SCCG Management, a leading advisory firm in the global gaming industry, is pleased to announce the expansion of its strategic partnership with Tom’s Watch Bar, a premier and rapidly growing chain of large-format sports entertainment venues. This extended partnership reflects the continued success of Tom’s Watch Bar’s concept and its increasing demand across casino, tribal, and destination entertainment markets.

Since the initial partnership announcement, Tom’s Watch Bar has continued to expand its national footprint. In 2025, the brand announced new openings in Seattle, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Phoenix, San Diego, and Inglewood, and now operates locations nationwide, including key markets such as Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Denver, Houston, Minneapolis, Orlando, Washington DC, and Pittsburgh. Tom’s Watch Bar has also outlined continued expansion plans targeting additional locations across the United States.

Through this expanded partnership, SCCG Management will continue to support Tom’s Watch Bar’s strategic growth within the gaming industry, with a focus on tribal casinos, integrated resorts, and regional gaming properties. SCCG will leverage its global network of operator relationships and deep expertise in gaming operations to facilitate new partnerships, site placements, and long-term commercial opportunities.

Tom’s Watch Bar has established itself as one of the leading sports viewing destinations in the country, known for its immersive, technology-driven environments. Featuring massive central stadium screens, hundreds of high-definition displays, and a fully synchronized “All the Sports, All the Time” programming model, the concept delivers a premium fan experience that aligns directly with the evolving expectations of casino guests and younger demographics.

As casinos continue to prioritize non-gaming revenue streams and experiential offerings, Tom’s Watch Bar provides a proven model for increasing dwell time, enhancing guest engagement, and driving incremental food, beverage, and entertainment revenue.

Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management, commented: “Tom’s Watch Bar has quickly established itself as a category leader in sports entertainment hospitality. The expansion of this partnership reflects both the strength of their concept and the growing demand we’re seeing from tribal and casino operators for high-quality, experience-driven amenities. We’re excited to continue supporting their growth and bringing this best-in-class offering to more gaming destinations globally.

The slot developer is in the running for a studio category, as well as a Most Played Game nomination for Joker Winpot.

ELA Games has been nominated in two major categories at the upcoming SiGMA Americas Awards.

One of the most prominent events in the LatAm iGaming calendar, the SiGMA Americas Awards recognize and reward the expertise and innovation of the industry’s leading suppliers and operators. Earning these nominations points to ELA Games’ expanding presence and entertaining slot content for a global audience, including tailoring its games to build the strongest possible connection with players in Latin America.

ELA’s nominations span the following key categories:

Delegate Vote: Best Game Studio 2026

In the Delegate Vote section, ELA Games is up for Best Game Studio. This category recognizes studios making a notable impact on the local industry, rewarding all-round creative and technical excellence.

Public Vote: Most Played Game – Joker Winpot

Following multiple award nods at various industry events already this year, the studio’s popular title, Joker Winpot, continues its successful run with a nomination for Most Played Game. Moving away from standard classic themes, this release brings high-energy gameplay to the reels, capturing players with its strikingly animated Joker, and the intense decision-making draw of the signature Winpot feature.

Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director at ELA Games, commented on the nominations: “It’s always an honor to be recognized by SiGMA, and especially in a region we have put so much effort into perfecting the tone for. The Latin American market, and Brazil in particular, is growing fast and a big focus for us right now. To be up for Best Game Studio here means the games we create are landing well with the local industry. Seeing Joker Winpot nominated for Most Played Game by public vote is a great bonus, as it proves that the interactivity of Winpot is popular worldwide, just as we intended it to be”

The winners will be announced during the BiS SiGMA South America expo, hosted at the Transamerica Expo Center in São Paulo, Brazil, from April 6 to 9, 2026. The official awards night will kick off the event on April 6th. Voting closes on March 30th, and we urge all players and the iGaming public to visit the official SiGMA website and cast their vote for Joker Winpot and ELA Games today.
