The known effects of online poker in New Jersey

Published

on

New Jersey has never been a focus point when it comes to talk about online poker revenue. Every month when the numbers come out and the stats are revealed per vertical in NJ, somehow online poker always seems to fall short.

This has been the case for the past 18 – 19 months and the recent figures are highlighting the side effects of the signing of the game changing multi-state agreement.  The multi-state agreement was set up to allow online poker operators to share online poker player pools with others in Nevada and Delaware.

To put it as simple as possible, online poker players in Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware were able to play against each other legally for the first time when they logged on to the WSOP.com and 888poker network on May 1, 2018.

Before the shared liquidity was allowed in New Jersey, the market was in a perpetual decline with only a few months of annual increases posted by individual operators scattered across the entire history of the market.

As mentioned earlier, the agreement beseem to be a booster for the online poker industry in NJ, but it proved to be deficient in raising the scores when it comes to income from online poker. We must mention the fact that 888poker NJ, who are currently the only New Jersey online poker network that is able to share player liquidity with other states, reported a 19.5% annual increase last month.

The combining of player pools is a huge step forward for the online gambling industry in the US and even if it came with some technical glitches at first, technology has managed to resolve most of the reported errors.

If there are signs that are pointing toward a rise in revenues, we certainly must mention that larger player pools will have a ripple effect on online poker and shared liquidity may also have a positive impact on potential legislation in other states. This could be in the mind of the Pennsylvanian legislators, who are flirting with the idea of launching online poker.

Pennsylvania is the sixth largest state in the US (population of nearly 13 million people) and rumors say that the process of launching online poker already begun with the likely case of joining the Multi-State Internet Gaming Association when it goes live.

We can already say that if the plan goes through, it would double the number of those currently exposed to online poker in the three states, mentioning the fact that when the current shared liquidity begun, it brought an additional exposure to 4 million people for the All American Poker Network (AAPN).

Thus, in my opinion, we can set an additional news alert, next to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) notifications of course, for online poker in Pennsylvania.

With an experience of over 8 years in the online gambling industry, as an affiliate, later affiliate manager and consultant, I consider myself a veteran of the industry and can guarantee that you will be served with the most accurate information.

Nolimit City revisits the brutal factory life in Outsourced: Slash Game

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Nolimit City takes you back to the grind with its latest release, Outsourced: Slash Game. For those who thought their consumerist cravings were a safe indulgence, think again. Following in the footsteps of Outsourced, this new addition pulls back the curtain on the sweat and sacrifice lurking behind those everyday luxuries—this time with a dash of danger. Outsourced: Slash Game is the studio’s second venture into crash-style gameplay, the first being xCrash™ in Skate or Die – but this time it’s a standalone crash game!

In Slash Game, players have to make some cutthroat decisions as a laser traces the outline of their hand, increasing the multiplier with every pass. Players hit “stop” to cash out, locking in the multiplier when they feel the timing is right. After which, they will be shown the potential winnings if they wouldn’t have stopped. But here’s the catch: if players hesitate a second too long and the laser slips, all the winnings are lost. A live scoreboard displays the Top Win, Top Miss and Last Round, so that players can keep track of their previous rounds.

Outsourced: Slash Game is not a familiar Nolimit City slot to some players but could cause some excitement with an increasing multiplier and a maximum payout of 1,500x the base bet. Outsourced: Slash Game, unlike Nolimit City’s high-volatility slots, is rated as ‘Medium Volatility’ but don’t let that fool you as it still includes the risk of losing your hand.

Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “Get back to work, will you? We’re bringing players back to the unrelenting factory floor of Outsourced with an all-new twist. Slash Game is a standalone take on our crash-style games, and it’s packed with plenty of heart-stopping moments (and maybe a few hand-stopping ones, too). We’re thrilled with how it turned out and we hope that our fans will be too!“

‘Outsourced: Slash Game’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on November 5th, 2024.

Set sail on a pirate quest with Belatra’s Tortuga Codex

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has launched its pirate-themed title, Tortuga Codex. This 5×4 slot casts players on a journey on the hunt for untold riches buried on a mysterious island.

A Skull symbol acts as the Wild and will substitute for any other symbol to increase the chances of a win. An intriguing element to the game lies in the Additional Reel feature which sits above the main frame. It’s in sync with the main reels, displaying Wild symbols, special pirate icons, and numbers from one to nine. When three or more bomb Scatters come in, numbers on the Additional Reel become active multipliers in the bonus game. The more Scatters appear, the higher each multiplier value, amplifying the potential winnings.

In the main game, the Wild scatters a random number of Wild symbols onto the reels if there is a Scatter underneath it. When the Bonus Game is hit, the Wild symbol will be replaced by the number 9. Pirate Bob, Pirate Patrick and Pirate Girl symbols replace all minor symbols if there is a Scatter symbol underneath them. These symbols will be replaced by the numbers 8, 7 and 6 respectively.

The Treasure Chest symbol awards players with a random win ranging from 5 to 1000 bets  if there is a Scatter symbol under it. This symbol is replaced by the number 5 when the Bonus game begins. A Coin gives the player a win of 10 bets on the game if there is a Scatter symbol underneath it – transforming into the number 4 for the Bonus. All numbers on the Additional Reel that fall out or appear in place of symbols will go into the Bonus Game when three or more Scatters appear on the reels. Hitting four Scatters will increase each number by one, landing five Scatters will increase each number by three – the maximum is nine.

Players trigger the Bonus Game with three or more bomb Scatters. Before it begins, the first and second cells open up on the Additional Reel at the top, then players must choose a chest that contains either a Plus, Multiplier, or a noose, which concludes the round. As players move down through the levels, the multipliers can increase depending on the chest’s bounty – the maximum is 59049x.

Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “Tortuga Codex takes players deep into the perilous seas filled with hidden mysteries, legendary treasures, and ancient artefacts waiting to be uncovered on the reels. The Bonus feature gives players the perfect opportunity to chart a course to winnings.”
