Spectators at Britain’s most valuable raceday, QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot, will be among the first to see Total Performance Data’s (TPD) in-running graphics on-course.

On the back of Sky Sports Racing’s display of the full running order during the William Hill Racing League as well as at a couple of recent Ascot racedays, QIPCO British Champions Day is the latest meeting where racegoers will witness TPD’s in-running graphics in action.

TPD’s graphics engine has been enriching live US racing pictures for some time and is launching in the UK at Ascot. The graphics represent data from the Longines Timing System which is one of the most sophisticated systems in the world and has been in place at Ascot since 2019.

The TPD in-running graphics will translate the Longines Timing System data into a live running order of the first 10 horses, the speed of the leader, the most recent three split times relative to average speeds and a distance countdown. The graphics will be shown across the racecourse on Ascot TV, including the big screens, to boost the racing engagement for those in attendance for the stellar six-race card, worth £4million, and featuring four Group 1s as well as Europe’s richest handicap, with punters able to see exactly where their horse is racing on the big screen.

Will Duff Gordon, CEO of Total Performance Data, said: “We’ve been very happy with how our in-running graphics have been received throughout the Racing League as well as at a handful of meetings at Ascot and we’re pleased to take it a step further at QIPCO British Champions Day this month.

“It’s fantastic that Ascot will be using our on-course graphics technology on a permanent basis and with the likes of QIPCO British Champions Day, Royal Ascot and other big meetings taking place there throughout the year, thousands of racegoers will witness the technology first-hand, which will hopefully enhance their raceday betting experience.”

Pragmatic Play, a leading iGaming content provider, has rolled out Jelly Express, a vibrant new slot where a gummy bear conductor leads a locomotive through a colourful candy-coated world.

Set across 6×5 reels, the game delivers a lively experience filled with rewarding mechanics. Players can win by landing 8 to 12+ matching symbols anywhere on the grid, with base game payouts reaching up to 50x. Adding extra sweetness, candy train wilds boost wins with multipliers of up to 100x.

The excitement ramps up when three coin scatter symbols trigger the bonus round, offering players a choice between six different feature options. Each option provides a unique mix of free spins (up to 25) and wild multipliers (up to 100x), while a mystery pick adds an extra layer of unpredictability.

During the feature, landing an additional scatter can activate Super Free Spins, where wild multipliers are collected by the candy train above the reels. This cumulative multiplier is then applied to future wins involving wilds, unlocking a maximum win potential of up to 5,000x.

In selected markets, players can also take advantage of special bet options, including increased chances of triggering free spins, guaranteed wilds on every spin, or enhanced win potential with minimum 10x wild multipliers that stack during tumbles.

Jelly Express is the latest addition to Pragmatic Play’s growing portfolio.

Operators in West Virginia will benefit from RubyPlay’s flexible content platform, built on shared technology, infrastructure, and distribution capabilities designed to meet individual partner requirements.

The move continues RubyPlay’s steady expansion across the US, following successful entries into New Jersey and Delaware. As the company builds momentum in regulated markets, the US remains a central pillar of its growth strategy, with plans to enter Pennsylvania in the near future.

“Our launch in West Virginia reflects RubyPlay’s ongoing commitment to expanding across regulated US markets,” said Dima Reiderman, Chief Commercial Officer at RubyPlay.
“Each new state allows us to strengthen our commercial presence while building valuable partnerships with leading operators.
