Real Money Function to Reinforce SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator’s Tournament Tool
The ‘Only Real Money’ setting is the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator’s new update to its recently launched Tournament Tool. The feature allows operators to calculate tournament results based solely on real-money bets and wins, thereby ensuring a greater focus on players who generate real profit for casinos.
Previously, tournament results were determined by including both bonus and real-money bets in the calculation process. The new feature strategically excludes bonuses from the equation, providing a compelling incentive for players to engage in real-money bets. By unlocking this opportunity, the Game Aggregator anticipates a surge in deposits and, consequently, real business revenue growth for operators.
As a result, operators can now curate events on their platforms, leveraging more profit-generating mechanics. The ‘Only Real Money’ logic amplifies the efficiency of the Tournament Tool while allowing operators to increase their revenue streams and elevate retention rates without compromising the thrill for tournament enthusiasts.
Tatyana Kaminskaya, Head of SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, sees great value in this new feature and states: “The ‘Only Real Money’ setting brings cost-effectiveness into play, enhancing the efficiency of tournaments and accelerating their payback. By redirecting the costs towards real profit rather than bonus turnover, casinos can ensure that their investments in players generate substantial returns.”
To facilitate the flawless operation of the new feature, the active involvement of casinos is pivotal. By engaging in the process, operators will have the opportunity to set configurations on their side and collaborate with the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator to establish the criteria for qualifying bets. Based on the received information, the product team will be able to highlight bonus-based wins and keep them separately from the leaderboard. This capability underscores the Game Aggregator’s commitment to meeting the diverse goals and needs of its operators and showcases the adaptability and versatility of its proposition.
Overall, this year is brimming with significant achievements for the Game Aggregator. Building on the previous success, the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator has secured the prestigious ‘Aggregator Platform’ title at the EGR B2B Awards 2023 reaffirming its position as an industry leader in innovation for the second year in a row. And the introduction of the Tournament Tool, now featuring the ‘Only Real Money’ functionality, exemplifies the team’s unwavering commitment to excellence through technological innovation.
SOFTSWISS will be attending iGB L!VE 2023 on 11–14 July at stand P22, showcasing the array of its high-performing products and solutions, including the Game Aggregator with its latest updates. Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to explore these advancements firsthand at SOFTSWISS’ stand.

Hellenic Lotteries selected Scientific Games through a competitive procurement process.

“At Allwyn Hellas and Hellenic Lotteries, we put players at the center of everything we do, emphasizing their entertainment experience. Therefore, we’re delighted to collaborate with Scientific Games as our instant game provider to deliver exciting scratchcard games to players in Greece,” said Matthaios Mattaiou, Chief Sales & Marketing PLAY Stores/HL and Operations Officer at Allwyn Hellas. “Beginning with new games launched in May, we look forward to engaging players with fresh propositions.”
Scientific Games said it will produce Greek scratchcards at its European Center of Game Production Excellence in the UK and provide a sales support team for delivery. “Our instant game innovators will continue to apply Scientific Games’ 53 years of analytics and game design best practices working to provide a portfolio of innovative scratchcards that drives responsible growth in Greece,” said Matthias Müller, Senior Vice President, International Sales for Scientific Games.

We also see that once players feel comfortable with these mechanics, they are happy to explore our other top titles which have proved to be successful in Romania like Cash of Gods and Flames Fruit Frenzy. It proves that respecting what players like is the best way to introduce new ideas to the market.”
ELA Games also reported a 160.62% increase in turnover and a 33.71% boost in GGR across the region, naming Joker Winpot and Cash of Gods as top-performing titles. The company said Flames Fruit Frenzy also contributed to performance in Romania.
The studio framed the results as evidence that Romanian players are responding to modernised classic formats, including high-volatility gameplay and expanding reels. ELA Games said the mix is helping operators retain traditional audiences while introducing newer mechanics through familiar presentations.
