SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
A new set of instant sports and games and a new channel for 3×3 Basketball will take centre stage for Golden Race at ICE London.
Real Fighting is the headline addition to this instant collection for the company’s online platform – alongside 3×3 Basketball, 3D Horse Racing, Dog Racing, Speedway, Motorbikes and Virtual Keno.
Based on the increasingly popular MMA, the game is a “seamless blend of real high definition video action and 3D digital worlds” featuring 16 professional fighters.
The odds are based on real fight action and each fighter has their own unique physical characteristics, style and catchy nickname.
Each combat includes up to five rounds, a wide variety of popular betting markets and with the possibility to bet on a different result for each round (Victory Combo).
All of the instant games include a ‘skip’ feature that allows players to move instantly between the different phases of the games, without having to place a bet or watch the video.
Martin Wachter, Golden Race CEO, said: “We are very pleased to present a variety of instant sports that are completely unique in the market, along with our new hyper realistic Virtual Football product and several other betting solutions at Stand S2-322.
“We recommend our visitors book a meeting in advance through our website, to make sure that we can discuss the best offer according to their needs.”
The virtual sports and betting solutions provider is, therefore, debuting an online version of 3×3 Basketball – the first virtual game in the industry with a cash-out function, which also offers in-play betting markets.
Footage for the game is pre-recorded using real players from the US and Europe and set on a customisable background with animated logos and ad placements. There are two types of betting: pre-match markets and in-play markets including for the last minute of the gameplay, where the cashout function is made available.
The betting markets for both of these types includes win-lose bets, handicaps (spread lines), total lines and race to 21 – a set of markets that guarantees attractive betting opportunities for players even in games that are no longer competitive in the final minute.
Wachter also references the new version of Golden Race’s Virtual Football, to be showcased for the first time at ICE London – a game which he believes has “taken a qualitative visual leap forward to become the most authentic 3D football simulation”.
He continued: “Mastering the latest motion capture trends, our expert Visual FX team has developed a full set of proprietary technologies that establish a major precedent in the virtual games industry.”
An authentic football stadium has been recorded with on-site scanning, while the matches are given extra realism through sports commentators and true sports camera angles captured by professional cameramen. The game is said to feature real odds for every major league and tournament in the world.
