This partnership gives our licensees the ability to create different types of jackpots to increase player engagement and retention. The main configurations are “Progressive”, “Community”, “Time-Based”, “Event-Based”, and “Amount-based”. The content-agnostic jackpot can be applied to any casino game, including Live casino ones.

The new partnership is a logical step forward for Delasport

This addition aligns quite well with the company’s overall strategy of revolutionizing player engagement and retention in iGaming. The announcement is part of a series of retention-related news and improvements, including the introduction of Player Engagement tools and Delasport’s proprietary ‘My Era’ suite. The latter proved to be a game-changer with retention skyrocketing after the implementation of ‘My Sportsbook’, ‘My Event Builder’, and ‘If Bet’ for sports betting operators and the upcoming ‘In-Game Booster Panel’ and the personalization feature ‘My Casino’.

Delasport is taking the Jackpot to new heights by offering it on any RNG or Live Casino game which features real time jackpot data and interactive jackpot win animations within the game screen.

Delasport’s CEO Oren Cohen Shwartz regarding the deal:

“We, at Delasport, have an official duty to provide our partners with the means to go beyond content and elevate the players’ betting experience. Partnering up with BeyondPlay is yet another way we are advancing towards this goal”. “Our partners will soon be able to offer to their players a cross-provider jackpot on any casino and live casino game. Their players will be able to play any of their favorite games with the option to also hit the jackpot. In addition, our partners have the flexibility to choose between network and local jackpot pools that will guarantee that when the jackpot is blown the winner will be one of their players.”

Head of Casino Ralitsa Zareva also commended:

“Working with BeyondPlay proved to be a real pleasure and we’re excited to show our licensees and their players the end result. We’re vfofery serious about player engagement and retention and the Cross-Provider Jackpot is just the latest proof of our commitment.”

BeyondPlay’s COO Jacqui Gatt shares the same notion:

“This collaboration marks a significant milestone for BeyondPlay as we join forces with Delasport and provide our cutting-edge jackpot software on their powerful platform.

Through this partnership, we’re enabling Delasport and its licensees to create their very own exclusive jackpots and harness the full potential of BeyondPlay’s jackpot software.

We are confident that this partnership will not only elevate the players’ gaming experience, but also provide Delasport with a competitive edge in the market. Together, we look forward to delivering a world-class gaming experience that exceeds the expectations of both operators and players alike.”

We’re grateful we get to work with professionals like BeyondPlay. Stay tuned for more exciting news from Delasport by following us on LinkedIn.

In his opinion, implementing sports products not only doesn’t cannibalise existing revenue streams, but in fact helps protect them.

And while introducing a whole new segment sounds like a lot of work, Delasport’s Sportsbook iFrame solution makes it as easy as integrating a video slots provider.

“Plug & Play” solution

‘Most casino operators understand the need to add a sports product. Yet, there is a misconception that implementing and operating a Sportsbook product is extremely complicated’, our CEO points out. According to him, this is far from the truth. One of the key benefits of Delasport’s Sportsbook iFrame is that it is straightforward and quick to embed. For this exact reason, the team named it Plug & Play. Oren compares it to simply adding a new slots provider.

‘Another concern casino operators have is about lacking knowledge of sports, but this isn’t a fundamental requirement. Our partners gain access to a team of professional trading and risk managers who oversee the whole operation’, he shares.

Furthermore, the Plug & Play Sportsbook iFrame solution provides the perfect opportunity to cross-sell casino products to sports bettors, with cost per acquisition much lower for sports players than it is for casino bettors.

Making the Right Choice

Choosing a sportsbook iFrame solution provider should be based on several key considerations. The first ones on the list are product and coverage.

According to Oren Cohen Shwartz, an excellent sportsbook is covering all required features on the operator’s markets – from sports disciplines, betting options, mobile UX, cash-out, scalability, different odds format, multiple currencies, a variety of languages, etc.

In the case of our solution, there are over 100,000 pre-match and 70,000 live events across 125 different types of sports.  Another significant benefit is the fact the markets range from classic football and cricket to esports, virtual sports, and live tournaments.

