Aviatrix

Entry statement

Aviatrix is a pioneering NFT-based online casino game designed to boost player engagement via innovative new gaming mechanics. Its rapid growth over the past few months in markets around the world have shown that a completely new type of casino game can make a significant impact in a sector traditionally dominated by similar looking slots and table games.

Building upon the popularity of ‘crash’ games, where players are challenged to ‘cash out’ before an aircraft crashes to the ground to win a multiple of their stake, Aviatrix brings a game that has long been popular among crypto gamers to a far wider audience.

The game has been live for less than a year, but is already attracting more than 22,000 daily active players, making it a global sensation that is outperforming many of the best known slot games in the world.

A new experience
Aviatrix is an entirely new type of online casino game focused on delivering a game-changing experience to players and greater loyalty to operators.

By incorporating first-of-its-kind mechanics and features directly into the gameplay, including allowing players to create and customise their own NFT aircraft, Aviatrix is bringing both blockchain and console gaming sensibilities to the online casino space, with impressive results.

Aviatrix is engaging with players who do not traditionally pick online casino games as a form of entertainment, including the significant crypto and NFT trading categories. Its impact on the blockchain sector is so significant that the native chain upon which it sits has quickly grown to become one of the most active in the world.

Mechanics / Features
Crash games have traditionally been simple affairs, with basic graphics and game mechanics. Aviatrix introduces the next generation of crash titles by bringing AAA blockbuster sensibilities to the genre for the first time. These include:

NFT-based loyalty and engagement - Players can select, build and customise their very own plane with which to play the game. This includes everything from changing the colour to customising the body and parts of the aircraft. The planes will soon be available as tradeable on-chain NFTs, although they are integrated into Aviatrix in such a way that it won’t impact those players with no interest in the blockchain element. Players can also see other active Aviatrix users’ planes while they play, creating an interesting social element to the gameplay.

Regular tournaments - The more a player uses their plane in Aviatrix, the more experience points they will earn. These points not only unlock new customisation options, but also qualify players for regular leaderboard-style tournaments where they can win additional prizes on top of their gameplay. There are also daily cashback rewards using pool mechanics.

Operator branding - Operators can fully brand Aviatrix to make it look like a native title, including their logo and colours on planes and other in-game assets. Aviatrix players who have built their plane at another operator will soon be able to use the same plane when playing at a different brand that also offers the game.

Regular updates - Unlike most online casino games, Aviatrix is a living product that is regularly updated with fresh content and features. This gives users additional reasons to continue to return to the game. The most recent update (July 31) added new functionality such as animation of the winnings of peer airplanes as well as new notifications about the technical problems.

Performance
Aviatrix is already an award-winning title, being named a ‘Hackathon Winner’ (Binance Smart Chain), ‘Unique Selling Point’ (SiGMA Balkans & CIS Awards), ‘Emerging Startup of the Year’ (SPiCE India Awards), Best NFT Community of the Year (SiGMA Eurasia) and ‘NFT Project of the Year’ (SiGMA Americas Gaming Awards).

The game is now live with a fast-growing range of operator and aggregator partners, including: BetConstruct, Qtech, Gamingtec, Reevo, Games Global, Soft2Bet,VBet, 1win, Uplatform, Leon.bet, FavBet, Slotegrator, Pin-Up Casino, ST8, Parimatch, Infingame, Mostbet, Pokerdom, Everymatrix, Quantum, Slotegrator, Emara Play, Anakatech and more.

Aviatrix is currently in the process of applying for gaming supplier licences in: Malta, UK, Romania Italy, Greece and Sweden. Aviatrix is expected to grow significantly in regulated European markets in 2024 as a result.

Aviatrix runs on our own proprietary blockchain, Scorum (SCR). Such is the level of activity on the game, that SCR is currently the eighth most active blockchain in the world, according to data from Blocktivity, with average daily transactions of around 800,000.

Aviatrix recently launched a 600,000 euro network tournament aimed at supporting operators offering our game. The tournament is expected to significantly increase active players across our operator partners. In September, a one million euro network tournament will debut for the first time.

More than 300,000 NFT aircraft have been created and the biggest individual win from a flight is in excess of 350,000 euros. Daily active users in June 2023 topped 21,000. By June 2023, more than 1.1 million individual flights (rounds) had been played.

Aviatrix monthly active users in June 2023 was 267,364. This compared to 59,114 active users in October 2022. This makes it one of the fastest growing online casino games in the world operating at significant scale.

