CORE Gaming, the world-leading HTML5 gambling software house, is offering a new game experience this Halloween.

In online gaming, few thrills can compare with developing a new game and watching it become a runaway success. Is there anything better? There’s a buzz and players latch onto it. They tell their friends, the engagement climbs and the excitement builds. Operators are on the phone, trying to anticipate the next release. The reputations of game developers are made – or broken – by the performance of the content that carries their name. When it comes to real-money online gaming with so much at stake, few can argue with this survival-of-the-fittest culture. The problem, often, is that these developers can bask in the reflected glory of their last release for too long, rather than focusing on the next potential hit.

Under the terms of the agreement, CORE Gaming will provide its award-winning games through Rank’s range of online sites from later this month. CORE Gaming will initially launch nine titles, each of which are optimised for both mobile and desktop, including the popular Beehive Bedlam Reactors, Colossus Fracpot and Scratch 4. CORE Gaming already provides its range of HTML5 games to industry giants such as Sky Vegas, Ladbrokes and Paddy Power Betfair. The developer’s reputation was confirmed when it was acquired by Sky Betting & Gaming in June 2016. Mark Rehorst-Smith, Chief Commercial Officer of CORE Gaming, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be dealing with Rank Group, which is one of the biggest and best operators in the gambling industry. “We’ve been working at this relationship for some time now, and it’s great to see all the hard work paying off with what is a fantastic deal for both parties. I look forward to seeing our games launch with Rank Group and extending the relationship with further titles in the future. “Our ability to reach out to more and more major operators is yet more evidence of our growing reputation in the industry.” Ciara Nic Liam, Head of Casino and Games at Rank Group, said: “CORE Gaming is becoming increasingly well known in the industry, and we are delighted to be taking their games, which we believe will improve our offering. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with CORE Gaming, and look forward to developing our partnership.”

The Free Spin features: - Pink Jackpot: 500 Free Spins with Stacked Wilds. Extra Wild symbols stacked in threes are added to the reels. - Blue Jackpot: 750 Free Spins with Expanding Wilds. Any Wild symbols that land in view on reels 1 to 5 will expand to fill the whole reel aperture. - Gold Jackpot: 1000 Free Spins with Colossal Wilds. Extra Colossal Wild symbols, that can span across reels, are added to the reels.

With UEFA Euro 2016 just days away, the two companies have unveiled Scratch and Match, a series of four great scratchcards, on Ladbrokes’ website. The cards, which follow the success of CORE Gaming and Ladbrokes’ market-leading titles such as Scratch 4 Diamonds, each offer at least four fun-filled chances to win. Depending on their stake, players are able to scoop an incredible top prize of up to £250,000. Mark Rehorst-Smith, CORE Gaming’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “Scratchcards are among the most popular games we offer, and customers love it when we bring out something new. “It’s fantastic to partner with such a huge company as Ladbrokes on this range of Scratch and Match games, and we think their online and mobile players will have great fun scratching away this summer.” The Scratch and Match Trophy card costs just £1, while Scratch and Match League is £2, Scratch and Match Premier is £5 and Scratch and Match Super Cup is £10. The four cards each offer the same four games, but the prizes on offer go up in value depending on the stake. In the first game players must scratch away at a series of football shirts, and a pay-out of up to £50 is guaranteed if they reveal a ‘No.7’. In game two players must find a ‘Goal’ within one of six symbols to win a fixed prize. The really big money is available in games three and four, with players simply needing to match three symbols to win up to £10,000 on the £1 card, or an incredible £250,000 through the Super Cup option. Premier and Super Cup players get an extra chance to win huge sums should they reveal a golden symbol. They then proceed to the ‘Golden Bonus’ round in which, should they score, Premier players can win up to £100,000 and Super Cup aces can grab a £250,000 top prize. Rehorst-Smith added: “Customers can enjoy some real thrills from as little as a £1 stake, with some huge money on offer if they are successful. With so many different ways to win there are no boring goalless draws with Scratch and Match! “We are all really looking forward to the Euros at CORE Gaming. Who knows, maybe some of the big winners can put their cash prizes towards seats to watch England in the final in Paris on 10 July!”

