Life just suddenly got so much better. The legendary Mr. Vegas is back and bringing the ultimate Vegas experience to players’ fingertips.

With five reels and 60 paylines, Mr. Vegas 2: Big Money Tower™ delivers a feature overload with Stacked Mystery Symbols, Free Spins, a Pick Bonus and the innovative Big Money Tower for gold, silver or bronze winnings.

The sequel to Mr. Vegas™ – one of Betsoft’s most popular releases of all times – Mr. Vegas 2: Big Money Tower™ takes our handsome hero back to the high rollers’ casino for some serious action.

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

The Mr. Vegas icon and his two beautiful companions are surrounded by the classic symbols of dice, diamonds and casino chips. With the Big Money Tower symbol, Roulette Wheel Wild and neon Las Vegas sign Scatter, there is no doubt that players have joined Mr. Vegas in gaming heaven.

Each reel contains Stacked Mystery Symbol positions that will not only be replaced with a random symbol before each spin but can turn into Wilds. As the positions are always filled with the same symbol, the winning chances just get better with each spin.

Wilds can appear on any reel and substitute for all symbols except the Scatter and the Big Money Tower.

Naturally, Free Spins is the V.I.P. version in Mr. Vegas 2: Big Money Tower. Trigger the round when three Scatters or more appear on reels two, three and four. Two face-down playing cards will appear. Click one to discover your Wilds Bonus and get ready to win.

Will you receive Sticky Wilds which give 10 Free Spins and stay in place throughout the round on winning combinations?

Perhaps Expanding Wilds with 12 Free Spins will appeal more? These cover the reel, sticking in place for one Free Re-Spin. Should you trigger another Wild, then one more Free Spin is added to the counter.

Or could 15 Free Spins with Random Wilds and the chance of two to six Wilds just appearing with each spin be your ticket to big wins?

For those who want immediate access to Free Spins, the Buy feature enables players to specifically choose one of the three Wilds Bonuses without the random flipping of a card.

However, in Vegas there is V.I.P. and then there is V.V.I.P. and finding three Big Money Tower symbols simultaneously on reels one, three and five moves players straight into the casino super league.

Three Towers – Bronze, Silver and Gold – are available. Triggering the feature means a random Tower will open in a new screen as Mr. Vegas welcomes players into his marble columned private casino.

Flip a coin to climb the Tower for the big money prizes. Each rung climbed takes players up a level to a new Multiplier value of their stake. However far players get, there is always a win, but the higher you climb, the more guests arrive at the party and the bigger the multiplier!

Who will make it to the top of the Golden Tower for the ultimate 1,000x stake payout? Flip the coin to find out your fortune.

Alongside the stunning graphics and mellow, jazz inspired soundtrack, Mr. Vegas 2: Big Money Tower™ brings very high volatility play and the chance for mega wins on the nail biting flip of a coin or turn of a card.

Why go to Vegas when Vegas can come to you? And with a default RTP of 96.08% and a max win of 2601.66x, Mr. Vegas 2: Big Money Tower™ is the sequel that is well worth the wait.

Anastasia Bauer, Head of Account Management, Betsoft Gaming, said: ‘Mr. Vegas 2: Big Money Tower™ is a slot that players can truly own. The many different features and winning opportunities ensure the gameplay constantly provides action and engagement. Players will love the connection with the high roller casino vibe that they originally found in 2012’s Mr. Vegas™. This time, a more personalised experience ensures that players can set their own path to even bigger wins.’

Player retention remains an essential priority for operators aiming to maintain a competitive edge in the evolving iGaming industry. With over 15 years of expertise, leading tech provider SOFTSWISS reveals how a strategic blend of responsible gambling practices and advanced analytics helps to retain players.

The award-winning SOFTSWISS Managed Services has years of experience supporting over 180 brands with First Line and VIP Player Support, Anti-Fraud Support, Player Retention and Reactivation, and Content Management Services. Apart from the buzzword “gamification”, SOFTSWISS experts share the top five valuable trends in player retention that help keep players engaged.

Real-Time Analytics & AI-Driven Personalisation

Operators leverage AI, machine learning, and real-time data analytics to enhance player engagement and retention. By analysing player behaviour, AI enables the creation of personalised offers and promotions, enriching the gaming experience and fostering loyalty.

Additionally, real-time analytics allows operators to continuously monitor player activity, facilitating immediate responses to player needs. This proactive approach helps identify at-risk players early and deploy targeted interventions to prevent churn, ensuring a more dynamic and engaging gaming environment.

Loyalty Programs with VIP Focus

A well-designed loyalty program fosters long-term player retention by offering exclusive perks and incentives that make high-value players feel appreciated. Recognising player loyalty allows operators to reduce churn and encourages continued engagement with their projects.

Operators build strong VIP relationships by enhancing player satisfaction. Exclusive experiences, dedicated support, and premium content keep players engaged. A long-term strategy with tailored retention efforts maximises their lifetime value, creating a more immersive experience.

Umberto Facciolla, Head of CRM at SOFTSWISS Managed Services, comments: “Standing out in a competitive market means creating a VIP program that exudes exclusivity and prestige. Providing exceptional benefits and unique experiences gives players a compelling reason to choose and remain loyal to your platform rather than seeking alternatives”.

Safer Gambling

Operators demonstrate a strong commitment to player well-being, fostering trust and loyalty by providing tools that allow players to set limits on deposits, wagers, and session duration. Features such as self-exclusion options and resources for responsible gambling further contribute to creating a safe gaming environment.

This approach not only safeguards players but also strengthens their relationship with the platform. Such a win-win strategy leads to increased engagement and long-term retention.

Seamless Payment Solutions

Providing various secure and convenient payment options enhances the overall player experience, contributing to higher retention rates. Integrating digital wallets and cryptocurrencies, along with streamlined deposit and withdrawal processes, reduces friction and encourages players to remain loyal to the platform.

Community Building and Social Features

Fostering a sense of community through social features, such as in-game chat rooms and forums, enhances player engagement. Building player communities encourages interaction and loyalty as players feel more connected to the platform and each other.

Umberto Facciolla, Head of CRM at SOFTSWISS Managed Services, summarises: “By embracing these trends, operators can develop effective retention strategies that not only keep players engaged but also foster long-term loyalty, ensuring sustained success in a competitive market. A trusted iGaming partner, providing all types of customer support, will definitely make this journey easier.”

Resorts World Las Vegas is proud to announce the appointment of Brian Sandoval, former Governor of Nevada, to its Board of Directors.

Sandoval served as Nevada’s 30th governor from 2011 to 2019, during which he championed economic growth, education reform, and innovation in the state. Prior to his governorship, Sandoval held several prominent positions, including Federal Court Judge, Attorney General of Nevada and Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission.

As a respected leader with a proven track record, Sandoval’s appointment reflects the leadership team’s vision for the next phase of growth. Sandoval joins Chairman Jim Murren and directors A.G. Burnett, Michelle DiTondo, and Tan Kong Han on the Board.

“The Board and I recognize the unique position Resorts World Las Vegas holds at the north end of the Strip, a crown jewel of Vegas that is bursting with potential,” shared Murren. “To fully capitalize on our vision, we need strong leaders to help us build and drive progress.
