Allwyn Finds Winning Formula with New Digitally-led National Lottery Retailer Training as Users Top 7000
Allwyn has announced that over 7000 of its independent retail partners are now using its new Retail Training Centre – an innovative, digitally-led retailer training platform – with more stores signing up every day. In just one day alone in February, almost 1000 National Lottery retailers signed up to start using the all-new online platform.
Developed by world-leading learning solutions provider, Sponge, Allwyn launched the Retail Training Centre at the beginning of February to support independent store owners and their staff to be responsible National Lottery retailers with “always on” digital training that’s available to them whenever suits them best– making it easier to regularly train staff in store. As well as documents containing key information about how to sell National Lottery games responsibly, the platform features engaging training modules on “Preventing Underage Play” and “Minimising Excessive Play”. It will also be updated centrally by Allwyn with new and improved training over the coming months and years.
As well as being available on mobile or desktop, the Retail Training Centre has been specially developed so that its user profiles don’t require the use of personal data to log in. As a result, training is more accessible to all staff– including casual and temporary employees – as there’s no need to “sign up”. The platform instead works by only having one user profile and login per store, with sub-folders containing all the necessary training that can be assigned to each member of staff. This approach also allows Allwyn to see whether a store has completed the necessary training to ensure they’re compliant with important areas such as “Underage Play”, with Allwyn Retail Sales Executives able to offer additional support during store visits if needed.
Additionally, Allwyn’s digital-first approach to training its retail partners has seen the company embed the use of the platform in its retailer onboarding process, making it mandatory for any new National Lottery retailer to activate their Retail Training Centre account and complete the digital training before their National Lottery equipment is installed. This ensures new retailers understand the obligations of being a responsible retailer before they even begin selling National Lottery products.
The digital nature of the platform also means new training can be issued by Allwyn network-wide, or to individual stores, depending on requirements. This means Allwyn can effectively train its entire retail estate on specific areas in one go – making training quicker, easier, and more convenient, as retailer scan complete the training in their own time. The results of the platform are already compelling: since February, the platform’s key assets which include documents like a “Healthy Play workbook”, “Operational Excellence” and “What is Challenge 25?” have been downloaded over 23,000 times, while the two training modules have been completed over 5600 times and counting.
Mohammed Rajak from Buywell Day Today in Glasgow said: “The new platform has really helped me train my staff by being able to download useful information and print it for them to read. We can either access the Retail Training Centre on my mobile, or use the printouts – which makes it easier. The modules are accessible within a couple of clicks which is useful for referring back to. I feel proud knowing my staff have done the training and we now have a certificate to prove it.”
Alex Green, Allwyn’s Director of Channel Operations, said: “We’re delighted with the initial uptake of our new digital training platform, with thousands of retailers having already signed up to complete the training and increase their knowledge of how to sell The National Lottery responsibly. As well as a newly embedded process in place to get new retailers signed up and using the platform even before they start trading, our digital-first approach will make distributing National Lottery training simpler and more effective. We’ll be able to issue new training immediately, keeping retailers completely up to date with the latest guidance and modules. We’d encourage all independent National Lottery retailers who haven’t already done so to sign up and start benefiting from our fantastic new platform.”
Fran Campbell, Sponge’s Client Director, said: “Allwyn’s primary objective for this training solution was to have a digital-first approach to their retail training. A platform that would be future-proof, convenient and engaging for retailers and, most importantly, one that would be accessible to all store staff without any barriers. We’re pleased we were able to deliver exactly this for Allwyn and their retailers with our learning platform, Spark, and are delighted it’s already producing incredible results.”