In June 2023, NGR experienced a general increase of 142 percent, highlighting the rapid growth in popularity of the game as it is rolled out to new operators and finds new audiences.

Funky Time

Entry statement

Funky Time from Evolution is a thrilling live online game show, the biggest and boldest we have ever created. This distinctive retro 1970s disco-inspired game show is the next generation in the money wheel family of games, attracting a wide variety of players with 4 thrilling bonus rounds, huge multipliers, and a chance for players to get involved at every spin of the wheel. Unlike other money wheel games, this game has been created totally in-house from the DigiWheel money wheel to the catchy music tracks you hear, which were recorded and created by us – Evolution is truly bringing boogie back!

Funky Time, created exclusively by Evolution, is a multi-layered, bonus and multiplier-packed 70s disco-themed game show that redefines Live Casino, incorporating a mix of complex technology alongside catchy disco beats and daring dance floor moves! The unique mix of Live Casino, RNG, bingo, slots-style multipliers, blue screen, and augmented reality technology provides something completely new in the market.

Funky Time is an all-new edition based on our Crazy Time game concept and the most popular game in live casino but with a totally unique stylised studio and bonus games. At the heart of the funktastic action is the unique DigiWheel, the first to be used in an Evolution live casino game, which dynamically generates several random multipliers in each round, plus four unique Bonus games —Bar, Stayin’ Alive, Disco, and VIP Disco. The game has attracted huge interest from players and operators alike, and more and more are finding their way to this game!

In each round of Funky Time, players bet on which segment they think the wheel will stop at after it is spun. Unlike other money wheel games, the unique digital wheel itself randomly generates multipliers and assigns to random segments on the wheel (whilst being spun!) to increase player anticipation, like never before! Players either bet on the number ‘1’, 12 different letter segments (all of which come in a 25:1, massively increasing players’ chances of winning) or on the four bonus games - Bar, Stayin’ Alive, Disco, and VIP Disco.

Funky Time offers a fresh and dynamic way of betting, combined with endless entertainment and multiple cutting-edge technologies together in one game, including Random Number Generator (RNG) multipliers up to 10,000x, augmented reality, slots-style and bingo elements.

This complex game built entirely by Evolution includes:

A 1970s disco-themed custom-built studio

Custom-built bouncing ball machine

Blue screen technology

Our first money wheel game to utilise the DigiWheel technology, with an incredible 7ft tall DigiWheel with built-in video

Unique soundtrack made by the Evolution team in-house

Gold Blitz™

Entry statement

Fortune Factory Studios was founded by a core team of seasoned game development professionals known for producing successful titles in both traditional video gaming and land-based slot gaming.

With a back-catalogue of catchy titles already distributed exclusive via Games Global’s platform, Fortune Factory made a whole load more noise in December 2022 with the release of Gold Blitz™ - a game that has gone on to be the top game across all markets.

The team set out to create a classic casino slot game with a novel, modern thematic twist and an exceptionally high-energy presentation and marry it to an eventful math model that kept players not only engaged, but coming back for more. They certainly did that – and then some!

Taking their hit Gold Blitz™ instant cash collection mechanic, which first made its name within their successful June 2022 release Mask of Amun™, the team brought in energetic, polished visuals and an electrifying new theme into the mix. The result? A six-reel, high-volatility slot with 4096 ways to win in both the base game and free spins, which delivers a unique, high-energy experience that carries the player along a continuum of constantly fluctuating events. Gold Blitz™ is the best performing game ever released on the Games Global platform.

The base game features a stacked high pay chase, along with cash and jackpot awards that can be won instantly on any spin. Players have the choice of two free spins features with very different gameplay experiences catering to those looking for different risk and reward profiles, offering a tailored experience. The game’s two player-favourite mechanics, instant cash collects and stacked symbols with multiplier wilds, are each given unique focus in the two respective bonus features, with more scatters correlating to more spins and bigger rewards in the player’s feature choice!

As for art and sound direction, the studio’s goal was to create a modern ‘video game inspired’ mobile slot experience with responsive, considered audio and visuals. While the game’s iconography of has a traditional underlying casino theme with clean vector art stylings, all the visuals reference ‘lightning’ and ‘electricity’, and there is a subtle heavy metal, ‘glam rock’ personality injected into every detail. Visuals are continually changing leaving players feeling like they are in constant motion, with visual effects increase along with winning events. In all, the design is polished and slick for an all-round premium experience. This high-quality is reflected no matter the player’s platform preference, with desktop and mobile releases optimised for both landscape and portrait orientations.

