Nigel Birrell, CEO at Lottoland, said: “We are absolutely delighted to achieve a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD. It’s such an accolade to find ourselves in this hall of fame. This title is a confirmation of our business model, it proves that we are able to even break world records thanks to our sophisticated insurance model.”

A quest for all! Nolimit’s Dungeon Quest awaits

September 27th, 2018 – Swedish developer, Nolimit City, announce their latest title, following their hit release, Hot Nudge, which was presented in July 2018. A portrait oriented first for Nolimit City, Dungeon Quest promises to entertain all players that are happy to play on the go.

Dungeon Quest, immerses players to the deepest depths of their latest theme, a heroic effort to enter the most dreaded of places, forging a way to retrieve coveted lost treasures. A mobile experience unlike no other, Nolimit sticks to their guns and pushes forward a mobile-portrait title that speaks to the ever-growing demand for great mobile games. Dungeon Quest is a slot with 29 fixed betlines on a 5×7 reel area and adjacent pay instead of traditional left to right. With two main game random features and a freespin that offers sticky wilds, this game will keep players on their toes.

A fun experience for all, Dungeon Quest has been designed to stand out, specifically in the lacking portrait-oriented games sector – the game offers enough frequent random features to boost a great experience, whilst chasing a chunky 4 freespin bonus feature that has room to potentially deliver a blowing full stacked screen of sticky wilds, giving players the Legendry Loot and Epic Win celebration.

Today, Eventus International announced new dates for its flagship event; the BiG Africa Supershow

Eventus International has long been your gateway to the African gaming sector. For nearly 7 years, they have created one-of-a-kind agendas and exhibition opportunities for the gaming sector with the benefit of all who attend in mind.

Based on market feedback, Eventus International has decided to move the BiG Africa Supershow to 25-26 March 2019.

“Eventus International has hosted the BiG Africa Supershow during the months of October or November for the last 6 years. We believed that October and November were the best months for the sector as there weren’t many gaming events at that time, and we didn’t want to crowd the market. We however welcome new entrants to host their events as this only contributes to the greater good, but we still believe that too many events at the same time won’t benefit the sector. We therefore respectfully decided to reschedule the 6th Annual BiG Africa Supershow to March 2019.” Yudi Soetjiptadi, Managing Director, Eventus International

27/9/2018 – Valletta, Malta – To mark the end of a successful summer and celebrate the upcoming launch of marquee game Max Quest: Wrath of Ra, Betsoft Gaming hosted a glamorous evening event in the historic heart of Malta this month.

On 12th September, more than a hundred industry figures homed in on the legendary Sheer Bastion just after sunset.  While the venue dates back to the 1550s, guests received an even older welcome in the form of Ancient Egyptian statues, gold accents, and hosts dressed as royalty, soldiers, and servants from the time of the Pharaohs.

The glittering makeover was in honour of Max Quest, the revolutionary new Betsoft game scheduled to launch later this year.  In Max Quest, players party up to explore a sunken tomb beneath the sands in search of treasure, collaborating and competing in an interactive shooting experience that puts an entirely new slant on traditional slot gaming.

To recreate the atmosphere and opulence of Ancient Egypt, two statues of Anubis were placed on guard beside the Sheer Bastion entrance.  From there visitors walked a golden carpet past a gigantic canvas poster of Max Quest’s reanimated villain, where they had the chance to pose with Egyptian props.  Inside, overlooking the harbour, guests found a sphinx statue sitting beside a table loaded with cocktails, canapés, and screens showing recent highlights from Betsoft’s Slots3™ series in action.