Another important aspect is to look for a modern sportsbook. One that utilizes the newest technologies to allow operators to differentiate themselves in their markets, with a set of unique player engagement tools. Features like tournaments, missions, levels etc. increase player satisfaction and improve lifetime value. It is crucial for operators to focus on player satisfaction as it greatly influences customer retention.

Risk Management

Another thing to consider when choosing a solution provider is the experience, particularly in terms of risk management. This can be achieved by either hiring a sports betting expert or selecting a provider with access to professional traders and risk managers.

This type of management includes the identification, evaluation, and prioritisation of risks. It might mean everything from the initial event pricing and any odds movement to limit liability to increasing the betting limits available to customers and analysing particular betting behaviours to keep track of new information.

Oren points out that Delasport’s Sportsbook trading staff covers top and minor sports in-depth. In a revenue-sharing business model, the sportsbook iFrame provider should act as a trusted partner, manage the sports product professionally, and maintain the highest margin to achieve new business goals. By doing so, there is a mutual interest in growing the business, with the provider supporting the operator in adding new features to their offering.

Final words

‘Sportsbook Plug & Play iFrame allows operators to get all the benefits of adding a sports product to their casino brand. It is quick, and they don’t need to have the know-how in sports’, Oren recaps. ‘I’m proud to say the sportsbook Plug & Play iFrame blends seamlessly to the operator’s website, it even has the same colour, fonts, etc. At the same time, the operator is in complete control over their exposure through limit configuration and reports.’

1891: The beginning

The history of slot machines starts with the New York-based company, Sittman and Pitt in 1891, with their machine made up of five drums and 50 playing cards. Costing a nickel to play, the machine quickly become popular in many bars due to the novel mechanism of pulling the lever to line up to winning poker hands on the reels. Of course, the house needed to have the edge, so two cards – the ten of spades and the jack of hearts – were removed from the machine, cutting the odds of getting a royal flush by 50%. At the time, the machine had no way to payout wins, so players would go to the bar to collect their winnings – which were often non-monetary in nature and took the form of free drinks or cigars.

1894: The Liberty Bell

Charles August Fey, an American inventor of Bavarian descent, created the first slot machines (in the modern sense) in 1894. The coin-operated machine proved a hit, prompting Fey to build a new machine (the 4-11-44) which was so successful he opened a factory to produce them full-time. In 1898 he once again broke ground by creating the Card Bell, which was the first three-reel slot machine that could automatically pay out cash prizes. Then came the Liberty Bell in 1899 which made history and iterated on previous designs, shooting slot machines into the mainstream.

Many variations followed, some of which paid out winnings in the form of fruit-flavored chewing gum.  Today’s slot machines still feature the popular cherry and melon symbols derived from those early machines, with the famous BAR symbol originally derived from an early logo of the Bell-Fruit Gum Company.

1902 – 1908: Operator Bell

In 1907, Chicago-based manufacturer Herbert Mills produced a slot machine called the Operator Bell, based on the now-famous Liberty Bell. By 1908, the machine was found in most tobacconists, bowling alleys, shops, and salons.

1964 – Money Honey

Another first in the history of slot machines comes from The Bally Manufacturing Co., who introduced the first entirely electromechanical slot machine in 1964 under the name Money Honey. Pulling the lever was still required to start the game even though the reels were entirely electrically driven, so that players could still feel familiar with the game. And, with its bottomless hopper, it was the first slot machine able to pay out as many as 500 coins. As time went by, the handle was phased out and buttons became the main method of starting a game.

1976 – 1978: Fortune Coin

The next milestone in the history of slot machines came from Fortune Coin, who created the first video slot in 1976, manufactured in Kearny Mesa California by the Las Vegas-based company Fortune Coin. Using a modified Sony TV for the display, the game was first seen in the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel before it finally got approval to go statewide from the Nevada State Gaming Commission after some modifications and protections against cheating. After that, electric slot machines were seen all over the strip, raking in large amounts of cash and ushering in a new era of slot gaming.

1986: The progressive jackpot

Progressive jackpots were first introduced in large casinos in 1986, with the first progressive slot machine being Megabucks, which was developed by International Game Technology(IGT). The winnings increased every time a player did not hit the jackpot, creating a winning pot that had no limit. Then, in 1987 a lucky player made history on his own but winning the very first progressive jackpot to the tune of $4,988,842.17.

