Incentive Games: New Products Release

Published

on

 

Incentive Games is a business-to-business (B2B) software developer specializing in building games which deliver value to the iGaming industry. Incentive Games’ proprietary software platform, STAR (Sports Tool for Acquisition & Retention), assists their clients to drive traffic through the gamification of real-life sports and betting events that people are passionate about. They then upsell highly customised versions of their clients’ high value products and services based on the user’s in-game choices and behaviour.

Whether reinvigorating stale userbases or building them from scratch, Incentive Games engages and monetises users by delivering high quality, dynamic gaming content set within a casual, social framework – making users go further.

Formerly ‘Premier Punt Group’, Incentive Games have been moving from strength to strength since completing their B2B rebrand in late 2018. Previously designing industry-specific customer acquisition and retention software, Incentive Games has diversified their offering significantly with general purpose products now applicable to any industry.

Incentive Games are announcing two new jackpot-driven products:

Predict 6, a score results predictor game, and
Quick 6, a single match fantasy game.

These games can be combined with other games into a single application or as progressive web apps (PWAs) located on the client website/app.

Both of these new games are market-ready and available on the new Incentive Games’ STAR platform – a single, centralised games platform which hosts their full range of products. Incentive Games’ clients can now ‘plug and play’, choosing from their full suite of games with each being fully customisable to different sports, leagues and more.

Combining these games in one platform offers a uniquely comprehensive fantasy sports experience for both seasoned fantasy players and the casual sports fan, with instantaneous match updates and best-in-class user experience from beginning to end. And this combination is likely to entice iGaming operators too, by allowing an upsell to both player and team markets by the nature of the two games.
To win the Jackpot in Predict 6, users must accurately predict score-lines from a day or week’s matchups, and for Quick 6; users are challenged to build the best performing fantasy team of players from a chosen match to beat out the competition. Once users have entered the competitions, Incentive Games’ proprietary algorithms take the user’s predictions and line-up selections and produce bespoke pre-populated betting slips tailored to each user that link directly to the same bet slips prepopulated on the client’s sportsbook.

Continuing from initial success in the UK and Africa, Incentive Games are expanding to target the US sports market. Beginning with deploying the ‘big 4’ American sports, American Football, Baseball, Basketball and Ice Hockey, with new games designed specifically for the Americas that offer a novel, localised user experience.

With stats refreshed live by the second, the ‘Sports Tool for Acquisition and Retention’ boasts industry-leading update latency – refreshing in seconds: with every pass, yard, hit, dunk, and goal users can keep up to date with the action live in-play and never miss out on the action.

Incentive Games will be exhibiting at this year’s Betting on Sports America conference in New Jersey. If you would like to book a meeting with Incentive Games at either event, please contact [email protected] or visit the team in New Jersey in April at stand number 428.

Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort Rising in Kings Mountain as First Year of Construction is Completed

Published

on

 

Significant construction has been completed during the first year of work on the $1 billion Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort in Kings Mountain, N.C., a site off Interstate-85 only 35 miles from Charlotte and close to the South Carolina border.

Construction on all aspects of the project is in full swing, with the foundations for the casino complex and hotel completed several months ago, the casino complex at its full height and expanding horizontally, and steel continuing to rise for the 24-story, 385-room hotel. The hotel tower framing is now 10 stories high, with an additional floor being added nearly every week. At completion, the hotel will be connected to the casino complex.

The casino complex includes the introductory casino on the first level, three levels of covered parking, a back-of-house level and top level with the main casino floor and restaurants. The introductory casino, set to open in spring 2026, will include 1350 slot machines, 20 table games, a 40-seat restaurant, a bar, sports betting kiosks, and Lucky North Rewards desk.

The introductory casino will replace the current temporary (prelaunch) casino, which continues to grow in popularity as it nears its fourth anniversary on July 1.

The main casino complex is targeted to open in 2027. It will be about 2 million square feet and feature:

• 4300 slot machines

• 100 table games

• 11 dining outlets, including a steakhouse, Italian restaurant, marketplace with six venues, café, and grab-and-go outlet

• A players lounge

• 11 bars, including a center bar and sports bar

• A 2700-space parking garage built under the casino complex and 800 surface parking spaces

The project has created hundreds of construction jobs. Upon completion, the casino resort will employ an estimated 2200 regional residents and citizens of the Catawba Nation.

“This casino resort will be an economic game changer for Catawba citizens and a force to drive the economy of Cleveland County and the City of Kings Mountain. This project is a testament to our resilience, our commitment to self-sufficiency, and our determination to build a better future for ourselves and our future generations,” Catawba Nation Chief Brian Harris said.

Harris noted the temporary casino is contributing to many community and charitable organizations in the region, and that will only increase as the full casino resort opens.

The project is being led by the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority under Vice President Trent Troxel, with Yates-Metcon as the construction general contractor; Delaware North as the gaming management, development and hospitality consultant; and SOSHNY Design architects.

“Once again, I want to thank the Cleveland County, City of Kings Mountain, federal and state leaders who have supported the Catawba Nation’s efforts develop the casino resort in its ancestral lands in North Carolina,” Harris said.

Work has also been completed on two key infrastructure projects for development of the permanent casino resort that were funded by the Catawba Nation: doubling the size of the Dixon School Road Bridge over I-85 near the casino entrance and installing new sewer lines near the casino.
