The report marks LiveScore’s 25th anniversary and analyses insights from nearly 25,000 football fans, revealing the synonymous relationship between evolving fandom and technology

The report showcases how the advancements of technology have underpinned an increase in accessibility to information and looks forward to what the future holds

As part of its 25th anniversary, leading global sports media platform LiveScore has launched Evolution of Fan, a report reflecting on the past 25 years of football fandom within the ever-changing landscape of technological advancements.

Showcasing data from nearly 25,000 football fans, LiveScore’s new report reveals the shifts in the way fans interact with, and consume the sport, in tandem with technological innovation.

Over the past 25 years, LiveScore has evolved into one of the world’s leading real-time sports updates and streaming service providers, with 50 million monthly users. Founded in 1998, the brand is marking its 25th anniversary by publishing Evolution of Fan, which contains industry-leading commentary and forecasts what the future may hold for the industry.

The Evolution of Fan report explores how technology has enabled fans to feel more connected to the teams, players and goals which matter most to them over the last 25 years, the impact of social media and sentiment towards the fragmentation of content with the increased number of broadcasters and streaming service providers.

The report covers a timeframe from the emergence of the internet through to today’s world of real-time data, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality. The ever-changing tapestry of fan culture, the matchday experience and iconic moments are documented alongside technological innovations which have defined the trends which have emerged over the last quarter-century.

The extensive data and insights show that the vast majority of fans (92%) engage with football news and content at least daily, while the same number believe the technology allowing them to keep up to date with football news and results in real-time has had a positive impact on their experience.

This technology, which encompasses real-time updates and access to historical match data and statistics, has enriched the understanding and appreciation of the game for 84% of fans, with the same number feeling more connected to their favourite teams since the emergence of instant score updates.

Sam Sadi, CEO of LiveScore Group said: “Thanks to LiveScore’s loyal users, we have been able to uncover some fascinating insights of how fans have enjoyed their favourite sport over the last quarter-century, and how technology has guided habits, accessibility and passion.

“The Evolution of Fan report is not only a nostalgic and future-facing read for fans in equal measure but also offers insights to advertisers, brands and industry peers on how they can leverage the fan experience to reach and connect with a huge audience of engaged football fans.”

LiveScore is a pioneering force in the fan match experience, shaping and defining how fans engage with the beautiful game, tracing their journey from the simplicity of Teletext updates to the cutting-edge era of instant updates and accessibility. Data and news from leagues around the world are accessible instantly for fans globally, keeping them updated and informed through their devices.

As well as casting an eye over the 25-year journey which has led football fans to the digital age of real-time updates and immersive experiences, the Evolution of Fan report also looks ahead to the next generation of fandom; from a new era of broadcast rights re-bundled into direct-to-consumer platforms, a highly personalised fan experience and virtual reality revolutionising the in-stadium experience, and artificial intelligence dynamically curating football content based on individuals’ data.

Mexico’s leading land-based slot machine provider turns up the heat with its latest slot game launching across its 5enturi0n cabinet

Dreidel, the hottest land-based slot developer based out of Mexico, is lighting up the thrills and letting the big prizes explode in Bomb Crush, the latest game to hit its cutting-edge 5ENTURI0N cabinet.

Bomb Crush has an action-packed base game where Coloured Fire (red, blue and green) symbols appear and accumulate along with their corresponding Bombs. They also bring suspense, as they can trigger the game’s Hold & Spin feature at any moment.

There are three Hold & Spin features in play – Expand, Collect and Multiplier – and if two or all three of the Bonus features are triggered simultaneously, a Combined Bonus can be activated.

But that’s not all. Landing three Bomb Crush Wheel symbols during the base game awards a spin on the Bomb Crush Wheel, which can grant one of the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Prizes, or it might trigger the Hold & Spin feature or the Combined Feature.

If all three Coloured Fire symbols land in the same spin, at least one Bonus feature will be activated.

Let’s take a closer look at some of these features.

 

Bomb Crush Bonus

When entering the Bomb Crush feature, three spins are awarded and reset whenever a Fireball symbol lands in the unlocked area of the game grid. The grid also expands to a 7×5 reel setup, but with the top four rows locked in chains.

If a Dynamite symbol drops in the unlocked area, one chained row gets unlocked in ascending order. Once a Dynamite symbol unlocks a row, it transforms into a Fireball symbol.

 

Hold & Spin Expand 

Again, three spins are awarded, but this time, Red Bomb symbols may appear and fill the entire column with Fireball symbols within the unlocked game areas. If Fireballs are already in place, additional credits get added to those symbols.

 

Hold & Spin Collect

Blue Bomb symbols appear to absorb and collect all the prizes from the Fireball symbols in play in the column in which they land, within the unlocked game area. Once this is done, the Blue Bomb symbol transforms into a Fireball symbol with the total collected amount.

 

Hold & Spin Multiplier 

The Multiplier can be triggered on any spin, marking one or more positions on the grid with a green frame which then Multiplies the prize of any Fireball symbol within it by either 2x, 3x or 4x. If the frame lands on an empty position, it remains there until a Fireball symbol fills it or the feature ends.

The game can be played in different modes – Festival of Light, Nuclear Win and Wild Treasury – with different Wild symbols in play for each.

 

José Shemaria CEO at Dreidel, said: “Bomb Crush is an explosive slot game that builds anticipation with every spin, thanks to the Hold & Spin format it has been built around.

“This is a Bonus-heavy game that delivers a range of player experiences depending on the game mode being played and which Hold & Win features are triggered.

“This will ensure player engagement remains high, while giving a strong reason to return to the machine to see what else Bomb Crush has in store.

“This is a high-impact game that operator will absolutely want to bring to their casino floors.”

Spinomenal creates another classic with Ra’s Solar Empire slot

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has shone again with its new slot, Ra’s Solar Empire. Part of the expansive Egyptian Empire collection, Ra’s Solar Empire is presented within a 5×3 frame which is set on the scorching sands of ancient Egypt. A soundtrack steeped in mysticism ensures players are immersed in the action from the first spin.

Golden scarabs, ankhs, scorpions, cobras and solar orbs make up the medium-paying symbols. A golden-peaked pyramid represents the Free Spins symbol, and three will launch the Free Spins feature. Players will earn 10 Free Spins with three golden-peaked pyramids, 15 Free Spins with four, and 20 Free Spins with five. Horus, the Egyptian falcon-headed god, acts as the Wild and can appear on all reels, but only during Free Spins, and can substitute for every symbol except the scattered Free Spins symbol.

Spinomenal’s Instant Cash feature is active during Free Spins. The feature comes to life every time the reel spins and the solar Instant Cash symbol has four values that are collected by Horus in Free Spins. Instant Cash symbols can be collected in the round before they grow the Free Spins metre.

When four Wild symbols are collected, players pick up 10 additional free spins and on all future spins until the free spins end. It means that the small Instant Cash symbol (pays x2 or x5 of the total bet) converts to a medium Instant Cash symbol which pays out x10 or x15 of the total bet.

Eight Wild symbols secured means players will secure six further free spins on all future spins until the free spins end. The medium Instant Cash symbols then turn into large Instant Cash symbols, which pay out x20 or x25 of the total bet.

After scooping 12 Wild symbols, players earn another four additional free spins and on all future spins until the free spins end. This then carries players to the concluding stage where the huge Instant Cash symbol is activated and pays either x50 or x2000 the total bet.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Ra’s Solar Empire rises to the occasion, from its Free Spins to game-changing Instant Cash rewards. It’s a visual masterpiece and a feature-rich title that’s sure to warm players’ hearts.”
