Paddy Power Virgin and BetFred Casino Software Developer IGT Innovates with New Game
09/04/13 12:40 Filed in: Casino News
International Game Technology (IGT) is a popular software developer whose work can be found on well loved sites like Paddy Power Casino, Virgin Casino and BetFred Casino. Now, with the release of its brand new game, Star Trek: Against All Odds, IGT is looking to revolutionize online casino play with one of its most involved titles to date.
IGT's latest game takes its theme (and some video clips) from 2009's Star Trek feature film. While licensed casino games are nothing new the real hook of Star Trek: Against All Odds involves the introduction of the kind of arcade-style skill systems typically found in videogames. The addition of an innovative new bonus mode (Enterprise Defender Bonus) enhances the game with a shoot 'em up gameplay feature that sees players given 45 seconds to take down incoming missiles. Performance during this bonus round can leads to awards multiplying up to 22,500 times. Regardless of the skills they're able to display during Enterprise Defender Bonus, Against All Odds comes packed with potential earnings through lucrative nine wheel bonuses and bi-directional payouts.
A statement from IGT's Europe, Middle East and Africa Interactive Commercial Director described Star Trek: Against All Odds as a title with "engaging gameplay" that will work to "[give the game] universal appeal." Members of IGT powered sites (such as Paddy Power, Virgin and BetFred's online casino offerings) will be able to try Against All Odds for themselves in the near future.

Paddy Power and 888 Share Strong Earnings Reports for First Half of 2012
18/09/12 10:03 Filed in: Casino | General News
While the global economy may not be at its strongest, online gaming networks Paddy Power and 888 have just shared figures that demonstrate that they're remaining unaffected by the recession. Reports from the two companies show that their earnings in the first half of 2012 increased, demonstrating a sunny future for two of online gaming's most popular brands.
888.com's 2012 has been a good one, its key financial indicators showing a 21% increase in revenue alongside boosts in other important areas. A 2% decline in 888's bingo revenue has done little to slow the company down. Brian Mattingley, 888's CEO, was happy to discuss his business' favourable first half of the year. Mattingley said that much of the success comes from a "tremendous increase in customer numbers" and credited "improvements in [888's] product offering." Paddy Power posted similarly positive figures for the first half of 2012, reporting a (pre-tax) profit increase of 21%, growth in the Australian market, a 50% increase in customer acquisition and a 41% growth in active customers. Paddy Power's CEO, Patrick Kennedy, stated that the company's 2012 success was due to a strong focus on "[promoting] our brand, products and Money-Back Specials."
Mattingley said that 2012's earnings — "the highest revenues in the history of 888" — will be directed toward increasing investment in the United States and Spain while also improving 888's mobile and desktop software. Paddy Power's Kennedy described plans to continue focus on business expansion after its successful launch in Italy this year.

Paddy Power Poker Launches New Oktoberfest Themed Promotion
13/09/12 19:43 Filed in: Poker | Poker News
Paddy Power Poker is already making big plans for this year’s Oktoberfest. In order to help celebrate the world famous beer festival the poker network has just launched a new promotion that will send three lucky competitors to Munich, Germany to celebrate the event in style.
Paddy Power’s Pokertoberfest has already begun and will run until 9th September. The promotion requires Paddy Power members to register for the event before they’re sorted into different competition categories based on their past performance. Players with 500 Power Points (or more) are automatically entered into the €4,500 Pokertoberfest Freeroll — an event that offers a chance at a share of €1,000 in cash and/or an Oktoberfest prize package. Paddy Power members who have participated in a grand final leaderboard and three points races will be able to compete in a freeroll that comes with €7,750 and, for the event’s winner, an Oktoberfest prize package. Players who have won two points races and a grand final leaderboard will be able to play in yet another event that comes with €6,750 and an Oktoberfest package. The three Pokertoberfest prize packages are valued at €3,500 and include a sightseeing trip through Munich (sponsored by Segway), a guided tour of the city’s best restaurants and eateries, two nights of accommodations, VIP dinners, free entry and, of course, access to one of the best Oktoberfest parties taking place at one of Munich’s nightclubs.
A statement from Paddy Power Poker described its Pokertoberfest as a great “way to banish the summer blues” and “hit Oktoberfest this autumn with some of [Paddy’s] loyal players.”

Fans of online gaming will be pleased to hear the most recent news from Paddy Power. The company, having just inked a deal with industry-leading software developer Playtech, is now set to bring a new line-up of fantastic games to portable devices.
Paddy Power’s deal with Playtech marks the first time the two companies have made a software supply deal since the latter organization acquired Mobenga, developers who specialize in creating games for mobile devices. This agreement means that Paddy Power members will now be able to play a total of nine new games (including a number of different slots options alongside blackjack and roulette) while on the go. Playtech gained access to Mobenga’s skill in mobile game development after last year’s acquisition and this new deal with Paddy Power should help to bring their catalogue of titles to more players than ever before. Playtech mentioned that the joint venture between itself and Paddy Power will not only benefit the businesses themselves, but also help consumers by giving them a way to access a large number of mobile games from a single, streamlined application.
Playtech’s Head of Mobile, Daniel Orkan, described the deal as “a milestone [in] terms of merging Playtech and Mobenga’s expertise” while adding that his company expects the “venture with Paddy Power to be a great mutual success, setting the stage for future developments.” Members of sites from the Paddy Power network will be able to play the new games in the very near future.

Paddy Power, an industry leading online gaming network, has always been quick to seize on opportunities that bring their service to as many players as possible. Now, in a recent move that follows this tradition, the company is expanding on its previous forays into mobile gaming by releasing even more titles for on-the-go users to enjoy.
The new mobile games from Paddy Power have been created in partnership with software developer, International Game Technology (IGT). IGT and Paddy, after months of work, have now announced a wide range of fresh games that include smartphone-ready iterations of Jacks or Better video poker, 20+ Blackjack, Cleopatra, Monopoly Multiplier and much more. IGT formed its interactive division, specializing in the creation of mobile gaming software, after it merged with WagerWorks and Million 2-1 last December. Paddy Power signed a deal with the developers shortly after this move and can be expected to release even more new portable titles through the partnership in the near future.
Paddy Power’s decision to embrace mobile gaming is part of the online gaming industry’s wider trend in transitioning to smartphone-user support.
