Social casino players to experience Pariplay’s cutting-edge content through agreement with German operator

Pariplay Ltd., the No. 1 aggregator and content provider behind innovative products including the Fusion aggregation platform and the Ignite Studio development programme, has announced its partnership with German social gaming operator Ously Games. The agreement marks a major milestone for Pariplay and will see the provider’s suite of industry-leading games be made available to social casino enthusiasts for the first time, via the Ously Games social casino app SpinArena.

Ously Games’ first B2C product, SpinArena, where Pariplay’s renowned content will be making its social casino debut, is an innovative app with the largest selection of slots and casino games, featuring advanced graphics, immersive atmosphere and lasting entertainment value. Backed by a team with extensive industry knowledge and its propriety backend solution “seriOUSLY1.0”, Ously Games delivers cross-platform gaming services that provide truly unique experiences to millions of players all over the world.

Pariplay’s first step into the social casino space comes as the market is projected to experience significant growth over the next few years, due to a major upsurge in gaming and smartphone traffic. According to social casino database bV1sion, gross gaming revenue (GGR) for the global social casino market is projected to climb to $7.2 billion by 2024, representing a 36% increase compared to the $5.3 billion earned in 2019.

Ously Games’ global presence and reputation as a technological trailblazer will strategically complement Pariplay’s own cutting-edge technology and content, driving a highly-anticipated first foray into the social casino market. The partnership will extend the reach of Pariplay’s portfolio of exciting games to a completely new player base, including its top German-compliant titles like Dragons of the North, Joker Joker, Torro’s Gold, Hot 777 and Wolf Riches. In addition to gaining access to Pariplay’s content, Ously Games will also look to take advantage of its revolutionary Fusion aggregation platform as part of an expanding partnership.

Jochen Martinez, CMO at Ously Games said: “We are delighted that Pariplay has partnered with Ously Games as part of its introduction to the social casino market, and equally excited by the mutual growth opportunities that the deal presents. Their state-of-the-art technology and suite of games are already enjoyed on a global scale and will greatly help us work towards our stated goal of establishing a leadership role in Europe’s social gambling market.”

Andrew Maclean, Director of Sales at Pariplay, said: “We are very impressed with Ously Games’ offering, particularly from a technological standpoint and see them as a great fit for our entry into the social casino market. Entering a growing vertical that has a huge global following will help amplify our presence and play an important role in Pariplay’s regulated market expansion by opening our content up to a whole new player base.”

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.

“The New Mexico Lottery is officially live with new, modern technology systems that work together to enhance all aspects of our operations and ensure we are well-positioned for our next era of growth,” said David Barden, CEO of the New Mexico Lottery. “We’ve strategically planned every step of this holistic modernization effort with Scientific Games to intelligently operate our retail network, making our Scratchers games easier for retailers to manage in their stores and easily accessible to our valued players.”

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.”
