GrooveGaming backs Fire&Ice Party for the future of iGaming
GrooveGaming are sponsoring the historic Fire&Ice party ‘Rhythm & Beats’ on Wednesday February 5 at Troxy to get the party started in the iGaming industry for the next decade along with sister slot-maker Fugaso. The rapidly expanding GrooveGaming are proud to sponsor this iconic event in London’s East End during ICE2020 to host all their friends in the iGaming community to a great night out!
Fire&Ice is the most anticipated event in the igaming social calendar and the largest social igaming networking event. Held at the iconic Troxy in East London, the Art Deco building will welcome 3000 igaming elite for what promises to be the night of the year for all GrooveGaming and Fugaso partners and friends. The party provides a distinctive networking atmosphere allowing attendees to network with great minds in the iGaming business. This event is held every year during the same week as the London Affiliate Conference and ICE Totally gaming.
GrooveGaming has been attracting attention for all the right reasons over the past year, with a meteoric rise that has snowballed into 2020. Created with the aim of easy and fast content delivery for the iGaming industry, GrooveGaming powered ahead in 2019 as the aggregator of choice for a host of big industry names including EveryMatrix, iGP, Digitain, ALEA and Quickfire, amongst others, and with over 2500 casino games available on the platform and a series of aggregated content added to GrooveGaming, operators are able to find the instant integration that has a wealth of curated content to drive player engagement and revenue.
The world’s fastest-growing aggregator GrooveGaming has been in top gear developing powerful market positions in Europe, the Far East, Latin America and Africa, as well as focusing on the technology development that has set the accelerating aggregator apart over the last 12 months. GrooveGaming has carved out a significant space within Europe’s regulated gambling markets, and a recent announcement about a new partnership with Super Spade Games has given a boost to its Far Eastern ambitions, while deals with Jazz Gaming Solutions and Patagonia Entertainment has bolstered its growth prospects in the Latin American market.
GrooveGaming’s global reach is underpinned by tailoring games lists and promotions for operators working in multiple markets to reflect typical regional player attitudes thereby helping to drive player engagement and revenue. A key reason why GrooveGaming is becoming a supplier of choice around the world is that GrooveGaming is powered by technology innovation which provides operators with the ability to activate a range of features that enhance customer experience and engagement, improve retention, encourage extended play and produce higher yield.
Fugaso, who recently celebrated their third anniversary, is also on a roll, having recently been announced as a finalist in two AskGamblers Award categories which play to the company’s strengths, Best Slots and Best Software Provider, in what is considered the world’s most prestigious casino awards.
Robert Metzger, Head of Business Development at Fugaso said: “Building an emotional connection to customers is at the heart of slots development, so we are proud to support this year’s Fire & Ice party to take the industry into the future.”
Rebecca Sotomora, Head of Sales at GrooveGaming said: “This is an opportunity to host our clients and suppliers at the industry’s most famous event, and a way for GrooveGaming to meet and entertain clients, affiliates, media and all key igaming stakeholders in a fun and relaxing environment with a full evening of partying and entertainment. We look forward to making lots of new friends!”

DeGaming launches Web3 iGaming platform, names Ulle Skottling CEO
DeGaming has launched a Web3 iGaming platform and appointed Ulle Skottling as CEO, with the company positioning on-chain operations as a way to improve transparency across operators, affiliates and players.
The platform’s core product pitch is its proprietary “Glass Vault” technology, which DeGaming says provides real-time proof of funds and independently verifiable visibility of balances, transactions, and payouts.
DeGaming is also offering “Bankroll as a service,” routing transactions through its on-chain transaction engine to provide operators access to scalable liquidity for withdrawals and platform stability. The company said this is designed to reduce friction for operators trying to scale, while giving players visibility into the funds available on the platform.
The supplier said its unified platform combines game access, player account management (PAM) and reporting in a single blockchain-native operational engine. DeGaming added that operators can launch a customisable casino or sportsbook in “as little as two weeks,” including crypto and fiat deposits, automated payouts and a back-office.
Skottling joins as CEO to lead what DeGaming called its next phase. He has held senior roles at RAW iGaming, Videoslots and NetEnt. Skottling said: “The industry has evolved rapidly, but transparency and trust have not kept pace. It runs on what you can’t see, whereas we have built a platform that you can. We are challenging the model and defining the new standard for gaming infrastructure.
“Our Glass Vault technology gives operators, affiliates and players independently verifiable visibility into platform activity and funds in real time. The future of gaming will be built on openness, accountability and infrastructure that all participants genuinely trust.”
Emil Ahmed, co-founder of DeGaming, added: “Appointing Ulle as CEO is an important step in DeGaming’s next phase. We have built the platform around a clear belief that gaming needs more transparency, stronger infrastructure, and greater operational trust. Ulle brings the industry experience, commercial understanding, and leadership needed to take that vision to market and help operators launch with confidence.”

Century Casinos Inc. announced that Lyle Randolph, a long-term regional Vice President and General Manager of the Company, will take over as Executive Vice President of Operations for the US.
Mr. Randolph will be appointed to this new role effective May 15, 2026. As Executive Vice President of Operations for the US, Mr. Randolph will oversee the Company’s seven U.S. properties. These casinos comprise a combined 4701 slot machines, 93 table games, 2127 hotel rooms, and over 20 food and beverage venues.
Mr. Randolph is a veteran gaming and hospitality executive with more than 30 years of leadership experience in casino operations, hotel and food & beverage management, capital development, and multi-property strategic oversight. He began his gaming career in 1995 at Casino Aztar in Missouri. When Isle of Capri Casinos acquired the property, he became General Manager of both Caruthersville and Cape Girardeau. Throughout his leadership tenure, he successfully navigated the properties through multiple ownership transitions involving Isle of Capri Casinos and Eldorado Resorts while operating under the leadership and mentorship of notable gaming industry executives including James Perry, Virginia McDowell, Eric Hausler, Gary Carano, and Tom Reeg. These experiences provided exposure to a broad spectrum of leadership philosophies ranging from entrepreneurial founder-led management and family-driven regional gaming growth to highly analytical, public-company expansion strategies. During his tenure with Isle of Capri Casinos, Mr. Randolph received the company’s Jack Galloway Award recognizing leadership and operational achievement.
Since Century Casinos’ acquisition of the Missouri properties in 2019, Mr. Randolph has served as Vice President of Operations for both Missouri casino properties. Mr. Randolph has overseen more than $80 million in combined capital development projects, which has resulted in Adjusted EBITDAR growing over 70% under his leadership.
In addition to his operational responsibilities, Mr. Randolph has remained active in civic, charitable, and industry leadership initiatives throughout his career, including statewide advisory appointments and leadership roles with regional business, tourism, humanitarian, and gaming organizations, underscoring his understanding of the value of responsible corporate citizenship.
