The nationwide progressive jackpot Swiss Jackpot 2.0 of EGT’s Bell Link 1 registered impressive performance and first millionaires in Switzerland

04 Aug 2026

EGT’s absolute bestseller Bell Link 1 continues to reap success after being released in Switzerland as an exclusive Swiss Jackpot 2.0 Edition at the end of June. It is a nationwide progressive jackpot, connecting a total of 108 machines across 15 gaming establishments throughout the country, which are operated by different casino groups, united under the Swiss Jackpot Organization. Among the participating operators are Swiss Casinos Holding AG with its casinos in Zürich, St. Gallen, Winterthur and Pfäffikon, Groupe Barrière Suisse with its casinos in Montreux, Fribourg and Courrendlin, Stadtcasino Baden AG with its establishments in Baden and Locarno, and Groupe Tranchant with its casino in Basel for now, adding later this year its new gaming hall in Prilly as well. Grand Casino Luzern, Grand Casino Bern, Casinò Lugano, Casino Bad Ragaz, and Casino Interlaken complete the list of venues offering their guests the opportunity to win the big jackpot.

 

This has already happened twice in less than 1 month. Just a week after the launch of Swiss Jackpot 2.0 a customer of Swiss Casino Zürich became the first millionairehitting the impressive CHF 1,712,996.47. Тwo weeks later, the second GRAND HIT also became a reality, this time at Grand Casino Basel, where the lucky visitor won CHF 1,042,919.81.

 

The good news is that at any moment every player has the chance to achieve the same success, as long as they put a minimum bet of just CHF 1.00 and a maximum bet of CHF 25.00. If they hit the chime of three red Grand Bells, they will become the next one to take home the big win.

 

In addition, the Swiss Jackpot 2.0 offers a local in-house jackpot starting at CHF 2.500,00, which can be won when just one green Major Bell sounds. Attractive line wins paired with the popular Bell Link Hold & Respin feature complete a thrilling player experience, making the Swiss Jackpot 2.0 of EGT’s Bell Link 1 a favorite among casino clients.

 

Swiss Jackpot 2.0 is created by EGT to meet the specific regulatory requirements of the Swiss gaming market. For the first time in its more than 20-year long history, the Bulgarian company developed an operating system which enables SAS-controlled jackpots to be managed via the operators’ casino management systems rather than exclusively through EGT’s own jackpot controllers, providing the technological foundation for the entire project.

 

“We would like to thank the decision makers at all 15 participating casinos for the trust they placed in EGT by selecting this product, as well as the casino technicians whose dedication made the successful implementation of this project possible,” commented Emilia Tomachinska, Managing Director of E-Systems GmbH, EGT’s distributor in the German speaking regions of Europe. „Special thanks go to the Swiss Casinos Holding AG, which, as the operational headquarter of the Swiss Jackpot Organization, carried the largest load of the planning, organization, communication, coordination, testing & validation efforts, as well as DRGT, whose casino management system provides the jackpot engine, ensures seamless communication between all connected machines within the jackpot network, and reliably feeds our attractive LED jackpot signs with the latest jackpot values.“

 

She added that EGT’s determination to create this unique jackpot math specifically for the Swiss market while delivering everything on schedule is yet another outstanding example of the company’s continuous commitment to always be close to its clients and give them solutions tailored to their needs and the legal framework in the country.

 

“The team of E-Systems wishes all casino guests throughout Switzerland many exciting and memorable moments with the Swiss Jackpot 2.0 Edition of EGT’s Bell Link 1,” concluded Ms. Tomachinska.

08 Aug 2024

AdmiralBet already offers EGT Digital’s casino titles to its Montenegrin customers as well. The new deal became a fact just a few months after the operator added the Bulgarian provider’s games to its Serbian site. Now the visitors to AdmiralBet can dive into the fascinating world of the top performers Bell Link, Clover Chance, High Cash, and Single Progressive Jackpot, containing over 100 slots. The multiplayer game xRide, allowing players to track in real-time the results of the other participants, is also at their disposal to add even more thrill to the gaming experience.

 

“Led by our desire to provide our clients from different markets with high-quality content, we decided to present the Bulgarian provider’s titles to the gaming audience in Montenegro,” commented Stevan Papić, Head of Online Operations at AdmiralBet Montenegro. “The good results came very quickly and we are periodically adding new proposals of EGT Digital to maintain the high level of the products that our customers are always looking to find on our site.”

