Golden Race announces the launch of new Virtual World Cup

Golden Race’s fully customisable World Cup is capable of condensing the 60 game tournament into a period of 30 minutes, or up to one hour.

Our CEO Martin Wachter stated:

“The World Cup is of global interest, but the time differences sometimes make it impossible for players to back their teams. Our new virtual game can provide a tournament every hour meaning that no matter where you are in the world, you can play your team in your time zone.”

Group stages play out across six matchdays. One match can be simulated onscreen while concurrent matches are represented in the live score format, with knock-outs having the option of penalties in case of a draw.

New amazing features for the Virtual World Cup

The virtual sport main features are: 32 national teams, amazing upgraded visuals, realistic odds based on the current FIFA ranking, key stats and summary displayed before matches, group and knock-out phases, 21 betting markets and Quick Combo Bets.

Golden Race Game Architect Laurent Samani explained:

“By using the FIFA rankings and actually observing the different skills of the teams, we have developed the game to feel real both one the pitch and in the betting interface.”

The new game is available to any retail outlet with our Golden Boxes and will be offered to African operators free of charge via a dedicated satellite channel.

“This will be Game of the Year 2018. Everyone will be playing it during the World Cup and once that has finished they will still be playing long afterwards. That is why it is especially useful for operators as it gives their football customers something to bet on until the new season.”