1996 onwards

When WMS Industries Inc. released “Reel ‘Em” in 1996, it marked the next significant turning point in the history and development of slots. It was the first video slot to have a bonus round on a second screen, where the bonus game was played on an entirely separate screen when the bonus round was initiated. This, and other features contributed to the continued growth of slot machines – to the point where they made up a significant portion of a casino’s revenue and occupied much of the available floor area.

Online Era

In the 1990s, the era of online casinos started, ushering a new age in the history of slot machines. It was initially met with a great deal of opposition and skepticism from both regulators and gamblers, with authorities being concerned that it would encourage other illegal activities in the black market, such as money laundering. Then there were the gamblers themselves, who could never have imagined online slots having the same enjoyment factor as the physical game.

The Temple of ISIS and Microgaming

There is speculation that the first online casino was created in 1994, however, there is no concrete evidence on the Internet as to which casino this was or whether it still exists. What we do know is that Cryptologic and Microgaming, two major players in the online gambling software development market, worked together to form the first major online casino in history. The first slots game was called Cash Splash, which was from Microgaming.

Since then, there have been hundreds if not thousands of slot games being created. They are easy to develop as random number generators had already been around for some time. And, with the ongoing evolution of technology, developers could create slots with better graphics, sound effects, unique bonus features, and large payouts.

2005: Mobile Slots

In 2005, the history of slot machines took another turn, as slots on mobile became a reality, with Pub Fruity being the first Java casino game, featuring a vibrant display that emulated a classic pub fruit machine. However, winning in these slots did not net any real cash, only virtual rewards.

The first iPhone was first released in 2007, followed by the App Store in 2008, opening up a whole new world for both developers and consumers. Although online casinos had been around for a decade at this point, the prospect of mobile gambling was a true evolution. With the app store, developers could create games and market them directly to consumers, prompting the Android Market place to follow suit.

Around this time, casino websites started offering downloadable games, and as long as you downloaded the file straight from the casino website, you could play slots that were optimized for mobile devices on your phone. This was also the first time that players could make deposits to mobile slots.

2010 onwards: Metagames

To further enhance gaming experiences, developers began to build sophisticated metagame features to support slots and engage players for longer. With metagames, players could enjoy a larger variety of unique challenges, rewards, and gaming options, creating a better distinction and adding value for dedicated and returning audiences.

One of the most groundbreaking metagames in history was the Red Tiger Daily Jackpot, introduced in 2016, and since improved with the addition of an hourly jackpot. The mechanics were elegant and smart, introducing jackpot capabilities on any game as a metagame, with a short-time jackpot guaranteed.

Pragmatic daily drops, introduced in 2020, would offer random prizes during a win. Then there were other notable meta games, including Quickspins tournaments, launched in 2018, and Poker Stars Races,

2016: The rise of Megaways

The Megaways engine, which was released by casino game developer Big Time Gaming (BTG) in 2016, had a revolutionary impact on the slots vertical. It thrust the studio into the public eye and attracted major casino content creators. The slots engine (also known as a random reel modifier) was impactful because it changed the number of symbols that land on each reel during a spin, resulting in thousands of different ways to win. The Megaways games got player attention because of the chance (even if it was the slightest) win x100,000 over the bet, while the multiplier changes in every round. Megaways took the industry by storm, putting themselves firmly in the history of slots. As a result, today offers many new titles to choose from, from a range of industry-leading developers.

Today, and tomorrow

Thanks to the development of web and mobile-based casinos, younger players are playing more slots than ever, and while developers have brought the classics to modern times, they must keep innovating to maintain player engagement or risk losing out.

With almost 27,000 video slots produced so far and about 100 new ones released every month, the competition is tough. But, this rivalry pushes video slots providers to push boundaries, coming up with new mechanics, and adding meta games like tournaments, missions, surprise prizes, short-time jackpots, and more.

The history of slot machines is far from over. Technology is always evolving, and the continued improvements in mobile devices and Internet speeds paint a strong picture for slots, which will continue down their own path to the future. New and exciting games are always in the pipeline, and as technologies such as 5G, virtual reality, and wearables become more mainstream, customer experiences will be more engaging, easy, and sophisticated. We see a bright future in the world of slots and look forward to seeing what tomorrow brings.

