Virtual sports a winning bet in Asia

BETRADAR

One of the biggest developments Betradar made in Asia this year was the launch of their new virtual Asian Cup. The product added to a growing list of virtual sports Betradar offer, including Virtual Football and Virtual Basketball.

Like the company’s successful virtual football World Cup in 2018, the Asian Cup featured the same group and knockout stages as the real-life competition, plus all 24 Asian Cup 2019 teams, with Asian odds visualization, multiple localisation options and was available in a range of local languages.

The company’s Managing Director of Gaming, Frank Wenzig says virtual Gaming Solutions continue to grow in popularity across Asia.

“This is one of the reasons why we continue to invest heavily in enhancing and expanding our Gaming Solutions portfolio on an ongoing basis,” Wenzig says.

“We’re seeing a lot of take-up in regions across Asia with our virtual products. It was really good to see the virtual Asian Cup prove popular. Like all of our solutions, the realistic matches, betting markets and competition mechanics create an environment that engages punters and lets them place bets as they do in real sports.

“We’re really looking forward to unveiling our next products in this space, with Virtual Baseball In-Play later this year and Virtual Cricket In-Play next year. As such a diverse and expansive region, it’s really important to offer a product that will appeal to the local market. With baseball big in Japan and cricket big in India, for example, our two new products will be a great way for clients to really engage customers.”

Another reason Betradar’s Gaming Solutions are so successful is because of their focus on reality, both in terms of look and feel and betting experience.

“We maintain a focus on realism across all of our gaming solutions, using high-tech Motion Capture and our comprehensive data from real-live sports to create the most trueto-life virtual gaming possible, Wenzig adds.”

Betradar’s Gaming Solutions are a great way to supplement any licensed sportsbook. They are available as a standalone product or via the company’s Gaming Platform, which provides clients with access to all Betradar’s existing and future virtual sports and gaming products with one single e-wallet integration.

Evolution of the ATM

BANKTECH

As the use of cash reduces the ATM is quickly evolving to meet our digital payment needs. Having an ATM to dispense cash to their patrons will remain a core service for any pub or club however with more services being moved to smartphones it is time for the ATM to adapt to how people are managing their payments and cash.

Banktech is fast-tracking this evolution of the ATM with their Cash Connect ATMPlus and visitors to this year’s AGE will be able to see what’s available now and what’s just around the corner.

“We are transitioning the ATM into the digital age”, says Henry Kiwarkis, GM Sales at Banktech.

“We have taken a traditional ATM and added new hardware and software to offer a much wider range of transactions to eventually include depositing funds into mobile wallets, paying bills, withdrawal of cash from cryptocurrency accounts – even converting foreign exchange. The possibilities are endless.”

The first new feature of Cash Connect ATMPlus is the ability for club members to pay ATM fees with their loyalty points. Now available and in use, Pay With Points is gathering increased interest, in particular from those venues looking to value-add to their loyalty programs.

The Banktech team will also be demonstrating how to use Cash Connect ATMPlus to top up digital wallets.

“CashConnect ATMPlus will allow venues to benefit from the digital economy,” says Kiwarkis, “The ability to insert cash to enable digital transactions is unique and will be a service valued by all customers” Visit the Banktech team at the AGE, stand #322.

Pacquiao One Punch KO

GANAPATI

Ganapati PLC’s latest initiative packs quite a punch. The global supplier of Japanese content recently announced its intention to produce an official Manny Pacquiao slot game, to add to the company’s portfolio.

Pacquiao One Punch KO, to be released this September, will take the form of a 3x5 cascading slot with 25 pay lines and its central theme none other than living boxing legend, Manny Pacquiao.

Having recently beaten Keith Thurman to the welterweight title in their widely publicised Las Vegas fight, the boxer is showing no signs of slowing down in all areas.

The news that Ganapati is producing the official Pacquiao slot game was recently announced to coincide with this fight, along with the information that a portion of the game’s proceeds would be channelled into the boxer’s own charity, the Manny Pacquiao Foundation, supporting children’s education in the Philippines.

The game’s main features include Cascading Reels and Multipliers – every time a winning combination of symbols appears, the winning symbols cascade off the reels and disappear, increasing the Multiplier by 1x. The symbols above cascade down to replace those that disappeared, with new symbols filling their now empty slots.

As well as this, 3 or more Scatters that appear anywhere on the reels activate 10 Free Spins, which are re-triggered if 3 or more Scatters appear during the Free Spins feature. There is also a Wild symbol which has the power to substitute for all symbols except Scatters.

Aside from its standout features, Pacquiao One Punch KO is set to be a knockout in more ways than one. As not only a champion sportsman but a well-loved Senator in his home country, Pacquiao emphasises his determination to support local Filipino communities and give back to those who started out in life struggling, as he himself once did. The game’s focus is on fighting – not just in the ring, but to overcome hardships in life.

For Ganapati, which has previously made a name for itself in both European and Asian markets, the upcoming release represents the company reaching new heights in Asia especially – with backing from Asia’s number one sports star.

Offering table games and more

WALKER DIGITAL

Table game technology has come a very long way from the days of the “dumb table”. As operators and their customers become more demanding, gaming suppliers have had to invest heavily in R&D to provide the right services to the market.

Floor-wide, real-time data has become the catalyst for much of these advancements. For example, Walker Digital Table Systems, the developer of the “Perfect Play” solution for table games, has not only continued to add new and exciting features to their product but has also been developing innovative new products made possible through via its table games automation platform.

While the platform was designed to solve common live table games issues such as dealer accuracy, accuracy in player ratings, and ensuring game security, these days, WDTS has gone beyond the table to introduce new features and products made possible by the Perfect Pay Platform.
