Boomerang Digital confirm key business win at ICE and set out Tier 1 credentials
Boomerang Digital’s dynamic start to the year continued at ICE where it announced a new partnership with London-based video virtuals and instant win games specialist Highlight Games Limited.
Following its December 2023 launch the streamlined entertainment brand created by Andrew Ludlow in partnership with the Finnish games developer Air Dice has purchased IHL Tech, announced a substantial long-term development and supply agreement with UK independent operator the Rudd Group and secured the partnership with Highlight Games.
Under the terms of the agreement Boomerang will use its market-leading technology stack and HG’s innovative game concept and extensive video archive portfolio to create a new ‘Lotto Goals’ numbers game and distribute it to a leading tier one UK retail operator in time for the UEFA Euro 2024 Championships this summer. Distribution will thereafter extend to Highlight and Boomerang’s respective UK and international customers in the gaming, betting and lottery sectors.
Lotto Goals requires the player to pick six football shirt numbers from a pool of 22 options. A series of goals from favourite players and teams featured in Highlight’s video archive then play out to reveal if the player’s chosen shirt numbers come in as winners.
Andrew Ludlow, co-founder and CEO Boomerang Digital, said: “We are thrilled to be working with the team at Highlight Games to facilitate the development and distribution of its exclusive content. The exceptionally innovative concept which marries numbers games and real football footage is something our customers have been crying out for. Together, Highlight and Boomerang will grow their respective UK and international customer bases across the world in this mutually beneficial agreement.”
Steven Holmes, CEO, Highlight Games added: “I’m delighted to be working with Boomerang Digital to deliver our award-winning content to the entire retail network of a tier one UK retail operator ahead of the UEFA Euro championships this summer. This partnership will enable our business to expand its distribution of content across the UK and internationally – it’s an exciting step in our growth as a video virtual sports and instant-win game supplier creating the cross over between lottery/numbers games and archive video footage.”
Reflecting on the brand’s participation in what was the last edition of ICE to be held in London prior to its January 2025 relocation to Barcelona Andrew Ludlow said: “To be at ICE as a part of the Air Dice stand has brought both businesses even closer together. The fusion of offline and online retail works exceptionally well, and ICE was the perfect platform to unite those two constituent parts.
“With a proven skill-set spanning compliance, membership, mobile, bulk SMS provision, handheld tablets, as well as bingo and numbers games Boomerang is genuine one-stop shop delivering compelling customer engagement solutions for the international land-based gaming and entertainment sectors.”
“There is a strong international flavour to our product portfolio and I believe that through our participation at ICE we have made a compelling case to be considered amongst Europe’s leading retail gaming and gambling entertainment solutions providers.”

Following ICE 2026 Triumph, ELA Games Officially Releases “Wealth of the East”
ELA Games is excited to announce the official B2B launch of Wealth of the East. The game, now accessible to partners, was initially introduced to the industry as the studio’s highlight during the three-day event in Barcelona, where it attracted the attention of numerous operators and aggregators because of its unique combination of slot mechanics and tabletop gaming.
The unique unveiling at ICE turned out to be a significant triumph, paving the way for the complete rollout. The ELA Games exhibit gathered industry representatives to engage with the game’s distinctive selling proposition: a twenty-sided Dice (D20) element that adds a tactile, physical sensation to digital slot gaming.
A Festivity of Wealth
The reels of Wealth of the East sparkle with the vibrant essence of an Eastern celebration. The gameplay is centered around the charming figure God Fu, a god of wealth serving as the Wild symbol in the game. He may arrive at any moment, and when he shows up, all Dice on the display spring to life, uncovering multipliers that enhance every coin visible or activate instant Jackpots. These empowered coins provide instant payouts, rewarding players as soon as they appear.
Sparking the Hold & Win Safe
The game showcases a visually impressive progression system crafted to uphold the festive theme and decorated with vibrant reds and golds. Every gathered coin also flies upward into the Golden Pot located above the reels, gradually enriching it with festive treasure that players can see and experience.
As the pot overflows, the screen bursts into red and gold as the Hold & Win game starts. Players receive 3 respins and a setup prepared to collect gold. In this intense feature, the elusive Imperial Lotus can appear, boosting multiple rewards simultaneously and elevating the entire round to new levels.
Game Stats:
● Reels: 5×3
● Lines: 10
● Max Win: x5,000
● Max Exposure: €250,000
● Buy Bonus: Yes
● Volatility: Mid
● RTP: 93.97% / 96.06%
Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director of ELA Games, commented: “Wealth of the East was the perfect title for us to showcase at ICE 2026. We took the classic t’Eastern Celebration’ theme and gave it a distinct twist with the God Fu character and his twenty-sided dice. It adds an original, tactile layer of excitement that players really respond to. The ‘Rising Pot’ visualizes the journey toward the bonus, keeping the excitement building spin after spin. We can’t wait for the industry to see the celebration in action.”
