Entain and Playtech Debuts Live Game Show 'The Chaser'

Global sports betting and gaming group Entain, based on proprietary technology, has announced an exciting start to a new live gaming show with the support of Playtech, a leading platform, content, and service provider in the online gambling industry.

The new game's name, The Chase, is named after a proven model of the iconic ITV game show, which attracts around 4 million British viewers every day.

Described as a "quiz with a difference," the TV game show has decided not to let four contestants "who must demonstrate their wisdom against a chaser who is a ruthless quiz genius" receive their prize money.

The match will be hosted by Playtech's live studio in Riga
The new release, which appears to be the first, will be hosted by Playtech at a non-stop live studio in Riga, Latvia.

Originally, the new live game show was aimed at customers of Britain-based Entain, with entry into regulated markets in Canada, Brazil and Belgium.

Italian and South African players can expect Entain's brand-only game to be officially available in the near future.

The Chase displays the Flinco board and calculates two separate bonus features so that players can participate well until the "Final Chase" begins.

Player Spending Up 56% In First Month
Game performance peaked within a month of launch, up a whopping 56% in terms of player spending.

According to Entain, which was named the UK's top employer by LinkedIn in May, the figure was three times higher than previous premium launch sales through the same type of Flinco mechanism.

This outstanding figure reinforced the operator's belief that the game will successfully set new standards in the industry.

Graciela Anthony, global head of live and table games, explains that their data is already proving to customers around the world that The Chase has been a "hit."

Anthony added that he expects the game to maintain an "impressive growth trajectory" and continue to stand out in the "growing live game show genre."  파워볼게임

Similarly, Steve Watling, senior vice president of ITV Studios Global Partnership, called the game "one of the most anticipated game launches in 2024" and highlighted the trilateral collaboration over the past few months.

Finally, Kevin Kilminster, Playtech's chief product innovation officer, said the project proves a strong partnership with Entain.

Last month, Playtech and MGM Resorts announced they would stream live casino content directly from two MGM-based Las Vegas casinos.
