Paddy Power to increase digital betting shop displays in 2022
Digital age beckons for Paddy Power punters thanks to expanded BoscaSports deal
Digital betting shop displays are becoming commonplace in shops across the UK and Ireland thanks to digital platform provider BoscaSports.
The Dublin-based business’s cutting-edge digital displays will be in more than 40 Flutter owned Paddy Power betting shops in UK and Ireland by the end of 2022.
This BoscaSports service is transforming the LBO and Tote marketplaces with best-in-class technology and real time content that engages customers, with the BoscaSports platform already delivering 5,000+ Tote screens at 84 of the UK & Irelands 86 racecourses.
The retail landscape is emerging from a challenging two years where Covid impacted greatly on customers’ access to shops, with many turning to online platforms to place their bets. Those customers are returning to shops more digitally savvy than before and are increasingly open to new digital experiences in retail.
The 4k in-shop displays feature up-to-the-second live information and Paddy Power pricing on all key sporting events throughout the day, keeping the retail display space live and relevant at all times.
Speaking about the deployment plans, BoscaSports’ Founder & Product Director, Fergal Downey, said: “We’re delighted to be undertaking such a significant further deployment with Paddy Power. They have always led the market in innovation, and this is another example of that. We are looking forward to further developing our product offering with such a forward-thinking operator.”
Simon Charnock, Director of Product at Flutter UK&I, added, “We will be introducing BoscaSport’s digital offering in some new shops and those that are being refitted or retro fitted throughout the year. The shops, which include Manchester’s Piccadilly Plaza, Leeds City Centre and Hammersmith will feature a mix of BoscaSport’s upgraded passive screens and new interactive screens.”
Ben Dowding, Director of Betting at Racecourse Media Group and Director of BoscaSports, added, “Digital betting shop display is just one of the key areas of collaboration RMG are working with Flutter on as part of a long-term strategic agreement announced in late 2021. We are delighted to see the further rollout of BoscaSport’s product in Paddy Power shops throughout 2022, including the deployment of Bosca’s new interactive product.”
The Paddy Power shops will be amongst the first to feature BoscaSports Interactive, a touchscreen solution that offers retail customers access to digital tools previously only available online. Along with the core racing information, it gives access to tools segmented by price, stats, markets, tipsters, and visualised form.

Psiclone Games and Playtech-built title features three Free Spins modifiers, including expanding reels, sliding wilds and jackpots up to 500x bet.
PokerStars Casino has released Skullapalooza as the fifth game in its 2026 The Slotlist series, making the title the featured slot on the operator’s Casino tab for the month.
Skullapalooza is developed by Psiclone Games and Playtech. The game’s core hook is a Free Spins system built around three “Skull” features that can be triggered individually or in combination: expanding reels, jackpot accumulators and stacked sliding wilds.
According to the company, players can land different coloured gems to randomly trigger one or more Free Spins variants. Pink gems may trigger Free Games with Expanding Reels, blue gems may add Sliding Wilds, and purple gems may activate pots with a grand prize of up to 500x total bet. The company said all three variants can be active at once.
“The Slotlist is designed to spotlight games that deliver a well-rounded player experience, combining innovative features, striking visuals, and immersive gameplay”, said Ed Fogarty, Associate Director of PokerStars Casino Commercial. “Skullapalooza embodies all these qualities, and we’re thrilled to feature it prominently in The Slotlist this month.”
Skullapalooza joins earlier 2026 Slotlist picks including Baozang Empire of Plenty, Magnificent Power Leprechaun, and 12 Burning Baseballs.

Governor Hobbs signs SB 1671; new budget sets $4M spend authority plus $500K a year from event wagering funds.
The Arizona Department of Gaming has secured a six-year continuation after Governor Hobbs signed Senate Bill 1671, following the 2026 legislative session that adjourned June 12, 2026. The continuation also covers the Arizona State Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission and the Arizona Racing Commission.
The Department said SB 1671 affirms its authority to regulate tribal gaming, event wagering and fantasy sports, horse racing and simulcast wagering, and boxing and mixed martial arts.
In parallel, the Department said Senate Bill 1847 and the state’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget expand expenditure authority for its Division of Problem Gambling. The budget authorizes $4,000,000 in total spending for the Division, which the agency said is a 20% increase from FY26.
The Department also said the legislature granted an annual $500,000 expenditure authority to use Event Wagering funds to support problem gambling, and that the Division will have grant oversight authority for the first time.
“Arizona first established the Department of Gaming in 1995 – and more than thirty years later, we remain excited about world-class regulation benefiting the entire state,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “I’m grateful to Governor Hobbs and leaders in the state legislature, particularly continuation bill sponsor State Senator Shawnna Bolick, who thoroughly reviewed our agency with a deep commitment to public service, and I am pleased that the Department secured its continuation, which will allow us to strengthen our focus points in robust consumer protection and integrity.”
“The new state budget will strengthen longstanding investments in problem gambling assistance made possible through partnerships with Arizona’s Tribal Nations and the Arizona Lottery,” said Elise Mikkelsen. “We continue to see strong demand from individuals and families seeking information, resources, and treatment for gambling-related harm. This increased funding will help us expand the continuum of care and ensure more Arizonans have access to effective, inclusive, and timely support.”
