Kings Entertainment Prepares to Enter the Metaverse
Kings Entertainment Group, the parent company of global online gaming innovators LottoKings and WinTrillions, announced its intent to research and develop strategies to prepare for the next frontier of online gaming, the Metaverse.
Known for its position at the forefront of the global online gaming sector, Kings Entertainment has now set its sights on the Metaverse for future expansion. The Company has signed an agreement with a leading global digital asset investment and capital markets advisory firm, offering deep blockchain expertise and a network of highly sought-after and recognized Metaverse experts with a world-leading track record of executing on projects for Fortune 500 companies, governments and digital asset offerings from the venture incubation phase to liquidity.
The Metaverse is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection. Often described as a single, universal virtual world blending virtual and augmented reality, the Metaverse has the potential to transform the world of online gaming, as players seek increasingly sophisticated gaming experiences.
“We’re very focused on our role as innovators within the gaming industry, continually pushing the boundaries to create the next great experience for players. In 1997, when others were taking telephone sports wagers, I was developing an Internet strategy – now, it’s time to prepare for the next evolution of online entertainment, the Metaverse,” Steve Budin, CEO of Kings Entertainment, said.
In preparation for this exciting next phase, Kings Entertainment has secured a soon to be announced URL and is actively exploring purchase options in the virtual Vegas City area of Decentraland. The Company has also created an internal division responsible for Metaverse initiatives, with the goal of leading the global gaming industry into this new universe.

Greentube goes live in Alberta as province opens regulated iGaming
Supplier secures AGLC registration and extends its Canadian footprint beyond Ontario, where it has been live since 2022.
Greentube has gone live in Alberta on the day the province opened as a newly regulated iGaming market, marking the supplier’s first launch in the jurisdiction.
The NOVOMATIC Digital Gaming and Entertainment division said it completed regulatory and technical due diligence and secured registration with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) commission to operate in the province. Alberta becomes only the second Canadian province to regulate iGaming after Ontario, with the new framework replacing the monopoly previously held by Play Alberta.
The Alberta launch builds on Greentube’s existing Canadian footprint. The company has been live in Ontario since 2022 and described the Alberta debut as part of its wider North American expansion strategy.
Greentube said Alberta players will initially have access to a curated set of titles including Piggy Prizes
Wand of Riches 2
, Rumble Riches
Haulin’ Gold
and Firecracker Frenzy
Money Toad
, as well as Silver Lux Big Win Spinner, Starlight Jackpots
Captain’s Catch
and Charming Lady’s Boom
.
David Bolas, Commercial Director at Greentube, said: “Going live in Alberta on the day the market opens is an important step for Greentube and reflects the strong momentum we are seeing in Canada.
“We welcome the opportunity a new jurisdiction offers and look forward to working with locally licensed operators to introduce our established offering to players in Alberta. With a balanced line-up of new releases and proven performers, we are well placed to offer a compelling experience in the province and support our long-term ambitions in the region.”