 

Tsvetomira Drumeva, Head of Sales at EGT Digital, also highlighted the importance of the recent collaboration: “We highly appreciate the trust that AdmiralBet placed in us, and we are very grateful that they are giving us the opportunity to make our debut in Montenegro. I believe that the great performance of our slot titles will not only strengthen our partnership with the operator, but will also play a key role in our further expansion into the local market.”

Tsvetomira Drumeva, Head of Sales at EGT Digital: “Successful presentation of EGT Digital’s extensive gaming portfolio at iGB Live 2024”

01 Aug 2024

“Successful presentation of EGT Digital’s extensive gaming portfolio at iGB Live 2024” is the evaluation that Ms. Tsvetomira Drumeva, Head of Sales at EGT Digital, gave to the company’s performance on one of the biggest iGaming exhibitions in the world.

 

In an exclusive interview for Soloazar she talks about the novelties presented during the show, reveals her thoughts on the future of the online gaming industry and shares her expectations regarding the relocation of iGB Live in 2025.

 

(Amsterdam, SoloAzar Exclusive).- Ms. Tsvetomira Drumeva, Head of Sales at EGT Digital, explained the main features of the products presented at the latest IGB Live. She also commented the latest trends on online gaming industry and is expectant and hopeful regarding the change of location of the 2025 edition to London.

 

 

“I am glad to say that our participation in this year’s edition of iGB Live continued the streak of our successes on this exhibition during the past few years”, said Tsvetomira Drumeva.

 

“The guests to our stand had the opportunity to explore EGT Digital’s extensive gaming portfolio, currently consisting of over 100 in-house developed casino titles that are gaining popularity in more and more markets around the world. Alongside the well-known slots, our selection for the show featured the football-themed game Burning Goals, the latest addition to our jackpot bestseller Clover Chance. It was very well received by the visitors, who highly appreciated its attractive features and the numerous opportunities to win big prizes.”

 

How do you see the future of the online gaming industry after the trends presented at iGB Live Amsterdam 2024?

 

Quite expectedly, the trend towards the application of artificial intelligence in the new gaming solutions continues to develop very intensively. As I mentioned above, we also use AI in our developments, including AI-driven analytics. Through them we collect data on players’ preferences, which allows us to provide betting sites with the opportunity to create personalized offerings for their customers. These analyzes in combination with the advanced game mechanics and the powerful security measures that we offer contribute to the significant improvement of the gaming experience and turn us into a preferred partner for more and more operators.

 

The trend towards the use of virtual and augmented reality also persists. Along with artificial intelligence, VR and AR make games more engaging and more customized, fully adapted to the individual tastes and requirements of the players. With all this in mind, my prediction is that in the future casino titles will become more realistic and offer an ever more exciting mix of luck and skill.

 

iGB L!VE is moving to London in 2025, what are your expectations for this move?

 

On the one hand, Amsterdam is popular as a place, gathering the experts in the iGaming sector from all over the world and allowing them to show their new products and exchange experiences. On the other, relocation is beneficial because it opens up new perspectives and opportunities for exhibitors and guests of the event. It is no coincidence that next year iGB Live will be held in London, where the iconic ICE London – the largest gaming show and hub for professionals in the gaming industry on a global scale – has taken place for so many years.

 

I expect this relocation to bring many positives for the participants and believe that the 2025 edition will be no less successful than the previous ones.

 

With regard to the innovations presented by the firm at iGB L!VE 2024, she described:

EGT Digital’s iGaming platform X-Nave was also on display to demonstrate the upgrades and improvements of its 4 main modules: CRM Engine, Sport product, Gaming Aggregator and Payment Gateway, each of which can be part of the turnkey solution or operate independently, as they allow to be integrated with developments of third-party providers.

 

The CRM Engine showed new competition opportunities between players, including various games and tournaments, as well as options for more detailed player segmentation. We also presented a new AI/ML module for individually selected casino games based on player’s behavior and an AI/ML chatbot.

 

The Sport product introduced its Customizable tournament page, that enhances user engagement and simplifies navigation. The module is now also equipped with an automatic cashout option, allowing players to set an amount, after reaching of which their bet is being closed automatically. The newly added Share my bet functionality enables players to share their bets on various social networks.

