Age of the Gods Series Shows Playtech Can Create Its Own Icons

Age of the Gods Series Shows Playtech Can Create Its Own IconsReading Time: 3 minutes

 

It’s been a few years now since Playtech lost the rights to using Marvel superheroes to brand its headline online slot games. The story is complicated, but essentially Disney did not want to be associated with casino games, and subsequently would not renew the contract with Playtech when they purchased Marvel back in 2009. The licensing expired in March 2017 (it was a long-term agreement with Marvel), leaving Playtech with a big gap in its slot library.

As any followers of Playtech will know, they followed a two-pronged approach to replacing Marvel games. The first was to court DC Comics (essentially, Warner Bros) and instead use their superhero creations to brand a ton of games. Everything from modern movies like Justice League and Suicide Squad to the vintage Batman TV series has been covered.

AOTG has directly replicated Marvel

However, the second tactic by Playtech was to bring a whole new branding with the Age of the Gods series. Many of the AOTG games are almost identical to the Marvel slots. For example, AOTG Prince of Olympus is based on the Incredible Hulk, and the original Age of the Gods slot is based on X-Men.

While some movie fans will enjoy the excitement of seeing new DC-branded slots rolling out at Playtech casinos like William Hill and Slots Heaven, which you can learn more about at uk-online-slots.co.uk, there is nevertheless a growing fanbase for the AOTG series. Indeed, going by the prominence given to AOTG games on most sites, it is clear players are voting with their gameplay time.

So, what makes AOTG better than DC Comics slots? It is, of course, a matter of subjective opinion, but some would argue that AOTG have struck the right balance between simplicity and excitement. The bonus features, while both lucrative and eye-catching, don’t rely on meaningless flashy images, nor is there unnecessary filler in the game. The point is that a nice balance has been made between branding and gameplay.

DC Games can have too much filler

Of course, that doesn’t mean that Playtech have completely dropped the ball with DC Comics games. They have attained a good level of popularity with players, although perhaps not having the same impact as Marvel games did. Yet, while you can see the positive side of branding from a developer’s perspective, after a while the movie content in the form of clips and audio gets a bit boring and unnecessary. Playing a session of, for example, Batman Begins slot can expose players to the same clips from the movie over and over again.

 

Indeed, buoyed by the success of the original handful of AOTG games, Playtech has moved to launch a few new additions to the collection in the last few months. It remains to be seen if AOTG Medusa and Monsters, Mighty Midas or Rulers of Olympus will stand the test of time, but they are adding value to a collection that has become a huge part of Playtech’s repertoire in a reasonably short period of time.

Moreover, because the AOTG series draws on Greek myths, it has a wide tapestry of themes, stories and ideas to draw inspiration from. Mythical slots are nothing new to be fair, but Playtech seems to have had the right approach by using this deep pool for great themes, without getting overly bogged down in the ‘story’. It seems to be working so far, with Age of the Gods meaning players aren’t missing those Marvel slots at all.

Explainable AI technology powers tool that creates real-time marketing solutions for operators.

Xtremepush, the leading provider of CRM and loyalty marketing powered by AI, has launched its game-changing InfinityAI solution for predicting player behaviour.

Officially unveiled at this week’s SBC Summit North America 2024 in New Jersey, InfinityAI ushers in a new era of AI through predictive modelling that offers superior performance, transparency and control.

InfinityAI is set to transform operational strategies across the iGaming sector through sophisticated marketing techniques. Utilising adaptive AI technology, the solution automatically identifies best-performing models for unique data sets and use cases, which enables operators to create highly customised models on the fly in response to emerging trends.

Crucially, InfinityAI uses advanced Explainable AI (XAI) to peel back the curtain on AI’s decision-making process. This enables predictions to be made with a layer of transparency that instills trust and confidence in the technology, which is absent from AI solutions based exclusively on black-box technology where processes are hidden from view.

InfinityAI also incorporates plug-and-play models for sports betting and iGaming operators. These ready-made modules can be deployed at speed without detailed technical knowledge to gain the benefit of AI insights.

The launch of InfinityAI will further enhance player retention and stickiness for operators using Xtremepush’s technology, which harnesses a suite of optimisation and automation CRM tools to deliver personalised, relevant messaging powered by real-time data.

Tommy Kearns, CEO of Xtremepush, said: “It is a proud moment for Xtremepush to be able to unveil our revolutionary AI solution for the iGaming industry. InfinityAI offers transparent and flexible predictive modelling without limitations, identifying the best model for an operator’s unique data and use case.

“Additionally, our XAI offers complete visibility into the prediction process, empowering operators to optimise the model in real-time, resulting in unparalleled trust, accuracy and outcomes. InfinityAI will help our operators predict almost any action, behaviour and event, presenting them with an invaluable and cutting-edge retention and loyalty solution.”

Calling all treasure hunters, thrill seekers and intrepid explorers with a thirst for the unknown – this month, popular premium casino software provider, Swintt, is inviting you back on an epic journey through the sands of time in its action-packed slot, Egypt King Book Hunt.

Set to a backdrop of a long-forgotten temple where mystic relics abound, Egypt King Book Hunt is the third instalment of the popular SwinttPremium series and this time combines simple gameplay and classic graphics and sound with the studio’s much-loved “Book” free spins feature.

Activated whenever three or more of the iconic ‘Book’ symbols appear anywhere on the reels, players will first be prompted to leaf through the pages of an ancient tome until one icon is chosen at random to be the game’s lucky symbol, after which a series of 10 free spins will get underway.

During these bonus games, any instances of the lucky symbol that complete a payline will expand to fill their entire reel – and what’s more, payouts will be awarded for all winning combos regardless of whether the symbols are adjacent or not. On top of that, further free spins can be won for landing additional book symbols and players can even opt to buy into the feature directly.

With Egypt King Book Hunt being available to play with 5 or 10 fixed paylines, players will be able to customise their experience to the level of variance that they’re most comfortable with and they’ll also have the chance to try and double any winnings they collect in an optional risk feature.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “The fact that the pyramids have stood for thousands of years is testament to them being a design classic – and we feel our Premium slots fall into much the same category! Combining iconic graphics and sound, intuitive gameplay and popular ‘Book’ free spins, we’re sure Egypt King Book Hunt will be a great addition.”