The instant win game, which is already available on Sky Vegas, offers players the chance of turning £1 into £25,000, with an incredible £250,000 on offer from a £10 stake. Football Frenzy takes place on a bagatelle-style pitch, with the player aiming to hit one of three trophies to win big money. Gamers are helped along the way by ‘free-kick’ and ‘penalty’ bonuses as they enjoy the kind of thrills and drama that will be on offer at the Euros in France next month. Mark Rehorst-Smith, Chief Commercial Officer of CORE Gaming, said: “With England, Northern Ireland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland all set to take on the continent’s elite at the European Championships, Football Frenzy is sure to entice players who just can’t get enough of the game.” Football Frenzy begins with the ball fired onto the pitch, where it pings off players as it works its way to the bottom of the screen and one of six zones – three winning trophy areas, and three misses. Two of those trophies secure a ‘win’ for players, while the central ‘Golden Goal’ opens up a second screen where the kind of cash that would excite a top Premier League star can be won. On this ‘Golden Goal’ level, the player fires a shot into the goal, with prizes of up to £250,000 available, depending on which part of the net is struck. Rehorst-Smith added: “As always with CORE Gaming’s releases, Football Frenzy offers great visuals and playability, as well as life-changing cash prizes. This is sure to be as much of a hit as a winning goal from Harry Kane in Paris on July 10.”

Available at Sky Vegas, Jackpotz is a 3-reel, 5-line slot in which players can win up to an incredible £250,000 / €250,000. Jackpotz also includes all the top-end graphics, smart visuals and playability one would expect from CORE Gaming thanks to the developer’s deployment of cutting edge WebGL 3D technology. Jackpotz begins with a standard slot set-up, as players spin in the hope of matching three-of-a-kind symbols on any of the win lines. The chances of cash prizes are raised by features such as wilds, which complete a line, and Mega Streak, in which players are guaranteed to win on every one of up to 20 free spins. It is the progressive pots that separate Jackpotz from other slots, however, and these come into play when the on-screen game logo randomly lights up and the Jackpotz Trigger is released. At this point, players are certain of winning either the cash contents of at least one of the pots or a consolation prize, with their winnings determined when the reels come to a halt. Mark Rehorst-Smith, Chief Commercial Officer of CORE Gaming, said: “This is just the kind of game that we believe slots fans will love. The beauty of Jackpotz is that it combines the simplest of slots games with the innovation and excitement of the seven progressive pots, from which players can grab huge prizes. “Pot 1 will keep players coming back for more with frequent drops and Pot 7 could drop one of those life-changing amounts we’re all playing for.”

The agreement will initially cover five of CORE Gaming’s most successful titles, including Scratch 4, Sky’s the Limit, Beehive Bedlam and 3 Card Brag. The games are set to go live with Paddy Power Betfair in May, alongside the established casino, games and sportsbook verticals. The initial roll out of five games marks the start of a long-term relationship between Paddy Power Betfair and the award-winning software house, with the launch of more content already being discussed for this year and beyond. Incidentally, Paddy Power – which merged with Betfair earlier this year in one of the gaming industry’s biggest ever deals - was the first operator that CORE Gaming sold content to around a decade ago. Since then CORE Gaming has attracted partners such as Amaya, Sky Vegas and William Hill. Justin Chamberlain, Chief Executive of CORE Gaming, said: “Paddy Power was the first customer we sold content to back in 2006 with our historic ‘Reverse Auction’ service. To have come full circle and now include them in our list of prestigious tier-one UK customers is a fitting milestone for our 10th year in the industry.”

