Portuguese start-up FootAR is enhancing the Euro 2024 experience with AR tracking and smart data
With the summer of football heating up, FootAR is showing how live sports can be enhanced with augmented reality. It has created a real-time companion that gamifies the sports experience and emulates player movements with 3D foosball-like figures, adding smart stats and prizes for fans.
FootAR has already made its mark in Portugal, where two notable media organisations have integrated it into their coverage. GMG (Jornal de Notícias) and SportsMultimedia (VSports) use FootAR to bring a 3D experience to Euro 2024 fans.
FootAR is one of 22 companies in the Portuguese games development and creative industries cluster eGamesLab. This ambitious R&D project led out of Madeira aims to attract and develop new talent and technology focused on the growing national video game industry.
FootAR’s platform went live earlier this year. The initial rollout covered Portuguese league games, partnering with some of the biggest Portuguese clubs like SC Braga and CD Nacional before expanding to cover all the matches at Euro 2024. It offers real-time statistics, in-depth analysis, and seamless integration for news outlets covering live games on their websites.
Fans can relive every goal, track every pass, and stay connected to the game with real-time updates and AR-enhanced visuals. The technology allows fans to rewatch the most significant moments in a live game and view them from multiple angles, together with an accompanying audio commentary.
“We understand the insatiable appetite for football data and the desire to go beyond the final score,” says David Olim, Co-Founder of FootAR. “FootAR empowers fans to delve deeper into the action, following their favourite players, teams, and leagues, and is the perfect way for enthusiasts to analyse the beautiful game – but that’s just the start. As a father of two young children, my goal is to shape how younger generations immerse themselves in these communal experiences. Looking to the future, our interests go way beyond sports. We are starting with football, but within five years, we will have personalised experiences for clubs, artists, and brands to build their own interactive events.
Key Features:
Augmented Reality – relive the match’s key moments from multiple angles through 3D AR visuals, and get closer to the action with real-time data overlays to follow the game how you want to.
Custom Data Suite – access in-depth statistics for players and teams such as expected goals, pass accuracy and tackles lost. In-game notifications can be customised, ensuring key moments in the game are never missed..
Audio Commentary – FoorAR can sync with local radio broadcasts, creating a combination of live commentary and live data which really brings events to life.
With FootAR, new avenues for monetizing audience engagement and sponsors are available to media companies and clubs looking for a solution to drive greater fan engagement, as well as opening up new revenue streams through in-game activations.
Fans can transform their football experience today by downloading FootAR for free on Android and iOS and using the Web/Desktop app. Apple VisionPro and Meta Quest versions of the experience are also being developed and will be released in Q3 2024.

DJ Tiger x1000 Ignites the 3 Oaks Gaming Experience
The distributor’s newest slot features club-inspired cascades and multipliers reaching as high as x1000.
3 Oaks Gaming, a well-known distributor of iGaming content, has launched DJ Tiger x1000, a colorful scatter pays slot with cascading mechanics and multipliers reaching up to x1000.
Underneath club lights and rotating disco balls, this engaging 6×5 slot animates each spin with lively, fast-paced gameplay. The Cascading Reels feature allows for the chance to activate several wins during one spin if eight or more identical symbols appear, with additional enhancement when the Permanent Wild appears and remains on the reels until the cascade concludes.
Disco Ball Bonus symbols are prominent, providing multipliers of up to x1000 either individually or triggered by DJ Tiger. When several Multipliers appear in one spin, their amounts merge to enhance the total winnings. Mystery Multipliers between x10 and x1000 may also surface, disclosing their amounts after the complete cascade ends.
Free Spins increase the pace even more, as each Multiplier from a winning spin adds to a Total Multiplier that accumulates during the feature.
Players can also check out the Bonus Shop, which provides three kinds of Free Spins, featuring Mega Free Spins where improved Multipliers from x25 to x1000 can be accessed. Three lively Spin Boosters are available as well, providing players the chance to elevate gameplay at an increased cost per spin.
Featuring an energetic atmosphere and characteristics, DJ Tiger x1000 is a vibrant new entry in the 3 Oaks Gaming collection, aimed at ensuring the celebration continues for players globally.
Victoria Vashukevich, Head of Account Management at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “DJ Tiger x1000 is a vibrant evolution of our scatter pays slot portfolio, bringing a fresh club-themed twist and electrifying Multipliers that elevate the experience.
“The introduction of Disco Ball Bonus Symbols, Mystery Multipliers and a dynamic Bonus Shop add new layers to the gameplay, ensuring every spin feels energetic and engaging.”

3 Blitz Hits
High-Voltage Action — Kendoo’s 3 Blitz Hits Ignite the Reels
Kendoo, the rapidly expanding slot supplier, is raising the stakes with the debut of 3 Blitz Hits, an exhilarating 5×3 slot where lightning-infused Blitz symbols ignite rising payouts and Free Spins enhance up to three stackable modifiers.
Created for speed, energy, and quick reward cycles, 3 Blitz Hits maintains continuous momentum from the initial spin to the last hit.
Central to the game is the engaging Blitz Hit Feature. Hitting three or more Blitz symbols immediately activates increasing payouts that can soar to an impressive 1,000 times the wager.
Lightning stickers can show up on any symbol, contributing to the colored Lightning Progress bars, which increase momentum for the Free Spins round. The violet, red, and blue trails each reveal a unique modifier, allowing for one, two, or all three attributes to trigger a layered Free Spins event.
The bonus begins with seven Free Spins, which can be obtained in both the Main Game and while in Free Spins. Free Spins always start with a minimum of one active feature and may encompass two or all three simultaneously.
The Extra Feature triggers extra Free Spins symbols on the fifth reel, granting +1 spins and prolonging the gameplay. The Double Feature enlarges the grid from 5×3 to 5×6, enhancing symbol coverage and providing a larger opportunity for wins.
At the same time, the Boost Feature adds extra Blitz symbols to the reels without affecting current line wins, enhancing Blitz Hit payouts and maintaining the excitement.
For gamers wanting to accelerate their experience, the Power-Up Buy feature provides immediate entry to Free Spins with one to three randomly chosen features, or the choice to enable all three simultaneously for optimal effect.
Kate Romanenko, Commercial Director at Kendoo: “3 Blitz Hits is all about delivering pure energy and fast-paced excitement.
“The blend of instant Blitz payouts and stackable Free Spins modifiers creates a dynamic flow where every spin feels charged with opportunity. It’s a powerful evolution within our 3 Pots portfolio.”
3 Blitz Hits is now available for demo and real play across all Kendoo partner platforms.
