Lightning Box, one of Light & Wonder’s in-house studios, has added a prequel to the hit game Chicken Fox, with the release of Chicken Fox Jr. This 20 payline slot will feature upgrading symbols via its innovative Fox Junior Bonus and a Free Spins Round. These mechanics are packed into a colourful title that builds upon the original’s winning formula. It will initially be made available in the UK and Europe followed by a two week North America exclusive with BetMGM in the coming months.

Should the reels expand to the maximum of seven symbols a series of Wild Re-spins are triggered in which Stacked Wilds come into play.

Pragmatic Play, has journeyed back to the oases of Ancient Egypt where cats rule the reels in latest hit, Cleocatra™. The 5×4, 40 payline slot sees a fan-favourite theme combined with cute cats that run the temple, while a paw-imprinted pyramid acts as a wild.

PrizePicks announced it has been Certified by Great Place To Work for the first time — a prestigious recognition based on employee feedback about their experience working at the company.

The Michigan Gaming Control Board has issued cease-and-desist orders to five illegal online gambling operators—BoVegas Casino, BUSR, Cherry Gold Casino, Lucky Legends and Wager Attack Casino—after discovering they were targeting Michigan residents without proper licenses. These operators are violating Michigan’s Lawful Internet Gaming Act, the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, and the Michigan Penal Code. The MGCB’s investigations found that these sites have been accepting wagers and deposits from Michigan residents on sports events, slots, blackjack and other casino games—all without the oversight and safeguards required by law. Players using these platforms face unreliable payouts, unfair gaming practices and have no legal recourse in case of disputes.

ZOOT, a sweepstakes gaming platform bringing video game sensibilities to iGaming entertainment, announced it has raised $6 million in seed funding led by CoinFund, one of the world’s first cryptonative investment firms, with participation from Griffin Gaming Partners to expand the current US-focused business to a global-facing, stablecoin-driven one. The investment further grows the opportunities for instant, borderless payments in digital entertainment as stablecoin adoption surges past $239 billion in circulation, with payment giants like Visa and PayPal racing to integrate crypto rails for faster, cheaper transactions. ZOOT is building an iGaming platform that pioneers a new approach to iGaming that combines the engagement of video games with the efficiency of blockchain-based payments.

Industry-first: Dynamic, ‘Live Data’ feature in ads drives up to 20% growth in first-time depositors for iGaming customers

industry-first:-dynamic,-‘live-data’-feature-in-ads-drives-up-to-20%-growth-in-first-time-depositors-for-igaming-customers

Creatopy’s new Live Data feature connects creative assets to real-time data streams, enabling brands to deliver ads that update automatically based on live variables such as odds, pricing, availability or performance metrics
iGaming customers experience up to a 20% uplift in first-time depositors in the first 3 months of their campaign
Superbet is the latest company to adopt this new feature
Initial Live Data release also popular among travel, finance, retail and entertainment sectors
This news also follows a series of senior leadership appointments, including: Maikao Grare (CFO), Thibault Imbert (Chief Product & Growth Officer) and Ovidiu Gavril (CTO)

AI-powered ad campaign platform Creatopy has launched Live Data, a new feature that connects creative assets to real-time data streams.

An industry-first solution, it has already demonstrated significant results for the iGaming industry with an increase of up to 20% in first-time depositors observed over a 3-month period.

Live Data enables brands to deliver dynamic online ads that automatically update based on live variables such as odds, pricing, availability or performance metrics. There is no need for manual intervention. Once a design template has been created, the published ad can be updated automatically based on the parameters set. For iGaming companies, this can be a specific game or an entire competition; the tool can also dynamically display stocks and casino games based on current trends and performance.

The new solution offers several key advantages for advertisers, including:

Personalisation: allowing for ad delivery that precisely aligns with real-time audience interests, shifting market conditions or changes in available inventory.
Real-time performance: displaying up-to-the-minute prices, availability or exclusive offers, which in turn create a sense of urgency and significantly boost conversion rates.
Transparent metrics: showcasing verifiable, live information directly within the ad creative – this fosters greater trust and authenticity with consumers.

Superbet, an international gambling company, has become the latest to adopt Creatopy’s tech.

While the initial release focuses on the iGaming and gambling industry, Live Data offers a wide range of applications across various sectors, including Travel with live pricing for flights and hotels; finance with real-time stock movements or FX rates; and entertainment with live streaming stats and event availability.

Tammy Nam, CEO at Creatopy, said: “With Live Data, we’re making ads truly real-time. While static ads have their benefits, they can’t capture live market changes. Live Data changes that. By displaying real-time updates, marketers can expand the lifespan of their campaigns, ensuring that as circumstances change, the ads reflect the most current data and messaging. This isn’t about personalization someday but about delivering the right message, informed by the latest data, at the exact moment that matters most. This continued relevance is a key driver behind the 20% increase in first-time deposits that we’re witnessing with our iGaming customers.”

The launch follows a series of appointments to the company’s senior executive team, including Maikao Grare as the new Chief Financial Officer, Thibault Imbert as Chief Product and Growth Officer, and Ovidiu Gavril as Chief Technology Officer.

With over 15 years of experience in product management and growth at leading technology companies including Picsart, Adobe and GitHub, Imbert is responsible for overseeing product strategy, development and execution, as well as leading the company’s growth initiatives to expand its market reach and impact.

Grare brings over 20 years of experience scaling high-growth startups and is helping to accelerate the company’s momentum, shape long-term strategy, and support international expansion. Most recently, Grare served as Vice President of FP&A and Strategic Finance at MasterClass, and SVP of Finance at Picsart before that. Grare has also held top finance roles at Bolt Threads, Rdio and Skype.

Gavril brings a wealth of tech leadership experience from prominent tech companies, including Raft, Picsart, Trilogy, Jive Software, Crossover for Work, Optivia and Wave Motion Labs. Gavril’s appointment signals Creatopy’s strong commitment to accelerating its technological advancements with AI at its center. As CTO, Gavril will lead the company’s engineering and technology strategy, drive innovation, and expand the platform’s capabilities to further empower marketers with sophisticated AI-driven tools.
