Beginning on 9^th February and lasting a whole year until the same date in 2023, the incredible prize pool of €1,000,000 will yet again be up for grabs.

As part of the companies unrelenting commitment to offering an elite product to operators, Pragmatic Play run what is arguably the best provider promotion in the industry, not only from the perspective of the staggering amount being given away monthly, but how easy it is for operators to integrate it into their site as almost all the integration is managed by Pragmatic Play.

The next phase of Drops and Wins will continue with €1,000,000 (€500,000 on Slots and €500,000 on Live Casino) being given away across Weekly Tournaments and Daily Prize Drops. Tournaments encourage a sense of healthy rivalry among participating players, along with the Prize Drops tool that randomly rewards players. The beauty of Drops and Wins is its versatility to cater for various player types, as Tournaments reward prizes based on the highest single win amount, along with random Prize Drop wins for those punters who just hop on for a few spins. Either way, Pragmatic Play takes some of the pressure off operators as this tool can play a vital role in player retention.

Furthermore, this next version of Drops and Wins will see Free Round Bonuses or FRB’s being awarded to players of the numerous Slots games that feature as part of Drops and Wins such as the award-winning Gates of Olympus. FRB’s act as extension of the Tournaments and Prize Drops, awarding players with Free Spins on their favourite slots based on their leaderboard position or simply at random.

Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play says; “By the time the next stage begins, we will have given away €13,000,000 to players through Drops and Wins.

We are always striving to understand the player, and what better way to give a positive gaming experience than to facilitate more of the feeling that players log on for; the winning feeling. We are delighted with the positive feedback this promotion has received and relish the opportunity to excite players with it for another year.”
