VIRTUAL SPORTS SOFTWARE streaming live events can often be an expensive and frustrating experience for punters. In contrast to its 90 minute competitor, virtual football is over within a minute or two, suiting not only customers who bet in play, but also casino players more used to ‘spin and win’ gambling. Kiron’s RaceKings product, powered by multistation gaming terminals, is also bringing the excitement of horseracing to the casino floor and is helping operators attract a new generation of customers. In 2016 they have expanded their content portfolio to make it the most comprehensive available in the market. As well, as an upgraded horse racing product and an upgraded football product from VSoftCo, Kiron have also released a new version of their greyhound racing game. In addition, Kiron’s platform now accommodates 5 additional sports, including single seater motor racing, basketball 3 pointer shoot-out, racing roulette, jumps racing and boxing supplied by VIP. In addition, their recently digitised horse and dog tracks are now in demand across the globe following the success of a number of implementations with existing clients. This new content and style of delivery is particularly relevant in many developing markets, where indigenous sport is not always of a sufficient standard to bet on or where overseas sport is expensive to beam in or stream. Kiron’s certified random number generator Sponsored by also brings with it a built-in integrity that is sometimes lacking in real sport. As a result, customers never voice concerns about corruption. This philosophy has also driven the introduction of its keno numbers product, which was joined recently by their new Spin & Win roulette game. Kiron’s proprietary bet management system, BetMan, was one of the success stories of 2015. An upgraded version is now in place for landbased operators, while a brand new RGS based solution suitable for those concerned with online is available too. Land-based companies, such as betting shops and bricks and mortar casinos, can also benefit from new hardware, including new NUC devices designed to replace bulkier PCs, and Kiron’s new Vision screen solution, which enhances the invenue experience for players. These allow players to watch the action unfold amid settings they are familiar with in order to make the games richer and more immersive. This supports the company’s philosophy of always tailoring content for local audiences, wherever they are in the world. A second version of Kiron’s RaceDay bonusing suite will also be available later this year, this time with newly-designed and improved, betting and display interfaces. Further, with plans in place for new mobile betting applications that can be used for both remote and for in-shop application, it’s an exciting time for both Kiron and the vertical.