The studio’s sound designer had a blast embracing an 80’s rock vibe for the soundtrack; Even the win count-up features a screaming electric guitar riff! The player’s journey through a session is accompanied by variations in levels and complexity with the energy level always high, building anticipation.

During development, the team’s (hugely apt) moto was ‘Turn it up to 11’. This meant constantly pushing energy levels, pacing, excitement, and visuals further than their experience would normally say is too far – and this passion and drive comes across in every carefully-considered element. The team came together across all disciplines to create innovative visuals and a hard rockin’ soundtrack that complemented the frequent anticipation, near-miss, and winning events in the game’s excellent maths design. Each bonus feature has its own distinct personality, but both are heart-stopping, toe-tapping events!

Geographically , Gold Blitz™ has been Fortune Factory’s most successful releases to date, with extensive distribution across all major regulated markets and is fully translated into 34 languages.

Gold Blitz™ was a smash hit for Games Global – reaching significant customer uptake in less than 30 days of global release. By mid-January, the game had smashed KPIs for wagering and revenue – early indication of its incredibly success. Eight months on, this rocking number retains a strong chart position, and shows no signs of slipping.

The impact of Gold Blitz™ transcends its own incredible performance; the game inspired Fortune Factory to explore new and experimental music and visuals styles they may otherwise have thought too niche for traditional slot players.

Since its release, Fortune Factory has gone on to create new and bespoke iterations of the title. Galloping Gold Blitz™ was released exclusively for Entain players in time for Cheltenham and the global follow-up release of Blazing Bison™ Gold Blitz™ (23 May 2023) is among the top games ever produced via the Games Global platform!

Overall, Gold Blitz™ perfectly balances a strong base game with two unique bonus features, jackpot wins and win multipliers to deliver lucrative win potential. Add to that its high-energy audio/visuals complementing frequent gaming events and you have a gaming experience that entertains and retains players. Gold Blitz™ holds the title of best game ever produced on the Games Global platform with engaging follow-ups already delighting players – a performance worthy of rapturous applause!

Charming Lady™’s Boom

Entry statement

Greentube, the NOVOMATIC Gaming and Entertainment division, has continued to grow at pace in the last twelve months as it continues to deliver premium slot content to players in key regulated markets around the world.

As industry leaders it is imperative that we are constantly striving for success as we evolve and expand with the ever-changing market climate. We are wholly committed to better meeting our clients’ needs and to foster further innovation in the industry.

Our desire for continued success runs deep through the entire company, especially our game development department, and has seen us deliver a whole host of top-performing games including Charming Lady™’s Boom, one of Greentube’s most successful releases during the judging period.

Key Statistics
During the judging period, Charming Lady™’s Boom reported the following:

• 196,000 active players on 118 sites

• Available in 19 key markets worldwide

• Saw on average 300 game rounds per player during its first 12 weeks (in comparison to 150 game rounds on similar titles during the same time period) • €55 million euros staked on the game since release

• Average GGR of 2.9 million euros during its first 12 weeks

Following on from 2020 hit Cash Connection™ - Charming Lady™, everyone’s favourite fortune teller returned this year to great fanfare in Charming Lady’s Boom.

Charming Lady’s Boom is a high volatility 5-reel, 10 payline slot developed by Greentube that sees players unlock the treasures of the Boom Feature with a host of impressive cash prizes and fixed jackpots starting at 3,000x player’s stake.

The primary feature in this innovative title is the Boom Feature. Triggered when six or more Boom Bonus (scatter) symbols land, the feature sees the game reel expand to a total of seven reels, each of which features five individual spinning positions. The feature will begin with two Boom Pays on reels 3 and 5 and the number of initial Boom Spins is the same number of triggering Boom Bonus symbols.

After each and every spin during the Boom Feature, new symbols are held and recombined automatically in order to ensure that the best Boom Pay possible is achievable. The Boom Feature will only come to an end when either no Boom Spins remain or when all 35 positions on the game’s reels have been covered.

During the Boom Feature players can be in with a chance of triggering one of the game’s four jackpots - the MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and GRAND.

Improved offering
Our Game Design and Portfolio department has had a busy year, producing games of the highest quality that suit specific market requirements and partner needs. We have released a series of successful, modern titles that have each vastly contributed to our consistent month-on-month growth and raised the bar in slot provision.

