Evolution extends its grasp with new deal

April 13, 2021 by Admin

Evolution has built a sterling reputation as a leading provider in the iGaming industry since its founding in 2006 and its Live Gaming offerings are highly popular. The brand is constantly focused on growth by reaching as many customers as possible, and to this end, Evolution recently signed a new deal with Cordish Gaming Group, a division of the Cordish Companies.

Perfect pair

Evolution’s Commercial Director, North America Jeff Millar stated in an official press release that the company is excited to work with Cordish Gaming and Play Live. He also said that Evolution‘s online casino and entertainment portfolio are a great fit for enhancing Cordish’s Live! Experience online.

The Executive Vice-President at Cordish Gaming Group, Joe Billhimer, also weighed in with comments about the new partnership.

“Our Live! Casinos and Hotels set a new standard in best-in-class customer experiences with highly acclaimed gaming, hotel, dining, and entertainment destinations throughout the Mid-Atlantic region,” he said.

Billhimer added that one of the main reasons for creating the PlayLive! online casino was delivering a matching online offering to draw in and entertain players. He also stated that choosing Evolution as a partner will further the firm’s strategy to achieve its goals through the provider’s eye-catching graphics and premium products.

Evolution is having a busy 2020 so far and in the second quarter of the year, it is due to deliver its catalogue of online casino games and First Person RNG-based games from its studios in Philadelphia to PlayLive! players in Pennsylvania.

The recent deal with Cordish Gaming Group marks a further push by Evolution to gain ground in the US market. The provider has gained popularity with Americans since its first incursion.

Following the announcement on 29th March, punters from Philadelphia are waiting with bated breath for the launch of PlayLive! Once the service is active, they will be able to access some of Live Casino’s most popular titles including Crazy Time, the epic Dream Catcher, Lightning Roulette, and Live Football Studio to name a few.

PlayLive! was launched in Pennsylvania by the Cordish Gaming Group in August 2020 via a GAN Restricted partnership. This gaming expertise agency conducts most of its business in Europe.

Thanks to the new deal, the gaming website now has an expanded range of live offerings, game-show content, and First individual options. For the moment, live games will be streamed from the corporate studio based in Philadelphia pending the opening of the new studio in the second quarter of 2021.

Swintt breaks new ground with LeoVegas content deal

March 26, 2021 by Admin

There are surely celebrations going on at Swintt’s Malta headquarters. The iGaming developer’s likely jovial mood would be due to it recently cementing a deal with the LeoVegas Group of online casinos for the delivery of its signature brand of online casino games.

In Swintt’s brief history, since its founding in 2019, the developer has delivered game content to a series of tier-one operators and iGaming platform providers. Swintt’s games will now feature at LeoVegas Casino, LeoVegas Group’s flagship brand which was founded in 2012.

LeoVegas Group-associated brands will now be able to offer players a thrilling selection of blockbuster slots such as Master of Books, Lucky Fruit Wheel, Extra Win, and Tokyo Dragon.

The developer plans to steadily add its titles to the platform weekly until it has its complete 40+ casino games catalogue available for players. Swintt’s popular content that emulates land-based experiences has gained a significant fanbase across the German market and other European countries.

Swintt is preceded by its reputation for creating growth market-focused localised casino content that can be customised for local requirements. The developer’s slots boast intricate math models and compelling design that translate into memorable and rewarding player experiences.

David Mann, Swintt’s Chief Commercial Officer, said, “This is a great deal for us and proves that the quality and calibre of our games is up there with the very best developers in the market. Our portfolio is extensive and localised, allowing operators to ensure the games they offer meet player needs in each market they enter.”

“This allows them to stand out from their rivals through quality content that delivers the experience players are seeking. We are thrilled to be supplying our content to the LeoVegas Group and look forward to seeing our titles land in the lobbies of its casino brands over the coming weeks.”

