The Åland gaming company Paf has been named Sweden’s most responsible gaming company. Paf won the prize in the Sustainability category at the Swedish Gambling Awards. Paf Deputy CEO Daniela Johansson was also the winner in the Leadership category.

From 40 submissions 11 finalists were selected in three award categories at the Swedish Gambling Awards. Paf won the award in the Sustainability category and Paf’s Deputy CEO Daniela Johansson won the award in the Leadership category.

“We are particularly happy to win the Sustainability award. It is proof that Paf is the industry leader in both gaming and social responsibility. Once again this year we have taken major steps to improve our focus on gaming responsibility and our reduced loss limit combined with our openness is something that has made the jury stand up and take notice,” says Paf’s Paf’s Deputy CEO Daniela Johansson.

An independent jury consisting of seven people with long experience and knowledge from sustainability, gaming responsibility, marketing and leadership selected all finalists and winners.

“We received a lot of very interesting entries this year and it was a long jury process. The winners have looked at some serious issues, listened to their customers and the market and found good solutions,” says Thomas Nilsson, chairman of the Swedish Gambling Award as reported in Sper’s press release.

The jury’s motivation for choosing the winner in the sustainability category reads:
“A sustainable gaming industry requires transparency, openness and honesty. Many people say they work to combat gambling addiction, but few dare to show what it actually looks like in real numbers, let alone deny themselves the revenue that others say yes to. Paf is leading the way – and for that they absolutely deserve to win this year’s award in the category.”

On 1 September 2018 Paf became the first international gaming company to introduce a maximum limit to control how much a customer can lose in one year, a yearly loss limit of EUR 30,000 (SEK 300,000). In 2019 Paf chose to openly publish the numbers of its customer playing segments and on 1 January 2020 the loss limit was further reduced to EUR 25,000 (SEK 250,000). Due to this yearly limit, Paf can promise that the company completely stopped big players from playing at Paf’s online games in 2020.

Daniela Johansson also won the award in the Leadership category, for her focus on making the gaming industry more sustainable.

The jury’s motivation for choosing the winner in the leadership category reads:
“Daniela Johansson is a very positive role model and has shown responsible leadership in aiming for more sustainable development in the gaming industry. She has dared to make uncomfortable decisions that promote transparency and openness and she has challenged the entire industry in a positive way. She has, in an exemplary way, stood behind her decisions and advocated a sustainable approach, transparency and openness.”

“I am very happy to win the prize and I feel humbled when I read the jury’s motivation. I would also like to say that many people at Paf have worked to improve our gaming responsibility. So I see the prize as further proof that we are making actions that are based on solid foundations and that are fundamentally good,” says Daniela Johansson.

Paf was named the Swedish gambling industry’s Most Sustainable Gaming Company at the Swedish Gambling Awards, which is arranged by the gaming industry’s national organisation SPER.

SmartSoft, a leading provider of non-traditional casino games operating on the B2B market since 2015. The creator of groundbreaking and unique games, with nearly a decade of experience and 70 games to its credit, SmartSoft has pioneered several unique gaming experiences. Among its groundbreaking creations is the flight-based non-traditional casino game JetX, which has set a benchmark in the industry. SmartSoft has introduced its latest marvel, HelicopterX, which has quickly attracted millions of users worldwide. Launched in November, HelicopterX has already took the 4th position in gaming rankings, thanks to its immersive gaming experience, this game sets a new standard for visual excellence and artistic innovation in the gaming industry.

SmartSoft’s CEO, Guga Gotsadze shares his thoughts with us: “HelicopterX represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to providing innovative and engaging gaming experiences. Our team’s dedication and creative approach have truly set this game apart in the market.” HelicopterX features a helicopter as the main object and a diamond as the trigger, combining dynamic casino gameplay with interactive elements. The game’s exceptional visual design, stunning graphics, and captivating animations engage players from the first glance. Every element, from detailed environments to dynamic visual effects, teleports players in a stunning digital world.

The creation of HelicopterX was a collaborative effort involving multiple departments at SmartSoft, each contributing their expertise to deliver a top-tier product. The process began with an initial concept, where the team decided to make the game distinctive – unlike similar games in the industry that are solely based on mechanics, while working on HelicopterX, they decided that the game would feature modern visuals, be as user-friendly as possible, and incorporate outstanding mechanics. After this they planned the core algorithms and game logic. Following this, the back-end development phase involved meticulous coding to bring these ideas to life. The subsequent front-end development phase integrated sophisticated designs with the game logic, ensuring seamless animations and functionality across various devices.

In the design department, the initial stage involved creating drafts or “skeletons” of the game’s visual elements. The objective was to visually express the game concept in the most engaging way possible. Multiple versions of the environment, diamond, and helicopter were sketched before finalizing a distinct and appealing environment. This stage was crucial for the product’s success, as the game needed to be both visually appealing and intuitive. After finalizing the designs, the animators brought these elements to life, ensuring a seamless and captivating visual experience. Continuous testing and optimization were conducted to ensure technical efficiency and eliminate any bugs, providing users with an error-free gaming experience. “Our rigorous testing process and attention to detail ensure that HelicopterX delivers a flawless and engaging experience for all players,” the CEO added.

One of the standout features of HelicopterX is the Diamond feature, which enhances the overall gameplay experience. This unique element helps players navigate through the basic Multiplayer faster, adding depth and excitement to the game. The design elements, including symbols, backgrounds, and animations, are coherently aligned to support and enhance the game’s theme, contributing to a cohesive and immersive gaming experience. HelicopterX is a testament to SmartSoft’s dedication to innovation and excellence in the gaming industry. From the captivating visuals to the rigorous testing, every aspect of the game is handled in-house, fostering a sense of pride and ownership among the team. “We believe HelicopterX embodies the spirit of innovation and excellence that SmartSoft strives for. We are proud of our achievement and excited to share this experience with players around the world,” said the CEO.
