About World Travel

Many top gaming stocks have underperformed relative to the broader market in recent years, and most of the M&A activity has been facilitated by private equity and other institutions that can more readily capitalise on depressed valuations. There had been hope that rates would start to fall and help alleviate those pressures.

“Publicly traded valuations are a reflection of the current interest rate environment,” Chad Beynon, lead gaming analyst for Macquarie, told iGB. “Whether it’s a long-term financial model on a growth company, you’re going to discount that back at a higher rate, or if it’s just a standard four-wall business, the cash flows in a higher interest rate environment are worth less.”

According to data from Yahoo Finance, the resort and casino sector is -41% over the last five years, and the overall gambling sector, which includes major sportsbooks and online operators, is +7%; the benchmark S&P 500 index, by comparison, is +71% during that span.

What is World Travel?

Play’n GO frames each feature as having a defined role within that system. “Each feature in Triple Beasts of Fortune has a clear identity,” said Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO. “Upgrade changes the Bison, Expand opens the grid and Multiplier brings x2 and x3 Multiplier Wilds into play. Super Charged pairs them; Mega Stampede lets all three strike together.”

That comment underlines the studio’s intent. Distinct, legible mechanics that combine into escalating outcomes, a design philosophy Play’n GO has increasingly leaned on to differentiate titles within saturated themes.

For operators, the value is a slot that carries a well-trodden theme but a more flexible bonus proposition than most buffalo-style games, giving players several routes into the feature set. Triple Beasts of Fortune is out now.

How to play World Travel

As Barrett puts it, MEGA is “ultimately a retention tool that helps our partners move away from heavy bonus and costs”.

With ice hockey and UFC-themed initiatives driving engagement in North America and a 45% lifetime value increase seen with the launch of MEGA Shoot, a player-versus-player simulation penalty shootout game initiative which launched during the World Cup, it is an exciting time for the Malta-based platform provider.

Barrett also describes how MEGA can “make a player feel connected within the software ecosystem and the brands” Soft2Bet operate with.
