Industry-first EXCO introduces in-game streaming with 500 Casino

EXCO Game Studio has exclusively released AMP with 500 Casino. AMP is the first product from EXCOVERSE, EXCO’s product ecosystem and activation layer. This industry-first live participation format turns an eligible slot bonus into a shared moment around the game. Any player in EXCO games can now go live from the in-game AMP layer and become a Streaming Player in the EXCOVERSE Streaming Lobby, where other players can follow the action and watch them play live, see them on video within the game, and interact via Live Stream chat. When a Streaming player triggers a bonus, other players are given 20 seconds to place a permitted prediction position on its final multiplier before the bonus begins. Once bets are closed, everyone can see the bonus unfold live and all positions settle against the final result. One player creates the moment. The audience takes a position. Everyone watches it land. This is not built only for professional streamers. Subject to the applicable terms, AMP is designed to let every casino player become a Streaming Player. The exclusive 500 Casino release features almost all EXCO games: Ministry of Like, Apex Dregs, Robbin’ Goblins and VEGASCALINE. The collaboration was shaped through a working session, bringing together 500 Casino and EXCO’s commercial and technical teams ahead of the pre-release. The session focused on the opportunity behind AMP, the player experience and the practical requirements of introducing a controlled live-participation format with one partner first. 500 Casino was a natural choice for AMP’s first partner release: its direct integration with EXCO supports the rollout, while its Content Creators Program and focus on creator content fit AMP’s live, social format. AMP continues a pattern established by EXCO founder Fredrik Elmqvist. As founder of Yggdrasil Gaming, Elmqvist helped pioneer a generation of in-game promotional formats, tournaments, raffles and Missions – that later became familiar across the industry. AMP takes the same first-mover mindset into live participation: turning the slot into a stream and the bonus into a prediction event. That thinking also runs through EXCO’s games. The mechanics build visibly. The animations make every change clear. The sound follows the tension. Every element is designed not only for the player behind the spin, but for the audience watching it unfold. Aleksandrina Dimitrova, CCO at EXCO Game Studio, said: A slot bonus can be one of the most exciting moments in a casino session, but traditionally it belongs to one player and disappears in seconds. AMP gives that moment an audience. Together with 500 Casino, we have worked closely to explore how it can become a live, social and measurable experience for players. I’m excited to lead the commercial work behind a new way for players to experience casino. Head of 500 Casino Henrik Bergstorm said: We are always looking into new ways to make gameplay more social without losing the tension that makes a bonus compelling. AMP gives our audience a new live format to interact, and it matches our brand, concentrated around advanced gaming. It’s a revolutionary product, and we’re very excited! Live Streamer Leaderboard To promote the release, 500 Casino plans to run a one-week Streamer tournament. The tournament uses AMP’s industry-first in-game leaderboard, which ranks Streaming Players by the cumulative winnings of viewers who place prediction positions on their streams. The tournament will be available only to eligible 500 Casino players who participate through AMP, subject to the full tournament rules, applicable territory restrictions, age requirements, responsible-gaming provisions and the relevant Terms and Conditions.
