Tournament and Take the Prize, new Betsoft tool in Drive

It goes without saying that today’s players are very different from yesterday’s. To understand this, just think about how much slot machines have changed. The first slot machines were very simple, they had three reels and a single line on which to try to land three identical symbols. Over time, physical slots have become virtual, and since then they have been enriched with many features and also a greater number of reels and paylines. New game mechanisms have been invented, made possible by the use of mathematical models and algorithms, and more are being created every day. Betsoft is one of the software providers that has become the protagonist of this continuous innovation, accompanying the change in the gaming habits of gamblers.

Everyone agrees: today one cannot hope to be successful following the same criteria as in the past. It is not even enough to create beautiful and captivating slots anymore: player engagement is a must also with tools that allow him, for example, to interact with other players, and above all to increase his opportunities to grab some winnings. Betsoft has thus decided to inaugurate a new chapter in its history, which began in 2006 and has been full of satisfactions and successes. In recent months it has implemented a new revolutionary tool called Drive, and which has already given very good results.

What is Drive

Drive is a very versatile tool, which consists of several applications that serve to increase the so-called “gamification” of virtual processes. Based on the assumption that to really have fun, it is not enough just that a slot is beautiful and well made, Drive brings new products that overlap the slot. This is achieved without however interrupting the game in progress, so to make each game even more exciting and unpredictable. To better understand what it is, let’s talk about two of the products that are included in Drive and that have already made their debut, to the great satisfaction of the Betsoft team that created them. 

Take the Prize

Take the Prize was the first tool to be offered to users of Betsoft slots, and it seems to have met with great popularity. We can define Take the Prize as a sort of wheel of fortune that is activated in a completely random way during the spins of a game session at Betsoft slots. By spinning it, you can get prizes and bonuses, in a very fluid and captivating way, without the main game experience being interrupted or disturbed. This was achieved thanks to the excellent work done by Betsoft technicians, who were able to create an extremely pleasant and polite user interface, with the ability to receive notifications in real time. After a first edition which took place in June of this year, given its great success it was decided to repeat it in September. Performance were encouraging: stakes increased by 25% and user participation by 30%. So Betsoft decided to go further, increasing the overall prize pool and also the number of original titles involved. The Take the Prize tool has been activated on a selection of new online slots chosen both from the new releases, such as Gemini Joker ™ and Captain’s Quest – Treasure Island ™, and from well-known products such as Take the Bank ™ and Lava Gold ™.

Tournament

Betsoft must have thought that the time was ripe to introduce another tool to Drive, called Tournament. This stimulates a healthy competition between players, with the aspiration to achieve richer prizes. On each slots, real-time leaderboards are provided so to track player’s progress and also keeping an eye of their “opponents”. This happens without the gaming experience being affected in any way, as notifications can be switched off. It is actually enriching, being exactly the purpose of the Drive tools: bring further gamification to Betsoft slots users and increase their winning potential. Although any promotional tool works on a standalone basis, it can be combined with others simultaneously, expanding engagement and wins. Drive is designed to work on any type of device, however its orientation is mobile first favoring the gaming experience from a smartphone or mobile device.

A new era for online slots

Renata Banyar, head of the marketing area for Betsoft Gaming, explained how from the first moment the idea of ​​a tool like Drive was conceived, everyone had a very clear and precise vision of what a which it should have served. The aim is to increase the player’s involvement, bring him closer to the provider, allow him to have more and more chances of achieving an important victory. And, he adds, the effort is not over.
