Aggregator and platform GrooveGaming has demonstrated once again that attention to detail is everything with the latest signing of fiery game developer Gamzix, who have been quick out of the blocks after launching last year. GrooveGaming, despite being the fount for thousands of games, still seeks out the best up-and-coming new games showing the company has a finger on the pulse of what’s hot in the industry today.

Gamzix is a new and dynamic slots developer that has hit the market with loads of energy and innovation. With a small but rapidly developing stable of high-quality, exciting games, the Gamzix focus is on expanding partnerships rapidly to develop a strong operator and player base, while continuing to rely on their robust game engine to deliver new titles monthly.

The Gamzix slots are underpinned by proprietary technology that demonstrate a feel for the market designed to attract players based on high-quality graphics that feature well-rounded characters, compelling storylines, catchy composition and advanced mathematics, such as new release Sunny Coin, urban classic Hot Life, 40 Chilli Fruits, Dragon’s Secret and the Make Money series, amongst others.

This latest agreement with muscular game aggregator GrooveGaming is a demonstration that the bullish aggregator has a carefully curated portfolio of games that includes major games studios as well as the cream of the crop in upcoming talent, with Gamzix attracting attention with in-game features, such as Run-on-Reels and its Super Hot Bet. GrooveGaming has carved out a hard-won reputation for being one of the world’s foremost one-stop-shops for casino content based on a world-class portfolio featuring thousands of games.

GrooveGaming works with tier-1 operators and beyond to professionalise technology solutions that deliver high performance and sustainable revenue around aggregated content ranging from slots, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, as well as new games segments featuring blockchain games and Real Casino, that operators can access via easy integration to drive player engagement and revenue.

GrooveOne, the GrooveGaming backend that provides operators with the ability to manage player registrations, payments, bonuses, marketing, and other key functions, is supported by one of the strongest technical teams in the industry, making the back-office a scalable tool which grows with the operator.

Alexander Kosogov, CEO of Gamzix said: “GrooveGaming is pretty-much an almost perfect fit for us. GrooveGaming offers everything we need to enable our games to roll out an engaging, first-class slots experience across all the markets we are interested in, and we look forward to capitalising on this new partnership as we ramp up production on our slots development.”

Yahale Meltzer, COO at GrooveGaming said: “We are thrilled to have Gamzix join our cluster and to give them unparalleled access to some of the world’s leading operators as well as boosting their visibility in the player community. We are looking forward to supporting Gamzix’s impressive team further into the market after clinching this deal, and thereby furthering our clear objective of offering one of the best game portfolios available worldwide.”

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
