MegaFair Leads iGaming Evolution with Innovative Skill-Based Games, Pioneering Global Matchmaking

LARNACA, 10-Oct-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — The iGaming sector is witnessing a significant transformation thanks to MegaFair, a pioneering company dedicated to skill-based gaming. This shift caters to the evolving preferences of modern gamers, who increasingly seek not only entertainment but also competition and strategic gameplay over mere chance. By departing from the conventional luck-driven gambling model, MegaFair introduces an exhilarating blend of enjoyment and intellectual engagement, offering a distinctive experience for both players and gaming operators. This forward-thinking approach is poised to reshape the industry, fostering growth and enhancing profitability.

As a trailblazer in this space, MegaFair has developed a groundbreaking global matchmaking system that enhances its games. This innovative feature connects a pool of qualified players across different operators within the same gaming rooms, facilitating competitive play even with fewer participants. This integration allows operators to incorporate skill-based games without incurring hefty marketing and advertising expenses. MegaFair’s transparent and fair gaming environment is particularly appealing to players who prioritize equity over luck. However, the company acknowledges the challenge of educating potential users about the unique benefits and appeal of its skill-based gaming format, which differs markedly from traditional gambling experiences.

Among its noteworthy offerings, MegaFair has launched Mega Solitaire and Mega Bingo, which have quickly gained popularity in the B2C mobile app sector, emerging as two of the fastest-growing applications within the casino category. Additionally, MegaFair is actively developing four more games, aiming to release a total of six. Each new title promises to merge engaging, straightforward gameplay with the chance to win cash prizes, with ongoing content updates to keep players captivated.

“With the rising demand for enhanced user loyalty, MegaFair is committed to fostering retention among players,” stated Yan Shif, the company’s founder. “Looking ahead, we plan to create an immersive universe for each game, drawing on strategies from social gaming. We will implement various retention features designed to strengthen our users’ loyalty to both the operators and the games themselves.”

About MegaFair

Founded by Yan Shif in July 2022, MegaFair emerged from Shif’s realization of the potential for skill-based gaming, first discovered in mobile applications back in 2019. His extensive background in the gaming industry revealed a market opportunity for games that seamlessly blend gambling elements with casual gameplay. Recognizing the minimal regulatory barriers associated with skill-based games, MegaFair has strategically positioned itself for success. The company’s foundation emphasizes inclusivity and innovation, supported by a diverse global team of experts. MegaFair’s offerings are crafted to attract a wider audience, providing operators with immersive gameplay experiences and optimized return on investment (ROI).

World Technology Leader Award 2022 with record participation – Top3: ASML, BMW/NVIDIA & Altendorf

NEW YORK, 2023-Jan-18 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — This year’s public voting for the World Technology Leader Award 2022 has ended with a new participation record. In the online voting, which ran until the beginning of December, participants from more than 80 countries cast more than 43,000 votes for their favourites this year.

First place in this year’s voting went to ASML, a technology group specializing in lithography systems for the semiconductor industry. The company, which is based in the Netherlands, was ultimately able to gather 4,695 votes, making it the front-runner in the public’s favour.

Close behind, the jointly nominated companies BMW and Nvidia came in second with 4,573 votes. The two companies cooperate closely in the field of digitization. Nvidia is creating digital twins for BMW that digitally replicate production processes in all the automotive group’s manufacturing facilities.

Third place went to saw manufacturer Altendorf, a classic hidden champion from Germany’s SME sector. The company received 4,496 votes in this year’s public voting, placing it just behind the runner-up. Altendorf received the nomination due to a revolutionary protection mechanism against injuries on its sliding table saws. The “Hand Guard” system used in this process is based on the use of artificial intelligence and uses an image database to continuously analyse what is happening at the saw blade. If the camera detects the shape of a human hand, the saw shuts down in a fraction of a second, thus preventing serious injuries.

The companies ranked after them also enjoyed great popularity among voters this year: Apple landed in fourth place with 4,487 votes, followed by Xpression Camera with 3,771 votes, just ahead of Sky Labs with 3,755 votes. Wind power specialist German Sustainables garnered 3,398 votes and came in seventh, while Jabra scored with a conferencing system solution aimed at meeting hygiene needs in Corona times. Vietnamese technology company FPT secured 9th place with 3,023 votes, followed by Samsonite with 2,930, Cosco with 2,782 and Sixt with 2,699.

Even if not all companies can land on the winners’ podium, every company nominated for the World Technology Leader Award is a winner: with their innovative solutions in the product and service area, they are shaping the future of tomorrow and thus contributing to a more sustainable development of the globalized world. We congratulate all participants, thank them for their active participation and wish the nominees continued success in successfully implementing their innovations!

Stanford Student Entrepreneur Raised $800K on Kickstarter

Palo Alto, CA, April 02, 2015 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — Stanford student Jerming Gu, founder of CANDY HOUSE Inc., raised more than $800,000 dollars after his product launch on Kickstarter. Sesame – the world’s first instant smart lock – reached its funding goal in nine hours when first introduced. Currently, nearly 5,000 supporters have backed the project.

Sesame allows users to lock and unlock their doors using the Sesame app on their smartphones. It is the only smart lock that syncs the movement of the lock with the phone, providing exact control of the angle to which the lock turns.

Gu is a mechanical engineering master candidate from Stanford University. Originally from Taiwan, Gu is someone who usually thinks outside the box. Disruptor, troublemaker, entrepreneur, as he calls himself.

“There has got to be smarter ways to live our life,” Gu said.

Gu said he got the idea for smart lock due to his experience living in Asia where technology is relatively less developed.

With five-patented design, Sesame works with just about any deadbolt in the world. Users can install it in seconds, without replacing existing lock or removing anything. Current model is optimized for US/Canada/northern Europe Markets.

CANDY HOUSE also offers optional access point, which connects Sesame to the Internet when plugged into any nearby outlet. It lets users control Sesame wherever they are.

With Internet connection capability, users can allow guests in remotely. They can also control who has access and when. To ensure safety, the Sesame app also sends out a notification whenever the door opens or closes.

About CANDY HOUSE
Founded and developed by Stanford University students, CANDY HOUSE, Inc. is a candy store that sells dreams, putting the joy and surprise of innovative technology in the hands of consumers, just like candy. It is also a design house, developing and manufacturing products that inspire a minimal lifestyle. It launched its first product – Sesame, the world’s first instant smart lock – in February 2015.
