Betware delivers Bingo games to Danish lottery

1.11.2006

“The project was initiated in the beginning of 2006, and the lottery has done all the design, layout and specifications,” said Jørgen Falsvig, vice president and CIO, Danske Spil. “Betware has done the software development. The new game is fully integrated in the existing Internet solution, also developed by Betware.”

The suite of Bingo games will run on Betware’s powerful Gaming Platform which also hosts all of Danske Spil’s other Internet games. The Betware Gaming Platform’s flexible nature allows for the easy integration of games in a secure environment. All the Bingo games provided are integrated to the Betware Gaming Platform through a “Live Server” which supports the functionality enabling the games to be played in real-time.

Danske Spil’s suite of games includes two single player Bingo games and two multi-player Bingo games, consisting of a classic game (5x5 square, 75 ball) and a variation game in each type. A classic game allows a player to work with one Bingo square, while a variation game contains up to three squares. “The games are all played live, where the player can choose to play single, or enter a room with multiple players and compete for Bingo while the numbers are being called out to all players”, explained Rúnar Sveinsson, project manager at Betware.

The games also feature a “chat” facility to enable two or more Bingo players in a room to chat to each other about the game. “When we started to research possibilities of developing this  game, we discovered that chat would be an excellent additional feature as it allows for interaction between players thus building community support and performs the extra service of entertaining them as well,” said Falsvig.
