Innovation
Highlight Games started creating a name for themselves immediately upon arrival to the industry by creating innovative concepts and ideas that brought them to the attention of many within the industry.
Creating the first video virtual league in the shape of SoccerBet was the latest in a long list of exciting products and developments that have come from the talented team at Highlight Games.
SoccerBet
In late 2017, Cherry AB opted to purchase the further 26% stake it had the option to pick up in Highlight Games.
A few weeks later, it was announced that sports betting giant Eurobet had signed a deal to integrate Highlight Games titles into their portfolio,
Both of these deals came in the wake of the release of Highlight’s SoccerBet product, and that’s no coincidence.
“SoccerBet Italia is a revolutionary new, video rich virtual product, and we are excited to be at the forefront of its launch in our home market.” Said Carlo di Maio, Sportsbook Director at Eurobet, showing the level of attention the new product has received.
Evolution
Speaking of the product, Tim Green, CEO of Highlight, said:
“SoccerBet is the next step in the evolutions of virtuals, and the ideal solution for players and operators looking for something much closer to the real thing.
“This product has a universal appeal with sports fans all over the world, and our patent-protected use of archive footage makes SoccerBet the perfect fit alongside an operator’s virtuals or sportsbook offering, working seamlessly across retail, mobile and online.”
The innovative SoccerBet product combines ten second clips through each individual football fixture across multiple seasons to create a minute long match-up, so the results are random, and players get to enjoy classic moments from some of football’s most intense rivalries.
The product may have only been launched back in November 2017, but developments are already occurring, including the fact that SoccerBet is now available in both single games and league formats.
With brands like Eurobet already taking notice, and reports that conversations are being had with several other brands, SoccerBet looks ready to put Highlight Games on the map, and start them on their path towards the top of the competitive sports betting industry.