Spinmatic has launched Elemental Fusion Deluxe, a new slot built around instant access to its Plinko mechanic from the base game, the supplier said. The title was announced on 9 June 2026 from Malta.
Elemental Fusion Deluxe runs on a 5×3 layout with 25 fixed paylines. Spinmatic lists the game as medium-high volatility with a 96.04% RTP and 39.49% hit frequency.
The game’s feature set includes Gold Wilds, which can appear on any reel and substitute for standard symbols (excluding the Special Plinko Symbol and the Special Element Elixir Symbols). Spinmatic also says base gameplay uses “Instant Elixir Multipliers” linked to Fire, Earth, Water, Air, and Galaxy symbols.
Instead of an accumulator-style collection mechanic, the Plinko Feature Trigger activates when three dedicated trigger symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5, launching a random Plinko bonus. Spinmatic says the Plinko bonus is split into four elemental modes after a selection wheel sets a starting pool of 10 to 100 balls: Water Plinko (low volatility, Mini Jackpot), Air Plinko (medium volatility, Midi Jackpot), Earth Plinko (high volatility, Maxi Jackpot), and Fire Plinko (very high volatility, Grand Jackpot), played on a 16-row pyramid.
The company framed the release around reducing time-to-feature: “In a market where a split-second delay can lose a player, the quality of your content delivery determines your bottom line.”

Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSE) has launched two new iGaming titles: Wolf It Up! Roulette 54
and Wolf It Up! Big Wheel. The games were announced June 9, 2026 and are powered by the company’s Hybrid Dealer® format and its Cash Bank mechanic.
Wolf It Up! Roulette 54 is positioned as a roulette-style product delivered in a Hybrid Dealer presentation with pre-recorded hosts and a CGI studio environment. Inspired said the game’s layout uses numbers 1 to 50 plus four special symbol segments, built to support Cash Bank bonus rounds.
Wolf It Up! Big Wheel is built around an automated 54-segment wheel and uses a roulette-inspired betting interface. Inspired described the game as a faster-paced, gameshow-style alternative within the same Wolf It Up! theme, with Cash Bank features and “character-driven upgrades.”
Chris Campbell, Product Director at Inspired Entertainment, said: “These two titles are designed to complement each other. Roulette 54 version is for players who want an immersive, live-style experience, and Big Wheel is for those after something faster and more streamlined. Underpinning both is our Cash Bank mechanic, making this duo a particularly exciting addition to our Hybrid Dealer portfolio.”

Groove will attend SBC Summit Americas 2026, taking place June 9–11 at the Broward County Convention Centre in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company said its leadership team will be on site, including Co-Founder and CEO Yahale Meltzer and Business Development Director Giusy Campo, to meet operators, regulators, and affiliates.
The appearance follows Groove’s participation at SiGMA Asia in Manila, where the company said it joined a panel on regulatory resilience in the “Jurisdiction Jungle”. In Fort Lauderdale, Groove plans to continue discussions focused on navigating fragmented regulatory environments across North and Latin America.
Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, said: “When we move into a new region, we don’t arrive empty-handed. We come with a platform built on structural resilience: predictive auto-scaling, atomic transactions, and a real-time compliance mesh that adapts to jurisdictional demands, not the other way around. Operators in the Americas face many of the same pressures as their counterparts in Asia: banking scrutiny, shifting regulations, and the need for flawless execution. Our ‘Unseen Architecture’ was built for exactly this moment.” She added: “They need a partner whose platform won’t introduce compliance or operational risk into their business. That’s what we deliver. From Manila to Miami, the questions are the same. And we have the answers.”
Groove said it enters the event after what it described as a “transformative 2025,” including securing a license to operate in Brazil and establishing regulated activity in Argentina, alongside expansion across Europe, Africa, and Asia. The company also said it offers “over 15,000 games from more than 150 providers unified through a single API.”
Meltzer said: “We don’t do ‘one-off’ events. We build continuous relationships across the markets that matter. Asia was about demonstrating structural resilience in the face of fragmentation. The Americas require the same rigour: a platform that can scale from a single operator in Argentina to a national lottery in Brazil without breaking compliance or trust. Our nomination in Manila wasn’t an endpoint. It was a signal. Now we take that signal to Fort Lauderdale, where the real work begins.” He also pointed to Groove’s offices in Israel, Georgia, and Malta, and its 24/7 multilingual support team as part of its operating model.
