WSC Sports, the global leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven sports video technology, has worked with Sportradar, a leading global provider of sports intelligence and sports entertainment solutions, to launch Live Video Notification for sports betting operators. Designed to improve customer acquisition and engagement, Live Video Notification is a video push notification that automatically creates live video highlights from WSC Sports machine-learning platform, delivering rich media to users’ mobile app via push notifications presenting game highlights.
WSC Sports’ proprietary AI platform creates personalized automated highlights for every type of sports fan. The technology automates the highlights production process for 17 different sports for over 150 leagues and broadcast partners around the world. The sports betting industry is the latest focus area for WSC Sports with products already live with sportsbooks in the US.
With Live Video Notification, short event clips are delivered in real-time via a push notification encouraging users to view and engage with the app for active and inactive users. In their first co-developed output, WSC Sports and Sportradar are helping betting operators to enhance the user experience, with the potential to boost volume and in-game engagement.
The Live Video Notification is the first in a full suite of products WSC Sports and Sportradar are planning to launch. The two companies will work together to develop new in-app integrations and explore new ways video highlights can enrich the user experience and support the market need for personalized, attractive and unique content.
It’s the latest addition to Sportradar’s Live Channel portfolio, which will stream more than 330,000 sports events in 2021 via its Live Channel Online, Live Channel Retail and Live Channel Trading services. The Live Video Notification service will feature content from Sportradar’s owned media rights which includes top tier football competitions from Europe, Latin America and Asia, as well tennis, basketball and many more.
“We are thrilled to work with an industry leader like Sportradar and look forward to building out a full portfolio of engaging products that will help betting operators differentiate themselves with personalized content while better utilizing streaming rights. Live Video Notification offers users a unique experience that delivers videos of in-game action directly to mobile phones in near real time – creating an entirely new way to engage and experience the action,” said Yuval Benyamini, Head of Betting at WSC Sports.
Patrick Mostboeck, Global Director Video and Streaming Products, Sportradar said: “As the market is continually moving forward, we are constantly looking to provide our clients with new and innovative ways to engage with fans. Live Video Notification is a game changer, providing top quality video highlights in near real-time to deliver a higher betting conversion through this new and unrivalled fan engagement feature.
“Through our work with WSC Sports we hope to bring more innovations to market which will provide long term benefit to our customer base.”

ELA Games releases Spirit of Savanna slot with player-choice bonus
The new 5×3, 10-payline title features Hold and Win or Free Spins selection and three jackpot tiers.
ELA Games has released Spirit of Savanna, a new online slot that introduces a player-choice bonus mechanic alongside Hold and Win, Free Spins, and three jackpot tiers.
Spirit of Savanna runs on a 5×3 reel grid with 10 paylines and is rated volatility 4 out of 5, according to the supplier. RTP is listed across two ranges: 93.98-94.16% and 96.01-96.12%.
The main differentiator is how a Wild symbol contributes to a winning combination. Instead of triggering a fixed feature, the game prompts players to choose between seven Free Spins or a Hold and Win bonus.
Both bonus paths include a Repeat Win feature that carries the value of the triggering win into each spin of the bonus round. The Free Spins feature can also retrigger using the same Wild-combination logic. The game includes three jackpot tiers, with the Grand Jackpot available either by landing two Antelopes or by filling an entire row with coins during Hold and Win.

Games Global launches Candy Combo 2 Power Combo with Slingshot Studios
Games Global has released Candy Combo 2 Power Combo
, developed with exclusive studio partner Slingshot Studios. The new slot follows the original Candy Combo Power Combo
and expands the title’s Link&Win
gameplay and Power Combo
mechanics.
The 5×3, 20-payline game is set in a pastel candy theme and uses five “candy jar” characters above the reels to collect matching symbols and trigger Link&Win
modifiers. The Power Combo
flow activates a Link&Win
bonus played on a 5×4 grid, where cash coins remain in place as new symbols land.
Returning mechanics include Connector symbols with multipliers of up to 10x for completed rows, Collector symbols that gather visible cash values, and Jackpot symbols that award fixed prizes when four matching symbols are collected.
New features include Adder, which adds values to all other landed symbols, and Extender, which unlocks a second independent reel set to extend the Link&Win
round. Games Global said up to five features can be active within a single Link&Win
round, culminating in Super Power Combo
, where all features are active at once. The game also includes Hot Mode
, which adds extra feature symbols to the reels, and Upsizer
, which offers an option to enhance the Link&Win
feature at a cost before the bonus begins.
Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Candy Combo 2 Power Combo
builds on its predecessor – one of our most successful titles – by expanding how features interact within the Link&Win
format.
“The addition of new jars and the ability to combine multiple mechanics introduces more variation across each round, while staying true to the core gameplay players recognise.”
David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “Slingshot Studios has done a brilliantly at evolving a well-established concept by adding depth and flexibility to its feature set.
“The result is a bright, engaging title that enhances a proven mechanic while offering players more ways to experience its core gameplay.”