Integrating gamification with sports betting, online casinos, and related activities is something of a no-brainer, but what may be less obvious is how powerful a tool it can be to retain players and cross-sell between products and services. But what are the tools available, the benefits they offer and how can operators ensure they are taking the optimal approach?

Coming up:

Gamification tools for iGaming
Why should operators add gamification tools?
Why gamification is good for players

Choosing gamification rewards

Gamification tools for iGaming

Gamification in online gambling is generally used for stickiness (repeated visits and interactions), rewards, retention, loyalty, and training players on the usage of a specific product or platform. The tools used can include:

Missions: Specific actions that the player needs to perform to accumulate points, which can be a general activity (such as logging in, depositing, responding to a notification) or product-specific, which directly relate to specific betting activity.

Levels: An artificial ladder that indicates player progression throughout their journey, with milestones and targets to unlock better store purchases. These can be themed, such as evolving from Trainee to Golden Boot winner in football-related online gambling games.

Badges: Medals that the player can earn for an activity, more suited to providing additional flare and to help with storytelling.

Points To indicate player progress, level-up thresholds, and to be used as a currency in iGaming stores.

Store: An area where players spend their currency points. Items sold here can be gameplay-related or tangible in other beneficial ways.

Communication channels & activity: An overview of the journey a player has been through on your online casino or sports betting platform, with the milestones and actions they have achieved on the way.

Tournaments: Competitions involving 2 or more players, all participating with the purpose of reaching the top of the leaderboard by achieving the same goal and earning a prize.

Why should operators add gamification tools?

If operators can add features that are interesting and entertaining for players, they will naturally spend more time with the products and return for more. This allows operators to offer other products and services to gain players, who will be more inclined to try them out based on the trust and familiarity which has already been established.

However, it is crucial that this engagement process is informed by data and analysis so casino and sportsbook operators can select the promotional methods to assure long-term success. One other major importance of gamification in iGaming is that while campaigns and marketing efforts are usually limited in duration, gamified environments can be leveraged to attain goals over much longer periods of time.

Why gamification is good for iGaming players

Tools like achievements, leagues, and tournaments make players feel part of a community and promote healthy competition, so it creates a real sense of satisfaction when certain milestones are reached. The numbers we see at Delasport speak to this, as we saw an increase in player engagement of circa 85% month to month from 32,000 completed missions to nearly 59,000 just a month later.

As discussed in our list of expected iGaming trends in 2022, the positive psychological reinforcement from gamification gives players a thrill of beating the system, passing a milestone even triggering an exclusive feature. Even a small fanfare when they pass a certain threshold of bets or an anniversary of their registration can make them feel like they are part of something, and that the operator is giving them proper attention.

Cross vertical gamification

Players should be given as many ways as possible to enjoy and gamble. For instance, in the right circumstances, sports gambling players can enjoy a few spins of roulette during half-time – and the same goes for online casino players who might want to have a punt on a major sports event that happens to be going on.

Through gamification in iGaming, those betting on sports can be given special awards or badges when they cross over to casino games – or vice versa. To help support this, operators will need to identify the players most likely to do this and give them the proper incentive to follow through.  In addition, with a holistic approach, an operator can offer players points in a tournament across verticals, allowing them to use them on their favorite casino games and sports events.

Understand the customers

The mechanisms underneath gamification must be intelligently balanced in order to attract and retain iGaming players, maximize the quality of the experience; all while still maintaining a favorable ROI. It’s not as simple as adding new features to a game and hoping for the best: it must be carefully planned, adjusted, and supported by insightful data.

The approach is also important, as a number of people who place bets often do so to be entertained, rather than making an income. As such, gamification should enhance their reason to play, but not be the main draw. Instead, gamification in iGaming should only elevate the entertainment factor and not overpower the gameplay.

A final note on customer awareness is to properly understand the different values different players offer to an iGaming operator, and that the appropriate mechanisms and awards are in place for them. For instance, a higher-level casino player may spend ‎€50K per week and should therefore have better rewards than another player who spends €10 per week.

Choosing gamification rewards

Having real insight into your customers is crucial when trying to understand which rewards will be the most appealing to which iGaming customers. One of the best ways to do this is to keep things ‘fair’ is to demonstrate that the house is paying out and that both sides can win (where the business gain, is naturally, the lion’s share).