The 25-line slot, with five bonus features, offers players a unique experience, with a maximum possible payout of £250,000 and a theoretical return to the player of up to 94.36%. In the game, which is available on SkyVegas.com, Evel sets up camp for the night along the dusty Nevada road leading to Vegas. The player can reminisce with him as they take in the sights and experience his legendary jumps at Wembley Stadium and the Grand Canyon whilst looking back on his incredible career by flicking through the pages of his photo album. The player can then control him at high-octane speeds along Route 66, traversing ramps and obstacles to win big money. Evel Knievel Road to Vegas features are activated by three, four or five ‘star’ scatter symbols landing anywhere on the reels. Once a player triggers a bonus, a feature wheel is presented, carrying marks of all five bonus rounds. Evel spins the wheel and one of the five features is randomly awarded. Route 66: Steer Evel on his bike through a series of 10 daring stunts to win cash prizes. Players interact with the screen to accelerate, being careful not to go too fast and flip the motorbike. Sky Cycle: Fifteen free spins are awarded with Lock n Load symbols. Set at the Grand Canyon, Evel zooms past the reels in his rocket bike, engulfing symbols with fire and locking them in place to gain potentially big wins. Memory Bank: Flip through Evel’s scrapbook and choose eight pictures from his most famous jumps to hunt for prizes. Find hidden ‘stars’ to turn the pages, which may award bigger wins. To The Limit: A free spins feature that will award an unlimited number of random free spins, with a random multiplier applied to any winning combination. Evel revs his bike beside the reels – spinning them on and on. Watch out for the ‘stop’ symbol on reel three as this will stall Evel’s bike to halt the feature. Jump For Glory: A super volatile feature based on the daredevil’s famous Wembley jump, giving you three chances to win big. Evel will perform the jump three times, trying to collect the cash values that float above a long line of buses. Will he crash or will he collect big money? Road to Vegas also has two ‘reel modifiers’ which trigger randomly within the base game. Even if you think you have a losing spin, Evel can jump from his chair and strike the reels, causing a respin that awards a win or pulls a lever that sets off the pyrotechnics and changes symbols to wilds. “CORE is very proud to present our second game under the Evel Knievel brand,” CORE Gaming Creative Director Simon Rideout said. “We have really pushed the devices to their limits on this production, using our new particle engine wherever possible. Also experimenting with physics, device vibration and animation very rarely seen on mobile devices using HTML5. Our first release of Evel Knievel was a major success for us and we are certain this will follow suit.”

The five-reel random slot, which is based on an Egyptian theme, is now live on Sky Vegas and is already ranked in the top five slots on the gaming platform in terms of margin as well as being top of the table in terms of visitor numbers. With 20 fixed-win lines and three bonus features, players are rewarded for matching two, three, four or five-of-a-kind symbols with each spin, with a total win of £250,000 available by adjusting the odds through a gamble offering of up to four times the win. Punters, who can play for as little as 20p per stake, will be howling with excitement when the special wolf icons substitute for symbols to help create a line win, with three such symbols triggering a free spin bonus game. Pharaoh’s Wild also features a 20% chance of a surprise retrigger of wild spins, with an ancient mummy conjuring up a wild symbol to repeat the feature for at least five spins. The lucky mummy also appears at random while the reels are spinning, with multiple characters appearing to trigger three or more wilds. Justin Chamberlain, Chief Executive of CORE Gaming, said: “Pharaoh’s Wild has been a spectacular success so far on Sky Vegas, but is it any wonder? “With lots of opportunities to win and some exciting bonus features, it is only a matter of time before we hear of a huge winner on this game.” STORM Gaming Managing Director Richard Sheldon added: “The launch of our first joint game online with CORE has been phenomenally successful to date. “We are working closely with the CORE team to produce a two-year roadmap of games for online. The fact that the first game, Pharaoh’s Wild, has gone straight to the top of the charts, underlines the strength of our collaboration.”

