In less than eight months OKTO has secured partnership agreements with a host of UK-based brands including Regal, Inspired, Bob Rudd, MERKUR Bingo and MERKUR Slots. 2022 will see it continue to engage with the domestic industry starting with a debut appearance at the UK’s flagship show – EAG.

Simon Dorsen, Chief Commercial Officer at OKTO, confirmed the brand’s business development strategy: “We have been involved in an intensive programme of meetings, product demonstrations and productive senior C-level discussions with a wide range of UK game creators, operators and retailers across the Single Site, AGC, Casino and Bingo sectors. The response has been phenomenal; even as visitors to ACOS we were able to connect with key figures from the industry all of whom have been impressed at how the OKTO solution enables consumers to deposit and withdraw funds on gaming machines in a safe, seamless and secure way using a licensed, omni-channel, open-loop mobile payment app.”

He added: “Operators are taking a progressive and integrated approach to the retailing of entertainment, and the OKTO cashless app enables winnings from gaming machines to be circulated through the business notably F&B. Modern consumers value freedom and choice and the OKTO solution enables them to spend their winnings at any other location where Mastercard payments are allowed using OKTO’s Mastercard which is linked to the OKTO account. On so many levels the OKTO digital wallet delivers the optimum digitalised customer journey.”

Dorsen, who has 16 years’ experience in both the gaming and payment sectors holding senior roles with GTECH and IGT where he established the company’s first omni-channel sales team, believes in the importance and value of championing safer gambling. “Every gaming regulator places social responsibility and protecting the small proportion of problem gamblers at the very top of the organisational agenda” he stated. “We believe in the fundamentals of safer gambling which is why the app has been designed to deliver a safer gambling tool-box including a profit and loss calculator, age verification, time-out periods, the ability to set gaming limits as well as access to helplines for problem gambling.”

“At EAG we will be bringing all of the energy, the drive and the vision that’s synonymous with the brand in order to achieve our key objective to be the architects of digitalisation in what is arguably Europe’s most important entertainment, leisure and gaming markets”

Members of the OKTO senior leadership team, including Chief Commercial Officer Simon Dorsen, will be present at EAG on the OKTO stand 295.

Title pairs advanced Cashingo™ experience with ULTRA Link&Win™ enhancements

Games Global, together with its exclusive studio partner, Slingshot Studios, has released Eruption Blaze Cashingo™, bolstering the popular series with a feature-rich release, where jackpots up to 5,000x chart a path to 13,283x win potential.

Set against the backdrop of a lava-spewing volcano, every cash and jackpot coin that lands is added to the mirrored Cashingo™ grid, with the value of all prizes paid out when a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row is completed.

Adding further variety to the action is the integrated ULTRA Link&Win™ feature, which can be activated by landing six or more coins. The feature begins with three respins on a 5×5 reel set, with three extra rows initially locked. Keys can unlock additional rows, expanding the reels and increasing win potential.

Special Boosters can appear during the round, including Doublers that increase the value of up to four cash prize coins and Collectors that gather all visible cash coin values at once. Persistent versions of these boosters remain active, while Extra Life coins award an extra spin once the initial respins are exhausted.

Free Spins offer a change of pace and greater depth, with a Power Stacks™ feature enhancing wild and coin symbols to elevate potential.

Eruption Blaze Cashingo™ showcases Slingshot Studios’ continued refinement of the Cashingo™ franchise, delivering an engaging, well-paced gameplay experience.

Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Our goal with Eruption Blaze Cashingo™ was to take what players enjoy about Cashingo™ and give it more room to develop.

“The combination of the Cashingo™ and Power Stacks™ mechanics introduces a dynamic element to the base game, and the enhanced ULTRA Link&Win™ feature adds clear progression as the grid expands. We are delighted with how the experience comes together.”

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy & Partner Management at Games Global, added:Eruption Blaze Cashingo™ is a strong addition to our portfolio and a great evolution of the Cashingo™ concept. Cash and jackpot coins open up new ways for the game to build, while the updates to the ULTRA Link&Win™ feature bring more variety to each round.

“Slingshot Studios has continued to grow the series in a way that feels natural and engaging.”
