Hacksaw Gaming live with Videoslots

The mobile games provider Hacksaw Gaming has recently announced their wishes of a bigger footprint on the global market. To achieve this, important puzzle pieces need to find their place. And adding Videoslots to its list of partners is one of them. Which will take them leaps and bounce closer to reach that goal. As Videoslots is a growing company, that has one of the biggest games portfolios and user base to date licensed to operate in the UK. Which is excellent news for the provider but also the growing demand for fresh content to the UK market and its players. William Ahlberg, Head of Games at Videoslots, said:

“This latest deal with Hacksaw Gaming marks yet another step forward in our journey to become the biggest and best online casino operator.”

More to come in the following weeks

But what does the partnership mean? Well, to start things off, the deal states that Hacksaw made games such as Happy Scratch, King Treasure, and Scratch! Bronze will be available to play on Videoslots from day one. With more titles to follow in a later stage, as soon as in the coming weeks. Now, we know that Videoslots has an impressive game content library, but adding Hacksaw makes perfect sense, which Ahlberg also pointed out. When asked about the new partnership, he mentioned that the quality of Hacksaw game portfolio is clear. And its wide variety of offerings are a welcome addition to Videoslots. Plus, he believes that the customer will love them. We have not yet seen any special registration bonuses from VideoSlots om Hacksaw Gaming slots but we hope they launch it soon!

Continued growth

This excitement isn’t one-sided as Marcus Cordes, COO at Hacksaw Gaming made plenty of positive comments towards the deal. And said the following after the joint venture reached the public. “Our journey seems to be going from strength to strength, and we are happy to see our library going live on Videoslots over the next few weeks. The popularity and level of excellence Videoslots have achieved over the past years is no secret. Therefore, having partnered up with another reliable operator within the industry is a step in the right direction into reaching our goal.” And we at CasinoAdvisers can only wish them both best of luck in their collaborations and hope that it will be fruitful in the end.

Evolutions Side Bet City

In recent news, we learned that Evolution launched a new product called Side Bet City. Which, according to the developer, will add something unique and different to their broad selection of poker alternatives they already have to offer. But what’s more, the poker room and its atmosphere is in the heart of Las Vegas in the 80s. Which, of course, means a lot of bright colours and shiny neon lights. So, up for a trip to Sin City to experience the new poker table first hand?

Best in the discipline

When it comes to live casino, no one does it better than Evolution Gaming. Which they have proven time after time in numerous award ceremonies. And to be ahead of the competition you need to be able to offer something new, ground-breaking, and exiting. And that is exactly what Evolution is doing with Side Bet City. Not only is it an easy way for players that are new to poker to learn. But it will also entice experienced players due to its big payouts. Indeed, with a paytable of 1000 to 1, the possibilities for hitting it big are real. Commented on the release was Evolution’s Chief Product Officer, Todd Haushalter. “The game will attract the widest range of players with the way the game plays out.” Plus, he also pointed out that. “Side Bet City is a fast, simple live poker game with big payouts.”

How does it work

First of all, you are not playing against the dealer or any other player. This allows an indefinite number of players to participate at once. In fact, you play against a paytable were winnings bases on all the normal poker hands. Players then place one or multiple bets on, if there will be a winning poker hand after 3, 5, or 7 cards have hit the table, simple as that. In addition to betting on a winning hand, the player may also place a bet on “All Lose.” In essence, after all the 7 cards are on the table and no winning hand displays, it’s a win. Finally, after every hand, the dealer will swap out the deck for a brand new one and repeat the process. In simpler words, this is poker with no waiting time.
