FinTech services are creating problems for big banks with a revolutionary consumer-centric offering

London, February 2016 – As banks embark on their reporting season, the traditional institutions are setting out how they have fared in a tough global environment. Credit Suisse are due to release year on year results on Thursday, which are expected to show that the restructuring undertaken by the Swiss bank has not yet fed into their share price. Last week’s report from Deutsche Bank showed their first full year loss since the financial crisis of 2008, attributed by their CEO to on-going legacy issues.It is clear that traditional banks are feeling the pressure from the disruptive impact of FinTech innovators.

These pressures are highlighted particularly in the retail sector, with those banks with high exposure to customers experiencing profound disruption from FinTech competitors. A report by PwC highlights that 55 per cent of bank executives believe that non-traditional players pose a threat to traditional banks. The report identifies the development of a customer-centric business model as the highest priority for banks if they are to remain competitive over the next 5 years.

Technological innovators such as TransferWise, Nutmeg and Funding Circle are increasingly fragmenting the market by unbundling financial services to create an agile offering. They are disturbing the established order by leading with customer focused innovation. This characteristic is at the heart of the battle between the FinTech sector and traditional banks.

Massive giveaway celebrating Chinese New Year promoting popular skill gaming hub.

In a one-of-a-kind move for a social casino, the Kash Karnival, a free-to-play skill gaming casino, is running a special Chinese New Year gaming competition rewarding one lucky winner with a return ticket to Macau, Casino Capitol of Asia.

Royal Wins Digital Marketing Strategist, Michael Moretti, conceived of the idea to dramatically promote the idea of winning real item prizes on skill gaming and wagering. “This prize serves as a means for the Kash Karnival to reward its loyal players with a trip to a city where they might enjoy an exciting casino experience even greater than that of the Kash Karnival itself. What other social casinos can say they sent a player on a holiday?”

The Kash Karnival already gives away real world prizes via its Kash Store. The skill gaming casino offers players a chance to bet not only on traditional casino games, like slots, bingo and blackjack, but also gives them an opportunity to bet on their own abilities within casual skill games (such as Match 3, Puzzle and Arcade games) and by adding skill-based second screen features into casino games. Players who are both lucky and skillful enough to win on any of the games in the Kash Karnival can redeem their winnings for real items in the Kash Store.

The casino software provider announces new partnerships and new offices in Asia

Isle Of Man – Booming Games has had quite a year. They began with their freshman debut at last year’s ICE Totally Gaming, completed several successful integrations with European operators, and are preparing their return to ICE 2016 in London with double the gaming portfolio. Now, the casino games provider is ready for their next stage of global expansion: Asia.

“Asia is the world’s fastest-growing gaming market,” says Julian Mautner, founder of Booming Games. “It’s a challenging market for sure, but a challenge we are eager and ready to take on.” Mautner explains how players in Asia have their own dispositions to how they like their games to look, feel, and play. Booming Games has the full capacity to adapt all of their games to meet the preferences of Asian gamers, from the themes and aesthetics, to the more technical usability factors and interfaces.

Booming Games is currently in the process of finalizing deals with two partners: XIN Gaming, and Asia Gaming. XIN Gaming is a software and platform provider that also includes 3rd party games, and is excited to include Booming Games’ slots among its portfolio. Asia Gaming specializes in live dealer interactive table games, but they also offer a small selection of eGames. The addition of slots from Booming Games will greatly increase their casino product offerings.

Proven formulas work, and players love reveling in familiarities such as the 5 X 3 grid. But sometimes, we at Booming Games feel constrained by the old structures, and need to takeoff into the unknown.

We want games that have that universal slot machine appeal—with all its special features and bonuses—but we also want to roll out something totally unique. Players love extra features, especially when they get second chances to win on a single bet. So we asked out innovation experts, how can we offer a new feature to entice players, while also presenting a completely novel visual experience?

Just in time for ICE Totally Gaming, kicking off February 02nd in London, we’re dropping the Rotator Feature. We’ve crunched the gameboard to an unconventional 4×4 grid, which might sound square at first, but wait until you trigger the Rotator. Watch the entire gameboard come unstuck from the background and rotate 90 degrees: the symbols have all been repositioned, but the left-to-right paylines remains fixed, thereby giving your players a second chance to win off of one single spin.

For our first theme to showcase our Rotator, we’ve created Galactic Speedway: set in a retro futuristic interstellar jet-powered sports car, Galactic Speedway is sure to captivate both old school slot fans as well as the next generation of gamers. We always aim to keep all markets in our sights, including the young adult players who prefer the fast, action-packed graphics of video games. Galactic Speedway, with the unique Rotator feature, is a sure shot in combining the pure entertainment factor of action video games with the unstoppable appeal of casino gaming. Other upcoming themes to include the Rotator feature is our Roaring 20s Art-Deco theme: Chicago Nights, also to be released around the time of ICE Totally Gaming.
