New Inspired Products and Gaming Industry Firsts Showcased at Inspired Booth #S2-310

Inspired Entertainment, Inc., a leading B2B provider of gaming content, technology, hardware and services, will once again be showcasing its suite of entertaining and differentiated cross-platform content in Booth #S2-310 at this year’s ICE tradeshow in London from February 7-9. Highlights will include Inspired’s new Vantage™ server-based ready cabinet, its feature-rich omni-channel content, the ground-breaking licensed Home Run Shootout Legends™ virtual baseball game and NFLA Legends Football™, and the first and only Women’s Virtual Soccer™, just to name a few.

“ICE is the biggest B2B gambling industry event in the world, and a great opportunity for customers to experience the strength and breadth of the product offerings that make Inspired ‘Winning Entertainment,’” said Brooks Pierce, President and Chief Executive Officer of Inspired. “We always strive to make great games that wow players and ICE patrons will be able to see our ground-breaking innovations at the Inspired booth, along with a few surprises. This diverse portfolio is strengthened and broadened with our brand-new Vantage cabinet, being showcased for the first time at ICE, which gives operators a premium suite of gaming cabinets, content and features that is sure to ‘win’ over players,” concluded Pierce.

Strong Suite of Gaming Cabinets

With more than 50,000 gaming devices installed, Inspired is a leading provider of iconic games across the industry. ICE visitors will be able to see Inspired’s strong suite of customized content and premium cabinets that are outperforming in key markets. This year, the Company is debuting its Vantage server-based ready cabinet, which is powered by an intelligent operating system that can deliver content to address the preferences of every player, whether they are looking for time-on-device or larger jackpots, and allows players to search, sort and swipe for games in record time and with supreme quality.

The Valor® multi-game video lottery terminal (“VLT”) continues to impress in the North American market, with its latest placement of 820 units into Saskatchewan for Western Canada Lottery Corporation. ICE patrons can play some of the titles that are giving Valor such strong comparative performance, including the fiery Burn7sBurn™ wide area progressive (WAP), the ham-some Big Piggy Bonus™ WAP and the Egyptian-themed Scarab Gold™.

Omni-Channel Game Themes

Inspired has a proven track record of creating feature-rich games that deliver exciting experiences for regulated gaming, betting, lottery, social and leisure operators across land-based and mobile channels worldwide. At Booth #S2-310, attendees will see how Inspired’s games work across its product portfolio. The strongest performing slot themes, including Gold Cash® and the player-popular Cops ‘n’ Robbers® family of games, will be on display on multiple gaming platforms, including our new Community three-player version. The newest game offerings feature an exciting key mechanic, Fortune Spins, that can be switched on and chosen as an alternative to spinning the normal base-game reels.

Other cross-platform favorites will also be on display. Big Fishing Fortune™, which was nominated for Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, LLC Top Performing NEW Online Slot, can be played on a gaming cabinet, online or on a mobile device. Space Invaders®, bringing a bit of 1980’s gaming nostalgia is available for Gaming and iGaming customers as well as pub, holiday park and motorway service customers in the UK. The popular Scarab Gold™, an ancient Egyptian retail and online game has been transformed into an exciting iLottery game. And last but not least, Clockwork Orange™, an instantly recognizable iconic brand, is also joining the stellar line-up of high performing community games for our Fortune Community product.

Adding to Inspired’s powerful brands, ICE is a great opportunity to see Inspired’s three “big” must-have, must-play, innovative Free Spin bonus mechanics: Big Bonus, Big Spin Bonus and Big Fortune. These bonus mechanics are now offered in many of Inspired’s retail and iGaming games with the aim to keep players spinning and collecting wins. Big Spin Bonus was nominated for an Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, LLC Slot Award in the Top Performing Online Slot category and Most Innovative Online Game.

Inspired will also be debuting its new leaderboard functionality at this year’s ICE. This leaderboard functionality gives operators and venues a tool to draw in players and provides an additional incentive to play. Route venues can use leaderboards to introduce a competitive and promotional element to game play, adding a new play dimension that evokes the familiarity and nostalgia of traditional ranking tables – think Space Invaders high score board. The leaderboard’s easy-to-use interface empowers venues to set up and host customized tournaments with minimal effort.

Ground-Breaking Virtual Sports

ICE is the place to see Inspired’s award-winning Virtual Sports, featuring officially licensed products from all-time great MLBPAA and NFLA players. Inspired’s ground-breaking Home Run Shootout Legends game pits renowned players, including Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle, in a home run hitting competition with a wide range of bet markets, including shootout winner, over/unders and total home runs scored. For football fans, the NFLA Legends Football brings favorite retired NFLA legends back to the field in a fast paced visually entertaining contest with multiple betting markets including spread, money lines and parlays. And, leading up to the Women’s World Cup, Inspired is the first and only provider to showcase a Women’s Virtual Soccer product.

The popular Horses Chase™, the only virtuals horse race available with 40 runners, will also be displayed at ICE, as well as a new US Horses™ with legendary play-by-play announcer Larry Collmus. Inspired does not limit the virtual fun to sports. The super simple Marbles™product is thrilling and easy to play, making it a fan favorite with a variety of different tracks and obstacles to create unpredictable endings.