Some of the best-performing titles released during the judging period were part of our Diamond Link™ series that has been a real hit with players. The innovative Diamond Link™ feature gives players the chance to win one of four jackpots and take home huge winnings by way of impressive bonus features.

Greentube’s Cash Connection™ series is another that has gained plenty of positive attention from operators and players alike during the judging period. Cash Connection™ – Voodoo Magic™ saw its network release in October 2022 and has occupied the top spots of casino lobbies ever since.

Continued growth
During the judging period, we have taken our content live in 36 key regulated markets worldwide including North America, Latin America and Europe, including making our debut in two regions.

In August 2022, Greentube received its Ontario licence, allowing players in the province the opportunity to enjoy our games via Entain. The turn of the year saw us further our North American expansion by gaining our Online Gaming Service Provider licence from the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.

Other key commercial deals have seen Greentube’s content go live with operators in Michigan, Peru, Italy, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

We strongly believe that localised content is the best approach when tackling a market and over the last 12 months, this is an area that we have focused a lot of time and resources on. We have recently announced several acquisitions and joint ventures with emerging studios that have allowed us to create new and exciting content for players.

In October, Greentube acquired development studio Present Creative in order to further expand its presence in the United States. This was followed by Greentube acquiring a 40% stake in Flamingocatz, a games developer established to bring disruptive slot titles to the Americas through innovative mathematics, unique design and a clear mission to entertain.

This demonstrates Inspired’s consistent growth and commercial successes, particularly across the Company's digital businesses, which include its Interactive segments (iGaming), which achieved an annual increase of 28%.

Golden Winner
Packed with big wins, fun features and thrilling gameplay Golden Winner™, is the online and mobile version of Inspired’s top performing retail slot, Gold Winner™. Its launch forms part of Inspired’s growing portfolio of premium, omni-channel content.

With a reel configuration of 5×3 and 10 win-lines, Golden Winner was developed by Inspired’s Bell-Fruit studio, showcasing classic casino-style symbols. Landing three Bonus scatters in the base game triggers the game’s thrilling Free Spins Bonus round with a minimum of 10 initial Free Spins. Adding to the game’s excitement, the Bonus round encompasses a progressive trail which moves forward with each golden bell the player achieves. The Golden Bells also collect all the values from the golden cherry symbols in view.

The trail consists of 12 increments, partitioned into three enhanced re-trigger stages. Reaching each stage on the progressive trail awards the player an extra 10 free spins and an increase in cherry value multipliers for big cash collection wins.

Dependent on the jurisdiction, Inspired’s additional features can be selected in-game, including Fortune Spins and Fortune Bet offering innovative and alternative gameplays to the game’s standard base game spins..

Fortune Spins activates the game’s cash collector mechanics, which can be played at any stake and removes all symbols except the golden cherries, Bonus and golden bell symbols. Acting as the Wild and the Cash Collector, the bell symbols, award the player with potentially big wins! Fortune Bet allows the player to select a new bet multiplier at 1.5X the current stake, changing the bonus symbols into super-sized golden bars. This exciting functionality gives the player a higher chance of entering the Free Spins Bonus round upon landing one supersize symbol or three or more bars partially in view.

Additionally, the game’s Gamble feature is also available to players, offering them the chance to increase winnings by playing for cash or free spins.

To meet Operator requirements, Golden Winner was developed with two RTP options: a 94.5% offering medium volatility and a 92% version with lower volatility. Both offer players a casual iGaming experience.

Desert Fantasy


Entry statement

Cascade games have been the most popular playstyle of iLottery game for almost three years now, but there has never been a Cascade game like NeoGames Studio’s Desert Fantasy.

The game has brought in results that surpassed any eInstant game launched in the North American market in the last few years, with no game generating as much total betting activity as Desert Fantasy has since it first launched. In the ~10 months that the game has been live, across all markets, it has generated over $590m in bets and $58.2m in GGR, reaching over 300,000 unique players.

At Virginia Lottery, Desert Fantasy (named “The Lamp”) proved to be the lottery’s most successful game launch of all time. 30 days post-launch, The Lamp held the record for the most profitable game ever in Virginia, with total purchases exceeding $40 million, outperforming the game that held 2nd place by more than 200%. In the months following the launch, The Lamp is maintaining this margin over all other games.

Earlier this year, Desert Fantasy took home the GOLD prize for Best New Game at the EGR North America Awards.

