Bangalore-based start-up, an online poker platform Pocket52 , has taken a major step in evolving the Random Number Generator technology. iTech labs, a globally renowned third-party certification agency based out of Australia, has certified Pocket52 as a cryptographically secure RNG platform.

In Fact, Pocket52 is the first company to develop a cryptographically secure RNG, powered by Lava Lamps in India. They call it RNG+.

Speciale Invest led an investor group to raise an undisclosed seed fund for Pocket52. The group included marquee poker players like Abhigya Sagar, Pranjal Batra and a slew of astute entrepreneurs.

Pocket52 is boldly held together by Nitesh Salvi (CEO) along with other co-founders Saurav Suman(COO) (Co-Founder TimeMyTask now acquired), Debashish Bhattacharjee (CMO), and Satyam Verma(CTO).

Nitesh (Co-founder and CEO Pocket52) is an IIT Bombay graduate and a serial entrepreneur. His first venture Plancess was one of the top-ranked Ed-tech startups which were later acquired by the Career Point Group, Kota. Nitesh has been an ardent poker player from his IIT Bombay days. He mentions identifying major anomalies in his online poker experience over varied platforms.

A decade of unsatisfactory experiences inspired him to build a space of his own in the Online Poker Circuit. Nitesh along with the founding team aims to reconstruct the online poker experience with the help of Data & Machine Learning.

The Bangalore-based company expressed their intentions to infuse their funds in contriving an expanding consumer business. Pocket52 built their software from the scratch. The technology was built by India’s finest, led by the CTO of the company who is an avid poker player himself. Pocket52 has introduced many new features for a sophisticated gaming experience for their users.

The startup has absorbed a very dynamic and tech-savvy team which has built a whale of a product. This product holds the potential to attract a large user base and foster their sustenance. The CMO of the company with his extensive knowledge on the customer leads the planning of every reward feature and benefit. Each promotion is designed keeping in mind every type of potential poker player in India. This exhibits a tremendous level of faith in the start-up by their investors.

Arjun Rao, General Partner at Speciale Invest expresses, “We’re excited to support Pocket52 in their vision. Their vision is to bring technological innovations to the Indian online gaming sector. Of course, poker is their first game. They have a strong product differentiation around the game-play. Their integrity levels, fairness and high-quality player engagement, strengthen our confidence in them.”

Founder of Speciale Invest, Vishesh Ramrajan mentions, “The growth rate of the Indian online poker gaming industry is very high. It is a land of opportunities. Pocket52 has taken the technological lead in this space and we are happy to be a part of their growth journey.”

The RNG+ technology employed by Pocket52 is an additional security layer in their online card shuffle process. They drew this technological inspiration from some noteworthy companies like Cloudflare, a platform that acts as a medium to secure 10% of the entire World Wide Web.

Pocket52 has traced a roadmap for themselves. Their plan includes construction of personalized learning modules. This will equip the platform to impart personalized learning experience to the poker players. Machine learning will play a pivotal role in the design of these learning modules.

The estimated value of the online poker space in India is USD 7 billion. This value is combined with a base of more than 5 million poker players in India.

Play with the Ugliest, Quirkiest Pets Around in Stakelogic’s Fugly Pets

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Get your eyes ready because it’s time to take a trip to the pet centre to meet the ugliest, quirkiest, wildest-looking pets you’ve ever seen in the brand new slot, Fugly Pets, from Stakelogic.

Fugly Pets takes players to a banged-up old pet store to explore its collection of weird and charming, downright ugly pets. Meet a scruffy parrot, a catnip crazed kitty, and an unfortunate-looking little dog.

The slot uses a 5×5 grid with 3,125 ways to win on each spin and is packed with a plethora of unique and exciting bonus features.

Landing Bonus symbols trigger up to 15 Free Spins! Keep your eyes peeled for symbol multipliers of up to 64x landing on any spin. What’s more, these become persistent during the Free Spins, only adding to the game’s huge winning potential.

Roadkill might spell bad news for these fugly-looking creatures, but it is a great thing for players! The Roadkill symbol lands on reel five and will remain inactive until no cascades are possible. The Roadkill symbol then moves across the reels, destroying everything its path or turning it into Wilds.

Fugly Pets is a Stakelogic slot, so there is always something a little extra. If you thought those animals were ugly in regular size, wait until they land in super-size! Super Symbols can land in 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4, allowing players to win big!

Speaking of big wins, players can grab wins of up to 5,000x their stake in this slot, with RTP models up to 96% available.

Daniela Fricchione, Head of Account Management at Stakelogic, said: One thing we love to do at Stakelogic is to play with player expectations. When you think of a pet-themed slot, you imagine something cute and cuddly. Well, we’ve taken that rulebook and fed it to the dogs, putting a fresh spin on the genre with Fugly Pets.

It’s not just the theme that is unconventional, either. The game is jam-packed with special features, with the Roadkill bonus and Super Symbols really helping the slot stand out from the pack.
