XGENIA open-sources XGENIA v2 iGaming platform on GitHub
XGENIA today released XGENIA v2, its iGaming platform, as open source, publishing the code at github.com/XgeniaORG/XGENIA.
The company said the release covers its runtime engine, math modeling system, asset pipeline, game-creation workflows, and developer tooling. XGENIA added that studios, operators, and developers can fork the code, run it on their own infrastructure, and “own every line of the foundation their business runs on.”
XGENIA’s AI layers are not included in the open-source drop. The company said those components remain proprietary and are delivered separately as its commercial offering.
In the announcement, XGENIA positioned the move as a response to common iGaming platform constraints, including licensing and IP lock-in, long vendor-driven development cycles, limited access for AI tooling, and math models that are difficult to inspect. It also cited integration friction and vendor dependency as business risks for studios and operators.

Evoplay launches Ultra Reels Fruteria slot
Evoplay has launched Ultra Reels Fruteria, a new fruit-themed slot set in a market-style environment.
The game uses familiar fruit symbols and wilds, with Bonus icons appearing on reels one and three carrying random values alongside fixed jackpots labelled Grand, Major, Minor and Mini.
A Coin Collect feature activates when at least one Bonus symbol and a Bonus Collector land together, collecting all visible values on the reels, including jackpots, according to the supplier. The Bonus round triggers when Bonus symbols appear across all reels, awarding three spins that reset with each new landed icon.
Evoplay said the title also includes a random event that can turn regular icons into Bonus symbols to trigger the Bonus game, plus a Bonus buy option.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “With Ultra Reels Fruteria, we wanted to capture the charm and familiarity of classic fruit slots while placing players in a more immersive and dynamic setting.
“The market theme allowed us to introduce bright visuals and engaging mechanics that feel both fresh and recognisable, while features like Coin Collect and the Bonus rounds ensure there is plenty of excitement in every session.”

Games Global outlines May slot roadmap with Snowborn, AreaVegas and Just For The Win
Games Global has published its May content roadmap, highlighting new slot releases from Snowborn Games, AreaVegas Games and Just For The Win, and a continued push to reuse established mechanics across its studio network.
The supplier said Area Link
and Power Combo
will feature prominently in May’s launches. AreaVegas Games’ Area Link
Chilli uses six chilli symbols above the reels tied to bonus modifiers that can trigger individually or together, including cash prizes and fixed jackpots, multipliers, instant collectors and value boosters.
Games Global also pointed to Just For The Win’s Bison Ridge Power Combo
, where Link&Win
is combined with Power Combo
to create what it described as a more varied bonus structure.
Snowborn Games’ Volcanic Fortune
is positioned around bonus modifiers such as collectors and multipliers, plus a Treasure Chest meter designed to build towards higher-value bonus outcomes.
David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “Our studios bring the craft, and May’s roadmap puts that on full display. It’s built around extending global franchises into new titles across our network, which is how we deliver breadth without compromising quality. The result is a pipeline that gives operators choice and players variety.”

RubyPlay launches Firerose studio for operator-specific casino games
RubyPlay has launched Firerose, a new studio aimed at building operator-specific casino game experiences, as suppliers and operators push for more branded content to stand out in crowded markets.
The company said Firerose is designed to let operators combine RubyPlay’s existing game catalogue with the studio’s technology and creative resources, using operator-led insight to shape games around an operator’s brand identity rather than standardised supplier content.
RubyPlay said Superbet is among the first operators to launch Firerose-powered titles. The supplier did not disclose game names or specific performance figures, but said early results showed “strong engagement metrics”.
Firerose becomes part of RubyPlay’s multi-studio structure alongside Koala Games, Mad Hat Games, Ruby Studio, and Xslots, which the company said share technology, infrastructure and distribution.
Dima Reiderman , Chief Commercial Officer at RubyPlay, said: ”Firerose represents a deliberate shift in how we think about content creation and partnership. The market is no longer driven solely by volume, but by identity. Operators want experiences that feel native to their brand and help them clearly differentiate in increasingly competitive casino environments.”
Dr. Eyal Loz, CPO at RubyPlay, added: “Firerose was created to put the operator’s voice at the centre of the creative process. Every game starts with their brand, their audience and their story, and our role is to bring that to life through the full weight of RubyPlay’s creative capabilities.
“We’re shaping experiences that players immediately associate with the operator itself. That level of ownership is what allows operators to stand out in increasingly crowded casino environments.”
