Live Casino specialist set to promote latest swathe of innovations at top-tier exhibition

Leading live casino provider Vivo Gaming is set to promote its latest wares at ICE London, which the company’s Marketing Director Martin Hodges described as “the most important event in the igaming calendar.”

The company has developed an array of innovative live casino products over the past two years, which it will publicise at the show, including its CMS Lobby, Promotional Tournament Tool, Sicbo and Absolute Blackjack.

Vivo Gaming’s new CMS Lobby boasts a unique interactive lobby with a live thumbnail, allowing players to intuitively navigate the system. This unique live casino addition also allows for a fully interactive inter-player chat on both desktop and mobile in landscape and portrait modes.

The Promotional Tournament Tool engages customers with a plethora of amazing prizes, displaying boosters and the potential of big wins, all while letting them know in real-time when they are close to the top-spot of the leaderboard. Integrating features such as unlimited players, a countdown timer, player rankings and real-time communication, operators will be able to ensure customers enjoy every moment of their experience.

The unlimited player feature is the company’s absolute jackpot offering, which smashes traditional live casino conventions, that sees most rooms host just seven participants. On top of this, the developer’s high-end blackjack software guarantees full interaction between players and dealers.

Those attending ICE this year can expect to find out more about Vivo Gaming’s plans to take on the popular Chinese card game Sicbo. For further details, drop by Vivo Gaming’s stand N7-420 to find out more.

Martin Hodges, Marketing Director at Vivo Gaming said: “ICE London is far and away the most important event in the igaming calendar and we are delighted to be back to see familiar faces and make new acquaintances.

“The gaming sector thrived during the adversity of the pandemic – innovating its way to success. This led to some exciting new ideas, which will naturally come to the fore at ICE. We wouldn’t miss this year’s show for the world.”

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.”
