For all the hoopla surrounding prediction markets and expectations that the industry will eat away at sportsbooks’ NFL handle this season, the old guard industry is expected to control nearly 80% of pro football wagers this year.

Eilers & Krejcik Gaming (EKG) estimates that bettors will plunk down $40.5 billion on the NFL this season through regulated channels. Traditional sportsbooks are projected to capture $31.7 billion of that total, compared to a handle analog of $8.4 billion for prediction markets—a 79% to 21% split in favor of legacy operators.

Handle analog is a metric used as a cleaner comparison between sportsbooks and prediction markets because the latter’s volume doesn’t compare evenly with sportsbook handle.

It is with that ambition that Yggdrasil has developed two new solutions that Curwen believes can change both how games are created and who is able to create them. Game in a Box is designed to make the development process faster, more efficient and more flexible, while Studio in a Box goes a step further, giving businesses the tools to build their own portfolio of original games without the need to establish a traditional studio of their own.

Game in a Box addresses the development process itself. Traditionally, a game idea passes through multiple stages – from maths and development to QA and certification – potentially involving different teams and repeated rounds of work.

Game in a Box brings those stages into a connected workflow, giving creators greater control over a game as it evolves. The platform is already being used internally by Yggdrasil and is being piloted with selected partners ahead of its wider market release.