James Ford, the Group Casino Director at LeoVegas also commented, stating, “Content is a powerful differentiator and this deal with Swintt allows LeoVegas Mobile Gaming Group to add a suite of highly entertaining casino games to our portfolio. That games are localised is a major upside and means we can deliver content that we know meets player preferences in specific markets.”

“We have seen players enjoy their first spins on the Swintt games launched already, including Master of Books, Lucky Fruit Wheel, Extra Win, and Tokyo Dragon, and look forward to adding additional Swintt titles over the coming weeks and months.”

The top 5 highest RTP slots at Leo Vegas

February 26, 2021 by Admin

Regardless of all their bells and whistles, slot titles are purely games of chance, and determining exactly which slots are guaranteed to land you big or regular wins is a near impossible task.

That being said, some determiners can indicate an increased likelihood of winning, and Return to Player (RTP) is one of the more important ones. Games with a higher RTP statistically offer more frequent winning chances and an overall more enjoyable gaming experience.

Bearing all this in mind, here are the slots with the top 5 highest RTP at Leo Vegas NZ.

Blood Suckers by NetEnt (98% RTP)

The age of this title aside, its high RTP has kept this slot on the popularity charts for close to a decade. It features a universally compelling vampire theme and has two features that are regularly triggered. While your wins may come often, there isn’t much chance for a massive payout so the game tends to attract players who enjoy extended stints of spinning without it posing too large a threat to their bankrolls.

Jokerizer by Yggdrasil (98% RTP)

Yggdrasil was in full-on retro mode when they developed Jokerizer. The fruit machine-themed slot features instantly recognisable symbols like lucky 7s, bells, and all the iconic fruit. While it emulates the feeling of playing your favourite slot in a pub, the slot integrates modern design methods to produce sharp, immersive visuals and sound. While this game may be aimed directly at a niche market, its RTP of 98% makes it an attractive prospect for gamers of all types.

White Rabbit by Big Time Gaming (97.7%)

The classic, sometimes psychedelic tale of Alice in Wonderland is brought to vibrant life in this title. The game adopts a mildly unsettling vibe that captures the spirit of the story perfectly and the main feature sees you expanding the reels to boost your winning chances.

The slot’s high RTP of 97.7%, doesn’t guarantee that your bankroll is shielded from large losses as the game is also highly volatile with big bonus payouts appearing less often than you might like.

Money Train by Relax Gaming (up to 98%)

This Wild West-themed title starts you off with an industry-average RTP of 96.2% in the base game, but lets you take things to the next level with a handy buy feature where you trade an amount of 80x your stake for instant access to the bonus feature and a boosted RTP of 98%.

The trade-off may well be worth it as the game promises a compelling maximum reward of 20 00x your stake.

Joker Strike by Quickspin (up to 98.11%)

Quickspin’s Joker Strike takes an unconventional approach to slot gameplay by doing away with the expected bonus features in favour of a game mechanic that gives you the chance to boost the amount you claim after a winning spin. While the base game, RTP starts at 96%, you can employ the High Roller feature that can take your RTP up to 98.11%. The feature gives you winning chance-boosting features in exchange for your wager being increased for a certain number of spins.

50 Free Spins at LeoVegas

Now that you have an idea of which games you might like to try your hand at, LeoVegas has a brilliant introductory offer for new customers. You get 50 Signup Free Spins on Starburst (a slot that allows operators to add their own RTP boost) at LeoVegas Casino. You will receive your bonus free spins immediately after signing up with no deposit requirement.

If you do choose to make a deposit you are eligible for a 100% up to NZD$1000 casino bonus with 150 Cash Spins.

Evoplay deal means a plethora of pokies for NZ players

February 23, 2021 by Admin

Evoplay has finalised a new agreement that grants CasinoEngine operators access to its popular titles such as Book of Keno, Treasure Mania, and Temple of Dead, all of which integrate Spinential, Evoplay’s proprietary game engine. Spinential has been active since July 2020 and enhances gameplay quality by improving game downloading and loading speeds, making them 10 times faster on average.