It goes without saying that online gambling Operators must deliver on what’s promised and give the reward to winning players – or risk a serious loss of trust. It’s usually best to give the reward on the spot in the form of achievement or milestone.

A few other aspects of rewarding will depend on your customer profile and targeting. For instance, when it comes to scheduling, you can:

• Give the reward at the end, for instance, if they have done a certain action or triggered a certain number of times, like a deposit.
• In the beginning, where the customer already knows the reward is there, but they must complete certain actions first. This is not the best approach as it can feel a little ‘carrot and stick’.
• Progressively, where the reward is given according to the player’s progress throughout their levels. For example, collecting pieces of a puzzle where the collection of a final piece releases an award.

You can also incorporate different types of reward, such as fixed (known from the start), randomized (from a pool of options), or surprised (given without expectation).

It’s time to up your game

Gamification in iGaming is a great retention and revenue tool for operators, but it’s not easy to implement. Understanding your customer is the key. The mechanics (journey, gameplay, rewards) should be personalized and applied upon player segmentation. Your player should be able to easily see the value when they ask the ‘what’s in it for me’ question’ and should clearly understand the journey to achieving their reward.

Knowing that you need gamification in your iGaming business is only half the battle. What about the implementation and maintenance of such an undertaking for your sportsbook or online casino? If you want to take your iGaming operations to the next level but need support, Delasport offers the technology and experience to make it happen. With decades of experience in the online sports betting and online casino industry, we know what it takes to gamify and succeed. To find out more, get in touch with our team today.

*Online Gaming is referring to iGaming (aka internet casino/poker gaming) and online Sports Betting (aka Mobile Sports Wagering)

Circa one-third of states already legalized at least one form of online gaming and others are in the process. It is clear the growth potential is massive after the pandemic put the entire online industry on steroids. Struggling brick-and-mortar organizations realized that online presence is not just good, but a must-have. It is estimated that the portion of the online gaming revenues from the total gambling revenue in the US is now 20% and it is predicted to double by 2023, on account of additional skins going live, an enlarged customer base, and more states legalizing online gaming. In 2020, the total GGR from Online Gaming in four of the states- Delaware, New Jersey, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania reached over 1.5B USD, representing 200%  Y2Y growth. New Jersey with share out of it is almost $1B and Pennsylvania above $500m. New Jersey is currently the largest market for regulated online gambling in the United States. In March this year, the New Jersey operators scooped up 113.7m USD 21%+ M2M. Pennsylvania is the fastest growing market in the US and it attracts operators and providers even though the tax rates – Video Slots 54%, Table games 34%, and Poker 16%.

Enjoying the politician support, giving additional state tax revenues from GGR and licensing, increasing in-state employment, and decreasing illegal betting through a regulated framework, the online gaming market will continue to thrive.  Online Gaming holds a broader potential than the immediate market operators and providers. There is an entire ecosystem of providers in many fields like KYC automation, Anti-fraud and AML systems, AI and machine learning systems, CRM, BI, iGaming Gamification tools, payment processors, and many more. In other words, this means more indirect taxation and more jobs. Seeing the potential, operators can also take advantage of the growing interest of venture capital organizations and investment banks which have started investing their time, effort, and money in the industry. Apart from Tennessee, the regulator has given an advantage to the brick-and-mortar establishments, which should remove some of the fear of losing revenues. As online regulation will cannibalize land-based establishment revenues, mainly from the younger demographic (under 50 years old), going online is a necessity. Not doing so would simply mean that potential online customers will seek to do business elsewhere.

The potential to boost land-based establishments with online gaming revenues comes from the fact that online availability is 24/7, richer products, and betting options. It is easily accessible on mobile devices and it extends the business, geographically, throughout the given state boundary.

The twelve years between the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 and the supreme court ruling in New Jersey in 2018 have created an online gaming knowledge gap that US gambling professionals are steadily catching up with by self-learning or/and M&A deals with European technology companies which already have the know-how. Black Friday in 2011 has left a strong impression that things have changed and being compliant is crucial. Land-based establishments which wish to go online are required to close the gaps regarding online gaming products as well as having a better understanding of the regulatory framework requirements of each state and implement technologies that are quite different from the land-based ones.  As the payment processing options are richer, player acquisition and retention techniques are various,  CSD will also need to be brought up in line with the changes. Unlike the players in Europe who were gradually introduced to new services, products, and functionalities over the last decade, the US players are getting an almost complete product in one step.

