…HELLO 2018!


Gian Perroni CEO, Breakout Gaming Group


What do you think was the most important occurrence for the industry in 2017? I believe that the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies is one of the most exciting and important


developments in our industry over the past year, and this trend will continue over the next several years, as I expect 100% penetration as licensing jurisdictions adjust their regulatory policies. The benefits to merchants, players and affiliates are numerous.


What were the biggest events for you in 2017? We recently released two new sites; the


Matthew Rochman Head of Technology, OneTouch


What were the biggest launches for you in 2017? We launched baccarat with the hugely popular ‘squeeze’ feature, where players can slowly reveal their hand, thus making the game more realistic and exciting for people on the table. It has convinced us that we now have the


best mobile baccarat on the market, and always gets prospective operators excited and enthusiastic with our innovative features and ideas.


What do you think was the most important occurrence for the industry in 2017? Our transition towards mobile was certainly vital this year, and I don’t just say that because OneTouch is a mobile focused game developer. We provided our mobile version separate to our desktop and table version, which allows for some interesting comparison month-to-month. Even we are surprised to see that 35%-40% of the bets made on our games are done using mobile devices, so it’s


Andy Jarrett CEO, Twelve40


What do you think was the most important occurrence for the industry in 2017? There’s no denying that 2017 has given us plenty to talk about. The growth of virtual reality has been a major topic at industry conferences, as has the explosion in the coverage of


UKGC-licensed BreakoutCasino.com on the Pariplay platform, and our new dedicated poker site, BreakoutPoker.com, a member of the very successful GG Network. The latter site also accepts both BTC and BRK for deposits and withdrawals, in addition to all major currencies. Integrating the Breakout Coin, BRK, was one of our primary goals for 2017.


What are you most excited about for the industry in 2018? The increasing focus on eSports will bring in some interesting changes for both the land-based and online markets. We’re already seeing the allocation of eSports-dedicated space within brick and mortar casinos, and more online operators adding eSports betting


clear evidence our decision paid dividends. What are you most excited about for the industry in 2018? Definitely continued growth and anticipation around Asia, it’s a market area we are keen to grow and expand in, so it’s an exciting time to be involved. Localisation has become more and more


important and it’s something OneTouch are dedicated to getting right – we have to do our due diligence to ensure we’re getting the most of our campaigns to grow the brand. Furthermore, when putting together our development roadmap, we are placing great emphasis on games and styles that appeal to the Asian market.


What are you most excited about for your company in 2018? We’re certainly looking forward to building out first of many slot games. Our focus has been primarily on table games and we have plenty more titles being delivered in the next


cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum based tokens such as Funfair. Social responsibility has also been a big talking point, and continues to be a major focus for operators and suppliers. From our perspective, the


growth of instant win and the application of lottery to other igaming sectors has been hugely significant. Players are increasingly demanding small bursts of lottery content, both on


and PvP-based play to their sites. I also predict that we’ll see the beginnings of a VR-based gambling explosion into the online market, led by developers like Microgaming


who have already made significant progress in this area.


What are you most excited about for your own company in 2018? We have a new lotto-focused site launching now, and then our focus will be improving our products while continuing to expand our reach into new markets. As a fairly new company, this is the year where we have the opportunity focus on business growth, continuing to build a strong brand image and market presence, and increasing the penetration and use of the BRK coin by gaming and other merchants.


six months. Parallel to that, we are developing our first slot with our signature single-touch ergonomics and mobile- first design. We are planning on building table games and slots side-by-side into next year.


Anything else you’d like to say about the passing of 2017 and 2018’s arrival? One of the most rewarding things about 2017, was how well our games worked and looked on all devices. Our QA (assuming qualitative analysis) process is extensive and robust as we extensively test on all leading brands and models: iPhone, Samsung, HTC, Huawei, Google and many more. In 2017, we did not receive a single report that our game does not work properly on a particular device, so for the whole team that’s an extremely pleasing result.

What were the biggest occurrences for Twelve40 in 2017? We established ourselves as one of the industry’s fastest growing providers of white label platform and instant win solutions to the igaming industry, while the reach of our lottery platform has continued to grow.
