Having launched its concept for a new style of game at Pitch ICE in 2015, carrying off the coveted Best Start-Up Award, Gamevy was back at ICE 2016 introducing a range of new games for online and mobile operators looking to offer something ‘a little bit different...’
Gamevy’s most recent game launch, Boss the Lotto, is a scratch game where the odds are stacked in the player’s favour with 43 good balls and only six bad. It was launched in the days prior to the ICE show with German and Austrian operator LottoLand and offers the chance for players to win £2.5m if they find all 43 balls. Te key is knowing when to cash out.
“Te acceptance for the game was immediate,” said Marketing Director, Helen Walton. “Over 10,000 players played the game in its first three days. Scratch was begging to be reinvented online. Most slots or scratch can be played endlessly on autoplay, as the result is completely predetermined. For Gamevy, this concept is anathema. Too many bookmakers offer the same selection of games, with endless slots or scratch instant wins. For any customers looking for something different, the choice is underwhelming. It leaves sites looking alike.”
“For too long scratchcards have been constrained by their heritage,” she added. “Te digital versions available are simply paper translated online. It’s crazy as the online arena allows for far more interesting interactions. Tat’s why our scratchcards are the first where player choices really matter. Rather than selling people a predetermined card – our wins are determined in play, through choices a player makes. Tere really is a million pounds available to win on every card.”
Te game’s instant success has certainly highlighted the opportunity to innovate in the sector. Gamevy brought a portfolio of new games to ICE including Sloto; the first lottery slots game where the player chooses their lucky numbers to play for a £5m jackpot.

Indeed, most people don’t think of games like this as being gambling. Our games offer a choice of different skills and high quality design that offers a real sense of jeopardy and excitement.”
Helen Walton, explained: “It’s important to note that whilst Gamevy is a gaming company, we’re not looking to cannibalise the existing gaming market. We’re looking to attract potential payers for whom online slots don’t really appeal and so create a new revenue stream for the gambling industry. Our games play differently. Tey’re like nothing else on the gambling market at the moment. Te choices and skills of our players make a difference, whether they’re hunting for the prize on a scratch, solving a puzzle or showing their trivia knowledge. We like everything we do to play differently to really stand out from the crowd.
“We aim to expand beyond the traditional core gambling audience to the 75 per cent of adults who enjoy playing the lottery and who are looking for a ‘softer’ gaming experience. We have several deals in place with operators in the UK that we can’t quite talk about yet and we’ll be looking to push into markets such as Poland, Czech and Brazil in the next coming months.”
