Pragmatic Play has announced that they are putting up €250,000 each month for 10 months in 2021. This is independent of any specific operator, and it comes across multiple events. These events include daily prize drops, weekly casino tournaments and other goodies.
Seven Figures Coming From Pragmatic Play This Year
In the online casino world, we usually see casino operators running special events. However, Pragmatic Play is breaking the mold this year and is doing something different. This comes in the form of a massive seven-figure prize pool.
The total prize pool is worth €2.5 million. This comes via €250,000 in prizes being delivered each month for ten months.
The details on this promotion and how it works aren’t completely laid out yet. However, we can infer quite a bit based on similar events that have happened in the past. Their previous Drops and Win prize event was a pretty big hit. As a result, we can look to it to see what players can expect this time around.
What’s more is that Pragmatic Play makes it really easy on operators to take part in all of this. That means that players will have more opportunities to get in and play.
How The Daily Prize Drops Work
There are two parts to this yearlong event. The first part is the Daily Prize Drops. Every single day from February 11 through November 17, 2021, these drops will happen randomly. All you have to do to qualify is play Pragmatic Play-powered slots with operators that are opting in to this promotional event. You’ll have a random chance to pick up instant wins on every single turn powered from this software provider.
That’s a lot like saying the payout rate for the games will suddenly see a bump all year. This is effectively the case because of the extra cash wins that you can pick up. It’s like having an extra feature in play that gives you instant wins at random intervals. As a result, it’s obvious that your payout rate would effectively be higher.
Weekly Slot Tournaments
The second part to this event is the set of weekly online slot tournaments. From Thursday to Wednesday each week until November 17, 2021, these events will run. Once again, they’re giving players extra value without having to do anything special to get it.
To qualify, all you have to do is play one of their slots during the event period with an operator that’s taking part.
A leaderboard is kept up with automatically without you having to do anything special. You earn spots on the leaderboard based on your top win in the game in question. That win will be divided by your total bet size to keep things fair. That allows players at all different levels of stakes to play on an even playing field. Once Wednesday rolls around, prizes will be rewarded, and the process will start over again for the following week.
Making Things Easy for Operators
One of the keys to pulling off something like this is making it easy on operators. Pragmatic Play knows this, and that’s why they made their back-end super simple for operators to use. This creates a situation where operators are more likely to opt in and offer these events to their players. As a result, it’s a win-win for everyone involved, but it’s the players who get the most from it.
With more money involved this time around to the tune of €2.5 million, it’s clear that other software providers are going to be pressured to step it up and start running their own events like this if they want to keep up with what Pragmatic Play is doing.
Pragmatic Play in 2021
There’s no doubting that Pragmatic Play has made a ton of progress in recent years. Since being under new management and rebranding a few years ago, they’ve risen to the top. This is both with their online slots work and also their entry into the live dealer sector. They are a software development company that is really something to contend with. We can see that more than ever with this year’s €2.5 million prize fund.
