Award recognises brand’s forward-thinking approach to app development

Shape Games has received one of the most coveted gaming industry prizes at the SBC Awards when they were handed the trophy for Innovation in Mobile earlier this week, the company announced.

“We’re delighted to have won this award and to be recognised by our respected industry peers for our mainstream consumer entertainment approach to creating great mobile experiences,” said Christian Risom, Shape Games CEO. “Consumers have many demands for their time and focus, and it’s imperative that gambling operators provide them with user experiences that are intuitive, fun and reassure them that the brand knows and understands them. I’d like to say a big thanks to everyone at Shape Games for their hard work that has put us in a great position for growth in 2022.”

Drawing upon Shape’s success producing apps for large consumer and entertainment brands such as Apple, Red Bull and Ikea, the online gaming customer engagement platform is building its brand and reputation by challenging the traditional platform providers in the gambling industry with Shape’s data and machine learning-driven, native customisable apps that focus on user experience as the heart of the design process.

Shape Games was founded in 2018 to focus on building apps for the gambling industry and since then has grown from supplying a single operator in Danske Spil to being a leading front end platform partner to major operators and emerging players in 17 countries across Europe and the Americas.

This year saw the brand sign agreements with seven new operators and add a host of new features to its offering which includes sharing bets with friends, personalisation and recommendations, personal betting statistics, news features, social networks with friends, challenges, unlockable trophies and more.

Shape along with Danske Spil were named Best Native App at the EGR Awards three consecutive years from 2018 to 2020, as well as Best Omnichannel Solution in 2020.

Tomorrow might be April Fool’s Day but this is no joke, the Plaza Hotel & Casino is bringing back Las Vegas’ only all-inclusive hotel room package starting at $125 per person per night.

The Plaza introduced its all-inclusive hotel room package last summer. It was so well received by guests that the iconic downtown Las Vegas property is bringing it back and extending it for all of June, July and August.

“At a time when tourists are concerned about increasing costs in Las Vegas, including resort fees and paying to park, we wanted to give our guests a more affordable summer vacation option by again offering our all-inclusive hotel room package,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino.

The Plaza’ all-inclusive hotel room package waives all resort fees, but guests will still have free access to the fitness center, self-parking, and rooftop pool. It also includes bottomless drinks from the Omaha Bar and Sports Book Bar on the casino floor as well as breakfast and dinner from various dining outlets, and more.

The Plaza’s all-inclusive hotel room package is available for booking beginning today. Rooms must be booked online by Aug. 29 for a stay June 1 through Aug. 30.

Vibra Gaming, the leading game and platform developer in the LatAm market, unveils its latest and most exciting release: Jogo da Zebra, a high-adrenaline experience where every click can multiply your winnings. Designed especially for the Brazilian audience, this game reimagines the classic Minesweeper with visuals and gameplay that resonate with local culture.

The game unfolds on a 5×5 grid with 25 hidden tiles. Players can choose how much to bet and how many zebras will appear on the board, directly influencing the level of risk and potential rewards.

To win, players click on the tiles to reveal golden squares, increasing their bet multiplier. At any moment, they can cash out and secure their winnings before encountering a zebra.

The game also incorporates innovative mechanics to enhance the excitement. By selecting the number of hidden zebras on the board (from 1 to 20), players can adjust the difficulty and raise the prize multiplier as they progress. Additionally, if a zebra is revealed followed by a heart, the game grants an extra life, allowing the player to continue without ending the round. This unique feature adds a new layer of thrill and strategy, as only one extra life can be earned per game.

Jogo da Zebra also includes a Turbo Button, which speeds up tile reveals for a more dynamic gaming experience. A Cash Out button allows players to stop and collect their winnings before risking another click.

Ramiro Atucha, CEO of Vibra Gaming, commented: Jogo da Zebra combines the nostalgia of a classic with captivating gameplay and big rewards. It’s the perfect game for thrill-seekers who enjoy risk, where every click can make a difference in winning big. We developed it with the Brazilian audience in mind, incorporating a local theme that connects with their culture and gaming preferences.”
