Posted on May 3, 2022May 2, 2022 by Aaron Decker

As part of its ambitious growth plans, Bulgarian-based EGT Interactive Limited has recently announced it has re-branded to Amusnet. With this move, the company has made yet another leap toward becoming a leading full-service-based online casino game provider. Previously, the company was best known for being a progressive casino game developer.

Since it was launched back in 2002, the company has built a portfolio of nearly 200 games. Unsurprisingly, the majority of games one the game developers’ catalog are slots.

What’s New

EGT quietly unveiled the name change in March as it began to construct a picture for the industry of where it is heading in the future. However, the leadership has not revealed any radical changes yet. Instead, they have mentioned that the rebrand is “a simple method to offer diversity in our portfolio while maintaining the same high level of service and quality.”

Still, there are some very exciting things that players can look forward to. According to the EGT leadership, the new brand positioning and game enhancements would provide a higher level of entertainment, without affecting EGT’s basic ideals, service, or fantastic products. Innovative features and enhanced functions of the developer’s traditional slot games are among the things players and operators can expect to experience.

New Exciting Additions

The EGT brand is not the only thing that is getting an upgrade. For slots lovers looking for something different to enjoy EGT Interactive has launched a portfolio improvement with Superb Keno. This is a reimagined version of the lottery-style game keno that is expected to deliver a unique and exciting experience to casino players.

Superb Keno is a single-player slot game that offers smooth animation as well as a variety of other appealing features. Players will choose up to ten numbers in the game and will be rewarded for matching them. There is also an amazing Shuffle Option included in the game. It also includes real-time drawing animation and an Exclusive Paytable x2, in which players must match the final Bonus Ball to get their rewards, while the Jackpot Cards Bonus game reveals some amazing Jackpots for the players to try out.

Besides Superb Keno, Amusnet Interactive has plans for several more amazing additions to its portfolio of games. All are welcome additions, especially considering how fast the market has been expanding over the years. We are very excited to see how well the company will do when it comes to integrating other innovations into their casino games.

Posted on April 3, 2022April 1, 2022 by Abe Efe

Fast-rising Cyprus-based crypto casino operator FoggyStar has recently received a whopping $5 million in funding. The investment that the company has received was from Canadian and Japanese investors who are likely to be very optimistic about the operator’s future in the crypto gambling space.

If you have not year heard of FoggyStar, that is understandable. The company officially made its debut at the beginning of 2022. Its entry into the gambling market is, however, very interesting. Its goal is not just to be a great crypto casino, but to also contribute to making the entire online gambling industry even better than it already is.

At the moment, the FoggyStar gaming platform is still in its alpha version. However, it is already packed with amazing offerings including a solid range of high-quality online casino games. The top-notch quality of the games can be attributed to FoggyStar’s partnerships with leading developers like NetEnt, Pragmatic Play and Play’n GO.

In addition to the amazing game selection, the budding iGaming operation is also offering players a special bonus program. This is mainly targeted at the crypto community as they are the ones who can get the most value from it. Thankfully, getting on the crypto bandwagon or wave is now easier than ever.

Industry-Wide Innovation

As mentioned earlier, FoggyStar is not only looking to become a key player in the crypto gambling space but to also innovate for the benefit of the entire industry. To ensure that, the company will be working on the development of additional features. These are geared towards ensuring that future products can work as openly as possible and integrate blockchain at their core.

The industry can certainly use some of that as it will facilitate an increase in user engagement in addition to increasing the level of trust.

“We strive to create not just a product, but to follow the industry trends while bringing the interests of our target audience to the forefront. The project is focused on the users and the security and transparency of the infrastructure that surrounds them. Our team aims to improve the project using innovative technologies and methods that will lead to a completely new game experience.”
The FoggyStar team.

Something that is going to be even more exciting to online gaming enthusiasts is FoggyStars’ plans to be the first online casino in the Metaverse. There is still a lot that needs to be done before that becomes a reality but it is great to see companies are starting to take the concept very seriously. Hopefully, we get to start experiencing their futuristic offerings soon.

Posted on March 3, 2022March 1, 2022 by Aaron Decker

Renowned online gambling solutions provider BGaming has recently announced a lucrative partnership with iSoftBet, a popular online gambling operator. This is a huge move for the company as it works towards its plans to expand its footprint further. As it stands, iSoftBet has a solid reputation in the online gambling space. This should push its efforts to grow a notch higher.