 

X-Nave’s Gaming Aggregator revealed its expanded range of over 12,000 titles from more than 110 popular providers.

 

Our Payment Gateway demonstrated its enriched portfolio of payment methods, which already includes Open Banking, as well as many methods for the Latin America, especially for Mexico and Brazil. The Quick Deposit feature – a small Cashier that can be opened directly from the casino games, which doesn’t require from the players to leave the game, is also among the novelties in this module that we presented to our guests during the show.

“EGT and EGT Digital: What has been 2024 so far and what’s yet to come”: Interview of Mr. Vladimir Dokov, CEO of EGT and EGT Digital, for Casino International

22 July 2024

Mr. Vladimir Dokov, CEO of EGT and EGT Digital, gave a special interview for the July issue of Casino International magazine. He talks about the excellent results of the two companies for the first half of the year, reveals what distinguishes EGT Digital from its competitors, which are the key products of the company and the new markets where the iGaming provider plans to enter in the next 12 months.

 

Matt Broughton: How 2024 has treated EGT so far?

Vladimir Dokov: I am glad to say that the first half of 2024 brought us very good results across the board. We got the year off to a strong start by attending ICE London where we showcased our new developments for land-based and online gaming. They received very positive feedback from the guests, and we closed a lot of deals. Along with traditionally important for us exhibitions in Europe and Latin America such as Irish Gaming Show, FIJMA, Belgrade Future Gaming and GAT Gaming Show, we made our debut at SIGMA Africa, SIGMA Eurasia and SIGMA Americas. We also participated in SIGMA Asia for the second year in a row. We had very good performances at these shows as well and laying the foundations for many future partnerships in those regions that are of interest to us. Our high-potential new products such as the Bell Link 2 multigame – the latest addition to our bestseller Bell Link – and the Gods & Kings Link jackpot have had their first installations and it looks like more will follow soon.

Our online gaming solutions have witnessed significant advancement as well. At the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, EGT Digital’s slot games entered a number of new markets like Greece, Italy and Spain. We also launched our strategic partnership with bet365. As a result of it we developed a game aggregator, through which some of the largest and most popular game providers in the Bulgarian market became available to the operator. In parallel with all this, we continue to develop and upgrade our factories and production processes, applying all norms for ecological and safe manufacturing. Last month we put into operation a new automated assembly line for the production of General Series Curved Cabinets. Now we produce the machines from all EGT series on a flow basis, which enables us to fulfill our customers’ orders even faster and more efficiently.

 

MB: What were your primary goals when the year began?
VD: Our primary goals at the beginning of 2024 were to continue our upward development by enriching our portfolio of land-based and iGaming products and solidify our leadership positions in the global gaming industry. I dare say that so far we are fulfilling both purposes.

 

MB: Focusing now on EGT Digital, what have been the key products so far in 2024?
VD: The main product of EGT Digital is the in-house developed iGaming platform X-Nave, which provides operators with everything they need to build and maintain a successful business online. It contains four main modules: CRM Engine, Sport Product, Casino Aggregator and Payment Gateway, each of which can be both part of the turnkey solution or operate independently, as they allow to be integrated with developments of third-party providers. The other key products of our company are the online slot games, which are gaining momentum in more and more markets around the world. EGT Digital’s casino portfolio currently includes over 100 titles, offering a wide diversity of captivating themes and features.

 

MB: What new markets are you hoping to enter in the next 12 months?
VD: We plan to enter new jurisdictions primarily in Europe and Latin America. Among the markets of greatest interest to us is Brazil. As I mentioned earlier, EGT Digital participated for the first year at SIGMA Americas, where our products were very well
received. We already have a team at the local level, and I believe that their efforts will soon yield the expected results.

 

MB: What is it that sets EGT Digital apart from its competitors?

VD: What distinguishes EGT Digital the most is the ability to listen to our customers and partners and quickly adapt to the dynamic and ever- changing iGaming industry, which every day presents us with new challenges. This in combination with our original approach and creative concepts results in the creation of innovative products that are able to satisfy the needs and preferences of every type of customer.

 

MB: What will you be presenting at iGB Live?
VD: At iGB Live we will present our new casino titles, which will reveal their rich variety of attractive features and bonuses. We will also demonstrate all the latest upgrades and additions to our X-Nave platform.
