Vegangster Integrates ZingBrain AI for Smart Game Recommendations Across Operator Lobbies
Vegangster has integrated ZingBrain AI‘s smart lobby personalisation into its platform, adding a new layer of game discovery for players across Vegangster-powered brands.
Casino lobbies now feature AI-driven recommendation sections tailored to each player’s preferences, much like those on Spotify or Netflix. Players see personalised rows such as “Picked for You”, “Because You Like…” and “Try Other Games With Similar Mechanics”, which point them to relevant titles. These recommendations can also be presented directly in Vegangster’s own Scroll & Play feed, giving each player a personalised discovery experience in a well-known format.
According to ZingBrain AI’s published results, smart lobby personalisation delivers a 5–15% uplift in GGR and turnover, 10–15% more games played, and a 5–10% increase in player active days, while cutting time spent on lobby management by 80%.
Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, commented:
“ZingBrain works hand in hand with our own Scroll & Play feed: the engine decides which games are right for each player, and Scroll & Play puts them in front of them as gameplay clips they can watch and jump straight into.”
In practice, this changes how the lobby works for both sides. A player who keeps coming back to crash games sees fresh titles with similar mechanics instead of the same generic top grid, and players returning after a break land in a lobby built around what they already love. Operators, meanwhile, stop curating lobby positions by hand: a new game release reaches the players most likely to enjoy it from day one, without competing for a banner slot.
Another application of the engine is provider cost optimisation. Operators set priority levels for individual providers and games based on deals, campaigns, or new launches, and ZingBrain applies those priorities to personalised recommendations. In A/B tests across four brands, this redirected up to 20% of turnover and GGR to more profitable titles, with no drop in player performance.
The integration is now available to all Vegangster operator clients.

The company said Ochoa will front football-led brand activity, including local promotions and fan engagement campaigns designed for Mexican audiences. BC.GAME positioned the partnership as part of its continued investment in what it described as the regulated Mexican market.

“Football has always been about passion, community and shared experiences. I look forward to working with BC.GAME and BCGAME.mx to connect with fans in new ways.”
BC.GAME said the agreement comes during a “landmark summer” for football across Mexico, the United States and Canada, and described the signing as part of a broader sports entertainment strategy spanning football, esports and entertainment partnerships.

Tom Horn Gaming ships Royal Ruby FeatureStorm slot worldwide on 14 July 2026
New Hold & Win title adds a collection meter, Bonus Buy options, and max win of 13,920x on a 5×3, 9-payline setup.
Tom Horn Gaming will launch Royal Ruby FeatureStorm worldwide on 14 July 2026, adding a new Hold & Win slot to its portfolio.
The game runs on a 5×3 reel layout with nine paylines and is positioned as a high-volatility release. Tom Horn Gaming said the title offers a maximum win potential of up to 13,920x the stake and is built around its Hold & Win FeatureStorm mechanic.
In the base game, a collection meter above the reels fills as Ruby symbols land. According to the company, completing the meter can trigger one of seven bonus combinations that include collectors, multipliers and jackpots, while landing three Ruby symbols triggers the Hold & Win Bonus Game immediately.
During the bonus, Ruby symbols convert into locked Value Coins on a 5×3 grid, with three respins awarded and the counter resetting when new symbols land. Tom Horn Gaming said Collector, Multiplier and Jackpot symbols can interact during the feature, and the game includes two Bonus Buy options: 50x total bet for direct access to the Hold & Win bonus, or a 120x option that “guarantees all three special symbols are active from the outset.”
Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming, said: “Royal Ruby FeatureStorm builds on the enduring appeal of Hold & Win gameplay while introducing a collection mechanic that keeps players engaged throughout every session. Combined with rewarding bonus interactions and strong win potential, the game delivers an experience that resonates with players while offering operators a valuable addition to their content portfolios.”