The game brings together many well-established features in a novel combination: Prize Multipliers, Free Spins, Big Instant-Win Symbols, a Bonus Game, and 3 Progressive Jackpots. Not only is the game loaded with popular features, but it showcases them with industry-leading artwork and animation centered around an instantly recognizable character: the Genie.

Genies are associated with both good luck and fortunes, which Desert Fantasy has proven to deliver in all the markets where it was launched: Virginia, Michigan, New Hampshire, Alberta, and several European markets. The rich character artwork and game design are sure to stand out, capture a player’s interest, and keep them entertained.

Also, in the markets where the game has launched with Progressive Jackpots, we have worked with our lottery partners to customize/localize the Jackpot names to best resonate with their players (Championship Jackpots in Virginia, and Rocky Mountain Riches Jackpots in Alberta).

The primary target audience for Desert Fantasy is VIP Players. This audience enjoys themes that evoke feelings of wealth, they particularly love Cascade games with Progressive Jackpots, and they seek out play experiences with a variety of ways to win, so that they don’t get bored over many, many rounds. Desert Fantasy strategically checks off all those boxes, with the primary objective of driving MASSIVE GGR.

As a Cascade game, in each round, the symbols drop onto the board, and players win by matching a cluster of 3 or more like symbols that share a vertical or horizontal side. Every winning cluster is removed from the board, and more symbols fall in to replace them, creating the chance for a cascade of multiple wins.

Players can also win by revealing:
 - Multiplier symbols that increase the value of cluster wins

- Big Symbols that are equal to a cluster of 4, that can form larger clusters with matching adjacent symbols

- 3 Magic Lamp symbols anywhere on the board to automatically activate 10 Free Plays for a guaranteed prize, or

- 3 Treasure Chest symbols anywhere on the board to enter and play the Jackpot Bonus, where players have the chance to win one of the 3 Progressive Jackpots

Innovation is seen in several facets of the game. Not only does it feature the highest quality of artwork that the studio has ever produced, but the background and game symbols are brought to life by subtle, all-time animations that sway, twinkle, and shimmer. The Genie character himself is not a permanent fixture in the design, and he only shows up on Big Wins and when winning features are activated… making him rarer and more exciting when he appears. Who would have guessed that NOT showing the main character all the time in a character-driven game would be so impactful?

Payouts vary between lotteries, and Desert Fantasy has launched as low as 85% RTP, and as high as 96% RTP. Between all RTP models, the odds of winning the game range from the high 3s to the low 4s, fairly in line with other popular Cascade prize structures. The game features over 600 unique prize tiers, based on different features and symbol-matching wins, which allows for a novel winning experience every time a prize is won.

The Genie and the 3 Progressive Jackpots are certainly Desert Fantasy’s strongest elements when it comes to marketing appeal. The Genie is charming and evokes feelings of wealth and good luck – a player sees the Genie and instantly connects with the aesthetics of the game, in a way that makes them feel like they can win.

“Winnability” of small prizes is important to keep players engaged over many rounds as they seek the larger prizes, and the Progressive Jackpots have the potential to reach higher values than the static top prizes of most other games. When the jackpot value crosses that key threshold of being greater than all other static top prizes, it is the most eye-catching element in an entire games lobby. Jackpot values grow and fall, and with each new jackpot that rises comes an opportunity to re-engage players with an exciting winning proposition.

It is known that a “good game” needs to contain only very good gaming ingredients. A “very good game” should contain those very good gaming ingredients, blended together in a very good way. A SUPERIOR game on the other hand – a game that pops up in the market only once in a couple of years, must not only contain very good ingredients that blend together well (as in the “very good games”), but it must also have that very rare spark that nobody can determine in advance, a spark that makes the game superior to all other games – it is this spark that magically appears in Desert Fantasy and makes it so exponentially successful.

The NeoGames Studio is our in-house games studio and holds over 16 years of experience in supplying eInstants to lotteries worldwide.

Gerard’s Gambit

Entry statement

Gerard’s Gambit is a brand new approach to casino entertainment design from the studio which delivered the world’s most popular online slot, Book of Dead.

Released in regulated markets worldwide at the end of April, 2023, Gerard’s Gambit is an industry-first game that combines in-depth gameplay with a strong educational focus created to appeal to players that may be intimidated by the often complex nature of online slot games.

Power of narrative
No other games studio creates engaging worlds through the power of narrative quite like Play’n GO. Gerard’s Gambit expands upon the same in-game universe as Book of Dead. Gerard’s Gambit was conceived and delivered by Play’n GO’s team of dedicated storytellers, who think deeply about how to push the boundaries of narrative within online slots.

