To mark the end of a successful summer and celebrate the upcoming launch of marquee game Max Quest: Wrath of Ra, Betsoft Gaming hosted a glamorous evening event in the historic heart of Malta this month.

On September 12, more than 100 industry figures gathered at the Sheer Bastion just after sunset. While the venue dates back to the 1550s, guests received an even older welcome in the form of Ancient Egyptian statues, gold accents and hosts dressed as royalty, soldiers and servants from the time of the Pharaohs.

The glittering makeover was in honour of Max Quest, the new Betsoft game scheduled to launch later this year. In it, players explore a sunken tomb beneath the sands in search of treasure, collaborating and competing in an interactive shooting experience that hopes to put an entirely new slant on traditional slot gaming. 

To recreate the atmosphere of Ancient Egypt, two statues of Anubis were placed on guard beside the Sheer Bastion entrance. From there visitors walked a golden carpet past a canvas poster of Max Quest’s reanimated villain, where they had the chance to pose with Egyptian props. Inside, overlooking the harbour, guests found a sphinx statue sitting beside a table loaded with cocktails, canapés and screens showing recent highlights from Betsoft’s Slots3 series in action.