In an official press release, Amund Stensland, the COO for EveryMatrix said. “Evoplay Entertainment’s unique game collection has proved hugely popular with a wide variety of demographics, performing particularly strongly with the emerging generation of players. The diversity of its superior product suite is especially appealing, and we look forward to working with our new CasinoEngine partner.”

Evoplay Entertainment’s Chief Business Development Officer, Vladimir Malakchi, also commented on the partnership, saying, “Added, armed with the latest high-tech products of unrivaled quality, we look forward to signing additional tier one agreements in the period to come.”

Evoplay is no doubt invigorated by its most recent successes, including sweeping three major accolades at the Login Casino Awards on December 16, 2020. The company took home awards for Slots Provider of the Year, Marketing Guru of the Year, and the Speaker of the Year award claimed by Vladimir Malakchi, the firm’s Chief Business Development Officer.

Based in Kyiv, Ukraine, the developer was also notably included in the shortlist for Mobile Innovation of the Year, and Casino Developer of the Year at the 2020 SBC Awards. This is a landmark achievement, as Evoplay is the first Ukraine-based game provider to make the EGR’s Game of Year shortlist.

Many hands make light work

Evoplay Entertainment is a fairly new player in the market, having only first opened its doors in 2017. Despite its relative newness, the Ukrainian firm has made quite a few notable impacts on the gambling scene, which is thanks, in part, to some carefully considered partnership deals.

The year is shaping up to be an interesting and profitable one for the developer as it also recently signed a new deal with the Best Canadian Casinos via the B2C Platform, which has been operating since 2017. Under the partnership, Evoplay will be able to extend its reach to the UK, Croatia, Malta, Bulgaria, and Rome.

Microgaming breaks new ground with Rootz content supply deal

February 19, 2021 by Admin

iGaming industry leader Microgaming has secured another lucrative content supply partnership and will provide its portfolio of titles to Wheelz, a brand under the operator Rootz. Microgaming’s content will now be available on the Wheelz site, giving the existing selection a significant boost.

The two companies have enjoyed a working relationship since 2019 and after an initial productive period, Microgaming has moved to expand their alliance.

Rising star

Despite being a relatively young company, Rootz has made a significant impact in the iGaming sphere. The operator’s first brand, Wildz Casino, launched in 2019 and soon gained a legion of fans after adding Microgaming content to its selection.

In the wake of the success of Wildz in the NZ and global online casino markets, Rootz launched Caxino in 2020. The brand’s bold expansion demonstrated its commitment to securing its slice of the market. This success inspired the brand to launch its newest site, Wheelz.

In addition to Microgaming’s premium content, Wheelz has appointed David Hasselhof to act as its spokesperson because a little bit of iconic celebrity pizzazz goes a long way.

Methodology of success

Head of Partnerships at Microgaming, Neil Bancroft, was enthused about the partnership expansion with Rootz. In an interview following the news, he said how much his company admires the operator, who he said had achieved the formula for success. He characterised the arrangement as a winning strategy and said that he anticipates it will generate even more success in the future.

The CEO of Rootz, Lasse Rantala also had his say, crediting Microgaming as playing a large part in his company’s achievements. He stated that while Wildz and Caxino had exceeded his expectations, with the bar this high, he is even more motivated to succeed.​

Google Play Store opens a wider playing field for gambling apps

February 16, 2021 by Admin

On Thursday, January 28, Google gave gambling app developers some of the best news they have heard in years. The company revealed its intention to update its policies regarding permitted wagering and betting in an expanded list of countries including New Zealand. Currently, gambling apps can only be found in the Brazilian, French, Irish, and United Kingdom Google Play Stores. The permitted apps include real money games, daily Fantasy Sports, lotteries, and sports betting, and online casinos.

Before this development, Android users in excluded territories had no choice but to download apps directly from licensed casino websites. This is a risky choice as it involves compromising the security measures on one’s device.

The new additions

The new countries that can now access gambling apps via the Play Store include NZ, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Mexico, Romania, Sweden, and Belgium, among others.

