Swintt, the Malta-based game provider, are celebrating the recent launch of their games on Hero Gaming’s brands with an exclusive game release, Egypt King. 

Players across Hero Gaming brands such as CasinoHeroes and Boom Casino are able to play Swintt’s portfolio of specialist games popular in Central European land-based markets, including Germany.

Swintt’s next game release, Egypt King, is available exclusively to players on Hero Gaming brands until February 18th and was a smash-hit in the land-based sector due to its collection feature to trigger extra bonus rounds.

Aside from other land-based classics like Master of Books and Seven Seven, Hero Gaming players will be able to enjoy some of Swintt’s own in-house games over the coming weeks including the evergreen Golden Buffalo and Wild 777.

David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer of Swintt said: 

“Having our games live with some of the most exciting brands in the industry is another highlight in an already tremendous year. I’m thrilled that to see our selection of games go live with Hero Gaming and give an extra special treat in the early release of Egypt King to their players.”

Casino Manager at Hero Gaming, Sven De Waard, said: 

“We have been looking forward to seeing Swintt’s games go-live for some time and we can see our players are very receptive to them. Ensuring our players have the best content to choose, especially relevant content they know and trust, is vital for us so partnering Swintt was the logical choice.”

Staying with Swintt, at the end of last year the company unveiled its mobile-first live dealer product SwinttLive – powered by Playgon™.

Can you hear the thunder? That’s the sound of the latest release from leading supplier Play’n GO; the 5-reel slot Thunder Screech.

Play’n GO are notorious for their mythological slots, particularly those based around ancient Egyptian and Norse culture with past successes including titles like Viking Runecraft, Dawn of Dead and Ring of Odin.

Their attention to detail, and finding unique characters and stories from their cultural legends, have led their games to stand out even while using themes that are hugely popular within the industry; with some of their titles being the most played in the markets.

More recently, they have expanded to include others like their Arthurian slots (Rise of Merlin and The Sword and the Grail for example); and even mixing them in games like Divine Showdown.

This has continued with this latest release. Based on a legend found in several Native American cultures, the game centres around the story of the Thunderbird; a creature formed to protect humanity, a symbol of power and strength.

Play’n GO have used this narrative and theme to create some stunning visuals, placing them alongside a solid mechanic; ensuring the game gives a new type of story to players and is also a game that they will want to play again.

This is partly thanks to a dynamic feature whereby multiplier Wilds remain sticky on the grid as long as they have a multiplier attached to them, giving better wins for longer.

This is not the first Native American themed slot the supplier has put into the market. Lat year’s effort, Coywolf Cash, was a popular title with players, and this game draws from the same style of play.

While creating unique ideas and narratives is an integral part of slot building, Play’n GO CPO Martin Zettergren believes the game must back up the packaging:

“It’s important to give players new ideas and stories to explore while they’re playing; but, it’s also vital that the game itself is still good enough to keep them interested. Many games may be wrapped in a nice theme and have some fun artwork, but then, there’s nothing to hold the players’ interest when it comes to gameplay.

“So, while early numbers might be good, there’s a sharp decline as people play once and then move onto something else. We create games for people to enjoy over and over again.”

Thunder Screech is available to play today!

Asia and emerging markets-focused games distributor QTech Games, has launched its industry-first Network Progressive Jackpot. 

The new rewards feature is on offer across all allocated products from a selection of popular slot developers, including dedicated jackpot games from Blueprint Gaming, covering Grand (Jackpot King), Major (Regal) and Mini (Royal) progressive pots, which run off Blueprint’s signature Jackpot King Deluxe system.

By combining QTech’s platform and machine-learning software to a supplier-by-supplier suit of progressive products, delivering credible winning triggers, the company says its new product assists in building authenticity, trust, and digital dwell-time with end users. 

The progressive jackpots are amassed by players’ contributions, with a small percentage of each qualifying bet contributing to the growing prize pool. The Network Progressive Jackpots are shared across several eligible casinos, helping ensure bigger payouts and more appeal to players. 

Introducing the new product CCP at QTech Games, Ulf Norder, explained:

“We’re delighted to confirm that our new Network Progressive Jackpot feature is really turning players’ heads and keeping them coming back for repeat visits on a highly-playable portfolio of dedicated titles from a range of popular suppliers. Operators large and small understand that progressive jackpots are one of the most effective marketing tools around, and now QTech’s unique “progressives” are taking the notional risk and administration out of jackpot provision.

“QTech Games is already the leader in Asia, while other key growth territories are following suit as well. Our propriety technology means we’re the only aggregator which is not just showcasing fantastic games but also adding engaging features (such as our AI-powered recommendation engine, alongside other Tournament and Jackpot elements) to confirm QTech’s breakthrough position in the marketplace. Network Progressive Jackpots represent just part of an innovative rewards tide that is helping to lift all boats.”

Staying with QTech Games, last month the company announced a partnership with live casino provider Evolution, covering the provision of real-time table games like blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and three card poker, along with regional games like India’s Andar Bahar, to operator clients and their players across Asia and other growth markets.

Indian online gaming company Octro has announced its intention to start international expansion as early as March 2021. 

The company, which currently offers real-money skill-based online games including PlayRummy, Teen Patti, Indian Rummy, Tambola, and Soccer Battles, says it has seen 100% year-on-year growth. 

Discussing plans Chief Marketing Officer of Octro, Manav Sethi, said:

“We have gotten growth on these sides, basically the card and casino side. We have also seen some success on the real money gaming side. So, why don’t we take these IPs (internet protocol) international. 

“That is where our next round of investment in terms of capital, people and time is going into. We have two very clear tracks – build an IP that can go global, and the second track is to take our existing IP globally.”

Sethi also pointed out that despite recent moves to ban online games by several Indian states, including Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Danu, international gaming operators are increasingly targeting Indian consumers with games of chance, like roulette and lotteries, resulting in the Indian government losing out on tax revenue.

AYO.NEWS says:

Considering the huge population of India, it’s not surprising that companies like Octro have found a ready market for their offerings. And, with a huge Indian diaspora globally, already familiar with games like rummy, we’re sure the company will find it relatively easy to establish itself in international markets. 

Staying with the Indian gaming market, at the end of 2020, i3 Interactive Inc, announced further investment exploration in the country, following early market entry success with the acquisition, rebrand, and relaunch of BLITZPOKER.
