Game studio to work with sound and audio design specialist to produce high-quality soundtracks to bring its narrative-driven slots to life

Blue Guru Games, the developer of history and mythology-themed casino games, has embraced sound and audio design specialist, ReelTrax, in a partnership that will turn up the volume on the studio’s latest slot releases.

ReelTrax creates original broadcast-quality audio and sound design, tailor-made for slot game narratives, and will work closely with the Blue Guru team to produce music and sound effects that compliment game mechanics and bring themes to life.

This will ensure that Blue Guru slots deliver the highest levels of sound quality which in turn will ensure they provide an engaging and authentic experience for players.

The Blue Guru Games ethos is to create online casino games that allow players to be gently entertained with amazing slots created by a value-driven studio that truly cares about social and well-being issues.

The first slots to leave the studio’s Zen-like production line include Nemean Lion and Octopus Armada.

Andrew Braithwaite, CEO at Blue Guru Games, said: “It’s very important to us that our in-game audio is as professional and polished as possible.

“We have a real passion for music as a team and our games are story-driven so it was really important for us to find a partner that really gets audio. Until we found ReelTrax we thought we might have to make some compromises but it was instantly apparent that they understood what we wanted.

“We have a great collaborative process with ReelTrax and they are in turn fully committed to the Blue Guru ethos. Whenever we use traditional sounds or music in a game for example, ReelTrax ensures that the instruments used are authentic to the location and time period in which the game is set, which shows phenomenal attention to detail and really adds a lot to the overall player experience.”

Nick Joyce, Operations Director at ReelTrax, added: “The game is literally changing, and players expect far higher production values and immersive gameplay than is currently available. That’s where ReelTrax comes in and we are thrilled to be working with Blue Guru Games who share our love for music and audio.

“This partnership allows us to work closely with the team to better realise their game concepts and to produce exciting and authentic music and sound effects which complement the game mechanics and really bring themes to life. This ultimately produces an enriched, more engaging gaming experience. It’s also great fun to work on these together”

Study of 1,752 Big 5 league matches finds a 12-point uptime gap; live World Cup leaderboard to run during the tournament.

Bettormetrics has launched what it calls the first World Cup Trading Performance Benchmark, ranking sportsbooks on in-play market uptime ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The sports odds intelligence firm said it will publish a live World Cup leaderboard on its website during the tournament to track trading performance.

The benchmark measures operator uptime on the Total Goals market across 1,752 fixtures in the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1. Bettormetrics analysed 22 operators and published a Top 10, reporting a gap of more than 12 percentage points between the highest and lowest performers.

Tipico ranked first overall with 95.9% uptime, followed by Fanatics (95.3%) and Betsson (94.9%). Superbet (94.8%) and Betano (94.7%) rounded out the top five. Bettormetrics said Premier League fixtures generally delivered the highest availability across operators, while La Liga was “the key differentiator” and “consistently produced the lowest availability figures across the field.”

The results also highlighted regional shifts. Bettormetrics noted that none of bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes or Paddy Power made the Top 10, while Fanatics placed second overall as the highest-ranked US operator. It also flagged Pinnacle and SBOBET as ranking poorly on in-play availability in this analysis despite “strong reputations for pregame pricing and market depth.”

Sabin Brooks, CEO of Bettormetrics, said: “The World Cup represents one of the highest-risk and highest-opportunity periods in the sportsbook calendar. Small differences in uptime, trading performance and market availability can have a material impact on turnover, profitability and even reputation.

“The World Cup leaderboard will answer one simple question: which sportsbook performed best when it matters most?”
