Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, has partnered with Jelly for an epic Norse adventure, Valhalla Saga: Thunder of Thor.  Prepare for glory in this ultra-epic Viking series like no other!

Set against the backdrop of a barren land, Thunder of Thor boasts iconic artwork, from runic symbols to fearsome axes, longboats, and Vikings.

The first title in the Valhalla Saga trilogy features the legendary Thor in this 5×3, 20 payline video slot, and sees Jelly’s new PowerLinks features award money driven prizes in the Free Spins and will always guarantee a feature payout.

On any spin, the Thunder of Thor modifier can trigger to create Wild symbols with attached multipliers of x2, x5, x10, x50 or x100 to tantalise the potential for huge wins.  A bonus respin can trigger if the player has 4 scatter symbols in view; this will respin the remaining reels to give a second chance at landing the 5th scatter to get in to the Free Spins bonus.

Players can win up to 10,000x in the PowerLinks Free Spins round.  This feature is triggered by 5 or more scatters landing in view.  By triggering Free Spins, the player is awarded 5 free spins, with the triggering scatter symbols creating special reel zones.  If any additional scatter symbols land in the reel zones, the player can enjoy bigger prizes at the end of the Free Spins bonus.

Thunder of Thor is the second release from Jelly – hot on the heels of Savanna Roar – since joining the YG Masters program.

The game is developed through Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art GATI technology enabling partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to produce consistently cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Partner Programs at Yggdrasil said: “Our latest collaboration with Jelly offers an exciting and immersive experience, steeped in Norse mythology. With the Thunder of Thor modifier offering huge win potential and a lucrative free spins mode, there’s plenty to look out for in this thrilling hit.”

Victoria Newbolt, Marketing Lead at Jelly, said: “Through the YG Masters initiative we’re able to create bold, expressive games and deliver an electrifying experience.  Our latest game through the Masters program takes an iconic tale and we’ve added tonnes of fun on every spin.”

From Manila to Miami: Groove Brings Its Global Momentum to SBC Summit Americas 2026

Fresh from participating at SiGMA Asia, Groove is now setting its sights on the Americas. The award-winning platform and aggregator will touch down at SBC Summit Americas 2026, bringing a global strategy forged across three continents to the fast-growing markets of North and Latin America.

The event, running June 9–11 at the Broward County Convention Centre, will see Groove’s leadership team, including Co-Founder and CEO Yahale Meltzer and Business Development Director Giusy Campo, engage with operators, regulators, and affiliates from across the hemisphere. Their arrival in Fort Lauderdale is no mere conference stop. It is the next chapter in a year of deliberate, multi-continental expansion.

Groove enters Florida on the back of a transformative 2025. The company secured a license to operate in Brazil, established regulated activity in Argentina, and deepened its footprint across Europe, Africa, and Asia. Recent shortlistings validated a strategic pivot: from content provider to comprehensive growth engine. Now, the Americas beckon.

Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, who joined the company in 2025 to lead its charge into regulated markets, has been at the centre of this global push. She will be on the ground in Fort Lauderdale, continuing conversations that began at SiGMA Asia just days earlier: “When we move into a new region, we don’t arrive empty-handed,” said Campo. “We come with a platform built on structural resilience: predictive auto-scaling, atomic transactions, and a real-time compliance mesh that adapts to jurisdictional demands, not the other way around. Operators in the Americas face many of the same pressures as their counterparts in Asia: banking scrutiny, shifting regulations, and the need for flawless execution. Our ‘Unseen Architecture’ was built for exactly this moment.”

Campo will be meeting with operators seeking more than a game list. “They need a partner whose platform won’t introduce compliance or operational risk into their business,” she added. “That’s what we deliver. From Manila to Miami, the questions are the same. And we have the answers.”

Groove’s presence at SBC Summit Americas is the mirror image of its recent success at SiGMA Asia. In Manila, the company joined a high-stakes panel on regulatory resilience in the “Jurisdiction Jungle”. In Florida, the conversation shifts to the Americas, where the opportunities are vast, but the regulatory landscape is equally fragmented.

With over 15,000 games from more than 150 providers unified through a single API, Groove offers operators a powerful shortcut to market leadership.

SBC Summit Americas 2026 is expected to draw over 10,000 industry professionals and 400 exhibitors, covering regulation, product innovation, payment technology, cryptocurrency, AI, and cybersecurity. Groove will be positioned at the intersection of all of them, ready to show operators why the platform that just conquered Asia is now setting its sights on the Americas.

Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, framed the company’s back-to-back summit presence as a matter of strategic discipline: “We don’t do ‘one-off’ events. We build continuous relationships across the markets that matter,” said Meltzer. “Asia was about demonstrating structural resilience in the face of fragmentation. The Americas require the same rigour: a platform that can scale from a single operator in Argentina to a national lottery in Brazil without breaking compliance or trust. Our nomination in Manila wasn’t an endpoint. It was a signal. Now we take that signal to Fort Lauderdale, where the real work begins.”

Meltzer emphasised that Groove’s global footprint with offices in Israel, Georgia, and Malta, and a 24/7 multilingual support team, is the operational backbone of this expansion.

“When an operator in São Paulo has a question, they get an answer from someone who understands their market context, not just their technical issue,” he said. “That is the difference between a platform and a partner. We are here to be the latter, for the Americas and beyond.”

Score Queens launches with free-to-play World Cup predictor game Palace Picks

Published

Score Queens, a new female-first sports gaming community, has launched with Palace Picks, a free-to-play daily predictor game created for this summer’s World Cup.

Palace Picks runs throughout the tournament and asks players to answer five multiple-choice predictor questions plus one score prediction linked to that day’s matches. Players collect “Jewels” through participation, which the company says can be used to unlock raffle tickets for the headline prize.

The product has been developed in collaboration with Two-Up, a digital agency focused on sports, betting and gaming experiences. Score Queens said the partnership combines its brand positioning with Two-Up’s product, UX and digital delivery work.

The launch prize, sponsored by Vision4Sport, is a Monaco Grand Prix 2027 experience for one winner and a guest. The package includes Friday attendance with two grandstand passes, two superyacht party tickets in Port Hercule with food and drinks, and £1,500 towards flights and accommodation. Score Queens values the prize at over £5,000.

Kitty Miller, Founder of Score Queens, said: “Score Queens came from a very simple frustration. Women are already watching sport, talking about sport and being part of the big sporting moments, but so much of the betting and gaming world still feels like it wasn’t built with us in mind.

“Palace Picks is our first step in changing that. It is free to play, easy to join, and designed to bring more women into the sporting conversation through play, prediction, culture and community. We wanted to create something that feels fun, social and accessible, without dumbing anything down.”