The game, available now on Sky Vegas, is played on a virtual cabinet, giving players the feeling of ‘living it up’ in a luxury Las Vegas gaming resort. Vegas Lights, created in HTML5 and available on both mobile and desktop, is a 5-reel slot, with 20 standard win lines and up to 40 on bonus features. Packed with amazing graphics, state-of-the-art animations and sound effects and the offer of two gigantic bonus reels, Vegas Lights offers an authentic experience with the big pay-outs that players have come to expect from CORE Gaming. “We wanted to give players that feeling of the fun and drama of a night out in Las Vegas,” said Kevin Short, CORE Gaming’s Head of Product. “With the neon lights, the cabaret music and the buzz of the slots floor, we’ve hit the jackpot with Vegas Lights.” The game begins with a view of the cabinet screen, with players then spinning to try to win cash prizes through matching numbers or symbols. Collecting a pair of halves on reels 1 and 2 or 4 and 5 unlocks the ‘win spins’ and ‘free spins’ mega wheels, which sit on top of the cabinet and give players the chance to grab big bonuses and freebies. Short added: “There are loads of chances to win, and we think players will enjoy the Nevada experience on their smartphone or desktop.”

The on-demand title will utilise the CORE HTML5 framework and innovative WebGL 3D browser technology, which has been already been demonstrated to the public successfully through a Virtual Sports partnership with Sky Vegas. With household names such as multiple world champions Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi, Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa, the world’s premier motorcycle-racing series has a loyal following of tens of millions of fans across the globe. To complement this groundbreaking partnership, Sam Lowes, one of MotoGP’s up-and-coming British riders, will serve as a CORE Gaming brand ambassador through to 2017. Lowes will be on the Storm stand (N1, 243) from 12-1pm at ICE this Tuesday, February 2. Justin Chamberlain, Chief Executive of CORE Gaming, said: “This partnership with Dorna Sports offers our customers the chance to tap into MotoGP, a globally-recognised and revered brand. “MotoGP is massively popular worldwide, and you only need to see one race packed full of incidents, speed and skill to see why that’s the case. Our goal is to bring that same high-octane action into our Virtual Sports portfolio and to keep pushing boundaries in the industry.” Pau Serracanta, Managing Director of Dorna’s Commercial Area, added: “Reaching this agreement with CORE Gaming is an important step into the world of online gambling, with its Virtual Sports game giving users the chance to enjoy MotoGP on a whole new level, immersing them even further into the sport they love. “I look forward to this new partnership with CORE Gaming and eagerly await the game’s release.”

Ladbrokes, which has more than 800,000 active customers, said that the deal with CORE Gaming will help put it at the forefront of multi-channel developments. Richard Poole, Head of Product & Commercial for Ladbrokes Digital, said: “Ladbrokes is delighted to sign an agreement with CORE Gaming and deliver Reel Force 5. This deal will further strengthen our position online and fits in with our strategy to work with best-of-breed suppliers. CORE Gaming come with a fantastic pedigree in HTML5 development and our deal with CORE Gaming puts us in a great position in the market for new game delivery. “Ladbrokes have some exciting games lined up for 2016 and we look forward to growing our relationship with a company that has such an exciting future as CORE Gaming.” Reel Force 5, a superhero-themed, 25-line slot, has the great playability, fun and bonuses that players have come to expect from CORE Gaming titles. Justin Chamberlain, Chief Executive of CORE Gaming, said: “This is a fantastic development for us and, we believe, for Ladbrokes. “We are delighted to be providing them with our market-leading games, and are confident that our content can give their impressive digital growth an extra boost. “We can promise Ladbrokes and their customers some fabulous games and innovative new releases heading into 2016.”

The two companies, who are working together on a host of innovative projects, began their association with the release, last week, of a suite of on-demand Virtual Racing games through Sky Vegas. The new game was created through a collaboration between SIS’s use of 3D HTML, the very latest 3D browser technology and CORE Gaming’s market-leading HTML framework. The racing games are a first-of-its-kind offering as they allow punters to bet on horse, greyhound and cycle racing whenever and wherever they want, due to the truly on-demand nature of the offering, optimised for play via mobiles and tablets, but also playable on desktop. In addition, there are two quick-fire, seasonal racing games, based on Santas racing in two fun formats. Justin Chamberlain, Chief Executive of CORE Gaming, said: “Our partnership with SIS is a natural progression in our mission to push the technological boundaries in the gambling industry. “SIS has developed superb browser-based playouts which we have successfully integrated into our world-leading HTML framework, making them available on demand to players across any channel. “By taking what SIS had achieved and adding a little CORE magic, we knew that Sky Vegas would be keen to be first movers for this product and we were happy to be instrumental in bringing the parties together. “We want to shake up the space with new ways for players to engage with virtual sports and new technologies for our operator partners to leverage better financial performance from these games.” These on-demand racing games, available in 2D and 3D, can be continually updated throughout their lifetime, are sure to be a hit with punters, who will appreciate the ease-of-play through the slick and stylish user interface. Odds are available on all six runners in each race, with bets available including Win, Each Way, Forecast and Tricast before the player presses the ‘start race’ button. Marc Thomas, Head of Product for SIS, said: “We are really excited to be working with CORE Gaming because of their unparalleled position as one of the most innovative companies in the games development sector today. “This is just the first in a number of unique mobile initiatives that we will bring to market together - delivering fast gameplay, low data consumption for users and a high return for our clients across mobile and online casino. These innovative new games offer an on-demand sports betting experience, with a casino mechanic, which provides operators with a real crossover product for their sites.”

