Rubik Talent, a technology and sales consultancy focused on diverse talent, declares its support for the men and women leaving the Armed Forces.

The Forces Transition Group, an initiative supporting the transition from Military to Civilian life is delighted to welcome Rubik Talent as a Silver Partner.

Rubik Talent, a fast-growing startup supporting the iGaming, Payments & FinTech industries, has a mission to cultivate brilliant minds, through technical training programmes with industry focus; to help leading technology companies foster a talented, diverse and inclusive workforce.

The Partnership will provide a bridge to those leaving the Forces through professional skills, industry education and technical vocational training. As part of the agreement those who leave the Forces and join FTG will then become eligible to join Rubik Talent’s Academy for Sales or Technology. Through this Partnership, the organisations aim to develop meaningful skills, support positive mental health and inclusion in the workplace.

Robin MacDonald, Rubik Talent Co-Founder said:- “We are thrilled to be partnering with the Forces Transition Group to offer career opportunities to Veterans through our Academy. High growth, tech-based industries like iGaming, Payments and FinTech are all suffering from a lack of talent. This Partnership will provide access to highly skilled, dedicated professionals who are serious about their careers and supporting the industries we serve. On the flip side, ex-services men and women will have the opportunity to take the next meaningful step in their journey”

John Stephenson, Forces Transition Group Founder said:- “It is with great pleasure that The Forces Transition Group (FTG) welcome a top-quality organisation in Rubik Talent to our fantastic audience of service leavers, veterans, and spouses. The legacy we must provide for the future is to create an Exit Strategy for every single person that serves their country and for their families.

“The FTG are delighted to include and provide opportunities in Gaming/IT/Recruitment/Sales across the UK to a cohort of brilliant individuals who have skills that are untouched and not understood through their partnership with Rubik Talent.

“The IT world as we all know is huge but the potential of service people in this arena is uptapped and being missed. Sixty percent of those who work with the FTG have a technical background, aligning them perfectly to these great opportunities. It is imperative that we provide an easy and clear path from the military to business.

“We look forward to a long and successful future with Rubik Talent, creating THE JOB not A JOB for every HUNTER leaving the Armed Forces.”

Modernization adds Momentum ecosystem tools and rolls out new terminals and self-service machines to 1,000+ retailers statewide.

Scientific Games has completed a technology systems conversion for the New Mexico Lottery, modernizing lottery operations with a new gaming system and rolling out retail technology to more than 1,000 locations across the state. The update went live May 11, 2026, according to the company.

Scientific Games said the new system now powers the Lottery’s draw-based and Scratchers’ sales and is designed to simplify product management for retailers. The conversion also includes the launch of the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership (SGEP) instant game management program, which the company said combines analytics, logistics, retail optimization and product strategy.

“The New Mexico Lottery is officially live with new, modern technology systems that work together to enhance all aspects of our operations and ensure we are well-positioned for our next era of growth,” said David Barden, CEO of the New Mexico Lottery. “We’ve strategically planned every step of this holistic modernization effort with Scientific Games to intelligently operate our retail network, making our Scratchers games easier for retailers to manage in their stores and easily accessible to our valued players.”

Scientific Games said the conversion was developed over the past year and is built on its Momentum ecosystem. Components cited include an advanced central gaming system, the SciTrak instant game distribution system, the gem | intelligence retailer licensing and management portal and the INFUSE business intelligence platform. The company said WAVE clerk-operated terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines will be deployed to retailers in planned phases.

“Congratulations to the New Mexico Lottery for building upon our long-standing instant scratch game partnership, embracing innovation for the future,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “We are proud to serve as the Lottery’s full-line partner and help drive maximum proceeds for New Mexico college students.”