This time, Gerard Wilde, the black sheep of the renowned Wilde Family, sets off on a journey of discovery and redemption to reclaim the honour of his family name. Players join Gerard in his quest for riches and mysteries from the dunes of Egypt to the lost temples of the Mexican rainforests. And of course the ride is often a little bumpy, with Gerard risking everything to restore his reputation and become recognised as more than just the family’s wild(e) card.

Educational gameplay
We wanted to make Gerard’s Gambit accessible to new players who might not be familiar with some of the more complex gameplay mechanics sometimes found in online slots.

To achieve this, we’ve designed a learning curve that serves as an introduction to slots gameplay for beginners. We’re calling it the industry’s very first educational slot game.

This means walking new players through the basics, such as how paylines work, how symbols work and how features are triggered, all while doing so in a way that is still entertaining. In-game prompts explain each stage of the journey to the players, setting bitesize objectives along the way, just as you might see in the opening tutorial section of an AAA video game. This isn’t a lecture, it’s a great gaming experience where the player is eased into more complex gameplay mechanics.

We were inspired to create Gerard’s Gambit by the land-based industry in Las Vegas. Walk around a casino on the strip during quieter times, and you might see dealers hosting introductions to slots to new players, explaining how the games work, basic strategy and more. These players can then enjoy the games themselves for the rest of the trip with a newfound confidence. No equivalent existed in the online space, until Gerard’s Gambit.

Feature-packed
Gerard’s Gambit is one of the most feature-rich games Play’n GO - or any games studio - has ever created. As well as serving as an introduction to new players, we wanted to build a game with staying power, which rewards our most loyal fans with a depth of gameplay never before seen.

For veteran players, this represents story advancement and gives them a different way to play than they’ll be used to. Across 10 distinct levels, Gerard’s Gambit provides an obvious sense of progression for those who want to dig a little deeper.

These features include:
Expanding Reel. When a player starts playing Gerard’s Gambit, the first reel is a simple 3x1 setup with one payline. To progress on to higher levels, the player must complete a set objective. As players progress through the levels, the reel itself expands to a 3x2, a 3x3, a 4x3 and finally a 5x3.

Gamble. On each winning spin, players have the option to gamble their winnings. They are able to select one of three different gamble features that can multiply winnings by up to 10x.

Multiplier Wheel. Choosing the Multiplier Wheel triggers a spin that can lead to a multiplying of winnings by 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x or 10x depending on the odds selected by the player and where the wheel lands.

Hi-lo. For the Hi-lo gamble option, players are presented with one randomly selected card, face up. They then simply have to guess whether the next card will be higher or lower for a 2x multiplier, and then higher or lower than that card for a 4x.

Coin Flip. When playing the Coin Flip gamble, players choose heads or tails three times. Each concurrent and correct guess will add 2x to the multiplier for the win, up to 8x.

Re-Spins. Starting from Level 3, players can trigger a Re-Spin by landing two Wild symbols on the reels. Those Wilds will then become sticky for the Re-Spin. Once players hit Level 4, they can re-trigger that Re-Spin if they land another Wild.

Free Spin Scatters. On Levels 6, 8 and 10, players will get the chance to unlock the thrilling Free Spins round. During the free spins round all Wild Symbols are sticky and each scatter gives +1 Free Spin.

Bonus Scatters. During Levels 5, 7, and 9, instead of the Free Spins Scatters being active, players will be able to land the Bonus Scatters. Depending on level, this presents an opportunity for multipliers ranging from 20x all the way up to 100x.

Commercial success
Since its launch at the end of April, 2023, Gerard’s Gambit has already emerged as one of Play’n GO’s best performing titles.

Play’n GO is active in more than 25 regulated markets globally, and Gerard’s Gambit is ranking particularly well in many of these, including the UK, Spain, Italy and Sweden.

In the US, where Play’n GO is growing rapidly in those states which have regulated online casino - including New Jersey and Michigan - Gerard’s Gambit’s educational focus is providing an opportunity for operators to better cross-sell players into slots and return a greater LTV on high acquisition costs.

Gold Rush: Cash Collect™

Entry statement

One of the most successful reality television franchises of the 21st Century meets the hottest property in slot games with Cash Collect: Gold Rush – the latest branded game in Playtech’s Cash Collect power suite.

