Platform and aggregator Groove is delighted to announce an extended collaboration with one of the most innovative companies to enter the slots space, RubyPlay.

RubyPlay is a leading developer of online slots serving over 600 casino brands and millions of unique players monthly.

RubyPlay’s suite of slots are established favourites among players in markets around the world with titles such as flagship, Mayan Cache, a 5×3 reel video slot that is packed with bonus features such as Free Spins, Super Free Spins and Jackpot Mania; Loco Habanero, Vegas No Limit Wins, Book of Riches Deluxe, Elephant Stampede, Zeus Rush Fever, Grand Express Action Class, New Year Rising, and Adventures of Li’l Red, amongst others. Upcoming releases include the much anticipated Golden Forge, and the highly touted Diamond Explosion 7’s.

RubyPlay has been very active in developing interesting mobile-rich features, such as the ‘shake-shake’ feature on Shake Shake Leprechaun, where players shake their phones to release coins and bonuses from a rainbow. These unique fun game features are combined with best-in-class maths, a team of talented game designers and some of the best slots art in the industry.

Groove’s powerful platform includes thousands of casino games as well as a wealth of aggregated content ranging from slots, sportsbook, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, that operators can access via easy integration to drive player engagement and revenue. This latest arrangement with RubyPlay adds to Groove’s rapidly growing portfolio.

Groove’s focus on innovation as a driving force for their business is well known across multiple stakeholder groups in the iGaming industry for a compelling twin-turbo online casino management system offering extended services to every operator who wants to offer casino games, sportsbooks, bingo and lotteries. It’s based on the GrooveHub, which offers API and instant access to leading suppliers in the iGaming industry and GrooveOn, an easy-to-use multifunctional back-office that powers performance.

Daniel Louie, Game Designer at RubyPlay said: “Our new ‘mobile-first approach to game design is playing out in titles such as Roman Legend which also has a novel game mechanic. The main character, a Roman Centurion, grows in size on-screen as the game progresses, occupying more and more of the screen, and visually underscoring the growing excitement of the player. This is a good example of how we as gamblers make games for other gamblers.”

Matthew Gera, RubyPlay’s Commercial Director said: “With Groove the numbers are good, the customer service team are fantastic, and the account management is very responsive, everything is delivered to a ‘T’. With Groove’s robust operator cluster and international reach, we are sure that our next generation of games will help enrich their platform while we get the reach and distribution network that they have patiently built over the years.”

Yahale Meltzer, COO at Groove said: “RubyPlay matches our ambition to bring high-quality products to the portfolio, strong performers that are fresh and packed with great features such as Jackpot Mania. RubyPlay has a release strategy that makes sense and we should be getting 17 new titles from them alone this year.”

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?”
