Live casino provider cuts the ribbon on new Sport Studio and launches first football-themed dice game that will appeal to sports fans and bettors alike
BETER Live, the provider of premium live casino content, is going for goal with its latest title, The Kickoff. This football-themed live game promises non-stop action with the game broadcast out of the provider’s brand new and state-of-the-art Sport Studio.
The Kickoff, which has been designed to draw in crowds of both sports fans and betting enthusiasts, is set in a modern yet miniature stadium split into two opposing teams – the red team and the blue team.
The game takes the two-dice format with three-way betting options and a unique take on guessing the correct score with dynamic Multipliers also in play. This is a fast-paced game that will have players chanting and cheering as the action plays out across the stadium.
To win, players must predict the outcome of the dice roll – they can either pick which coloured dice will win (red or blue), that the outcome will be a draw (so both dice show the same number) or match the correct score.
The Kickoff is the first game to be broadcast out of BETER Live’s Sport Studio, which boasts cutting-edge video, audio and streaming technologies. It will be followed by other live games with each offering fast-paced rounds and a thrilling, competitive experience.
BETER Live has quickly emerged as a must-have live content provider for operators looking to take player engagement to the next level. It is renowned for the quality of its games, which are proven to entertain players in core regulated markets across the world.
Edvardas Sadovskis, Chief Product Officer at BETER Live, shared his excitement: “As we continue to grow with a diverse and expansive range of product offerings, we’re thrilled to introduce our new release The Kickoff in our sports-themed studio. This game is designed to immerse players in a dynamic football stadium atmosphere.”
“The Kickoff is a simple yet exhilarating game with fast-paced rounds and a unique betting option on Correct Score. Each round brings random Scores, each with its own multiplier, keeping players on the edge of their seats with a pulse-raising experience. Players never know what to expect, adding to the thrill and excitement of the game.”
“Following The Kickoff, we’re excited to roll out our next sports-themed offering in this studio, the Top Card game, where two cards compete head-to-head. This game will feature a unique option to customize game outcomes to align with events happening in the sports calendar, adding another layer of excitement for players. We’re confident that these innovations will solidify our reputation as a must-have provider of premium live content, and we can’t wait to share more exciting games with our players in the coming months.”
