Bettors using Italy’s leading sportsbook, Lottomatica (through its brands Goldbet and Better) will be the first in the world to access Stats Perform’s new live streaming features for tennis, Instant Highlights and Smart Stats Overlays™.

Stats Perform announced earlier this year that tennis is the latest sport with their award-winning new video features for bettors, following football.

Goldbet and Better also become the first operator in Italy to offer Stats Perform’s new Smart Stats Overlays™ feature for live video of football matches, alongside the popular Instant Highlights functionality for the sport.

Stats Perform’s award-winning Instant Highlights enables bettors to re-watch key match events like goals, shots on target, red cards and more while a match is in play, so bettors never miss a moment from Stats Perform’s live streaming competitions like LaLiga, Ligue 1, Brazil Serie A, plus WTA and Australian Open tennis and more.

Smart Stats Overlays™ provides Goldbet and Better bettors with real-time Opta betting stats on-screen, including expected goals, live win probability, player and team shots, fouls, corners and more, displayed seamlessly over the top of Stats Perform’s football and tennis live streams.

Both Instant Highlights and Smart Stats Overlays™ are available through Stats Perform’s plug-and-play Content Player Pro, or an easy-to-use API for custom product development.

Paolo Manzo, Sportsbook Director Betting & Digital Italy Lottomatica, said: “The next generation of live streaming has arrived on the goldbet.it and better.it sportsbook. We focus relentlessly on enhancing the customer experience and Instant Highlights and Smart Stats Overlays™ from Stats Perform are powerful tools helping us make every live sports stream more entertaining and more valuable for our customers.

“We’re proud to be the first sportsbook in the world to offer highlights and overlays for tennis live streams – a really important sport for our customers.”

Andrew Ashenden, Stats Perform’s Chief Betting Officer, said “The growth in bettor entertainment and user retention from Instant Highlights and Smart Stats Overlays™ is what the sports betting industry has long needed from the live streaming experience. We are proud to share a joint vision with Lottomatica on the role these features have on making sports betting more entertaining.

Director of Betting, Southern Europe at Stats Perform, Vincenzo Zeppillo, said, “We’re delighted to help Lottomatica be the first to bring such a high level of sports entertainment to their tennis customers and confident Instant Highlights and Smart Stats Overlays™ will be a huge success, as they are for football.”

Stats Perform’s action-packed Bet LiveStreams portfolio includes Spain’s LaLiga, Italy’s Serie A, France’s Ligue 1 and over 60 other football competitions. Tennis live streaming coverage includes the WTA, Wimbledon and the Australian Open. Bet LiveStreams also provides premium round-the-clock live streams for top-tier basketball, cricket, ice hockey, darts and more. Its innovative new Bet LiveStreams features, Instant Highlights and Smart Stats Overlays™ enable licensed sportsbooks to make live video streams even more relevant, accessible and entertaining for their bettors.

ELA Games releases Spirit of Savanna slot with player-choice bonus

The new 5×3, 10-payline title features Hold and Win or Free Spins selection and three jackpot tiers.

ELA Games has released Spirit of Savanna, a new online slot that introduces a player-choice bonus mechanic alongside Hold and Win, Free Spins, and three jackpot tiers.

Spirit of Savanna runs on a 5×3 reel grid with 10 paylines and is rated volatility 4 out of 5, according to the supplier. RTP is listed across two ranges: 93.98-94.16% and 96.01-96.12%.

The main differentiator is how a Wild symbol contributes to a winning combination. Instead of triggering a fixed feature, the game prompts players to choose between seven Free Spins or a Hold and Win bonus.

Both bonus paths include a Repeat Win feature that carries the value of the triggering win into each spin of the bonus round. The Free Spins feature can also retrigger using the same Wild-combination logic. The game includes three jackpot tiers, with the Grand Jackpot available either by landing two Antelopes or by filling an entire row with coins during Hold and Win.

Games Global has released Candy Combo 2 Power Combo™, developed with exclusive studio partner Slingshot Studios. The new slot follows the original Candy Combo Power Combo™ and expands the title’s Link&Win™ gameplay and Power Combo™ mechanics.

The 5×3, 20-payline game is set in a pastel candy theme and uses five “candy jar” characters above the reels to collect matching symbols and trigger Link&Win™ modifiers. The Power Combo™ flow activates a Link&Win™ bonus played on a 5×4 grid, where cash coins remain in place as new symbols land.

Returning mechanics include Connector symbols with multipliers of up to 10x for completed rows, Collector symbols that gather visible cash values, and Jackpot symbols that award fixed prizes when four matching symbols are collected.

New features include Adder, which adds values to all other landed symbols, and Extender, which unlocks a second independent reel set to extend the Link&Win™ round. Games Global said up to five features can be active within a single Link&Win™ round, culminating in Super Power Combo™, where all features are active at once. The game also includes Hot Mode™, which adds extra feature symbols to the reels, and Upsizer™, which offers an option to enhance the Link&Win™ feature at a cost before the bonus begins.

Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Candy Combo 2 Power Combo™ builds on its predecessor – one of our most successful titles – by expanding how features interact within the Link&Win™ format.

“The addition of new jars and the ability to combine multiple mechanics introduces more variation across each round, while staying true to the core gameplay players recognise.”

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “Slingshot Studios has done a brilliantly at evolving a well-established concept by adding depth and flexibility to its feature set.

“The result is a bright, engaging title that enhances a proven mechanic while offering players more ways to experience its core gameplay.”
