The leading iGaming industry company SOFTSWISS complements the functionality of the Casino Platform by launching a new feature called Team Tournaments. It lets players have more fun, encourages players versus player competition, and motivates player engagement.

This feature is an update of the Tournaments tool, which is available to all clients of the SOFTSWISS Casino Platform. The start of Team Tournaments expands the opportunities for players to compete with each other. It also increases the chances of winning due to the total contribution of several players in a team event, which distributes the result between team members. Thus, while one player loses, there is still a chance for the team to win the tournament or gain a win through the other player’s performance in the group.

The mechanism for Team Tournaments is the following: up to 10 teams are created in the casino, and each team can have a certain number of players. They are allocated to groups based on operator-defined settings, aiming for even distribution.

The internal research by the SOFTSWISS Casino Platform team demonstrates that the new type of tournament aims to increase player engagement and loyalty. Also, players who win tournament rewards show more game activity and are willing to deposit more. The research shows that tournament usage boosts the growth of casino metrics – the Deposit Count increases on average by 10–20%, and the Deposit Sum rises x2.

Casinos using tournaments have shown increasing metrics and performance. This suggests that Team Tournaments will further improve results. More prizes will attract more players and boost user engagement in tournaments, directly affecting deposit amounts and other indicators.

Anna Loiko, a Product Owner at SOFTSWISS Casino Platform, highlighted the following: “We are proud to announce the launch of Team Tournaments for our clients. Based on the results of the Tournaments functionality research, we can conclude that Team Tournaments will be demanded among operators and players. The new functionality engages a competitive element and generates team hype, which is the foundation for a high level of player engagement. SOFTSWISS continues to update the feature and will soon introduce novelties that will make the offer even more attractive.”

The SOFTSWISS Casino Platform is a management software for online casinos, which provides various solutions like White Label, Turnkey and Crypto Casino Solutions. A multifunctional back office that comes with player account management (PAM), varied and flexible integrated payment services, and a Complete iGaming Platform with other SOFTSWISS products allow operators to run an online casino according to their player’s desires.

Spinomenal has released Aztec Spell – Hold & Hit 3×3, adding a new Hold & Hit title to its slots portfolio.

The game runs on a 3×3 reel set and uses the Quetzal Bird as the Wild, substituting for all symbols except Bonus symbols. Two special Bonus symbols drive the main feature: Bonus symbols can land only on reels one and three, while Bonus Collect can land only on reel two.

The Bonus Game triggers when Bonus Collect lands alongside one or more Bonus symbols. Triggering symbols lock and the feature starts with three spins; during the feature only Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols can appear. Each spin can award multipliers of x1, x2, x5, x7, x10, and x15, and the round ends after three spins without a win or when total collected winnings reach the max x5000 multiplier.

Spinomenal said Grand, Major, Minor, and Mini in-game jackpot symbols can appear during the feature and pay immediately. A Bonus Blast feature can also trigger randomly to add extra Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols, and Spinomenal said Bonus Collect can still collect values even if it lands without starting the Bonus Game.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Aztec Spell – Hold & Hit 3×3 casts players into a mysterious jungle on the hunt for Aztec riches enhanced by some cool gameplay features. The titles’s beautiful visuals and proven Hold & Hit mechanics come together perfectly to give players an experience for the ages.”
