Scientific Games and BoyleSports, Ireland’s Largest Bookmaker, Launch Upgraded Promote Screen Solution
Scientific Games Corporation and BoyleSports have upgraded the Ireland bookmaker’s screen solution from legacy technology to Promote, the world leading screen solution from the OpenEngage™ range of OpenSports™.
BoyleSports is Ireland’s largest bookmaker, and with the upgrade to Promote, they receive state of the art screen management solutions that empower them to present their sports betting data to punters in a sleek, intuitive package.
BoyleSports launched Promote with a select few shops in November 2019, and with Scientific Games they plan to roll out complete upgrades across every BoyleSports property in Ireland and the UK. Additionally, BoyleSports will onboard new betting shops with the upgraded screen solution.
Jenna Boyle, BoyleSports Group Retail Director for BoyleSports, said, “We’ve used the Scientific Games’ screen solution through its early development since 2001, which was a major factor in our decision to upgrade to their new Promote screen product. Reliability is key, and Scientific Games with its OpenSports product set offers a great history of performance alongside a futuristic approach to sports betting technology. We can’t wait to see the ongoing reaction to our upgraded screen technology.”
By choosing Promote, BoyleSports has highlighted the unique modular nature of the OpenSports product portfolio. OpenSports empowers global partners to choose the technology that works best for their business and for their players. SportsSports betting operators worldwide choose OpenSports for this flexibility and reliability.
Keith O’Loughlin, SVP Sportsbook and Platforms, Digital for Scientific Games, said, “Promote is the latest and greatest screen management technology on the market, and we’re thrilled to bring it to BoyleSports’ many locations across Ireland. BoyleSports has been a strong force in retail betting shops, providing the best experience for retail customers. This deal shows their ongoing commitment to raising the bar in retail and also shows their dedication to the future of retail sports betting following their recent acquisitions and expansion.”

Spinomenal Rings in 2026 with Japanese-Inspired “Kami Reign Ultra Mode”
Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has officially kicked off the new year with the launch of Kami Reign Ultra Mode. The latest addition to the studio’s popular Mythology Series, the game transports players to a mystical twilight forest governed by ancient Japanese spirits.
Set against a backdrop of blooming cherry blossoms and traditional torii gates, the 5×4 reel slot is elevated by an atmospheric oriental soundtrack and a narrative centered on four powerful entities: Kitsune (the Fox Spirit), Raijin (the Thunder Demon), Jorōgumo (the Spider Woman), and Amaterasu (the Sun Goddess).
A Four-Stage Spiritual Journey
The game’s core innovation lies in its progressive Free Spins feature. Triggered by landing three Japanese Maple Tree symbols, the bonus round advances players through four distinct modes, each representing a different spirit:
-
Kitsune’s Guaranteed Wins: Any losing spin triggers a respin that guarantees a winning combination.
-
Raijin’s Sticky Wilds: Sticky Wilds appear and remain on the reels until the end of the round. In Ultra Mode, a multiplier starts at x2 and increases with every respin, resetting only after a win.
-
Jorōgumo’s Synced Reels: Two random reels are synchronized to display identical symbols. In Ultra Mode, this expands to three synced reels.
-
Amaterasu’s Stacked Wilds: Landing a full Stacked Wild triggers a respin. In Ultra Mode, Stacked Wilds are guaranteed on every spin across reels one to five.
The Power of Ultra Mode
Players can drastically enhance their gameplay by landing the Ultra Scatter—represented by a Divine Cherry Blossom Tree. This “Ultra Mode” boosts the mechanics of each free spin stage, offering increased multipliers, more synced reels, and guaranteed stacked Wilds.
In the base game, players can also benefit from random win multipliers of x2 or x3, while five Wild symbols on a payline offer a payout of x300 the bet.
“Kami Reign Ultra Mode takes players on an awesome Asian adventure alongside four Japanese spirits,” commented Omer Henya, CO-CEO of Spinomenal. “Stunning graphics, rich storytelling, and progressive features all help build an experience that players will adore.”
