Virtual sports company to harness football footage


Highlight Games has announced the debut of a new type of virtual sports product, one which harnesses real life football game footage.

Named SOCCERBET, the product takes decades of archived football highlights, combining six ten-second clips from an individual fixture across a number of seasons and then presents the randomly generated minute-long package as one individual game in a similar manner to virtual sports titles.

Capable of slotting seamlessly into an operator’s sports betting or virtuals offering across desktop, mobile and retail, the game offers all the betting markets that sports fans have come to expect from the modern-day betting experience.

Tim Green, CEO of Highlight Games, said: “SOCCERBET is a revolutionary take on virtual sports that combines real stars, with real goals, and real match action. There is nothing else like it on the market.

“Virtual sports has exploded in popularity over recent years, but this product represents the next step in its evolution, combining traditional betting markets with our unique product and patent-protected display of archived action.

“Football is a language spoken by people all over the world, and we are delighted to debut a game that speaks to the universal enjoyment of the game across the globe.” 

Now available in both single game and league formats, Highlight Games are engaged in active discussions with operators around the world with a view to activating the first deployments of the product through 2017 and early 2018.
