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.”

The 57th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) concluded its summer tournament schedule on July 15, 2026, after 51 days at Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas. WSOP said the series ran 100 live gold bracelet events and finished with a record 251,899 total entries and $469,975,059 paid out across gold bracelet events.

WSOP reported the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Championship (Main Event) attracted 9,208 entrants, with the final nine set to return to Las Vegas from August 3 to 5, 2026, to play down to a champion live on ESPN. “The 57th annual World Series of Poker proved that Las Vegas remains the undisputed epicenter of the poker universe,” said Ty Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of the WSOP. “What is truly remarkable this year is how our community expanded far beyond the physical walls of the casino floor… we are incredibly proud of this summer’s success and cannot wait to witness the Final Nine battle for the World Championship on ESPN next month.”

The operator also pointed to a redesigned final table arena and an expanded distribution footprint. It said Main Event coverage returned to ESPN and cited a multi-year agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery to distribute coverage across HBO Max, Eurosport, and TNT Sports globally. WSOP added that edited broadcasts will air from July 21.

On tournament metrics, WSOP said 35,157 places were paid and 41 prizes of $1m+ were awarded.

iPredicta launches US prediction markets price comparison site

ipredicta-launches-us-prediction-markets-price-comparison-site

iPredicta has launched a comparison platform for US prediction markets, aimed at bringing live prices from multiple venues into a single interface, including Polymarket. The company announced the launch from London.

iPredicta operates an affiliate model, letting users compare prices on its site before continuing to a participating exchange to register and trade. At launch, the company said it tracks dozens of live markets across two venues, with data updating automatically as markets move.

The platform includes market scoring and notifications designed to help users monitor price differences, liquidity and market movements. It also offers plain-English guides for newcomers and an “AI explanation layer” that summarizes a market’s question, resolution criteria and what the current price implies. iPredicta said the AI “produces the words, not the numbers” and “does not set scores, predict outcomes or give trading advice.”

“Prediction markets have grown rapidly over the past 12 months, yet the information people need is still scattered across different exchanges,” said Charlotte Nimmo, founder of iPredicta. “We launched iPredicta because people should not have to piece everything together across several exchanges just to understand what is happening.

“Whether you are well versed in prediction markets or trying them for the first time, iPredicta brings prices and comparisons together in one place, making it easier to follow how markets are changing. It also gives newcomers a clearer way into a category that can look complicated from the outside.”

The launch comes as prediction markets expand across categories including sport, politics, entertainment, crypto and climate. iPredicta cited CertiK’s 2026 Skynet Prediction Markets Report, which said global prediction market trading volume rose from $15.8 billion in 2024 to $63.5 billion in 2025. Nimmo previously ran affiliate betting platform Best of Bets and founded Cavalier Public Relations, according to the company.
