Harrison Barrett, VP of business development, spoke to the iGB team at iGB L!VE 2026 to discuss the evolution of Soft2Bet’s MEGA platform, which started out as a purely gamification layer but has become “much more compelling than simply leaderboards, missions and point-based rewards”.

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.

That combinatorial structure is the real product idea. It lets a single title behave like several different bonus games depending on which crystals land. An optional setting layers on top: GO Ultra doubles every Free Spins award from seven to fourteen spins.

One notable omission for an experienced audience is the lack of a bonus buy, meaning the combined feature modes must be earned through the crystal collection system rather than purchased. That decision keeps the anticipation tied to the meters filling; it also lengthens the runway to the slot’s most rewarding states.

Triple Beasts of Fortune reflects Play’n GO’s continued reliance on high-frequency releases built on recognizable mechanical templates rather than one-off experiments. The studio has long favored feature-led iterations, and here it reworks the familiar buffalo-style expanding-reels format by making its bonus rounds combinable.

“I think the Raiders are probably overachieving and giving more than what most people expected,” the Boyd Gaming VP said. “There’s a lot of sentimental support in Las Vegas. They’re clearly our biggest liability on the futures-bet market to win the Super Bowl. People bet them at long odds for that. The first game (27-13 over Miami), people didn’t hold that into much account because it was the Dolphins, the worst team in the NFL. But still, they played pretty well.”

“But after yesterday’s game, they’re going to draw a lot more support because they were pretty good underdogs (against the Chargers),” Scucci added.

Bettors had plenty of momentum after favorites dominated Week 1, but Sunday (Sept. 20) tilted back in the sportsbooks’ favor behind a wave of upsets. Several heavily backed teams failed to win or cover the spread.
