GrooveGaming jazz up North and South American prospects with Jazz Gaming Solutions

Aggregator GrooveGaming continues a juggernaut of alliances and partnership announcements with the news of a major deal to drive growth in Latin America on the back of a tie-up with established South American specialist Jazz Gaming Solutions, 34-year veterans of the Americas market.
With over 427 million people making up the continent, and around 320 million eligible to gamble, South America is attractive to the online gaming industry with pioneers like GrooveGaming making the leap to market development through this strategic content partnership with journeyman Jazz Gaming Solutions.
In only 3 years GrooveGaming has built a mighty aggregation of top igaming software providers in the industry, with diverse content ranging from slots, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games. As an aggregator of choice for some of the biggest names in the business, GrooveGaming recently went live with EveryMatrix, iGP, Digitain, ALEA and Quickfire, amongst others, and with over 2500 casino games alone available on the platform, the GrooveGaming value-proposition continues to go from strength-to-strength.
GrooveGaming has significantly grown its presence in 2019 across key global markets and important regulated jurisdictions over the past several months through partnerships with major online gambling operators. 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 this deal with Jazz Gaming Solutions bolsters 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.
Jazz Gaming Solutions is a pillar of the South American market having a successful 34-year record in developing products and services for a wide range of casinos and entities throughout the region using a variety of business models. Jazz Gaming Solutions has a focus on delivery via online and has enjoyed an excellent reputation within the developing Latin American industry for high-quality technology and innovation.
Eddye Guevara, CEO at Jazz Gaming Solutions said: “South America has emerged as the next big online gaming market and is hungry to experience the best of the global gaming market’s content which is why we chose to go with GrooveGaming. We believe that the Latin American market has enormous potential, and we want to be present and broaden our brands. We also seek strategic alliances with other providers to incorporate into our platform other attractive products like the gems GrooveGaming have secured for their portfolio.”
Rebecca Sotomora, Head of Sales at GrooveGaming said: “With so many game titles available, a constantly expanding content offering, recruitment of exciting new providers, and hundreds of new games added every year, GrooveGaming has quickly become the aggregator of choice around the world, with some of the very best names in the world of gaming like Jazz Gaming Solutions. We look forward to reaping the benefits together as the South American market continues to open up.”

Iconic Online Games Set for Land-Based Debut Through Collaboration of Gaming Arts and Evolution

Â
Gaming Arts, LLC and Evolution, through its dedicated land-based slot games partner Bluhare Studios, announced a landmark collaboration to adapt a select group of Evolution’s most celebrated online slot titles for the land-based Class III gaming market. This partnership combines proven game mechanics, strong brand recognition, innovative features, and Gaming Arts’ suite of high-performance MOD EX cabinets to deliver products designed to meet the expectations of today’s land-based casino players.
The first wave of releases is scheduled for Q4 2025 in North America and will be available across Gaming Arts’ latest cabinet line-up: the MOD EX J55, MOD EX 227, and MOD EX 337. Four titles will lead the launch, each carrying a strong legacy in online gaming along with exciting new enhancements for the casino floor.
Divine Fortune has been a global standout since its debut, ranking as the number one title for Evolution in the United States. Performing well in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and in all states it can be found online. It’s no surprise it has inspired successful online sequels such as Divine Fortune Megaways and Divine Fortune Black. Now, this player favorite will make its long-awaited land-based debut. Developed in collaboration with Gaming Arts, Divine Fortune Ascensionbuilds on the success of the original with a fresh twist, introducing an all-new three-pot perceived persistence feature designed to heighten engagement.
Starburst, released in 2012, is one of the most recognizable slot titles in online gaming history and Evolution’s top performer globally. With its simple yet captivating gameplay, it has remained a staple for over a decade, inspiring sequels such as Starburst XXXtreme and Starburst Galaxy. Starburst Supernovareimagines this classic with a multiplayer-enabled format, launching as part of a two-game multi-pack. Both titles will feature a new perceived persistent bonus mechanic that culminates in a hold-and-spin feature, adding a fresh layer of excitement to an already proven brand.
This collaboration also creates new opportunities for integrated marketing campaigns across both online and land-based platforms, reinforcing brand engagement and building stronger connections with players.
“We are thrilled to be working with the Evolution team, which has long been an industry leader in creating compelling content for online gambling markets.  This partnership allows us to work with two of Evolution’s most celebrated titles and bring them to a brand new player base”, said Greg Colella, Chief Product Officer, Gaming Arts.
“Bringing these iconic titles to land-based casinos represents a major step forward for Gaming Arts,” said Rob Ziems, CEO of Gaming Arts. “This collaboration goes beyond simply combining Evolution’s exceptional game brands with our latest MOD EX hardware. We are working closely with Evolution to effectively adapt these classics for land-based play while also innovating and modernizing them to create fresh, engaging experiences that will truly resonate with today’s casino players.”
Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, said: “Since the beginning of online gaming, content has traditionally flowed in one direction; from land-based casinos to online. That approach made sense, as it brought proven experiences to digital audiences. What excites us now is reversing that trend by taking some of the most successful games in the history of online gaming and bringing them to land-based casinos. Evolution is thrilled to be at the forefront of this shift. This collaboration allows us to bring our world-class IP to the incredibly talented team at Gaming Arts, and watching them work their land-based magic to adapt and reimagine our games has been truly inspiring.”

Gaming Americas Weekly Roundup – September 8-15

Welcome to our weekly roundup of American gambling news again! Here, we are going through the weekly highlights of the American gambling industry which include the latest news and new partnerships. Read on and get updated.
Latest News
IGT announced that its much-anticipated Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin electronic table game (ETG) recently made its world debut at Downtown Grand Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. The vibrant standalone ETG game includes many of the attributes that have propelled the success of the Wheel of Fortune slots franchise for nearly three decades including word puzzles, wheel spins and exciting jackpot rewards. The game is accompanied by an attention-grabbing, 9-plus-feet upright video wheel that stands independent of the ETG terminals and entertains casino guests with the famous “WHEEL-OF-FORTUNE!” chant.
MGM Resorts International has announced that Corey Sanders, Chief Operating Officer, will retire from the company after more than 30 years of dedicated service and leadership. Sanders has agreed to remain COO through Dec. 31, 2025, and to serve as an advisor to the President and CEO through Dec. 31, 2026. The Company intends to name a new COO to serve as Sanders’ successor later this month. Sanders is currently MGM Resorts’ Chief Operating Officer, overseeing the company’s Las Vegas and regional properties as well as multiple corporate departments, including Hospitality, Gaming, Human Resources and Strategic Initiatives. Prior to that, he served as the company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.
Members of Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, the Sherwood Valley Rancheria of Pomo Indians, the Mechoopda Indian Tribe of Chico Rancheria and Big Lagoon Rancheria gathered outside the State Capitol in Sacramento to protest Assembly Bill 831 (AB 831). If passed, the bill would limit economic opportunities available to less wealthy tribes in the state by banning legitimate online social games using sweepstakes promotions. It would also eliminate more than $1 billion of existing economic activity generated by the industry in California, and close off a potential new revenue source for the state via sensible, modern regulation and taxation.
Partnerships
