Groove will take part in a regulation-focused panel at SiGMA Summit Asia, with CEO Yahale Meltzer attending and Business Development Director Giusy Campo speaking on the session titled “Jurisdiction Jungle: Who Rules Asia’s iGaming Empire?”.

According to the company, the panel will examine whether Asian licensing regimes can hold up under enforcement, cross-border scrutiny, banking pressure and rising compliance requirements. Topics slated for discussion include audit readiness, payment disruption, tax enforcement, evolving AML expectations and geopolitical shifts.

Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, said: “The conversation in Asia has matured significantly. Operators are no longer asking just about content volume or time-to-market. They are asking about structural resilience: how a platform handles a studio API failure without impacting player experience, what the data sovereignty protocols are, and whether the compliance architecture is defensive or reactive|”

Campo added: “In a region where banking pressure and regulatory expectations shift rapidly, the platforms that survive will be the ones that built integrity into their stack from the first line of code, not the ones scrambling to patch it in later.” Meltzer said: “The ‘Jurisdiction Jungle’ is not a metaphor for growth; it is a reality for every operator trying to scale across Asia’s fragmented regulatory landscape.” He added: “The mistake some make is treating compliance as a hurdle to clear. We treat it as a design constraint from day one. If your architecture is not built to generate verifiable, immutable audit trails for every transaction, you are not actually ready for Asia’s top tier. Our presence at SiGMA Summit Asia is about having serious conversations with operators who understand that trade-off.”

Groove said it has published a White Paper on navigating the Asian iGaming market, available on its website, and positioned its SiGMA Summit Asia attendance as part of a broader push in Asia following recent expansion moves into LatAm and Africa.

Tom Horn Gaming will launch Giza’s Portals, a new online slot, on 19 May. The game will roll out across the supplier’s global partner network.

Giza’s Portals runs on a 4×5 grid with 25 paylines and is positioned as a medium-volatility title. Tom Horn Gaming lists an RTP of 95.01% and a maximum win of up to x3,898.

The Golden Pyramid acts as the Wild symbol, substituting for all regular symbols except the Scatter. Wilds can include a random multiplier of x2, x3, x4, or x5, and multipliers combine when multiple Wilds land on the same payline.

A Tomb Pick Up Bonus is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols, unlocking 12, 16, or 20 sarcophagus boxes and awarding 3, 4, or 5 picks. Boxes can reveal instant cash prizes or Free Spins, with up to 15 Free Spins available during the feature. A Bonus Buy option is also included.

“With Giza’s Portals, we wanted to take a theme players know and enjoy, and give it a stronger sense of interaction and momentum. The combination of Multiplier Wilds, Free Spins, and the Pick Up bonus creates a gameplay experience that feels both familiar and engaging from the first spin,” said Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming.
