Platform and aggregator Groove has announced that leading Asian games studio KA Gaming is now live with KA Gaming’s portfolio about to hit the magic 400 games landmark. KA Gaming have released six games this month, GO GO Magic Dog, Fantasy Dragons, Solomon’s Treasure, Dragon Boat2Lock 2 Spin, Bigfoot Yeti and Hunter Helibu, keeping to a frenetic games release schedule of over 10 games monthly.

KA Gaming is one of the largest games providers in Asia and has carved out an outstanding international reputation based on a highly diversified portfolio, beautiful thematics and immersive gameplay. Founded in 2014, KA Gaming has released a number of slots games for the land-based, online and mobile casino markets, as well as fish games, which are extremely popular globally. Currently KA Gaming has 18 fish games in the portfolio.

With a combined experience of over 30 years in slots games development, the team behind KA Gaming are well placed to expand the range with more unique titles along with others that provide familiar symbols, settings and features, such as Luck 88, Treasure Bowl, Bonus Mania, Golden Bull, Treasure Tiger, King of Dragon, Monkey Maniac, Fortune Ganesha, Fu Shenlong; innovative fish-shooting games like KA Fish Hunter, Golden Dragon, Fishing Expedition, Poseidon’s Secret, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, King Octopus and 1942, amongst others, that are one of the top gambling categories in Asia.

Fish shooting games are based on a devilishly simple but immersive play mechanic. A group of players shoot fish with currency cannons for rewards, the last shot claiming all the reward invested by players in that fish. The cannons are placed on various sides of the screen, and everyone shoots the same pool of fish. Players must decide which fish to shoot; it is much easier to kill a small fish for fewer rewards than a large fish for bigger rewards. Fish also float in and out of the screen, so players have to keep track of whether the fish has just entered the screen or is about to swim out.

KA Gaming’s portfolio supports well over 100 currencies, including many cryptocurrencies and with an average RTP of 96% KA Gaming’s slots are considered fair and attractive to players around the world and are in-demand with operators in many regions for their range of choice that embraces hundreds of slots, fish games, baccarat, super video poker and super keno.

Groove is an award-winning platform and aggregator powered by technology innovation providing operators with the ability to activate a range of features that enhance customer experience and engagement, improve retention, encourage extended play and produce a higher yield.

Groove’s ever-expanding collection of games from latest releases to time-worn classics is rapidly becoming one of the biggest content platforms and the company is adding to the portfolio at a rapid rate through partnerships like the one with KA Gaming which will see over 100 games added this year from the dynamic studio.

Groove has rapidly built a powerful operator cluster around its technology and is supported by one of the strongest technical teams in the industry as the game aggregator of choice for a cluster of more than 60 operators. 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.

Daniel Huang, CEO of KA Gaming, said: “Groove is an important distribution channel and we are pleased to reinforce their Asian content while gaining access through them to key European, African and South American markets. We’re interested to see how our fish games fare and anticipate that the thematics in our slots will give operators and players something different that is attuned to the fast-paced evolution of the market.”

Yahale Meltzer, COO at Groove said: “There’s no doubt that everyone in the industry will find something that they can align with and make money from in our game library, which has just had an injection of new content from KA Gaming. The Groove brand is synonymous with quickly seeing opportunities and we’re delighted to work with an enterprising game developer like KA Gaming who brings a lot to the table.”

Swedish gaming giant’s industry signals commitment to the UK regulated market by launching it leading portfolio of games with Ivy Casino

Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has today announced that its industry leading portfolio of games is now live with Ivy Casino in the UK.

Ivy Casino’s players in the United Kingdom can now access global smash hits from Play’n GO, including Book of Dead, Legacy of Dead, and Rise of Olympus 100 among many others.

Ivy Casino is a UK-facing online casino brand that launched in 2024 with a focus on delivering a premium, player-centric experience tailored specifically for the UK market.

The brand operates alongside two sister sites, Rose Casino and O’Reels, which also serve UK audiences and share the same commitment to high-quality entertainment, strong user experience and robust responsible gaming standards.

Play’n GO has been one of the leading game suppliers in the UK for many years and is steadfast in its commitment to regulated markets globally.

Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer of Play’n GO, said:

“We are delighted to launch with Ivy Casino in the UK who, like us, are focused on all the key elements of operating within a regulated market framework. I’m sure this is just the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership.”

Mark Good, representing Ivy Casino, said:

“This partnership with Play’n GO forms part of Ivy Casino’s ongoing strategy to enhance its content offering for UK players by collaborating with leading studios known for creative, engaging gameplay.”

Play’n GO is a proud sponsor of the Moneygram Haas Formula 1 team, and recently launched a fashion brand, Play’n GO Shop, to sit alongside its existing Play’n GO Music brand to give fans more ways to connect with Play’n GO.

In October, Play’n GO set a world record by launching everyone’s favourite slot character, Garga, into space reaching a height of over 35,500m as part of the launch campaign for Reactoonz 100 which instantly became one of the biggest game launches of the year for the company.

Esportes da Sorte, one of Brazil’s leading online betting platforms, will be the official sponsor of New Year’s Eve celebrations in four Brazilian capitals: Salvador, Recife, Natal and Maceió. The initiative reinforces the brand’s growing presence in the national cultural calendar and its strategy to connect with large-scale public celebrations beyond the digital environment.

New Year’s Eve is one of Brazil’s most significant annual moments, marked by intense domestic travel, international tourism and mass public participation. By supporting celebrations in four key destinations, Esportes da Sorte aligns its brand with tradition, culture and shared experiences that resonate deeply with local communities.

“Sponsoring New Year’s Eve celebrations in four capitals reflects our commitment to being present in moments that bring people together,” said Marcela Campos, Vice President of the Esportes Gaming Brasil Group, owner of the Esportes da Sorte brand. “Supporting these cities means valuing their cultural identity, strengthening local ecosystems and celebrating the people who keep these traditions alive year after year.”

Across all four capitals, the brand will activate its presence through immersive experiences, public-facing activations and the distribution of branded giveaways — a hallmark of Esportes da Sorte’s engagement strategy at major events. The activations are designed to enhance the festive atmosphere while reinforcing the brand’s connection with culture, entertainment and responsible enjoyment.

The New Year’s Eve sponsorships build on Esportes da Sorte’s broader cultural engagement strategy, which includes long-standing support for large-scale events such as Carnatal, in Rio Grande do Norte — a key fixture in the state’s tourism and cultural calendar. Together, these initiatives reflect the company’s commitment to expanding its footprint in cultural sponsorships nationwide.

Esportes da Sorte’s participation also mirrors a wider trend within Brazil’s regulated betting market, as operators increasingly diversify their sponsorship portfolios beyond football. Music, festivals and cultural celebrations have become strategic platforms for brands seeking broader visibility, deeper community ties and more sustainable engagement with the public.
