NeoGames S.A (Nasdaq: NGMS) subsidiary Pariplay, the leading aggregator and content provider, has released Drop the Wilds, the first game produced by Ignite partner Spinberry, exclusively through its Fusion™ platform.

The debut online release from Spinberry, which boasts a proud history of land-based success in the UK and other markets, combines the world of bagatelle, pinball and slots to entertaining effect.

Packed with compelling features, the slot has a special Drop the Wilds feature whereby a Free Spins symbol that lands in view has a chance of activating the delivery mechanic. When the arrow lands in the green, the ball transitions around and down the table before landing on a specific number that represents a number of Wilds. Wilds randomly then transfer to the reels, wins are paid and then wilds lock in place for a free re-spin.

The game also has a Free Spins mode, with five awarded when three Free Spins symbols appear and the Drop the Wilds feature becomes active on each of those spins, meaning 10 spins of the reels in total. The game offers a Buy Feature tool that is available to players in certain markets.

A Bet Chance feature is also incorporated, which is activated when a player’s credit becomes less than the last spin stake amount.

Drop the Wilds is the first of six new games planned for release this year by Spinberry, who joined the Ignite programme earlier this year in order to create its content via Pariplay’s flexible turnkey development framework and distribute its games globally through the Fusion™ aggregation platform. The studio also has access to Pariplay’s suite of engagement tools that offer the opportunity to significantly enhance game performance.

Spinberry’s mission is to utilise its vast knowledge of the land-based sector to introduce a mix of proven concepts and innovation to online players, including immersive mechanics, constant base game engagement, and features such as Bet Chance and Feature Play Mode.

Ignite supports any coding language and allows for games to be built much quicker and with substantially lower costs, empowering game developers to reach global markets.

Callum Harris, Director of Partnerships at Pariplay, said: “Having welcomed Spinberry to the Ignite programme, we have seen first-hand how they operate and it’s no surprise to us that they have experienced such success in the land-based sector.

“To be able to exclusively launch their first-ever online slot – one of such high quality as Drop the Wilds – is a privilege. It’s a delight to be able to give studios like Spinberry a proven path to market and to support their continuing growth.”

Bill Zycinsky, Spinberry’s founder, said: “I am both thrilled and thankful to have our first online game launched and so well received. Pariplay has been a great partner and their support has been outstanding.

“With its bagatelle and classic pinball theme, Drop the Wilds has made a very strong impression with players. I have personally seen their excitement discovering all the action-packed features.

“My biggest thanks, however, go to all the people in our company. Without their hard word and dedication, Drop the Wilds would not have been the success it is.”

The Playa strategic advisor will publish on VIP operations, segmentation and retention, starting with an anonymous VIP Operations Survey 2026.

Gamblers Connect has confirmed Gali Hartuv, Strategic Advisor at The Playa, as the seventh voice to join its 2026 Contributors Program.

The independent B2B iGaming media platform said the programme will reveal one senior industry voice per month throughout 2026, with contributors publishing under the Gamblers Connect Contributor Editorial Code.

Gamblers Connect said Hartuv has more than 15 years’ experience in VIP management, including designing and optimising VIP programmes across more than 50 operator brands, and training “hundreds of professionals” now working in VIP roles across the industry.

Hartuv will publish across four areas: building VIP programmes that drive long-term value; AI-powered VIP identification and player segmentation; hyper-personalisation and retention strategy; and scaling VIP operations across different markets and cultures. His first contribution is a VIP Operations Survey 2026, an anonymous survey intended to benchmark how VIP teams work across iGaming operators, including portfolio sizing, tools, qualification thresholds, workflow standards and where time is spent during the week.

Partnerships and Operations Lead, Luka Dimitrijevic, said: “VIP management is where a great deal of an operator’s value is won or lost, and very few people can speak to it with Gali’s depth. He has spent his career turning high value player relationships into a discipline rather than guesswork, and he is refreshingly candid about what works and what does not. Through the Contributors Program he will share practical insight on VIP strategy, retention, and the smart use of AI, with content grounded in real results rather than recycled best practices.”

St8 has extended its partnership with TonyBet into Alberta, expanding their Canada footprint following an earlier launch in Ontario this year.

Under the expanded agreement, TonyBet will use St8’s game aggregation platform through a single API integration. St8 said this provides access to its wider catalogue of casino content for players in Alberta.

St8 said the Alberta rollout follows its newly acquired registration to operate in the province as an iGaming Services Supplier, allowing it to provide aggregation services to licensed operators in the market. The company said its platform connects partners to more than 200 game providers via a single API.

David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said:

“Entering Alberta’s regulated market is a strong step for St8 that represents our continued efforts to bring our offerings to as many territories as possible, delivering top-tier results for partnerships at the local, national and international stage. We share this commitment with TonyBet, a company that we are very fortunate to be working with so collaboratively and closely as we continue to grow our presence across North America.”

Kiryl Liudvikevich, Head of Product at TonyBet, said:

“We’re proud that our work with St8 has enabled us to continue expanding across Canada. Through St8’s aggregation platform, we can seamlessly access games from the industry’s leading providers via a single integration, helping us scale efficiently while maintaining a strong focus on the player experience. St8 has cemented itself as our go-to partner for expansion into regulated markets, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration as we grow into new jurisdictions.”

Casino game aggregation platform and full-service technology provider St8 has extended its ongoing partnership with TonyBet into Alberta, furthering both companies’ expansion into Canada.

As part of the extended agreement, Tonybet will benefit from St8’s next-generation platform via a single API integration, unlocking seamless access to a wide portfolio of games from the industry’s leading providers and enhancing its casino offering for players in Alberta.

The move is the latest in St8’s successful relationship with TonyBet, having previously launched in Ontario earlier this year in a bid to continually grow in regulated markets worldwide.

This expansion was made possible thanks to St8’s newly acquired registration to operate in Alberta as an iGaming Services Supplier, enabling St8 to provide its next-generation game aggregation services to licensed operators in the region, giving partners access to more than 200 premium game providers through a single API integration.

Featuring over 3,000 games from more than 60 providers, TonyBet, meanwhile, has gone from strength to strength in its 17-year history, establishing itself as one of the industry’s leading game studios by delivering engaging titles that combine player appeal with premium gameplay.

Holding licenses in 10 different jurisdictions including Spain, the Netherlands, the UK, Ireland and Estonia, among others, Tonybet’s partnership with St8 has seen them now launch in two separate territories in Canada, with both companies working collaboratively to explore the opportunities available in exciting new markets. This latest agreement reinforces St8’s strategy of expanding its premium content portfolio while helping operators simplify integration, accelerate market entry, and deliver engaging gaming experiences across multiple regulated jurisdictions.

Speaking on the expansion, David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said: “Entering Alberta’s regulated market is a strong step for St8 that represents our continued efforts to bring our offerings to as many territories as possible, delivering top-tier results for partnerships at the local, national and international stage.
