Shufti Pro’s tailored authentication technology verifies legitimate users in real-time & blocks fraudulent accounts, politically exposed people (PEPs) & underaged users

UK based Shufti Pro, a leader in identity verification, today formally announces its partnership with Hero Gaming.

The collaboration has seen Shufti Pro develop a bespoke authentication solution to significantly reduce legitimate customer verification times. As well as block bad actors such as fraudsters and politically exposed people (PEPs) from accessing the Hero Gaming platform.

A leading gaming company, Hero Gaming supports B2B partners in Asia, Latin America, India and the wider world via its platform. It has to navigate complex regulations and laws across these regions to ensure fraudulent and under age users are unable to access its platform. At the same time it needs to ensure that legitimate customers have the best onboarding experience possible.

Prior to implementing Shufti Pro, Hero Gaming relied on manual verification to authorise new users. This led to a stagnation in customer growth as potential customers dropped off during the verification process.

Shufti Pro, which supports over 150 languages and 230 countries and regions, alleviated this problem through its use of enhanced artificial intelligence (AI). A solution that enables customers to run near instant verification, that achieves the highest level of accuracy possible.

Since implementing Shufti Pro, Hero Gaming has seen the time taken to authenticate legitimate customers drop from days to seconds. As a result the business has enjoyed a 20% increase in retained customers.

As users look for a more diverse range of options to prove their identity – such as selfies, screenshots and utility documents – Hero Gaming also turned to Shufti Pro for support in developing a tailored solution that would enable these wide-ranging forms of authentication. Hero Gaming provided regular feedback and suggestions which Shufti Pro was able to take onboard to further improve the product.

Users can now safely join the Hero Gaming platform via a variety of methods. Pre-existing customers are also able to upload supporting documents via a drop down menu in-game should they have queries or questions. With Shufti Pro’s enhanced AI in place, Hero Gaming has seen a significant reduction in the number of manual Know Your Customer (KYC) contacts required, significantly improving the end user experience.

Kristino Vella, Head of Risk, Payments and Fraud at Hero Gaming, said: “When potential customers informed us that our lengthy verification processes were hindering their due diligence verification, we knew we needed to make changes. Shufti Pro had a reputation as a leading authentication expert that would be able to streamline our processes, while enhancing our risk detection.

“Through partnering with the team at Shufti Pro we’ve been able to grow our customer numbers by 20%. At the same time we’re able to streamline their experience while on our platform and stop under-aged users and potentially fraudulent users from accessing our services. It’s a win win.”

Victor Fredung, CEO of Shufti Pro, said: “Verifying the legitimacy of potential customers is critically important, especially in highly regulated sectors such as gaming. But it can also prove challenging. Historically businesses have had to manually authenticate each individual user, however this took considerable time and resources.

“At Shufti Pro we use enhanced artificial intelligence to take the pain out of onboarding. We’re delighted to be working with Hero Gaming, helping them to significantly cut down the time it takes to process authentic customers, while blocking illicit activity such as potential fraudsters and criminals.”

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has loaded up its latest release, Zombie Blasters, a slot that draws its inspiration from the golden age of arcade machines.

Zombie Blasters is a 5 reel, 6 row video slot that is brought to life with bright pixelised graphics and animated arcade style symbols. The game is inspired by old school arcade nostalgia and undead apocalypse thrills, weaving both into every spin, all set against a retro cabinet backdrop with jaunty electronic beats and distorted synth soundscapes.

The main game is powered by Multiplier symbols. At the end of each spin one or more x2 Multiplier symbols may land on the reels and the total win is multiplied by the total value of all Multiplier symbols on the grid.

The Multiplier Wheel takes the action to another level. During a winning spin, the Alarm symbol can appear. This will trigger the wheel to spin and reveal a multiplier from x5 to x50. The Alarm symbol and any Multiplier symbols already present on the reels are then upgraded to that value before wins are paid.

Landing four, five, or six or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the Free Spins Feature with 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. Any multipliers you land during your free spins are added together and remain at the bottom of the reels until the feature ends. If you can land three or more extra Scatter symbols you are awarded with five extra free spins.

Players seeking instant action can also tap the Feature Buy button to launch the Free Spins Feature at the price displayed, with wins of up to x10,000 of the initial bet.

PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Zombie Blasters takes players in the firing line of a pixelated arcade shootout, where the rewards belong to those quickest on the draw. The real showstopper is the Multiplier Wheel, and with the stacking multipliers in Free Spins, explosive wins are never far away – just one Alarm symbol away.”

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal is marching to the beat with 3 Majestic Drums, the latest addition to its renowned Wildlife series.

Taking place on a sweeping African savannah at sunset, the 5×3 reel frame is bathed in the warm glow of an amber horizon, towering acacia trees and the colours of the wild. The instrumental soundtrack beats to the pulse of the continent and players are tossed into an atmospheric adventure from the first spin.

The majestic Lion is the Wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols except for the Bonus and Special Bonus symbols. The Lion pays x10 for five on a line, x2 for 4, x0.5 for 3. There are 3 to 4 Wild combinations but they only pay if a Bonus or Special Bonus symbol follows.

The heart of the game is based on four sparkling diamond symbols. The common Bonus symbol can show up on the reels, and three powerful Special Bonus symbols – BOOST, MULTI and COLLECT – have unique abilities during the Bonus Game. The MYSTERY symbol may only appear in the Bonus Game and can randomly transform into a BOOST, MULTI, COLLECT or Jackpot symbol.

The Bonus Game is triggered by six or more qualifying symbols – in any combination of Bonus and Special Bonus symbols. The trigger symbols are locked on the screen as three spins start. Each new symbol landed resets the spin counter to three. The Bonus Game ends if three spins pass without a new symbol appearing or if total winnings reach the maximum x3000 multiplier.

During the Bonus Game, Jackpot symbols can appear randomly and trigger the Major Jackpot (x150 the total bet), Minor Jackpot (x50) or Mini Jackpot (x20). Players will win the Grand Jackpot if all 15 cells are filled, which is x3000 the total bet.

The Bonus Blast Feature can also trigger at random during the base game, scattering additional Bonus and Special Bonus symbols randomly on the reels to help trigger the Bonus Game.

If you want to get into the action quickly, then you can make use of the Buy Feature, which offers instant entry into the Bonus Game, at a price scaled to your chosen bet.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “3 Majestic Drums takes the pulse of the African wild to the reels in spectacular fashion. The Bonus Game with the BOOST, MULTI and COLLECT mechanics adds a multi-layered, ever-changing dynamic where each spin has the potential to change the game dramatically. We’re confident players will have a great time marching to the beat of this wildly entertaining title.”
