Someone just combined doomscrolling with gambling. Not sure how I feel about it.

[Valge]

A Cyprus-based provider Swipe Games built a casino that works exactly like TikTok. You just scroll through short clips, bet on the outcome in 3-5 seconds, the video plays out, then you immediately swipe to the next one. Each round is 8-10 seconds. The library is AI-generated.

One operator reported average stakes running 20 times higher than in crash games, which puts it into a different category of product.

The TikTok scroll is probably the most effective engagement mechanism ever designed, so you can do it nonstop. Every design choice is optimised to keep you moving to the next thing before your brain has realised what just happened with the last one.

Taking that exact mechanic and attaching financial stakes to it is either genuinely innovative product design or a fairly significant responsible gambling problem dressed up as a game format, depending on how charitable you're feeling.

Regulators have spent years arguing about slot spin speeds and mandatory session timers. I'm not sure those frameworks are even designed to handle something built on doomscroll mechanics.

Has anyone actually seen this in a live casino environment yet or tried it themselves?

LOL I still have my Swipe balsa wood glider kit from the last London ICE before it moved to Barcelona for 2025. Girls in red jump suits and a UFC belt if I recall correctly details from their stand.

If this format has such a quick turnaround between rounds, it's as addictive as the most addictive form of gambling viz-a-viz slotting. With no game licence, RTP figures, clarity or auditing. Car crash waiting to happen and Thick Tok should ban it.

Another notch on the "reasons why TikTok is the worst thing to plague humanity in recent history" poll.

Hopefully regulators crack down on this before it becomes the next MegaWays

Thick Tok

Genius.

Sounds a bit similar to the new "live" game from BGaming Triple Nipple (Yes it's called that)

You literally have to bet on the color of the women's "undergarments" and the video plays out and shows the color. It's a concept to say the least.....

i would never play such games but it seems that theres an audience for it

Creative name indeed

It's about 3% house edge, like a roulette spin. Bet after bet every 3 seconds will lose money fast.

Attention span soon to be critically endangered.

I haven't noticed it at any casino I've played at.
