Games provider and social casino operator Design Works Gaming (DWG) has announced its first direct integration with a UK operator after partnering with Betfred. 

Initially, Betfred players will be able to access 20 DWG titles – a combination of slots, stepper slots, scratch cards, and proprietary non-reel spinning games, including its social casino title Test Your Strength. 

Twelve DWG titles will be offered on Betfred’s recently relaunched Vegas tab, with another eight available on Betfred’s Games site. 

Commenting on the deal UK CEO of DWG, Andy Harris, said: 

“Betfred is one of the best-known names in the industry so it is very exciting for us to sign with them as our first direct integration deal in British real money gaming.

“Our portfolio has already proven itself commercially in both land-based and social casinos, so we are able to provide the very best content to our partners. We look forward to an enjoyable and lengthy partnership with Betfred as a result.”

While Head of eGaming at Betfred, Andy Horne, added:

“DWG has a portfolio of content that has already been rigorously tested and enjoyed by millions of players. It also has a rich Las Vegas heritage, so the fit of the games for our new Vegas site couldn’t be better.

“We have plans to significantly scale up the number of DWG games in the coming months, so this marks the start of an exciting journey for both of us and we’re delighted to be able to share these games with our customers.”

DWG has developed land-based slots for some of the industry’s biggest suppliers, including Novomatic, Aristocrat, and IGT, and operates several of its own social casinos. 

AYO.NEWS says:

It’s no surprise to see Betfred, which has traditionally been highly reliant on sports betting, expanding its non-sports iGaming offering in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. 

Over the next few months we expect many more bookies will be pouring additional resources into beefing up their non-sports products, in an effort to make their businesses more resilient.

MGA Games is playing on 1980’s sex appeal with its latest hyperrealistic offering, Samantha Fox. 

The Spanish games developer has created a new slot starring the famous 80’s English teen idol, singer, actress and model. With a distinctly retro visual vibe, this title is aiming straight at the 40+ demographic, combining sex appeal and nostalgia. 

Samantha was catapulted to fame by her song “Touch Me”, which hit the top spots in the UK and UK, along with 15 other countries worldwide, achieving 24 platinum, gold, and silver records. Of course, she’s also fondly remembered for her Page 3 appearances in British tabloids. 

Earlier this month MGA Games released another sexy slot appealing to a distinctly different generation, featuring social media star Jessica Weaver, while in March it released a title featuring the “Queen of Instagram”, Abigail Ratchford. 

Staying with MGA Games, last week we reported the company’s line-up had gone live in Mexico through Betway.mx, the country’s most popular gaming platform. 

AYO.NEWS says:

MGA are certainly splashing some cash developing these hyper-realistic, officially licensed titles, but will they have more than a passing appeal? Will the age old adage “sex sells” prove applicable to the world of slots, and will the social media stars manage to tempt younger generations to spend money on slots? 

While we’re here, let’s not forget Samantha Fox’s finest moment – her appearance on Roland Rat: The Series, at the height of her career in the 1980s.

GiG is an important strategic partner for us, we look forward to continuing to work with them to bring industry-leading technology to the sector.”

AYO.NEWS says:

There’s no doubt that the online poker product has improved dramatically over the past few years, and the COVID-19 sports shutdown has given it a boost as operators search for alternatives to keep customers engaged. Will it last into the post-COVID-19 world though? 

Staying with online poker, last month we caught up with Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO of EvenBet Gaming, to find out how the crisis was affecting business.
