Gaming Innovation Group signs new deal with Starcasino in Spain
Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG) continues to strengthen its presence in the Spanish iGaming market following the signing of an agreement with Starcasino Group for its leading platform and sportsbook.
This new alliance, the 14th now in operation for GiG technology in Spain, will allow Starcasino to enter the large and highly competitive Spanish market. Having secured both sports and casino licenses in the jurisdiction, Starcasino will take advantage of GiG’s unique experience and presence in the country. Indeed, the online Spanish market generates more than €800 million of GGR on a yearly basis, with casino and sports representing 90% of that figure.
Starcasino is one of the largest regulated online and landbased casino groups in Belgium, and carries with it a strong reputation at driving personalised experiences for casino players.
The agreement which has been signed for an initial period of 3 years will look to harness the capabilities of both GiG’s sportsbook and player account manager (PAM), which are focused on delivering excellent localised and personal casino journeys and strong sports margins in competitive and regulated markets.
Hervé Schlosser, Managing Director of Sportnco Gaming at GiG, said “I am really pleased to have signed this partnership with Starcasino, to power their entry into the appealing Spanish market. I am convinced that our combined sportsbook, platform technology and regulatory experience is well suited to help established operators like Starcasino power into new regulated markets.”
Alejandro Casanova, Country Manager for Starcasino Spain said: “We feel very pleased to have reached an agreement with the GIG Group. After many years of work and success in Belgium we have initiated our expansion to other markets, in Spain we have selected GIG Group’s technologies to successfully face the challenges of this market.”

Harrah’s Resort Southern California and the Rincon Tribe Debut New Casino Restaurant: Tierra y Mar
Harrah’s Resort Southern California announced the grand opening of Tierra y Mar, an elevated new Baja-inspired concept. Located in the former Salt & Fin space, the new restaurant brings an upscale Baja-inspired dining experience to North San Diego County and elevates the culinary landscape for both local foodies and Southern California casino visitors.
Brought to life by the award-winning national design firm, JCJ Architecture, the 7245-square-foot, 153-seat restaurant delivers a transportive dining escape directly off the gaming floor. Blending the casual glamour of the Baja coast with the modernist elegance of mid-century Mexican architecture, the completely reimagined space fuses Cycladic and Moorish design influences to evoke the charm of an old-world Mexican hacienda and chic coastal resort.
“Memorable dining is a cornerstone of the guest experience here in Funner. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or stopping by for a craft cocktail at the bar, this beautiful new space hits the sweet spot—it’s upscale and sophisticated, yet vibrant and incredibly fun,” said Jill Barrett, Senior Vice President and General Manager.
Key Highlights & Architectural Design Features
This $10.7 million transformation brings the resort’s Mexican-inspired dining offerings together into one premier destination and includes:
• A Transportive Ambiance & Design: As guests move past a striking entry portal framed by warm wood columns and layered archways, they leave the casino behind and enter an environment defined by handcrafted wood ceiling beams, tropical plantings, and natural stone. A unique mosaic fractured tile pathway grounds the restaurant, guiding guests from the lively bar into the intimate main dining room.
• Elevated Culinary Selection: The menu showcases Chef Bryan Texis’ interpretation of Mexican cuisine, featuring authentic, vibrant flavors inspired by Baja California and Mexico’s diverse regions. The menu pairs traditional dishes—such as Beef Birria, Camarones al Diablo, and Classic Pescado al Talla—with new takes on traditional ingredients.
• Vibrant Tequila Bar & Artisanal Private Dining: The space features a lively tequila and mezcal bar featuring over 35 premium tequilas and mezcals beneath a dramatic chandelier. Beyond a unique breeze block wall, the restaurant offers intimate booths, alcoves, and an elegant private dining room accented by custom rope and bead-and-ball privacy screens designed to host up to 14 guests.
• 7-Day Seamless Operations: Tierra y Mar will operate seven days a week, serving lunch and dinner Monday through Friday, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturdays and Sundays. The opening also marks the closure of the former Salt & Fin and ’ritas Cantina venues.
“We are always looking for ways to bring fresh, exciting spaces to life on the property, and this $10.7 million transformation fits into that vision perfectly. Coming right on the heels of our High Limit area renovation, Tierra y Mar brings even more new energy to the property,” said Rincon Chairman Steve Stallings.
