SkillOnNet and Betterlore have teamed up to unveil a unique gaming experience that brings the nostalgic joy of traditional arcades to the modern online gambling industry. Their new creation, The Coin Pusher, allows players to control real, live coin-pushing machines from the comfort of their homes. Beamed directly from Betterlore's European studios, this game is now available in selected markets on the SkillOnNet platform and is expected to be rolled out globally in the near future.
The Coin Pusher aims to recreate the familiar excitement of coin-pusher machines, also known as penny pushers or dozers, which are a common sight in seaside arcades. The game operates just like its physical counterparts: players drop coins into the machine’s playfield, attempting to push other coins over the edge. When successful, the falling coins and chips are instantly credited to the player’s account in real-time, making the experience both thrilling and rewarding.
What sets The Coin Pusher apart from similar games is its vast variety of playfields. With over 100 different configurations available, players are guaranteed access to a game at any time, ensuring that the excitement never has to stop. However, each player can only control one playfield at a time, adding a layer of strategy and focus to the gameplay.
Another standout feature of The Coin Pusher is its minimal latency, which provides players with a seamless gaming experience. Each move, from the dropping of a coin to the moment it pushes others over the edge, is reflected in real-time, thanks to advanced technology that ensures smooth, uninterrupted gameplay.
The Coin Pusher marks the first foray into the online gaming world for Betterlore, a startup focused on merging the excitement of physical arcade machines with the power of online technologies. Betterlore’s goal is to create a completely new category of online gaming that leverages live mechanics and real-time interactions between the player and the gaming machine.
According to Betterlore, the success of The Coin Pusher lies in its ability to deliver a truly immersive experience. By connecting the physical elements of arcade gaming with the convenience of online play, they are building a bridge between traditional gaming and the future of the industry.
Maximilian Schmitt, Sales & Business Development Manager at Betterlore, emphasized the universal appeal of coin-pusher machines, saying: “Coin-pushers are beloved by people across the world, and everyone knows how to play. That’s why we’re delighted to partner with a truly global company like SkillOnNet on our very first game, because we believe The Coin Pusher will be a hit in multiple markets.”
As a global powerhouse in online gaming, SkillOnNet’s partnership with Betterlore is critical in bringing The Coin Pusher to a wide audience. SkillOnNet operates some of the biggest and most recognizable brands in the online gaming space, including PlayOJO in the UK and Ontario, PlayUZU in Spain, Mexico, Peru, and Buenos Aires City, BacanaPlay in Portugal, and DrueckGlueck in Germany. With such an extensive network, SkillOnNet is well-positioned to make The Coin Pusher a hit in multiple markets.
SkillOnNet’s Head of Games, Jani Kontturi, expressed excitement about the collaboration and the innovative approach taken by Betterlore. “This is not just about pushing coins, it’s also about pushing boundaries,” Kontturi said. He highlighted the blend of traditional arcade excitement with the convenience of online play, emphasizing that The Coin Pusher brings something entirely new to the internet. “Betterlore is a truly exciting new company that is bringing completely new ideas to the industry. We can’t wait to see what they come up with next,” Kontturi added.
