Hoory

Hoory wins Innovation of the Year award

The effort that BetConstruct has put in to delivering creative player interaction to the igaming websites of its partner operators hasn’t gone unnoticed after the software developer won Innovation of the Year in Sportsbook and Casino at last night’s SBC Awards.

In the summer of 2019, BetConstruct presented a beta version of its innovative voice-activated gaming assistant called Hoory. 

Functionality-wise, the solution bears much resemblance to built-in intelligent assistants on smartphones, said the company, with capabilities which range from navigating users across the device to performing actions on their behalf. 

Hoory, it added, was created to deliver a hands-free betting and gaming experience. A simple command is enough to take a user to sportsbook, show the forthcoming matches of a chosen team and their latest statistical data. One request and Hoory is ready to show products from across the whole gaming suite including poker, backgammon and live casino. 

A statement read: “BetConstruct will keep on challenging the status quo with its groundbreaking solutions and help the industry to challenge itself.”
