Real Dealer Takes Aim at Ontario with Hockey-Themed Roulette
The studio has leveraged its groundbreaking, cinematic production methods to create a new roulette game tailor-made for the hockey-loving Canadian market.
Cinematic table games producer Real Dealer Studios has entered a new arena of specialisation today with the release of its first sports-themed title, Hockey Fever Roulette.
Hosted by the actress Sarati, who takes on the role of dealer, the RNG game is set in a ‘man cave’ packed with sports memorabilia, thumping rock music and an upbeat, match-day atmosphere. Noticeably Canadian elements in the room’s décor are designed to make that nation’s fans feel right at home.
“While we expect this title to attract die-hard hockey fans from several countries, we made this game specifically with Ontario in our sights. It’s one of the key markets for our table games, and with the ice hockey world championship coming up next month, it really seemed like the perfect fit,” said Shane Cotter, Chief Product Officer at Real Dealer Studios.
Cotter noted that engineering a dealer-hosted game customised for both the market and the sportsbook cross-sell was made easier thanks to the flexibility of Cinematic RNG, the innovative, Hollywood-style production technique invented by Real Dealer. Under the process, professional actors, directors, and production crew deliver polished cinema-quality recorded video, which is then integrated into a random number generator-based game framework.
This video integration allows Sarati to appear to interact with the player in one-to-one fashion as she takes bets, spins the wheel and comments on the results – a leap forward in quality and realism compared with the rest of the RNG games sphere.
The studio’s most recent roulette title, Roulette with Rachael, starred Rachael Bower (Twin Peaks), and was released in February. It was followed by the March release of a blackjack game starring the same dealer.
As with Real Dealer’s other titles, Hockey Fever Roulette is available exclusively from Games Global.
EveryMatrix has expanded its partnership with tier-1 operator Pinnacle powering its new casino in Ontario, Canada, using CasinoEngine platform technology – the first time its platform solution has gone live in North America.
The latest agreement builds on the two companies’ previous collaboration that saw EveryMatrix’s CasinoEngine productivity platform power the well-known brand’s global casino offering.
The new launch takes the relationship to North America, marking EveryMatrix’s debut CasinoEngine platform integration in that market.
BonusEngine, EveryMatrix’s cross-vertical bonusing tool will be integrated in the second phase of launch. This will equip Pinnacle Ontario with a host of bonus types as well as AI-powered bonus abuse solution Bonus Guardian.
BonusEngine is the first of multiple engagement tools from EveryMatrix’s EngageSuite that Pinnacle plans to integrate.
With this comprehensive toolkit at its disposal, and the opportunity to add even more casino products in the future, Pinnacle Ontario can tailor campaigns, segment audiences, and reward players more effectively, creating a world-class digital entertainment experience for its customers.
EveryMatrix has more than 300 global customers and holds North American licences in Ontario, New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
Stian Enger Petersen, CEO, Casino, EveryMatrix, said: “This launch marks a key milestone for EveryMatrix as we bring our market-leading CasinoEngine platform to Canada for the first time.
“We’re delighted to expand our partnership with Pinnacle and support their ambitions in Ontario with a powerful combination of platform, content, and engagement tools that are proven to drive success.”
As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.
Let me be perfectly clear
Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.
Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.
We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.
To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.
Sincerely
Matt Zamroźniak
Chief Executive Officer
Prime Skill Games Inc.
