How Pilot Tournaments Turn Ordinary Gaming Halls Into High-Energy Profit Machines
Walk into any hall running Pilot’s Clash of Multipliers and you feel it right away — the room is alive. The leaderboard is moving, players are focused, and everyone is waiting for the next big moment.
This is no longer quiet, background gaming. It becomes a show. And in a market where attention is everything, Pilot Tournaments give operators one of the strongest player magnets available today.
Why This Matters
Today’s retail gaming market rewards movement — fast, visible, competitive movement. The operators who grow are not the ones with the most posters. They are the ones who create moments that pull players in, keep them inside, and make them return.
Pilot’s tournament bursts do exactly that. They turn normal gameplay into something exciting — something players want to be part of. And the results are real, proven across multiple halls in Kenya.
A New Era for Retail Gaming in Africa
Competition across Africa is increasing, and players now want more than static machines. They want:
- real action,
- real transparency,
- real excitement.
Pilot Tournaments, powered by Clickobet, were created for exactly this shift.
Several times a week, at times set by Clickobet’s analysts, the tournament widget appears directly inside the Pilot game. From that moment, every qualifying multiplier adds to the player’s score, which updates instantly on the live leaderboard on the left side of the screen.
There is:
- no sign-up
- no extra steps
- no confusion
The tournament simply turns on — and players are automatically in. Just pure, simple competition that instantly lifts the mood in the hall.
The Numbers Behind the Noise
Throughout October, 12 tournament series have been completed across partner halls, with a total of 636,000 KES (≈ 4,930 USD) distributed as prize money.
But the real message is found in the behavioural and financial impact:
+30% Surge in Player Activity
Data shows that tournament days generate a 30% spike in overall activity. Players bet more frequently, stay longer, and maintain elevated engagement throughout the entire competitive period.
5–10% Increase in Hold
Operators consistently report a 5–10% rise in hold — one of the clearest indicators of improved hall performance. The competitive energy converts directly into higher revenue.
Uplift in Foot Traffic and Repeat Visits
Scheduled tournaments create rhythm.
Players start planning around the event.
Halls that once saw quiet mid-week periods now fill with customers awaiting the leaderboard countdown.

Partner Results: What Operators Are Seeing on the Ground
Across different parts of Kenya, operators report the same pattern: more traffic, longer sessions, and noticeably stronger revenue during tournament days. Here’s what the early adopters are saying:
“The tournaments gave us an immediate lift. We saw more players staying longer, and our hold grew during every tournament window. It’s the first promotion we didn’t have to babysit — and it actually performed,” said Victor Maina, Chief Operations Officer at Mopa Investment Limited-INBET KENYA)