Hot on the heels of Cash Collect: The Walking Dead, Cash Collect: Gold Rush™ launched in late January 2023 following an exclusive agreement with Discovery. Following its premiere in 2010, Gold Rush quickly became the US’s most watched Friday night TV show with the valuable 18 – 49 year old male demographic. Focusing on families working in the gold mining industry across Alaska and Canada, the show began its 13th season in 2022, remaining one of the top-rated reality shows in the US and inspiring a series of successful spin-offs along the way.

Meanwhile, since becoming an instant hit following the launch of Sahara Riches in 2021, Cash Collect has grown into one of the industry’s most successful brands, with Sahara Riches and Leprechaun’s Luck becoming Playtech’s top-performing new titles of 2021 and 2022 respectively. The combination of the brand power and player loyalty potential of an internationally successful IP and a leading original slot concept creates the perfect opportunity for operators to attract and retain two distinct audiences.

Now, Gold Rush is the latest instant hit for the suite. Within just 14 days on general release (8 – 22 December), the game had achieved a Market Share of 6.51% – in 10th place overall amongst Playtech, and was ranked seventh in terms of Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) – by some distance the newest title to make the top 10 for either statistic. Only Sahara Riches and Leprechaun’s Luck – the two most established and successful Cash Collect™ games – outperformed Gold Rush across the suite during this period.

Since its initial release, Gold Rush has continued to be a top performer, with an average daily turnover of €1.1m and, most significantly, a market share of 2.05% in all markets where live – the highest for any new release in the past 12 months. The game’s key market to date is the UK, which accounts for 39% of its turnover, followed by Italy on 16%, with Scandinavia, Spain, Brazil, Switzerland, Eastern Europe and Canada among the other markets where it has made a significant impact. The success of Gold Rush has led to it being selected as the flagship title for the launch of the Cash Collect™ suite in the key US market.

About the game
The Cash Collect symbol is the driving force behind the gameplay in this feature-rich slot. Deep in the gold mine, players can uncover in-game cash prizes – including the fixed Grand, Major, Minor and Mini prize pots – Free Games, Gold Wilds and, most importantly, Cash Collect symbols. When combined with a Cash Collect symbol, prizes and Free Games are awarded to the player, with the opportunity to win several prizes on a single spin.

When a player lands any Cash Collect symbol, they will collect any on-screen cash amounts, fixed in-game prizes and “+” (e.g. +5) symbols. The last of these dictates the number of Free Games the player wins.

In the Free Games, Cash Collect symbols move on each spin to keep win potential high, before eventually exiting the reels. If a player lands an arrow symbol, this resets the Cash Collect symbols to their original position, keeping them on the reels for longer.

Additionally, the main game features two special features – the Nudge feature, which can move Cash Collect symbols onto the reels and turn a losing spin into a winning one, and the Pay Dirt feature, where a digger drops extra prize symbols and Wilds onto the reels at random. Various members of the Gold Rush crew pop up during gameplay with commentary, adding an extra sense of engagement.

Key operator benefits
The ongoing development of brands such as Cash Collect is a key part of Playtech’s “power suite” game development strategy. Power suites are designed to combine the best in innovative slot design and mechanics with a distinctive narrative, look and feel to engage players with a brand. Players look forward to new releases within the suite, while operators can build on that anticipation with innovative marketing techniques.

Playtech’s Casino game portfolio has always featured a mix of original properties developed in-house and games based on major TV and film licences. However, the launch of Gold Rush and The Walking Dead games within the Cash Collect suite marks the first time Playtech’s own brands and external licences have been combined. The combination of the brand power and player loyalty potential of an internationally successful IP and a leading original slot concept creates the perfect opportunity for operators to attract and retain two distinct audiences.

Gold Rush: Cash Collect Scratch
Gold Rush: Cash Collect™ is also available as a scratch card, enabling operators to engage players from outside the traditional slot game audience, building on the value and popularity of the Gold Rush brand.

Each card offers three different games featuring the show’s talent, plus the Cash Collect™ bonus:
• Find Tony – Uncover two or more images of Tony Beets to claim a prize
• Beat Fred – Reveal a set of four numbers and score a higher number than Fred Lewis in any column to win.
• Match 2 – Match two numbers in any column to win. Featuring show star Rick Ness.

Land three or more Cash Collect™ symbols across all games to trigger the bonus.

Both when building Dream Drop Jackpots and Money Train 3, the development teams left no stone unturned in market research. Digging through player feedback across different forums, streamer content, and community sites, the team meticulously analysed every ounce of criticism to use as a springboard for success - the results are testimony to this extensive fieldwork. The fan base of the Money Train franchise is like nothing the company had ever experienced, with players and streamers repeatedly requesting a third installation.