Dave, from Durham, played just 10 rounds of the £2 instant win game on his mobile phone before clinching the huge jackpot prize. ‘Pan for Gold’, created by CORE Gaming, is set in the Wild West and offers players the chance to dip their plate into the water three times and attempt to pluck out precious metals and gems. The game, which uses mobile motion technology and is also available on desktop, offers two opportunities to win, with players able to earn cash prizes by collecting three of the same jewels or gathering golden nuggets. Picking up a hat-trick of turquoise gems returns £2 to players, while three pearls nets the jackpot of £25,000. Pieces of gold are stored in a separate bank and can be retained for future games. Once players have eight nuggets, these are then weighed and could be worth up to £25,000. Kev Short, CORE Gaming’s head of production, said: “We are delighted that Dave has taken this golden prize, especially just a few weeks before Christmas. It shows that dreams really can come true and we wish him all the best. “We are very proud of this game and, apart from offering great prizes, we think players will find ‘Pan for Gold’ a really fun experience.”

The release, set in the gold rush era, offers a huge £25,000 jackpot and is available through SKY Vegas.

Players simply buy a £2 card, choose one of six locations on a map of the gold rush and then get three chances to find gems as they dunk their sifting pan. Mobile gamers are prompted to shake or swipe their device – with desktop players told to click and drag - to reveal golden nuggets, precious gems and unwanted odds and ends.

‘Pan for Gold’ is the first HTML5 game of its kind to use the device itself to interact with the game.

Kev Short, CORE Gaming’s Head of Production, said: “This game has truly been a team effort.

“The initial thought process of using the device to enhance the player experience of a game, was developed as part of CORE’s ongoing research and development program designed to keep them at the forefront of mobile gaming technology.”

If the player gathers three of the same gems during the dunks, then the corresponding win is awarded – from £2 for turquoise gems all the way up to £25,000 pearls.

Golden nuggets are collected in a separate pot and are retained should any further scratch cards be bought, giving players an incentive to keep enjoying the game.

Lucky gold-diggers that obtain eight nuggets enter the Bank bonus feature, where they can weigh their haul and win huge prizes up to £25,000.

Short added: “Using all our in-house expertise, the development team has done an outstanding job to deliver this creative and ultimately fun gaming experience.”

The deal will allow Storm Games access to CORE’s award-nominated online software portfolio, enabling Storm to reproduce the same content for land-based markets. Industry-leading titles such as CORE’s Colossus Fracpot, Reel Force Five, Evel Knievel and the latest Fracpot Warrior game - being produced for William Hill - will all be made available across the Storm estate in 2016.

Richard Sheldon, Managing Director of Storm Games Limited, commented: “CORE’s content has proven a commercial success. Storm, CORE and retailers are keen for an omni-channel approach with successful gaming content. This agreement means that CORE’s content will now be made available in all sectors of land-based gaming.”

Justin Chamberlain, CEO of CORE Gaming, which is based in Solihull, UK, said: “Storm Games was a natural fit for us as they have demonstrated a proven track record of delivering both content to us, for online, and quality gaming terminals and content into pan-European retail markets.”