While the potential is clear, the road to success is not without hurdles, starting with skin licensing, liquidity allocation, and financing. A crucial challenge on hand is to identify the right provider to partner up with. Some Casino owners will look for complete control over the new B2C operation, while others may be reluctant to obtain the know-how and would like to hand the operation to a  trusted and experienced 3rd party to run it for them, or to “sell” one of their skins if multiple skins are allowed. Some states allow just one skin per license, while others do not specify a limit.  For instance, PGCB in Pennsylvania offers unlimited skins for iGaming licenses, but only one for Sports Betting licenses. Seven jurisdictions are now allowing iGaming and 22 legalized online sports betting. The multi-skin approach is crucial to maintaining diverse and healthy competition. Consumers will be empowered and enjoy better service, and online offerings as many more operators are in a given state

Running an iGaming and/or Sports Betting operation is a complex task. Some land-based Casinos are familiar with only running a slot and table games business. With only five states legalizing online casinos, the know-how of Sports Gambling is critical; therefore, partnering with the right Sports Betting and Casino partner, like Delasport, is vital. Choosing the right partner can put the land base organizations in the best position to capitalize on Casino and Sports Betting opportunities.

Delasport brings to the table the right ingredients to support the local brick-and-mortar establishment. We offer not just technology but also many years of experience in running successful online Sports Betting and Casino operations from the ground up. We support both strategies of turnkey solutions, allowing operators to run their brand and fully managed solutions while we run the day-to-day operations.

Let’s look at the top casino trends in 2021 that keep any playerbase coming back to the thrill of online gaming and what to keep in mind going forward for the future of the business.

Mobile casino experience – not only a trend but a necessity

Mobile Gaming has been a top trend for a long time and it’s not a surprise that the trend is up and rising in 2021. Steadily, it’s consuming player traffic and will soon encompass the larger part of player accessibility. Having access to amazing titles that feel and look the same as their desktop counterpart is something that every provider is tuning to perfection. The evolution of casino gambling has seen a shift directly to mobile device experience, with many new releases having features that are comparable to the mobile video game scene. This along with a healthy competitive environment for the industry has made new age Slots, Live Dealers, Table Games, and others have a great boost to quality and player retention with intricate and subtle additions to the player experience.

A peek at the demographics and how to expand even more in 2021

With the recent turn in the industry due to the global situation, new trends are becoming a fact. iGaming providers and developers have been dishing out more advanced titles to fill the need of a younger audience that is looking to expand their online gaming entertainment. With a heavy emphasis on skill-based gaming, the demographic is targeted by additions of enjoyable slots and games that require more than just a “spin to win” mechanic to play. Accessing a generation that is used to a prerequisite of skill before reward for gaming is no simple task but a worthy trend to pursue in 2021 as more of the video gaming world mixes with the online gambling industry.

VR / AR technology – the next-level trendy steps

Taking your operation to the next level in recent years means that you will need to fill it to the brim with every possible gaming experience relevant to casino. With industry movement and leaders paving the way showcasing a grand offering not only for Live Casino and standard Slot gaming but also advanced VR and AR casino developments that have for a long time been undervalued as an option to choose. This is one of the trends that will see a major rise in the coming years due to its improved development process making even smaller studios ready to take on the challenge.

Conclusion:

The online casino business has great things coming its way and we are excited to see the progress and new trends it brings to the industry. Another fact is, it has an advantage over sports betting as it will advance along with the technology available more so than its iGaming equivalent. The major push in tech advancement applicable to casino gambling is in large part due to the video game industry which is seeing major revenue and investment growth for the better part of a decade. With continued new and intricate releases hitting the online scene daily, the healthy competition and proven value of Casino gaming will find an even larger foothold and further develop all iGaming alongside itself.

So we’ll continue to keep eye on the niche, how it develops, and what are the top trends in the business, so don’t forget to follow us and check our blog regularly for more useful articles and news!
