Aggregator and platform GrooveGaming has found the incentive to partner with Scottish B2B game provider Incentive Games, who have staked a claim to valuable new areas in the iGaming industry, including lead generation, maximisation of value in the customer base, and, provision of world-class gaming solutions which help businesses realise their full potential. The initial introduction came from Simy Wolf, GrooveGaming’s Head of Legal, who was instrumental in bringing the two dynamic companies together.

Incentive Games with both Free-to-Play and Pay-to-Play virtual sports products has been setting the pace into new territory at an intriguing time for the iGaming industry. The Edinburgh-based company has been going from strength-to-strength and recently celebrated the progress of their flagship Single-Game Fantasy Sports Product, which awards a daily prize to players.

GrooveGaming’s constant integration of high-quality content permits casinos and operators to reshape marketing and promotions while delivering the best possible selection of games for their segment customers using datascience to optimise revenue. The two category-challenging companies see multiple opportunities together based on a shared approach to innovation and synergies around how technology will continue to drive engagement as the primary element in the business model.

With literally thousands of games to choose from, some elements of the GrooveGaming platform are universal to all operators integrated to it through GrooveOne, such as smart dashboards, gaming transactions, game display, calculating jackpot contributions, game metadata, game replays and game histories; as well as the detailed ROI reports, financial transactions, gaming revenue, bets, detailed statistics of gameplay, and RTP analysis to ensure uninterrupted quality performance is experienced by casinos and players.

A major reason why GrooveGaming is becoming the aggregator of choice around the world is that GrooveGaming is powered by technology innovation which provides operators with the ability to activate a range of features that enhance customer experience and engagement, improve retention, encourage extended play and produce a higher yield.

John Gordon, CEO of Incentive Games, said: “Incentive Games already has a presence across five continents so we came to GrooveGaming for enhanced distribution. Their global profile is something we wanted to tap into and we are delighted to be identified partnering with one of the world’s fastest-growing aggregators.”

Yahale Meltzer, COO at GrooveGaming said: “To get an edge in this business is never easy, however, our team are thrilled to bring Incentive Games onboard with a distinctive and successful global offering. Rightly, Groove is better known for its great technology, but we have quietly gone about building a strong team that delivers the service that our operators and partners have come to expect. Simy Wolf, who was recently appointed as Groove’s Head of Legal, will use her network of contacts and broad industry exposure to help enrich our capability to do business, as this partnership with Incentive Games demonstrates.”

A 39-year-old South African expat, Branden Tekram, has won AED 5 million in The UAE Lottery’s Lucky Day draw, according to the operator. The company said the win marks “the first time the second prize has been won on a Wednesday draw since its recent introduction.”

Tekram said he discovered the result while checking email. “It’s still overwhelming and unbelievable. I don’t know how to explain it. I mean, I’m a millionaire in Dubai,” he said. He added that he told his wife at home and they “sat there in disbelief.”

The winner said the family plans to take a staged approach to using the money, including funding a prototype linked to a patent application his wife is working on, and potentially moving into a villa. He also said the win could help them access additional support for their son.

The operator said it has awarded more than AED 300 million in prizes to more than 340,000 winners across its portfolio, including Lucky Day, Scratch Cards, and E-Instants. Lucky Day draws run every Wednesday and Saturday, with prizes including the AED 30 million grand prize and AED 5 million second prize. The company said all games are regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA).

Spinomenal has released The Desperado Drifter Hold & Hit 3×3, the latest addition to its Hold & Hit portfolio.

The Western-themed slot uses a 3×3 bonus grid and features a Wild symbol (a bag of gems) that substitutes for all symbols except Bonus and Bonus Collect. Bonus coins land on reels one and three, while the Bonus Collect coin lands on reel two.

When Bonus Collect lands alongside one or more Bonus symbols, the game triggers an Instant Win Feature that collects the values and adds them directly to the player’s balance. The same symbol combination also starts the Bonus Game, with triggering symbols locked in place and three spins awarded initially.

During the Bonus Game, only Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols can appear. Spins can apply multipliers of x1, x2, x5, x7, x10 and x15, and the feature includes jackpots set at Mini (x25 total bet), Minor (x50 total bet), Major (x150 total bet) and Grand (x5,000 total bet) for filling all nine positions. The spin counter resets each time a new symbol lands.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya, commented: “The Desperado Drifter Hold & Hit 3×3 gives players the chance to join a high-stakes Wild West adventure. Smart visuals, nail-biting gameplay and a four-tier jackpot peaking at x5,000 make this a title that will keep players coming back for more.”
