Could this be Rich Wilde’s biggest exploit yet?
Rich Wilde finds himself on another dynamic death-defying adventure in Play’n GO’s latest release, Rich Wilde and the Wandering City.
In Patagonian mythology, there is a tale of the Wandering City. A city supposedly hidden in the valley of the Andes between Chile and Argentina surrounded by mountains of diamonds and gold. Many explorers have endeavoured to find the Wandering City and claim its treasure, but none have been successful. Maybe Rich Wilde is up to the task?
This is where Play’n GO found the inspiration for the latest addition to their best-selling Rich Wilde series. Mountains of gold and diamonds provide the perfect motivation for this renowned explorer with the threat of mythical Patagonian giants to keep Wilde from his goal.
Players have clear goals and objectives that are cleverly entwined with the narrative; follow the Diamond Scatters to enter the city and find the gold.
Fans of the Wilde series will recognise features seen in previous games, but Play’n GO have gone one step further this time. Special Expanding symbols are merged with Dynamic Payways, which means that players have the potential to win on multiple payways.
Players may be used to seeing Rich Wilde in warmer climates like the realms of Ancient Egypt in Rich Wilde and the Book of the Dead or searching for the Pearls of India and we’ve even seen him explore Atlantis in Rich Wilde and the Shield of Athena. This time, The Wandering City takes Rich Wilde to the snowy mountains of Patagonia. This cooler setting is timed beautifully as half the globe prepares for winter.
Head of Games, Charlotte Miliziano said:
“It was only a matter of time before we visited Rich Wilde again. This is such a popular series and although there are a lot of similarities, we wanted to create an environment with winter themes which is why we see him exploring the mountains.
“We also wanted to find new ways to excite players without creating a game too different to the prequels; so merging Dynamic Payways with Special Expanding symbols was the perfect way to do this.”

CRM
Seen.io and Xtremepush link up to add personalised video to iGaming CRM flows
Seen.io and Xtremepush have partnered to let iGaming operators trigger AI-powered personalised videos directly inside Xtremepush CRM and player engagement journeys. The companies said the integration is designed to add one-to-one video personalisation at scale without additional technical overhead for teams already using Xtremepush.
Under the agreement, Xtremepush customers can activate Seen.io videos across lifecycle campaigns including onboarding, first-time deposit (FTD) conversion, reactivation, VIP recognition and loyalty. Xtremepush sends player data to Seen.io via webhook in real time; Seen.io then renders a personalised video and thumbnail for delivery through the operator’s chosen channel.
The partners pointed to a shared customer, Superbet, as validation. Superbet ran a two-month A/B test using a Day 1 post-registration personalised welcome video sent via email versus a standard email onboarding sequence. The companies reported a +2.2 percentage point uplift in FTD conversions, 86% higher Net Promoter Score (NPS) among recipients, and engagement lifts including a 37% email open rate versus 29% average and a 7% video click rate versus 2.3% average. They also said 61% of video viewers felt “very motivated” to place a first bet, compared with 48% in the control group.
“The uplift in positive sentiment and motivation is fueling longer player lifecycles and higher retention rates. Seen.io has redefined our engagement strategy, and personalized video is now a cornerstone of how we build loyalty. With personalized videos, we’re seeing players explore and engage more,” said Andrei Popa, VP Online, Superbet.
Xtremepush said the partnership sits within its XP Partners Programme.
“iGaming operators have invested heavily in their CRM infrastructure, but the content they’re sending through it too often looks the same as everyone else’s. Personalised video changes that. When Seen.io joined the XP Partners Programme, it was a natural fit – a proven, high-impact capability that slots straight into how our customers already work. The Superbet results speak for themselves, and we’re excited to bring this to operators across our network,” said Robbie Sexton, Director of Partnerships & iGaming, Xtremepush.
Seen.io’s Marius Tungesvik, Director of Global Partnerships, added: “Xtremepush has built one of the most sophisticated CRM platforms in iGaming. What excites me is what happens when you layer personalised video on top of that foundation at exactly the right moment. Superbet is the proof: a 2.2 percentage point FTD uplift and an NPS nearly double that of standard email. Those aren’t marginal gains. It’s a testament to what can happen when great CRM infrastructure and personalised video work together.”

Four Core Pillars Defining Riga 2026
The conference is structured around four key pillars shaping the future of regulated industries:
- Gaming Law & Player Protection – The leading theme: Enforcement, licensing, fraud prevention, and responsible gaming

- AI & Compliance – Automation, risk, taxation, and operational workflows
- Growth & Visibility – Market intelligence, affiliates, SEO, and AI-era discoverability

- Senior-level panels with regulators and industry leaders
- Practical, implementation-driven discussions
- Curated networking with decision-makers across gaming, fintech, and compliance
- A full-day experience culminating in a Golden Hour Mixer and evening social gathering at the Skyline Bar
Part of a Larger Baltic Vision
HIPTHER Baltics 2026 spans three key cities — Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn — each designed to address locally relevant challenges while contributing to a broader regional dialogue on regulation, innovation, and growth.
“This agenda was built for companies that understand growth today depends on getting compliance, technology, and player protection right at the same time. We’re bringing together decision-makers who want honest conversations, practical insights, and partnerships that actually move business forward“ said Zoltán Tűndik, Co-Founder & Head of Business at HIPTHER.
