The Sports Metaverse pioneers esports with virtual land sales, metaverse personal training, sports betting and fan engagement

The Sports Metaverse, the world’s first virtual world specifically focused on sports, has announced that former professional football players, Shaun Wright Phillips and Jordan Stewart, have purchased land in the Sports Metaverse.

Shaun Wright Philips will use his land for events and to display his NFTs:

“I’m really excited to be involved in the Sports Metaverse. This is the new frontier when it comes to sports. The metaverse and owning a piece of it is about interaction and co creation – watching live sports with friends all around the world, hanging out with friends, and buying and selling NFTs are some of the things I’m really looking forward to doing here.“

Investment into VR real estate in the metaverse has grown exponentially, with brands like Adidas and top influencers looking to establish themselves in the virtual world. In the metaverse where possibilities are endless, investors see the potential to rent a virtual space for parties with sports stars, private lodges to view sporting events in VR stadiums, or offer key brands a space for sponsorship appearances. As a result, early investors are already making tenfold, million dollar profits. The returns are expected to continue to grow as Grayscale Research predicts annual revenues for the metaverse at $1 trillion, with $400 Billion for gaming worlds alone.

In addition to Shaun Wright Philips, Sports Metaverse announced that four companies have already pre-bought land. They include Phat Fantasy, Own the Moment, ThriveFantasy, Press Sports, and Beyond The Game Network. Brands can apply for the private sale here.

SportsIcon COO and Co-Founder Alexi Yovanoff said:

“Both Shaun and Jordan have played at the top of their profession, so it’s an honor to have these athletes join the Sports Metaverse. I still remember the goal that Shaun scored against Manchester United in 2004, and Jordan has had a great career here in the UK and in the USA.
What strikes me the most about these two is their passion for web3, communities, and the interaction with athletes that the Sports Metaverse will give to consumers.”

Shaun Wright Phillips is one of the best players of his generation, playing for England in the National Team, and for Manchester City and Chelsea. Jordan Stewart has had a successful career in both England and the United States at clubs such as Leicester City and the San Jose Earthquakes.

The Sports Metaverse is a digital world devoted solely to sports. It unites the most prominent sports stars, brands, and clubs together in one place. Sports Metaverse is built by SportsIcon and industry veterans from Sony, Doom, Playstation Home, and Nvidia. You can trade NFTs, buy land, interact with iconic sportspeople, and visit stadiums.

SportsIcon is backed by rapper turned investor Nas, Dapper Labs, Dapper Labs CEO Roham Gharegozlou, Youtube Founder Chad Hurley, Hedera and Reserve Founder Andrew Masanto, and ex NBA star Andrew Bogut.

Irish-themed slot runs a 5×3 layout with 20 fixed paylines and lists a 2,000x max win, plus Hold and Win and bonus buy options.

Booming Games has launched Greedy for Gold: Hold and Win, the second game in its Greedy for Gold series. The supplier said the slot uses a 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines and offers a maximum win potential of 2,000x.

The Irish-themed title includes Pot of Gold and Lucky Hat mechanics, plus Free Spins with Jumbo symbols and a Hold and Win feature. In the base game, Booming Games said the Pot of Gold feature collects non-triggering coins and can award Hold and Win on any spin, while Lucky Hat collects Scatter symbols for a chance to trigger Free Spins. Three, four or five Scatter symbols award 10, 15 and 20 Free Spins respectively.

During Free Spins, Jumbo symbols appear across reels 2-4, the company said. Jumbo Scatter symbols award an extra three spins, while Jumbo Value symbols trigger the Hold and Win feature. Value symbols range from 1x to 100x the bet amount, and filling the grid awards the Grand Bonus worth 1000x the bet amount.

Booming Games said Hold and Win starts with three respins, with Scatter symbols held in place and additional symbols resetting the respin counter to three. Players can also purchase a Mystery Bonus for 75x the bet amount or a Super Bonus for 100x, while a Boost+ side bet increases the bet amount by 25% and increases the chance of triggering bonus features with Bonus Buy.

Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “While we have a dedicated pipeline of releases around St Patrick’s Day, our Irish themed games are popular with players all year round. With a number of innovative bonus features, the game demonstrates our commitment to delivering premium gaming experiences, and we’re confident that players will enjoy this latest addition to our collection.”

4 Pots Riches: Super Wheel introduces a wheel-trigger tied to Bonus and Mega Bonus modes, with up to 10,000x payouts.

Playson has released 4 Pots Riches: Super Wheel, adding a new “Super Wheel” mechanic to its 4 Pots Riches slot line-up.

The Super Wheel feature triggers when a Super Wheel Symbol is present on the reels at the moment either the Bonus Game with Pot Features or the Mega Bonus Game starts. Playson said the wheel then spins to award either a Jackpot Coin, a Clover Coin, or a coin with a value of up to 10x.

In the Bonus Game, Clover Coins are collected by coloured pots above the reels and can trigger one of three pot features: Multi (adds multipliers of up to 5x), Collect (collects symbol values on the reels into the coin value, including multipliers), and Mystery (awards a Mini, Minor or Major Jackpot, or a random value of up to 75x the total bet). The Mega Bonus Game is played on an expanded 5×5 field and is accessed via a Mega Clover Coin in the main game, increasing the chance to land additional Clover Coins and features.

Playson also said a Golden Pot feature can randomly trigger during the Bonus or Mega Bonus Game, transforming into a violet, blue or red Clover Coin to activate or enhance features. Jackpot Coins can also appear, awarding Mini, Minor or Major wins worth 15x, 30x or 100x. Filling all 15 cells in the Bonus Game or all 25 cells in the Mega Bonus Game awards 3,000x and 10,000x wins respectively.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “4 Pots Riches: Super Wheel reflects our commitment to evolving successful game concepts with fresh mechanics that enhance engagement and excitement. The new Super Wheel feature adds an extra layer of anticipation to the bonus experience while complementing the proven appeal of our Pot Features.

“Combined with the Mega Bonus Game and Golden Pot enhancements, the release delivers a compelling blend of familiar mechanics and new opportunities. We believe it will resonate strongly with players and further strengthen the popularity of our 4 Pots series.”