As per the terms of the partnership agreement, BGaming’s solid selection of games will now be available on iSoftBet’s game aggregation platform (GAP). That is very interesting considering the fact that BGaming has recently launched a series of amazing upgrades to its existing titles. These amazing upgrades bring new mechanics and features to popular games like Bonanza Billion, Aztec Megaways and Space XY.

In addition to that, BGaming’s upgrades further make the company’s games accessible to even more players. The total number of new games that iSoftBet will be adding to its catalog stands at over 70 which is very impressive. These will include highly-acclaimed titles like Aloha King Elvis and Fruit Million among others.

Building On a Great Platform

With the new GAP integration, iSoftBet’s content will enjoy a big boost. Already, it is considered to be one of the most dynamic and adaptable markets with the ability to allow different brands to enter regulated markets quickly. That means it takes shorter periods for these brands to begin making money.

For iSoftBet, things are looking up for its massive portfolio of over 150 market-leading titles, its over 4,500 games, 55 of which are from the world’s leading online casino software developers.

“We aim for this partnership with BGaming to deliver the premium gaming experience that we offer our players, whilst maintaining our responsible and professional ethos that makes iSoftBet a leading games supplier.”
Federica Faggiano, Chief Commercial Officer for iSoftBet.

Both companies have their sights set on several new markets across the globe. BGaming, for instance, is on track to receive some licenses and certificates to offer its service in Italy, Portugal, Germany, Spain and a few more countries in Europe.

For slot lovers, this move represents a unique opportunity to experience a massive range of new and existing titles. The market for such games has been growing steadily which hints at a lot of success for both companies once the integrated services rollout. One of the titles that are likely to make some waves will be the extremely volatile Aztec Magic Bonanza.

Playtech will be helping Spinomenal to enhance its robust range of slot offerings. In exchange, it will have access to Spinomenal’s extensive range of slots through a single integration.

Spinomenal also has its sights set on the Latin American market. For that market, it has also partnered with Codere, one of the region’s most reputable iGaming brands. Their partnership is based on delivering a localized experience. This includes the delivery of titles such as En La Vida En La Cancha.

How Online Slots Could Improve in 2022

Posted on January 3, 2022December 30, 2021 by Abe Efe

Online slots remain to be one of the most popular online gambling verticals on the planet. The sector has been improving every single year thanks in large part to how open operators are to embracing innovation and new technologies. Among the biggest improvements that have come to online slots is the adoption of crypto and blockchain. These have pushed the gaming experience to amazing heights while continuing to expand the possibilities of even more improvements.

As we kick off a new year, we expect the online slots sector to continue on its path of stable growth and development. Demand for high-quality games is at an all-time high and this is not likely to slow down anytime soon. That said, we are very excited to see how developers and various iGaming operators will approach the market over the course of the year.

Thankfully, we do not have to speculate too much. There are a few things that we are likely to see in the online slots sector in 2022. They include:

Next-Gen Graphics

Display technology has certainly come a long way. Whether you are using your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer, there have been vast improvements in the display quality. High refresh rate screens that support high dynamic range (HDR) are now very common. The same applies to displays that support 4K and 8K formats.

Now, not many applications have taken full advantage of these capabilities, at least not yet. Given their fast-paced and interactive nature, online slots are the first to come to mind when we think about how iGaming can leverage these impressive display technologies. In 2022, we can expect to see smoother online slot games with even crisper and more colorful graphics. All you need is a modern device which many people already own.

Next-Level Immersion

The first way we can think of the next generation of immersive online slots is with the rapid rise of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. These will allow players to experience the games in a new way. Bridging the gap between the land-based casino experience and online gaming is still a challenge but with these, that dream is a step closer to being achieved.

Another way of achieving next-level immersion that will likely be very prominent in 2022 is live gaming. This is already possible with other types of casino games thanks to the existence of high-speed networks and high-definition streaming technologies. It will be interesting to see how studios go about bringing the same amazing live experiences to slots enthusiasts.

Other notable mentions in this regard include the integration of AI into various online gaming platforms. This will come with a ton of benefits including fraud detection and player protection. We also look forward to seeing more regulatory push as part of the efforts to make online gambling safer for everyone. The popularity of online slots makes it a key area of focus for this.

