Leading free-to-play specialist extends Tote Ten to Follow partnership with a revitalised game for the Flat racing season

SportCaller, the free-to-play (FTP) sports-game specialist, has progressed its ongoing partnership with the UK Tote Group through the launch of its £100,000+ Tote Ten to Follow for the current Flat season. As British horse racing leads the return of elite sport from a COVID-19-enforced break, this popular game incorporates a host of innovative features aimed at expanding racing’s reach to new audiences.

Having devised the original free-to-play jackpot model with Channel 4 Racing in 2014, SportCaller returned to those racing roots by bringing the timeless Tote Ten to Follow into the digital age over the latest Jumps campaign. The game now renews for the Flat season and SportCaller has updated and enhanced the player experience with a suite of new features that drive reliable engagement via repeat visits throughout the course of the competition.

Tote Ten to Follow asks participants to assemble stables of 10 horses whose collective performance will be aggregated in points from 16th June (the opening day of Royal Ascot) to 17th October (Champions Day). Applying feedback from the Jumps season, players now benefit from advanced dual-mode functionality whereby they can choose from either Simple Mode (a straightforward selection of 10 horses) or Pro Mode which seamlessly facilitates a myriad range of permed stables.

Improved gameplay centres around some of the more popular elements of fantasy football (from design-your-own silks to private leagues) which harness both the creative fun and the competitive instincts of casual racing fans and committed bettors alike. These innovations cultivate digital dwell-time and encourage return visits, as players assess their positions and chase a series of mouthwatering paydays throughout a condensed Flat season.

SportCaller’s market-leading FTP platform also showcases a variety of intuitive tools that allow players to monitor where and when each of their selections is entered, alongside a definitive history of race results cataloguing any points accrued for every horse. Helpful filters (e.g. trainer or horse searches), running off industry-leading Racing Post content, also secure quick-fire selection criteria from a deep database.

Minimum prize money of £100,000 is guaranteed for the competition – and, once again, there will be 0% takeout from the prize pool. As a result, unimpaired distribution will follow between four monthly winners (£10,000), with 70% of the remaining pool going to the winner of the overall game, and the other 30% being distributed in tiered fashion between those players placed second to 100th.

Rob Painter, Chief Marketing Officer for the Tote, said: “It’s great to be working with SportCaller again to bring Tote Ten to Follow back for what is set to be a very exciting Flat season. This launch marks another important step in our plans to redevelop the Tote for a contemporary racing audience that demands multi-platform engagement, particularly on mobile where mainstream smartphone-adoption is manifest.

“The historic popularity of Tote Ten to Follow continues undimmed and the SportCaller platform lets us devise and implement new technology that sets the pace in a modern digital age, connecting with all demographics across racing’s loyal fan-base.”

Cillian Barry, SportCaller MD, added: “It’s always a thrill to get back to our formative racing days which have seen us originate racing games like Pick 6 and ITV7. Of course, classics like Tote Ten to Follow never lose their core appeal. Yet, it’s important to innovate and adapt, so your product can stand out and thrive in an increasingly competitive arena.

“It’s great to see the positive reception, as our proprietary platform ramps up engagement across all operator platforms, elevating the player experience on a sport whose powers of retention and customer loyalty are second to none.”

As gamers navigate this gambling experience, they are seeking reliable internet casinos; like every human on the planet, they want to feel safe. Alongside other reputable sites like Sportaza, 1xBet, 22Bet, and others, gamers have a variety of alternatives to pick from.

The French Gambling market is going to keep growing, like in every country in the world. Experts say that this growth is driven by online casinos constantly implementing new technologies, which keep players engaged.

Innovative Technology in Online Gaming

New technology in gambling is everywhere, be it an online gaming house. Over the past several years, mobile gambling has been one of the leading driving forces for growth. People are leaving offline gaming for mobile gambling. Nobody ever heard of mobile gambling a decade ago, but now, a thousand casinos offer the games on mobile apps. You can easily check the mobile casino and make money while in transit or as you ride on a bus. France is not an exception. It keeps up with the latest world trends, and its mobile gambling value is growing as well.

However, it is not only mobile gambling that drives the growth of online casinos. There are also a few other factors, such as:

  • Online gaming operators are adopting social media to promote their online casinos and attract new customers who can sign up and enjoy playing on their websites and mobile applications.
  • Artificial intelligence: AI focuses on collecting data concerning gamers’ gaming tendencies and then forming patterns based on them. In order to make them play more, game developers then employ these designs that make the games more interesting to players.
  • The emergence of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies has transformed the gambling experience, making it more interesting for gamers by integrating them into beautiful computerized worlds. These advancements make it possible to transport the mood of a land-based casino directly to your home if you own requisite compatible devices.

However, all these elements have not just promoted growth in the past but will also do so soon.

Conclusion 

In particular, the online betting industry in France continues to grow and is expected to reach nearly $4.12 billion by the end of 2024. This is attributed to a number of factors, including the rising trend of mobile gaming, advertisement techniques on social media sites, and advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR). These aspects are meant to make gambling more exciting and attract new entrants into the sector, further enhancing its growth rate. As the generation continues to enhance, the destiny of online Gambling in France appears promising, with many new possibilities on the horizon.

Sought-after software provider teams up with award-winning aggregator in huge new deal

Leading developer of premium online casino games, Boldplay, has announced the completion of a brand-new partnership agreement with Alea that will see its full suite of over 100 titles added to the latter’s ever-expanding portfolio.

With the current Boldplay line-up boasting cutting edge slots like the recently-launched Paddy’s Pints and the heavyweight smash, Brute Force, as well as table games, bingo and keno releases and virtual scratch cards, the deal will enable the provider to connect with new players around the globe while also helping Alea significantly broaden the range of titles it supplies to operators.

Boasting a catalogue of well over 10,000 releases, Alea is considered to be one of the industry’s premier casino game aggregators and has many awards to prove it.

Launching in 2019, Boldplay has carved out an equally formidable reputation in iGaming thanks in no small part to its engaging games, rewarding jackpots and signature free spins features. Resonating with both players and operators alike, the provider is currently certified to distribute games in the UK, Malta, Gibraltar, Isle of Man and Portugal, with more jurisdictions soon to follow.

As such, this meeting of two prominent industry players comes as great news for any online casino platforms that use Alea for their game aggregation needs, with operators now able to offer customers the hottest Boldplay titles without needing to update their existing integration.

Speaking on the new partnership with Alea, Boldplay Commercial Director, Gary Francis, said: “With well over 10,000 releases in their current line-up and multiple awards already under their belt, there can be no doubt that Alea are one of the iGaming industry’s top aggregators and we feel very honoured that they’ve now chosen to add Boldplay games to their prestigious portfolio.

“It goes without saying that such a high-profile collaboration will further Boldplay’s efforts to ensure our games are seen by as many players in as many markets as possible, but from an operator’s perspective, I think our titles will really help them increase engagement as they introduce users to a unique range of themes and features they won’t find from any other provider.”