The first of the new content will be on display at ICE Totally Gaming 2016 on Storm Games’ new ‘Street Casino 2016’ UK Pub & Club gaming machines, at stand N1-243.

The software developer has launched four HTML5 games through the Sky Vegas platform for mobile and desktop gamers in the last few weeks, and will release six more before the end of October, including their flagship HTML5 Roulette game.

CORE Gaming is among the first developers to have launched single-code software for both platforms, and Chief Executive Justin Chamberlain said it was evidence of the company’s position at the forefront of gaming technology. Chamberlain commented: “This development proves once and for all that Flash is dead and that CORE Gaming must be considered among the best and most advanced content studios in the business.

“We are one of the first movers on this and our future content for Sky Vegas and all other operators will eventually have to support both mobile and desktop platforms given the inherent security issues around Flash, and considering it has now been blocked by the likes of Firefox”

Super 6 Instant Win was CORE Gaming’s first single-code offering for both desktop and mobile last month, with Colossus Fracpot, Hidden Treasures and The Sky’s The Limit going live earlier this month.

The 100 bonus level Beehive Bedlam Reactor game and Reel Force Five will be launched this week, with 3 Card Brag, Sky Video Poker and the Scratch4 suite going live two weeks later.

Traditional slots are designed to be an ‘all or nothing’ experience for the player to land the jackpot prize. In contrast, the Colossus game will enable players to cash-out their position between reels being resolved, including the option to cash-out in parts and thus continuing to play for a part of the jackpot prize.

Bernard Marantelli, founder and CEO of Colossus Bets said: “Partial cash-out has become a sports betting juggernaut, with industry leaders such as Bet365 and Paddy Power this year following the lead set by Colossus Bets when launching our sports pools with the feature in 2013. We believe that the application of partial cash-out to other gaming verticals will have a similarly transformational impact. The Colossus slot is the first in what will be a series of gaming products enabling players to bank profits as they progress through a game.”

Justin Chamberlain, CEO of CORE Gaming commented: “Slots have lacked real innovation for some time and become a battle of the brands. This Colossus ‘Fracpot’ slot represents real innovation and as a result the interest from operators has been huge. We are delighted that in Sky Vegas we have a top tier operator who is first to go live with the game and we are looking to develop a suite of partial cash-out games with Colossus Bets.”

Daniele Phillips, Head of Casino Marketing at Sky Betting & Gaming said: “We are really looking forward to launching a slot that could appeal to our large base of sportsbook customers actively using cash-out at Sky Bet. It gives us great cross-sell potential.”

The reactor game is the seventh release under a 20-product deal between CORE Gaming and Sky Vegas. The game will be available exclusively through Sky Vegas for six months.

Beehive Bedlam Reactors is based on the Beehive Bedlam social game, which was one of the most popular offerings through the Sky Games interactive TV platform for more than a decade.

The mobile and desktop game offers a pay-out of up to £250,000 – with a progressive jackpot of even more - while a free play option is also available.

Justin Chamberlain, CORE Gaming CEO, said: “It’s a fun and colourful game that’s based on a popular social gaming concept, and – just like the bees - players have told us that it gives them a real buzz.

“It’s made a great start with Sky Vegas, and we are pleased to say that it offers a good return to players.”

Beehive Bedlam Reactors is played on a 7×7 grid made up of hexagonal symbols. Players choose their stake and start to earn rewards when five or more of the same symbols become connected and burst.

As players progress, they unlock all 10 islands within 10 worlds, and are aided along the way by bonuses and ‘Free Falls’ free spins.

Beehive Bedlam Reactors will be available solely through Sky Vegas until February 2016, and will subsequently be available via Openbet and GECO platforms. CORE will provide 20 games through Sky Vegas by the end of the first quarter of 2016.

Chamberlain said: “CORE was one of the very first movers in developing HTML5 content for mobile, and our entire team is dedicated to delivering games to the highest levels of quality.

“Big operators such as Sky Vegas saw us as the best and most experienced HTML5 development house in the business. We have enjoyed building our relationship with them, which has only enhanced our reputation further.”
