In a move that signals a major shift toward “Social+” gaming in 2026, Booming Games and Live Play Mobile have announced the public launch of LivePlay Slots. This new category redefines social casino gameplay by merging high-performing video slots with live-hosted game show entertainment.

The product has launched exclusively on Modo Casino, where early data shows it is significantly outperforming traditional, non-live slot games.

Redefining the “Solitary” Slot Experience

LivePlay Slots transform the traditionally solo activity of spinning slots into a shared, live event. Players don’t just spin; they participate in an “appointment-style” entertainment product alongside live hosts and a community of other players.

• Live Engagement: Players can react to wins together and engage directly with professional hosts in real time.

• Celebrity Integration: The platform features a guest host program led by the legendary Bruce Buffer (“The Voice of the Octagon”), with more celebrity talent slated to join as the product scales.

• B2B Expansion: This launch marks the debut of Live Play Mobile’s B2B division, applying their six years of live-hosted bingo expertise (75,000+ hours of production) to the broader casino vertical.

Modo Casino Performance Highlights

Modo Casino was the first to integrate the LivePlay layer, reporting record-breaking engagement metrics that demonstrate the power of the “Social+” model:

“We are creating a fundamentally new and enhanced product category,” said Stuart Lewis-Smith, CEO of Live Play Mobile. “By combining proven slot mechanics with live game show production… we’re seeing meaningfully higher engagement and revenue.”

Initial Live-Hosted Titles

The rollout includes live-hosted versions of some of Booming Games’ most successful titles, optimized for the social and gold coin environments:

• Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme 10,000 LIVE

• Tasty Bonanza LIVE

• 64 Presents Hold and Win LIVE

• Vegas Pig 2 LIVE

Frederik Niehusen, CCO at Booming Games, noted that the performance metrics clearly validate the strategy of adding a human entertainment layer to their strongest math models.
