet transactions and alternative payment methods accelerates, MiFinity remains committed to evolving its offerings, empowering merchants to capture new customers and deliver secure, consumer-centric payment experiences across Asia’s diverse markets.

Nolimit City explores hypotheticals in Home of the Brave

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Make Slots Great Again! Nolimit City breaks the norm once more in its latest release Home of the Brave. A slot that isn’t afraid to take a jab! No agendas here, just a whole lot of chaotic fun, spicy mechanics and unpredictable gameplay. Following the bangers like Tombstone Slaughter, Duck Hunters, Dead Dead or Deader, this slot is looking to turn some heads.

Home of the Brave turns up the heat with some funky fresh gameplay, a soundtrack that slaps and some familiar xMechanics: xNudge®, xBet®, xSplit®, xBomb® and xGod™.

xBet Variants

xBet®: Guaranteed Bonus Symbol on 2nd Reel

xBet® Deluxe: Guaranteed Bonus Symbol on 2nd Reel and a Wild Launch Button in the Conveyor Belt

The Satan Spin: Guaranteed Wild Launch Button and both Hot Sauce Reels fully filled with symbols

Unlike typical slots, which are composed of a couple of rows and reels, Home of the Brave includes a Conveyor Belt positioned above the top row and 2 Hot Sauce Reels on either side of the reel area. The Conveyor Belt feeds symbols to the left and drops them when an empty space is created on the reel area. The symbols that can fall are:

Wild Launch Button: Triggers the Hot Sauce Reels and transforms into a Wild Doughnut after dropping.

Wild Doughnut: A regular Wild Symbol.

xNudge® Wild Tower: When it drops, it gradually nudges down becoming a stacked Wild with a multiplier depending on how many symbols are present on the reel below.

Red Cap: Activates The Cap Win Machine, giving an opportunity to get additional rewards including an instant Max Win.

Trash Can: A dead symbol which never drops but allows new symbols to enter the Conveyor Belt.

Hot Sauce Reels really spice things up, as it contains symbols which are triggered when a Wild Launch Button lands on the reel area. The symbols that can be found on the Hot Sauce Reels are:

xSplit®: Splits all symbols on the row it’s on, except Bonus Symbols and Red Cap.

xBomb® Wild Multiplier: Substitutes for any symbols which removes adjacent President and Alphabet symbols and increases the multiplier by its value, except Bonus Symbols and Red Cap.

Multiplier RPG: Contains multiplier values ranging from 2x- 5x and 99x. When activated the multipliers are transferred to the wild the Wild Launch Button transformed into.

Get into the bunker when landing 3 Bonus Symbols will trigger 8 Covfefe Spins. During Covfefe Spins, both Hot Sauce Reels contain symbols on each spin and xBomb® Wild Multiplier is sticky throughout the round. Landing a ‘More Bonus’ Symbol in Covfefe Spins will award +2 Spins and upgrade any remaining Covfefe Spins into Dog Eating Spins.

Alternatively, landing 4 Bonus Symbols in the base game will trigger 10 Dog Eating Spins where both Hot Sauce Reels contain symbols and a Wild Launch Button is guaranteed in the Conveyor Belt in the beginning of each spin. If that wasn’t enough, xBomb Wild Multiplier is also sticky throughout the round.

xGod® 2 games in a row whaaaat?! The Cap Win Machine is a simple one-button game. The machine features 4 rows with multipliers on the Red Caps where Row 1 awards 30x, Row 2 awards 20x, Row 3 awards 15x and Row 4 awards 10x. If one or more caps fall down the player will collect the total multiplier multiplied by the base bet. However if the Yellow Cap falls then it will trigger a maximum payout of 61,446x the base bet.

Home of the Brave is rated as “Insanely Volatile” delivering the thrilling high-stakes gameplay that Nolimit City fans know and love.

Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “A slot that turns heads? Sign us up. This one’s a wild ride with a little bit of everything – Hot Sauce Reels, multipliers and a Conveyor Belt that just won’t quit. Home of the Brave has that Nolimit spice and we’re here for it.”

‘Home of the Brave’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on March 11th, 2025.
