Spintec Introduces a Host of New Products at G2E

Published

on

Spintec’s newest Charisma line has attracted significant global attention with its refined balance between relaxation and intense focus on the game. Its cutting-edge design stands out, featuring immersive, crystal-clear graphics on high-resolution monitors, alongside user-friendly, intuitive touchscreen controls and seating comfort.

Building on this success, Spintec introduced a host of additional surprises and innovative solutions at this year’s G2E. They all feature the best that Charisma has to offer, while catering to a multitude of casino settings and entertainment needs.

For example, they showed how easy it is to organize a live tournament featuring several different games and transforming a casino into a dynamic social gaming venue. Charisma in an amphitheater setting can incorporate live, automated and virtual tables, engage more than 200 players, include a choice of different games and combinations of games, and provide lots and lots of fun!

What about Craps? Spintec can’t afford to miss out on all the fun, so they have proudly introduced Charisma Craps at this year’s G2E. They showed a version that seats four and comes complete with an attractive animated topper and LED lighting.

For casinos that need more adaptive playing stations for individual players, they have developed a revolutionary new stand-alone version of Charisma. A player can enjoy an array of different games at their own station, spanning from virtual (Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps/Sic-bo), to automated (Roulette, Craps/Sic-bo) or take part in live games at the venue or elsewhere (Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat).

And for the venues with more restricted floor availability, the new Charisma 5 Roulette is a perfect compact solution. It can fit into small or crowded spaces with height limitations and still be an eye catcher with its animated topper and signage. It features roulette and other games individually or as a multigame setup. Who says elegance can’t be adaptable and fun?

As a last surprise, Spintec introduced a stellar new game called Galactic Spin to the American market at this year’s G2E. Galactic Spin successfully enhances the engagement of the players with large payouts and three different games that take place after the bets are closed. The downtime of waiting for the ball to drop now becomes the most thrilling part of the game and the entire roulette cycle becomes an incredibly engaging stage.

With all these new offerings, Goran Sovilj, Spintec’s Global Sales director, says: ” We’re excited to have shown the latest innovative additions to the Charisma line that enhance the gaming experience, from live tournaments to multigame solutions. It was a great success and just the beginning of what’s to come.”

Goran MiĆĄkulin, CEO of Spintec, shared his thoughts on the company’s direction:

“This year has been transformative for us in many ways, and our latest product introductions are a testament to our continuous innovation. With the launch of Spintec 2.0, our new strategic framework, we are focused on further enhancing operational efficiency, product development, and market expansion. We are confident that these efforts, along with our strengthened partnership with Merkur, will propel us to new heights and accelerate our growth. As we begin this new chapter, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.”

Lottery Courier Jackpot.com Launches Digital “Scratchers”

Published

on

Jackpot. com – the online lottery courier service that allows consumers to purchase official state lottery tickets on their phone, tablet, or computer – announced today the launch of its digital scratch ticket offering in Massachusetts, Ohio, and Texas. This new offering enables customers to play official state scratch tickets on all their devices.

Coupling the convenience of buying scratch tickets digitally with quick transaction and processing times, Jackpot. com aims to be the preferred provider of digital scratch tickets.

“Unlike traditional draw-based lottery games with set draw times, scratch tickets offer players instant excitement,” explained Akshay Khanna, CEO and co-founder of Jackpot. com. “At Jackpot, we prioritize delivering the fastest and most comprehensive digital scratch card experience, ensuring that the excitement of instant results is always at your fingertips.”

Scratch tickets encompass roughly two-thirds of the $100+ billion U.S. lottery market. With higher price points, better prize payout percentages, and the instant gratification of playing, it is no secret why.

However, the online lottery courier service to-date has struggled with the expediency of ticket delivery. According to a recent report by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, it took 30-90 minutes for couriers to fulfill the scratcher process – now with its unique scratching technology, Jackpot. com delivers the industry’s fastest online lottery scratch card experience. In addition, the courier has also completed a comprehensive business process review by Gaming Laboratories International (GLA), ensuring its method for ordering and processing lottery scratch tickets is accurate and functions as expected for both

Jackpot. com and the player. As such, Jackpot. com’s online Scratcher offering has been confirmed to operate as designed and intended, validating the customer’s online experience and the ability to track the online purchase of state lottery tickets.

Jackpot. com offers customers the excitement of scratching a physical ticket in a digital environment. When a customer purchases a scratch ticket through Jackpot. com, they can use their touchscreen or mouse to “scratch” the screen and uncover their scanned ticket and possible winnings. Prizes up to the state’s retail claim threshold are instantly credited to the customer’s account, which can then be redeemed for cash or used to buy additional lottery tickets. For larger wins, Jackpot. com assists customers in claiming their prize(s) directly from the official state lottery.

Players in Massachusetts will have access to eight unique Scratchers upon the launch, including Lifetime Millions and the nation’s first-ever JAWS instant ticket. Debuted earlier this year in honor of next summer’s 50th anniversary of the JAWS theatrical release, the instant ticket gives players the opportunity to win instant grand prizes of $1 million, as well as Second Chance Drawings in which 30 winners will be awarded a JAWS-inspired trip for two to Martha’s Vineyard in the summer of 2025.

In Ohio, Jackpot. com launches with eight Scratchers, including three of the state’s most popular scratch-off games – Billion ($50), Lady Luck ($20) and Golden Casino ($10).

Jackpot. com will launch with seven Scratchers in Texas, including the popular 500x and Jackpot Millions.
