Aggregator GrooveGaming is attending the Caribbean Gaming Show (CGS) on August 27 and 28, which is this year celebrating 10 years in the gaming industry. The show and summit are primarily focused on the Latin American market where GrooveGaming has established a significant presence.

The current outlook with COVID-19 and the possibility of a second wave has prompted the organisers to take the digital leap with the online show designed as ‘CGS Cloud 2020’, the focus for the show and summit being to keep looking forward to a rapid revival across the gaming industry.

Between August 27 and 28 ‘CGS Cloud 2020’ delegates will hear from over 100 engaging speakers from all around the world, with 15-panel discussions addressing a range of LatAm gaming problems, and hearing from top experts on how to move ahead during these uncertain times.

GrooveGaming’s line-up of gaming and content solutions will be showcased at the forthcoming ‘CGS Cloud 2020′ and will cover the award-winning technology that catapulted GrooveGaming to one of the ’10 Best Technology Solution Providers of 2020’ by IndustryEra, firmly demonstrating that the aggregator’s technology development is being acknowledged not only in the iGaming industry, but also from outside it.

GrooveGaming’s powerful platform includes over 4000 casino games as well as a wealth of aggregated content ranging from slots, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, that operators can access via easy integration to drive player engagement and revenue.

GrooveGaming has numerous live dealer titles and has built a powerful on-demand live content offering that includes live roulette, baccarat, blackjack and live dedicated tables, all of which have been generating significant interest during 2020. In addition, GrooveGaming’s virtual sports offering includes virtual football, tennis, horse-racing, cycling and greyhound racing, with virtual Euro basketball and cricket coming soon to the rapidly-expanding aggregator.

A major reason why GrooveGaming is becoming the aggregator 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 a higher yield.

Elizabeth Leiva Goycochea, CEO of CGS Group LLc, organiser of the Caribbean Gaming Show said: “We are delighted to be pioneers, this will be the first virtual event for the Latam industry. We have lined up more than 45 panelists and important exhibiting brands with the purpose to link operators from the Caribbean, Latin America and Brazil. With 15 Panels as the main attraction of this Virtual Summit, the CGS panels are highly accessible being streamed and translated in 3 languages: English, Spanish and Portuguese.”

Rebecca Sotomora, Head of Sales at Groove Gaming said: “Our footprint in Latin America is strong and we want to keep our finger on the pulse of the market while supporting the ‘CGS Cloud 2020’ event. We will be alongside and amongst all the main Latin American gaming industry these 3 days to meet, share knowledge, experiences, trends, technology and, most importantly, to do business.”

Modernization adds Momentum ecosystem tools and rolls out new terminals and self-service machines to 1,000+ retailers statewide.

Scientific Games has completed a technology systems conversion for the New Mexico Lottery, modernizing lottery operations with a new gaming system and rolling out retail technology to more than 1,000 locations across the state. The update went live May 11, 2026, according to the company.

Scientific Games said the new system now powers the Lottery’s draw-based and Scratchers’ sales and is designed to simplify product management for retailers.

Scientific Games said the conversion was developed over the past year and is built on its Momentum ecosystem. Components cited include an advanced central gaming system, the SciTrak instant game distribution system, the gem | intelligence retailer licensing and management portal and the INFUSE business intelligence platform. The company said WAVE clerk-operated terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines will be deployed to retailers in planned phases.

“Congratulations to the New Mexico Lottery for building upon our long-standing instant scratch game partnership, embracing innovation for the future,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “We are proud to serve as the Lottery’s full-line partner and help drive maximum proceeds for New Mexico college students.”
