McDonagh, who has 18 years’ experience in the online gambling industry, joins Wizard Games® from Green Jade Group, the game development company he co-founded five years ago and at which he was CEO.
Having held roles previously with Mr Green, PokerStars and Betfair, McDonagh links up with Wizard Games® as part of the management team headed by Pariplay®’s Managing Director, Adrian Bailey, as it continues to deliver the most value-driven iGaming experiences to operators.
McDonagh takes the helm at Wizard Games® at an important stage of the ambitious studio’s growth journey. As the latest senior hire, his appointment follows on from those of Simon Jagdhar as Director of Game Studio and Yoganand Aiyadurai as Director of Game Technology.
Adrian Bailey, Managing Director at Pariplay®, said: “Our studio division Wizard Games® continues to make great strides in regulated markets all over the world and this progress is down to the quality of people we are able to bring into the business. Benedict’s vast industry experience will provide great benefits for Wizard Games® and we believe he will be a superb addition to the team.”
Benedict McDonagh, Managing Director at Wizard Games®, said: “Wizard Games® has ambitions to make a major splash in regulated markets around the world and I’m delighted to get the chance to be a part of that story. I aim to use all the know-how I have accumulated in my career to take the studio to the next level, so that we can make a real impact with operators and players globally.”

Million Games launches Infinite X with progression-based crash gameplay
New instant game adds energy management and rebuy mechanics across 40 levels, letting players cash out or continue while keeping multiplier progress.
Million Games has launched Infinite X, a progression-based instant game, the studio said on 9 June 2026 in Skövde, Sweden. The release targets operators and aggregators via Million Games.
The game uses a continuous progression model rather than a single-event outcome. Players guide a character, Joe, up a staircase of 32 steps across 40 levels, with each step consuming energy and every 5th step restoring it.
Multiplier growth builds as players climb, with the option to cash out at any point. Players can also rebuy to continue from their current position while retaining both progress and multiplier, with rebuy costs scaling based on progression and potential reward.
“Infinite X represents a different way of thinking about instant games,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Million Games. “Instead of focusing on a single result, we’ve built an experience around progression, strategy, and player control. By combining multiplier growth, energy management, and rebuy decisions, Infinite X creates a gameplay loop that feels engaging from the first step to the last.”
Million Games said Infinite X includes energy-based progression, randomised power-ups, and an accelerating multiplier curve designed to reward players for pushing further.
