AI-Media Enters into Partnership with DAZN
AI-Media, a global leader in end-to-end captioning technology solutions, has entered into a new partnership with DAZN, the global sports entertainment streaming platform. Through this collaboration, AI-Media will deliver live and recorded multi language and translated captioning using various solutions from its AI-powered LEXI Tool Kit.
DAZN Group is one of the world’s fastest-growing sports media platforms, and this partnership marks a significant moment in their commitment to inclusivity and accessibility of their content. Leveraging AI-Media’s LEXI Tool Kit, DAZN will seamlessly integrate live captions across its extensive and diverse premium sports content, enriching the viewer experience for millions worldwide.
Key highlights of this partnership include:
Cutting-Edge Technology: LEXI 3.0, AI-Media’s latest automatic captioning solution, introduces innovative features such as speaker identification and AI-powered caption placement, ensuring accuracy exceeding 98%. LEXI’s advanced vocabulary caters to region-specific nuances, including challenging pronunciations and complex spellings, enhancing the quality of sport content captioning.
Complete End-to-End Solution: DAZN will utilise AI-Media’s Alta IP caption Encoder for LEXI Live captioning delivery. Alta offers a virtualised, API-powered software solution tailored for IP video environments, ensuring seamless integration.
Expanded Language Support: Initial rollout includes Spanish and English captions for EMEA and US markets, with plans for additional languages through LEXI Translate, encompassing French, German, Italian, Arabic, Japanese and more. This supports DAZN’s global expansion strategy across its 120 channels, catering to diverse audiences worldwide.
Support for On-Demand FAST Channels: DAZN has implemented AI-Media’s LEXI Recorded solution for captioning pre-recorded content on their FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming TV) Channels. LEXI Recorded, a newly launched solution in the LEXI Tool Kit, offers fast turnaround, highly accurate and low-cost captions – essential for high volume, time-sensitive captioning applications of recorded content.
Cost-Effective Solution: Transitioning from costly human captioning services to AI-Media’s LEXI platform enables DAZN to deliver multi-language captions across multiple channels at the same cost as human delivery, enhancing accessibility while optimising resources.
Mark Lovatt, General Manager of Global Strategic Accounts at AI-Media, said: “With this new agreement, we’re excited to bring live and recorded multilingual captions to DAZN viewers using our LEXI Tool Kit solutions.

Evoplay spins back time with vibrant new release Jackmaster Fruits
Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, is reinventing a classic with the launch of Jackmaster Fruits, a high-energy title that blends vintage design with modern rewards.
Inspired by traditional fruit machines, Jackmaster Fruits delivers a nostalgic experience, featuring bright fruit symbols, iconic BARs, lucky horseshoes, ringing bells, Jokers and the legendary red 7.
While rooted in tradition, the title introduces a suite of new engaging features to elevate gameplay. Wild symbols substitute for all other icons, helping to complete winning combinations, while Scatter symbols can land anywhere on the reels to trigger further rewarding opportunities.
Landing three or more Scatters in the main game activates the Free Spins bonus, and any additional scatters that land during the feature can subsequently trigger the Extra Free Spins.
For those looking to jump straight into the round, a Bonus Buy option offers the chance to instantly trigger Free Spins, with players in selected markets able to choose between 10, 20 or 30 spins.
With a top Epic prize of up to 100x the bet, Jackmaster Fruits delivers strong retention and exciting win potential in every session.
Using bold visuals and mechanics throughout, Evoplay’s latest standout release delivers a fresh take on a beloved classic, appealing to both traditional slot enthusiasts and modern players.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “When designing Jackmaster Fruits, we wanted to capture the timeless appeal of traditional slot machines while enhancing the experience with modern features and mechanics.
“The result is a game that feels instantly familiar but still just as exciting at every turn, combining simple gameplay with strong win potential. It’s a perfect example of how we continue to evolve classic concepts for today’s players.”

Games Global and PearFiction Studios serve up bold flavours in Noodle Riches™ Loot Collect™
Games Global, together with exclusive studio partner PearFiction Studios, has launched Noodle Riches
Loot Collect
, a character-driven slot combining refined visuals with high-performing mechanics and maximum win potential of 25,000x.
Set in a lively noodle bar, the 5×4, 25-payline slot follows the world of ramen-loving pandas and a playful master-chef cat, with gameplay shaped around evolving features and varied rewards designed to sustain engagement.
At the core is the Loot Collect
feature, where collect symbols landing on reels one and five gather values and modifiers from across the reels, including cash prizes, multipliers, boosters and additional Free Spins, bringing multiple elements together on each spin.
The NoodleTastic Zone adds further depth, activated when specific symbols are collected during Free Spins. Once activated, the zone applies multipliers to cash values that land within, increasing the value of collected rewards.
Additional engagement comes via the Catchinko Bonus, which can award instant cash and jackpot prizes, or combinations of Free Spins modes. Fixed jackpots include Mini, Minor, Major, Grand, and Epic.
Four distinct Free Spins modes expand the experience, activated by collecting pot symbols linked to each respective mode. No Low Free spins removes lower-value symbols, Cascade introduces consecutive win opportunities, Jumbo enhances symbol coverage across reels, and Expand increases the layout to 5×8 with 50 paylines. These modes can appear individually or in combination, delivering further variety to gameplay.
Combining a distinctive theme with a strong mix of proven mechanics, Noodle Riches
Loot Collect
delivers a feature-rich addition to Games Global’s growing portfolio.
Jeremy Coleman, Commercial Director at PearFiction Studios, said: “Noodle Riches
Loot Collect
focuses on combining multiple feature types into one cohesive experience. From collect mechanics to varied Free Spins modes, the goal was to build a game with a clear identity that carries through every part of the experience, from the characters to the pacing.”
David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “PearFiction Studios’ Noodle Riches
Loot Collect
combines a distinctive theme with a rich, well-executed feature set, creating a highly engaging and immersive player experience — and a strong addition to our portfolio.”
