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.”

Pascal Gaming signs Ronaldinho for football-themed crash and slot titles
First release is Avinho R10, followed by June launch Fortune Ronaldinho as the studio lines up more titles ahead of the World Cup season.
Pascal Gaming has partnered with Brazilian football player Ronaldinho to launch a dedicated portfolio of games inspired by the athlete, the company said on 26 May, 2026.
The planned pipeline includes crash games, slots and additional titles set to roll out through the year. Pascal Gaming said the initiative is aimed at both Brazil and international markets, and will be supported by tournaments, promotional activity and special events tied to the Ronaldinho-branded portfolio.
The first game confirmed is Avinho R10, described as a crash-style title featuring Ronaldinho “above Brazil” in an aviation-themed experience. A second game, Fortune Ronaldinho, is scheduled for release in June and is positioned as a slot-inspired title.
“Ronaldinho is one of the most recognisable and loved football personalities in the world, so for us this collaboration is much more than a game launch. It is a global entertainment project that combines football culture, emotionally engaging gameplay and strong promotional activities ahead of the World Cup,” said Armen Mnaskanian, Head of Sales at SoftConstruct Gaming Content.
Pascal Gaming said it has been expanding its crash game portfolio during 2026 and investing in localised, character-driven content across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The company added that more Ronaldinho-themed titles and marketing campaigns will be revealed in the coming months.

PokerStars Open Namur returns May 27 with €1m guaranteed Main Event
Belgium stop at Circus Casino Resort Namur runs May 27–June 7 and adds PokerStars Live League points toward a €157,500 credit pool.
PokerStars will bring PokerStars Open Namur back to Circus Casino Resort Namur from May 27 to June 7, with the festival returning one day after the operator’s May 26 announcement.
The stop follows a 2025 edition PokerStars said was record-breaking for Belgium, including 1,571 entries in the Main Event and what it called the largest live tournament prize pool in Belgian poker history.
This year’s schedule is headlined by the €1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event, which carries a €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Other listed highlights include the €400 PokerStars Open Cup (May 27-31), €3,300 Super High Roller (June 1-2), €2,200 High Roller (June 5-6), and €800 Mystery Bounty (June 6-7).
“Last year’s turnout reinforced Namur’s place as one of the most exciting live poker stops in Europe,” said Cedric Billot, Associate Director of Live Events Operations at PokerStars. “What makes the event special isn’t just the size of the fields, it’s the atmosphere around the entire festival.”
PokerStars also positioned Namur as a scoring stop in the PokerStars Live League, which awards points across High, Medium and Low leaderboard tiers. PokerStars said players are competing for a share of €157,500 in PokerStars LIVE event credit, with the top 30 players in each tier qualifying for a €100,000 freeroll at the first European Poker Tour festival of 2027.
