IWG Builds on InstantJackpots™ Success
Virginia Lottery debuts its second progressive jackpot-enabled e-Instant
Instant Win Gaming (IWG) and the Virginia lottery have released the Company’s second InstantJackpots-enabled e-Instant, Jackpot Payout. This launch of Jackpot Payout builds on the partnership between the Virginia Lottery and IWG. The Virginia Lottery and IWG made history last year by becoming the first in the U.S. to offer a jackpot enabled e-Instant.
Jackpot Payout features two instant-win progressive jackpot prizes – the Grand Jackpot and the Swift Jackpot. The game combines a traditional key number match mechanic with bonus rounds, offering the opportunity for players to win fixed prizes, as well as the chance to unlock the jackpot awards.
The buzz of a growing top prize, as is already well established with lottery draw games, is proving to be equally appealing to e-Instant players. Jackpot Payout follows IWG’s previously released Jungle Tumble Jackpots with both games incorporating rolling progressive jackpots. However, each is structured to target different player segments. Whereas Jungle Tumble Jackpots is designed to award its progressive top prize monthly, Jackpot Payout is optimized to award its rolling mid-tier prize multiple times each day.
All IWG jackpot-enabled games are completely contained within the supplier’s InstantRGS
Rhydian Fisher, IWG CEO, said: “We’re very proud of our partnership with the Virginia Lottery. And, we’re thrilled that they have elected to launch Jackpot Payout, the latest game from IWG to feature our InstantJackpots technology. Jackpot Payout builds on the huge success of Jungle Tumble Jackpots and we cannot be more excited to see how players in the Commonwealth respond to our latest release.”
Rob Wesley, Director of Digital at Virginia Lottery, said: “We are expecting strong results with the launch of Jackpot Payout, our second e-Instant game featuring progressive jackpot prizing. This game will be a great addition to our growing e-Instant portfolio, providing additional variety and expanding on the progressive jackpot category.”

Gaming Corps Secures Alberta iGaming Licence Ahead of Market Launch
Gaming Corps has secured a conditional iGaming supplier licence from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (AGLC), positioning the studio for launch in Alberta’s regulated market from day one.
Granted through its subsidiary Gaming Corps Malta Ltd, the licence allows the company to manufacture and supply gaming software in the Canadian province ahead of the market opening on 13 July 2026.
With approval now secured, Gaming Corps continues to accelerate its North American expansion strategy while strengthening its position in regulated markets.
The move gives operators in Alberta access to Gaming Corps’ portfolio of casino games and proprietary game mechanics as the province prepares to open its regulated iGaming framework.
Alex Lorimer, COO at Gaming Corps said: “Securing our Alberta licence marks another important step in Gaming Corps’ regulated market expansion strategy. Canada continues to represent a key growth region for us, and we’re excited to bring our expanding portfolio of games and unique mechanics to operators and players in Alberta.”
Alberta is set to become Canada’s second regulated open iGaming market, following Ontario, with the AGLC overseeing licensing and compliance requirements for operators and suppliers.

AGCO Takes Enforcement Action Against Two Companies for Allowing Their Games on Unregulated Gaming Websites
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has served Relax Gaming Limited and Arrise Solutions Limited with Orders of Monetary Penalties of $40,000 each. The penalties follow an AGCO investigation that found games created by these companies were available on unregulated gambling websites accessible to Ontario players. Operators of gaming websites that are accessible within Ontario must be registered with the AGCO.
Ontario’s regulated iGaming market is built on clear, enforceable standards that require operators to include strong consumer protections, such as game integrity and responsible gaming safeguards. Unregulated gaming sites do not guarantee player protections or information security and increase the potential risk of harm to players and criminal activity, such as money-laundering and match-fixing. That is why the AGCO actively works to combat unlawful gaming in Ontario.
Relax Gaming and Arrise Solutions are both registered by the AGCO to create and supply slot and casino-style games for play on Ontario’s regulated gaming sites. The AGCO prohibits companies operating in the regulated iGaming market from offering their products to unregulated gaming websites available to Ontario players. Supplying games to such sites helps to sustain unregulated gaming operations.
The AGCO aims to disrupt unregulated gaming and its supply chains to safeguard Ontarians and maintain gaming integrity in the province. The agency monitors the market for regulated entities supplying the unregulated sector.
Following notification from AGCO investigators, both companies cooperated fully with the investigation and took prompt action to restrict access to their games by Ontario players on unregulated sites.
“Ontario’s regulated iGaming market is built on clear rules designed to protect players and hold companies accountable. Unregulated gaming sites operate outside that framework, meaning players have no assurance of fair games, timely withdrawals, or access to meaningful dispute resolution. When regulated games appear on unregulated sites, it risks enabling a market that exposes players to real harm,” said Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar of AGCO.