The team looked to the feedback of the record-breaking Money Train prequels to identify areas of improvement and use their players as a source of inspiration.

Rather than simply deactivating the feature, the team was eager to have the players’ needs met in a game that provides all the thrills, cutting edge visuals and sound, and superior slot experience that the Money Train franchise is all about. Compared to its Money Train counterpart, players spend more time in the re-spins section in Money Cart 3, where the mighty special symbols steal the show alongside regular cash symbols. It packs a punch and makes for a justified spin off despite the market restrictions.

This game is a favourite amongst the market and in just 4 months it garnered over 454k unique players! Money Train 3 continues to enjoy high player rates to this day, echoing the true value vested in listening to player feedback.

The production has seen phenomenal results that demonstrate the value vested in listening to feedback.

Aviator

Entry statement

SPRIBE has been on a mission throughout 2023 to disrupt the iGaming space. Leading our charge has been our flagship crash game, Aviator. Aviator has experienced great success throughout 2023, with its innovative gameplay, social mechanics and user-friendly interface now available at over 2,000 casinos in over 20 regulated markets.

With Aviator, our goal was to create a game that felt exciting and new but also familiar to an entire generation of players. There is a huge gap in the market for mobile-friendly games that appeal to GenY/Z and millennial players, and Aviator has arrived to fill that gap.

Aviator’s popularity has soared over the last 12 months. It is now played by over 10,000,000 people worldwide, and that number is only continuing to grow. Aviator can handle up to 10,000 bets simultaneously, with over 165,000 bets being placed around the globe every minute.

A big reason for Aviator’s success lies in its simplicity. We have focused on creating a game that connects with a Gen Y/Z and millennial audience but is also accessible for everyone The simple red and black design of the game is easy on the eye, and the uncluttered control panel under the action allows players to adjust their stakes and place their bets with ease.

We placed a big emphasis on mobile gaming capabilities, understanding that this is the way that Gen Y/Z and millennial players prefer to play. Of course, we also ensured that the game offered an equally as exciting experience when played on desktop devices.

The action itself is easy to follow and fast-paced. Players wager their money, and within a matter of seconds, the round is starting. Once they have cashed out and the round has finished, the option to place a bet for the next round is presented.

One of the many ways we wanted Aviator to stand out from traditional slot games was by giving players a sense of control over the action. The game uses an innovative mechanic called the ‘approaching curve’. This gives players the power to cash out when needed, with no delays or lag. The fast turn-around and instant cash-outs keep the action rolling, ensuring the game never loses momentum and players are always entertained.

Underpinning this exciting gameplay is the inclusion of social elements, something which has further helped the game establish itself as a top choice among Gen Y/Z and millennial players. Players can watch other bets being placed on the left-hand side of the screen in real-time and are free to interact with other players. Once a player has cashed out their bet, they can continue to watch the action and see how others perform.

There is also a treasure chest of statistics from previous game rounds to dive into. This allows players to check their performance, monitor their spending, and see how others have performed. All of this, combined with the aforementioned social elements, has created a sense of community around Aviator, with the game being one of the hottest topics in the iGaming industry throughout 2023.

Aviator is not just an innovative game, it is also one that has achieved huge commercial success over the last 12 months. We have secured key licensing permits in regulated markets, allowing us to take the game to more players than ever before. The product also reaps huge rewards for operators, with a full game launch generating at least a 10% monthly increase in gross gaming revenue. Additionally, it's an amazing acquisitional and cross selling product.

As a result, demand for the game continues to grow. We are currently seeing a 20% operator number growth per quarter, a number that will only continue to trend upwards.

The game doesn’t just appear in a casino lobby and wait for customers to come either. We work closely with operators to attract customers and ensure they have the best experience when playing. This is achieved through a back-office that allows operators to tweak promotions and offer players free flights and sample the game before continuing to involve.

This is only the start, with the ceiling for what Aviator can achieve being much higher than a standard slot game. It is a product that is continuing to evolve, and we have plans to introduce more community features, engagement tools, and competitive elements, all of which will put the title in even higher demand.

There has been no game in the iGaming industry in 2023 that has sought to innovate and change the way people approach online gaming like Aviator. We believe that the game’s simple but effective gameplay, fast-paced action, and social engagement make it the perfect candidate to be recognised by EGR as the Game of the Year.