Crypto Slot Maker BGaming Releases Industry Trends Report

Posted on December 3, 2021December 2, 2021 by Aaron Decker

The gambling sector is one of the most dynamic and rapidly changing industries on the planet. This was confirmed by a recent report from renowned crypto-focused gambling operator BGaming. The report comes after a study that lasted several months and focused on key market trends within the gambling industry.

According to the report, crypto gambling which is one of the fastest-growing trends in iGaming won the market. Over the past year, we have seen a massive upsurge in the amount of interest as well as the popularity of digital currencies. Subsequently, this has led to a massive demand for amazing crypto products. Online gambling services and products were among the top.

Speaking on these findings, Bogdan Gres, Brand Team Lead at BGaming, noted that BGaming certainly has a special interest in emerging trends in the world of crypto gambling. The company boasts of being the first online gambling provider to offer crypto-powered gambling products. However, that is not enough to cut in the very competitive and fast-growing market.

Innovation is very important and for that reason, the company has worked so hard to widen its network of crypto projects. Already the results of those efforts are starting to show. For instance, the number and magnitude of winnings on these projects have risen significantly over the past few months.

All that can partly be attributed to the rise in mobile gambling as well as the growing young adult market. Both have been highlighted in BGaming’s report and represent market trends that just about every gambling operator will need to take very seriously going forward.

A Wider Portfolio of Casino Games

While the report was only announced recently, the gambling operator seems to have been already using insights from its study to grow. In addition to inking several lucrative partnerships across the world, BGaming has also significantly increased the number of slot games in its portfolio.

Recently-launched titles such as Zorro Wild Heart, the multi-skin edition of Fruit Million slot and Road2Richs slot are just a few of the ways the company is advancing its plans. Its new partners who include the likes of BC.GAME, Wild Tornado and VBET will play a huge role in further growth.

For players, this means more variety than ever before. Crypto enthusiasts are also bound to benefit from this. Online gambling has been at the forefront of pushing crypto closer to mainstream adoption. This makes BGaming’s efforts vital to the future of both online gambling and the crypto ecosystem.

Mastercard Partners with Bakkt for Crypto Payments

Posted on November 3, 2021November 3, 2021 by Abe Efe

Crypto has been slowly inching towards mainstream adoption. A lot of progress has been made in that regard but that is just the beginning. There are still lots of parties that need to come on board to push the payments revolution further forward. The most recent player in the financial industry that is warming up to digital currencies is Mastercard.

Thanks to a recent partnership with fast-rising digital assets platform Bakkt, Mastercard’s partners will now be able to issue crypto-branded debit and credit cards. The company’s robust and vast payment network will let its users buy, sell and even hold digital assets. Bakkt will be providing the custodial wallets that will make all that possible.

At the surface level, consumers now have the chance to use crypto like never before. These crypto cards will be accepted at Mastercard-friendly outlets. At these places, the digital assets held by the consumers will be exchanged for fiat before the point of purchase which lets them get more choice and value.

“Together with Bakkt and grounded by our principled approach to innovation, we’ll not only empower our partners to offer a dynamic mix of digital assets options, but also deliver differentiated and relevant consumer experiences.”
Sherri Haymond, executive vice president, Digital Partnerships at Mastercard.

To make it even better, Mastercard also plans to integrate the digital assets into its existing loyalty solutions. This means that, aside from being able to spend their crypto, the consumers will also earn crypto rewards.

Good News for Crypto Gambling?

The world of online gambling is not particularly new to crypto-powered payments. There are even online casinos that are built entirely around digital currencies. Even so, the move by Mastercard presents a unique opportunity for even more growth in the use of crypto in iGaming spaces.

The fact that both companies are committed to growing the crypto ecosystem is very impressive, to say the least. It will be interesting to see all this is implemented in the online gambling platforms that currently accept Mastercard as a payment method.

Naturally, given the reputation of Mastercard, some things might not be carried over from the other kinds of crypto use. For instance, anonymity will likely not be a key consideration as Mastercard is usually linked to bank accounts. Aspects such as speed and low-cost transactions, on the other hand, could still stick around.

All in all, this is an impressive move and we cannot wait to see what comes of it in the long run. Everyone has very high hopes for it.

Stakelogic’s Other Expansion Plans

While the partnership between Stakelogic and BetCity is very exciting, there is even more to look forward to. Stakelogic has been very aggressive with its expansion plans.