The Isle of Man: Where eGaming Software Businesses Are Thriving

Published

on

the-isle-of-man:-where-egaming-software-businesses-are-thriving

Introduction

The global eGaming industry is highly competitive, technologically driven and heavily regulated. For software providers operating in this space, choosing the right jurisdiction is critical to long-term success. The Isle of Man is trusted by industry-leading suppliers such as Microgaming, Games Global, 3Oaks, Arrise (Pragmatic Play), and Altenar, to name a few, and has established itself as one of the world’s leading hubs for eGaming through a unique combination of tax efficiency, regulatory credibility, stability and technological infrastructure. This article explores the key advantages of being located on the Isle of Man.

Competitive Tax Environment

One of the most compelling reasons to base an eGaming software company in the Isle of Man is its favourable tax regime. Suppliers based on the Island receive the following advantages to maximise profitability and support international expansion:

  • 0% Corporation Tax
  • 0% Capital Gains Tax
  • 0% Inheritance Tax

Reputation and Credibility

The Isle of Man is widely recognised as a tier one licensing jurisdiction. The Gambling Supervision Commission’s (GSC) enforcement of strict compliance standards means that attaining a licence is a testament to the integrity and good standing of the supplier. Licensed suppliers gain reputational benefits, which in turn create greater opportunities to engage with partners, including operators, aggregators, banks, and payment providers.

For more information regarding the Isle of Man’s software supplier licence, Global Gaming Solutions has released other articles explaining in detail what distinguishes the Island from other licensing options.

However, for Isle of Man software suppliers, a licence is not a mandatory requirement. This places the Isle of Man in an ideal position for startup suppliers, offering unique tax, infrastructure and Government driven financial incentives, with an attractive opportunity to expand into the regulated sector once their concept and strategy are proven.

Playzia, a client of Global Gaming Solutions, has leveraged this opportunity to establish operations in the Isle of Man and has built the brand into a recognised international name, partnering with leading operators and securing exclusive titles such as Love Island.

Access to Global Markets

eGaming software companies based in the Isle of Man enjoy significant operational flexibility. As an outward-facing jurisdiction, the Island maintains a strong international reputation (particularly across Europe and Asia), and obtaining a local licence does not restrict suppliers’ target markets outside sanctioned or blacklisted jurisdictions or those with local regulatory regimes. As such, the Isle of Man provides suppliers with the reach needed to establish their brands in a global market.

In an industry where market access can determine success, an Isle of Man company, and more so a licence holder, has greater access to key partners through its reputation and credibility than “competitor” jurisdictions such as Curacao, Belize, Anjouan and Tobique. As a result, companies can scale internationally with fewer operational barriers, making the Island an ideal base for growth-oriented businesses.

As global markets mature and establish local regulatory regimes, the Isle of Man remains relevant. The ability to hold regulated licenses such as UK, Ontario, Irish, and Finnish licenses through an Isle of Man company allows suppliers to maintain their advantageous position and global focus, whilst also utilising their structure to enter competitive regulated markets. As evidence of this, Global Gaming Solutions has supported leading aggregator St8, securing successful Ontario and UK licences to scale rapidly whilst maintaining operations on the Island.

Advanced Technological Infrastructure

The Isle of Man offers world-class digital infrastructure tailored to the eGaming sector’s needs. High-speed internet connectivity, secure data centres, and reliable telecommunications systems provide a strong foundation for suppliers operating internationally.

The jurisdiction also supports emerging technologies such as cryptocurrency payments, which are increasingly utilised operationally by suppliers. CoinCorner, a local Bitcoin service provider, boasts over 350,000 users and 10 years of service, providing on-the-ground support to local and international businesses.

Government Support and Business-Friendly Environment

The Isle of Man government actively supports the eGaming sector, the GSC has a legacy as an approachable and friendly regulator, whilst Digital Isle of Man frequently attends and hosts eGaming events and meets with prospective businesses to represent the Island as a global tech centre. As such, businesses are supported and encouraged at all levels.

Local Expertise

The Island’s local high-tech sectors, including eGaming, data hosting, blockchain, and AI initiatives, have created a highly skilled workforce that enables and incentivises well-established names such as Microgaming, Games Global, and Arrise (Pragmatic Play) to build local, boots-on-the-ground operations in the Isle of Man.

For start-up operations, the Isle of Man has a wide range of trusted service partners with decades of industry experience to support and advise future leaders. However, as operations grow, the Island makes a strong case for local offices and a headquarters. The Islands’ talent pool of industry-leading compliance and operations professionals enables suppliers to expand existing operations and build substance whilst maintaining the tax, infrastructure, and trusted relationships they have established.

Conclusion

For eGaming software companies, the Isle of Man presents a highly attractive and unique proposition. Companies can not only reduce costs but also enhance their reputation, expand into international markets, and operate within a stable and forward-thinking ecosystem.

By choosing the Isle of Man, suppliers gain immediate tax incentives and credibility, but also future-proof their investment. Clear and realistic opportunities to obtain local and international licences, access a wide network of partners, and establish local offices mean that the Isle of Man is not just a tax-efficient structure but also a commitment to building a reputable brand as a future industry leader.
