Live Tech Games secures £1million investment to pioneer new wave of mobile entertainment
Live Tech Games has just announced it has closed a second successful six-digit funding round, with prominent business Angel Investors.
‘Raising investment in one lockdown was a challenge and we never expected to have to do it for a second round. We saw so much promise for the future of Live Tech Games in the beta launch of our first app and we were delighted our investors felt the same. The early success points towards a growing commercial opportunity in the B2B and media sectors and this incredible investment will allow us to reinforce the potential Live Tech Games has to be a leading industry pioneer.’ says Nathan Moore, CEO and Co-Founder of Live Tech Games.
Live Tech Games is a unique platform that combines mobile entertainment and live gaming tournaments, on an exclusive as well as a national scale. It fills the gap in the mobile gaming industry for live, light-hearted games; competitive but inclusive; commitment-free and with the capacity for high reward. Its first app Roshambo Live thrilled UK players with its simple but iconic concept: live, knock-out rounds of Rock Paper Scissors, beating out opponents for the chance to win £1,000. Free to play and taking just five minutes, Roshambo Live has brought excitement and adrenaline to players up and down a country in lockdown.
With an unexpected year of lockdowns, Live Tech Games pivoted its offering to provide private, company-specific games. HR departments have used Roshambo Live to connect with workforces whilst they work from home, and pubs and bars are already signing up to host private Roshambo Live games in their venues as we start to move out of lockdown. The unique capability of the technology to offer both a nationwide game for thousands of players, and private games that are specific to venues and offices, sets Live Tech Games leagues above other studios launching this year.
Currently relanching Roshambo Live following the open beta last year, the initial player stats have been extremely positive showing great user engagement and feedback, with the app reaching #3 in the App Store charts within just a week of its relaunch. The app grew steadily, proving much more popular than anticipated in the open beta stage and organically creating a dedicated and thriving community of Roshambo Live players. Whilst it began as a competitive live gaming experience with high rewards, Roshambo Live has also opened up a space for connection and a socially distanced thrill throughout lockdown. With its standalone technology for live, knock-out tournament-style rounds of simple, family-friendly games, Roshambo Live pairs players up across the country making it possible to connect with family and friends from a safe distance. Challenging other households and comparing scores on weekly boards has proven a great way to connect across lockdowns and introduce games to the ‘non-gamers’.
Live Tech Games was created by Co-CEOs and Founders Nathan Moore and Samuel Worsley after leaving Microsoft to build their own business, less than two years ago. At Microsoft they both gained invaluable experience in software and managing tech development teams, and brought this into their creation of Live Tech Games, a platform focused on delivering B2B and B2C live entertainment experiences for the nation.

Motorola Becomes the Official Smartphone Partner of FIFA Heroes Game
Motorola, a Lenovo company, has become the official smartphone partner of the recently announced FIFA Heroes game, published by Solace. FIFA Heroes is an arcade-style, 5-a-side football title that, for the first time, features real players, mascots and fictional IP characters on the same pitch. This partnership brings together Motorola’s cutting-edge mobile technology and the game’s immersive gaming experience, creating a seamless experience for fans to enjoy the world’s most popular sport in a fun and interactive way.
As the official smartphone partner for the FIFA World Cup 2026, Motorola is committed to bringing the excitement of the tournament directly into consumers’ hands. FIFA Heroes delivers on that promise, offering fans innovative, mobile-first experiences that keep them connected to this unique moment in time.
With this partnership, Motorola’s presence will extend across multiple touchpoints. Motorola will appear directly within the FIFA Heroes game, and many upcoming Motorola smartphones will include instant access to the newest FIFA-licensed mobile game. Fans can also download the game from the Google Play Store, making it simple to play from anywhere.
All Motorola users will gain access to exclusive in-game content designed just for them, including power up tokens and gems, game emotes, a retro razr goal celebration, playable characters, and more. This content is part of a broader collaboration that will unfold through a series of global activations, leading up to and throughout the FIFA World Cup 26, giving fans around the globe new ways to connect with the action, on and off the pitch.
Beyond the content itself, the partnership introduces a gaming experience designed specifically for the brand new razr fold, redefining what a foldable form factor can bring to the gaming space. This exclusive experience optimizes the device’s large 8.1″ unfolded display so that players get an expanded view of the pitch that keeps the action fully in focus. Plus, the extra screen space makes it so that controls can sit comfortably below gameplay for an unobstructed display, and also gives players the flexibility to customise their layout for optimal ergonomics.
“This collaboration goes beyond gaming—it’s about delivering an experience that feels faster, smoother, and more connected for every fan. By working closely with Solace and FIFA, we’ve optimized FIFA Heroes for Motorola devices so players get the best possible performance right out of the box. It’s a powerful way to show how our technology enhances the way people play, connect, and experience entertainment, and we’re excited to share even more in the months ahead,” said François LaFlamme, Chief Marketing Officer at Motorola.

Bet on Games Premieres Ranch Robbery — Rugged, High-Octane Crash Experience
Bet on Games unveils Ranch Robbery, a fresh crash game that infuses the wild spirit of the Wild West into the rapidly expanding instant category. The launch enhances the brand’s crash lineup with an audacious thematic approach and performance-oriented features.

About the Game
Ranch Robbery takes place in a uniquely designed frontier setting where tension escalates in real time. A cowboy dashes across the ranch as the multiplier rises dynamically. The more extended the run lasts, the greater the possible payout; however, if the escape concludes before cashing out, the wager is forfeited.
Every round lasts merely seconds, resulting in a quick decision-making cycle and continuous adrenaline.

Pragmatic Play Redefines Arcade Gaming with Spire+
Pragmatic Play, a top content provider for the iGaming sector, boosts its presence in the arcade niche with the introduction of Spire+, where effectively climbing the prize ladder can lead to winnings surpassing 250,000x.
Against a night sky setting, players choose boxes to ascend the spire and reveal larger rewards. Participants can withdraw their winnings at any time or attempt to complete all nine levels for the highest payout, but if a flaming skull appears, the round concludes instantly with a loss.
Participants have the option to manage the climb by manually selecting boxes or opting for the ‘Random’ choice to let fate decide the next move. An extra strategy is implemented through five difficulty tiers, from Easy to Master, influencing the quantity of boxes and flaming skulls in each level. Choosing a more challenging difficulty enhances the reward possibilities but also heightens the chance of losing the round.
Spire+ enhances Pragmatic Play’s growing arcade collection after the introduction of Mines+ and the inaugural game Plinko+, which has just been upgraded to feature multiple balls, enabling players to release up to 10 balls on a single wager.
Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said: “Arcade games continue to grow in popularity, underpinned by fast-paced, intuitive, and customisable gameplay. Spire+ aligns with this trend, handing control to players with numerous configurable settings, alongside significant win potential.”