App owners will have the chance to advertise their products within certain limitations. The apps and their promotion must be legal within their specified region.

Adverts will have to be age-restricted and include information on responsible gambling. The apps may also not contain content that urges potential players to try real-money gambling services.

This change of regulations around app advertising follows a recent update of Google’s gambling policies. The company implemented a new policy in December 2020 allowing both search engine and YouTube users to opt-out of seeing betting adverts.

Getting on the shelf

Developers who want their apps featured on the Play Store will need to complete an application and have to meet numerous requirements.

Any NZ online casino must exhibit compliance with industry standards and the country’s legal requirements.

Applying developers must hold valid gambling licenses and their apps will have to be rated ‘Adult Only’ to ensure underage players cannot access them. App availability must be limited to the developer’s permitted territories.

All gambling apps must be free to download and Google’s in-app billing system will not be available.

Any time is winning time with LeoVegas Hourly Jackpots

February 12, 2021 by Admin

Chief among the benefits of playing slots is the chance to win massive amounts of cash with the smallest of bets. Many of today’s slots can produce wins in excess of 20,000 times your stake, a feat that few other casino games can match.

Your winning chances have now received an additional boost with LeoVegas’ Hourly Jackpots.

On each hour of every day, selected slots will feature a progressive jackpot for one fortunate player. The jackpot builds up over the hour, fuelled by all the players betting in qualifying games. If you are the lucky one, you could take home a four-figure win.

Red Tiger Gaming came up with the hourly jackpot concept which can be found in numerous games and at a wide selection of online casinos.

Play to win

Every qualifying slot will display a jackpot timer counting down the minutes to when the jackpot pays out. With a jackpot landing every 60 minutes, there is a whole lot of winning going around.

Once you have selected a qualifying slot, you will need to land 3 jackpot symbols on the reels to trigger the jackpot wheel, where you will have a shot at the Hourly Jackpot, or the Daily and Super Jackpots.

If you’re ready for a full-on frenzy of winning, all you need to do is head over to the Daily Jackpots category on Leo Vegas and choose your preferred game. All the Daily Jackpot slots also have an Hourly Jackpot, so you have two chances in one. Some great titles to try your hand at are Lucky Halloween, Da Vinci’s Mystery, Tiki Fruits, and The Wild Hatter.​

How 5G is a game-changer for gaming

February 9, 2021 by Admin

Access to 5G technology is rapidly growing across the globe, and this evolution of high-speed internet is already changing the way people utilise online services. The gaming world has predictably seized on the opportunity and embraced this innovation which has also brought about improvements in carrier capacity, to transform the face of the industry.

Is speed a need?

Live casinos and online New Zealand online casinos rely heavily on high-quality, consistent internet speed to ply their services and products. Slow, choppy internet can ruin your gaming experience, particularly with live casino which is meant to provide an immersive, real-time environment. Inconsistent internet can break the immersion and trigger feelings of distrust in players.

The global gaming industry is set to reach a value of $525 billion in 2021 with a projected 2.4 billion individuals expected to play online games. This means that 4G networks will be increasingly under pressure to handle rising bandwidth demands. 5G’s increased bandwidth seeks to eliminate bottlenecks and blockages caused by player bandwidth demand exceeding available capacity.

A strategic fit

The arrival of 5G aligns with the rapid growth of mobile gaming. High-quality wireless connectivity makes it possible to have an experience on your mobile device equal to that of accessing online casinos via more traditional means. Stable, fast internet over wide geographical areas is, therefore, necessary to ensure that the player on the go has a consistent and uninterrupted experience.

The quest for zero latency

Latency is a term that describes the time it takes to return a piece of data that has been requested, 4G has a latency rate of around 10mS. 5G wireless connectivity offers a much-reduced latency rate as low as 0.5mS. This translates to speedier and more engaging gaming experiences.

It’s hard to predict the exact impact 5G will have on the iGaming industry, but what is certain is that access to this new technology will allow for previously unseen levels of innovation and service provision. Which is great news for players, operators, developers and aggregators alike.​
