Live dealer casino launches new Skill Score feature

News on 10 May 2018

Live dealer casino Codeta has announced the launch of a new feature titled Skill Score that ranks players based on their table game performance, and places them on a leaderboard so they can see how they compare with their rivals.

A player’s Skill Score is determined by the two factors that have the most impact on their performance – the ability to win big and to keep winning over time.

For the purpose of Skill Score, Codeta has named these factors dedicated wins and big wins. Dedicated wins are calculated as a ratio between wins and losses, while big wins summarize earned payout-ratios.

A multiplier on each factor ensures top performances are really valued. What’s more, the simplicity of the factors makes it possible to compare skills between players regardless of the size of the bets placed.

A player’s Skill Score can be increased by improving either factor, or by working on the balance between the two.

Codeta offers tips, guides and the opportunity to benchmark a player’s Skill Score and the individual factors against other players. The goal is to provide tools to enable players to improve their game regardless of whether they want to compete against themselves or others.

The operator plans to run tournaments and promotions around Skill Score with the highest-ranked players winning prizes.

Edward Ihre, co-founder and chairman of Codeta, said: “Skill development is a big part of why players engage with live table games, and Skill Score enables them to keep track of their progress while also competing with other players.

“Skill Score allows us to better engage our players and communicate with them on a regular basis. If we see they are performing well at blackjack but not so well at roulette, we can send them tutorials to help improve their roulette skills, for example. It offers added value to our players.”
