You don’t want to miss this hybrid sporting event in Hungary this year
Change language:
Other countries in the developed world tend to look at Hungary for its art and architecture. However, many might not realize that Hungary also has a rich sports industry. In fact, Hungary is hosting dozens of sports competitions later this year.
Some of these events, such as the 2022 Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest, will dominate global television channels and sports betting websites, as stations like Sky Sports have dedicated a channel to F1, and motorsport betting has skyrocketed in popularity. Other events, however, will be more low-key, including the 2022 Modern Pentathlon World Cup, which will also take place in Budapest.
That said, even if sportsbooks don’t offer odds on the Modern Pentathlon World Cup (they will for the Hungarian Grand Prix and the 2022 Giro d’Italia in Budapest), this hybrid sporting event still interestingly reflects a transition we can see in the iGaming industry. That transition is a new focus on hybrid games, such as casino operators offering Slingo games online. Like the pentathlon, which is comprised of five different sporting events, Slingo is a game that comprises elements of two different games, slots and bingo. These games spruce up the excitement of video slots and bingo, much like the pentathlon does, showing a new and exciting side to fencing, swimming, cross-country running, equestrian show jumping, and pistol shooting.
