XGENIA, the creator-first AI platform revolutionising game development, and Primero Games, a leader in retail and online gaming solutions, today announced a landmark collaboration that brings to life Primero’s first AI-generated slot game: Blackbeard Bounty. Developed entirely using the XGENIA platform, the game will debut — fully playable — at ICE Barcelona 2026, showcased at Stand 2Y22, where XGENIA is co-exhibiting alongside Storm Games, a UK-based studio acquired by Primero in 2022.

This partnership marks a significant milestone in Primero Games’ strategy to expand aggressively into the digital iGaming market by leveraging cutting-edge tools that reduce development cycles and maximize creative output.

“With XGENIA, we didn’t just speed up development — we completely reimagined the process,” said Barry Rutherford, CEO of Primero Games. “Our new AI-built slot is more than a game — it’s a statement about how we’re blending tradition with technology to lead the next wave of interactive content. ICE Barcelona is the perfect stage to launch it.”

XGENIA’s AI-native platform allows studios like Storm Games and operators like Primero to build production-ready slot games using drag-and-drop workflowsAI-generated logic, and instant deployment tools — all without traditional coding.

“We built XGENIA for creators who move fast,” said Mark Flores Martin, CEO of XGENIA. “Primero Games immediately understood the vision. Their team saw that with AI-first tools, they could go from concept to playable slot in days — not months. That kind of alignment is exactly why this partnership works.”

Building on the 2022 acquisition of Storm Games — a move that brought UK development expertise and creative IP into Primero’s portfolio — this collaboration uses XGENIA’s latest features to bring Blackbeard Bounty to life, complete with AI-driven animation, compliance-ready maths, and backend logic.

Vegangster Becomes First iGaming Platform to Support AI Agent Integration via MCP

Published

on

vegangster-becomes-first-igaming-platform-to-support-ai-agent-integration-via-mcp

Vegangster has become the first iGaming platform to integrate the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI agents to interact directly with platform systems in real time.

MCP is an open protocol that gives AI agents a structured way to communicate with software environments, allowing them to understand context, retrieve data, and perform actions on the user’s behalf. Instead of building separate integrations for each use case, MCP standardises how AI agents interact with platform systems, making integrations faster to deploy and easier to scale.

For player support, this means agents can resolve common queries, including deposit status, bonus conditions, and account issues. Instead of routing tickets or escalating requests, agents retrieve live data and resolve queries instantly within a single interaction.

On the operator side, tasks that previously required navigating multiple interface sections or exporting reports can now be handled through plain-language prompts: filtering player lists, reviewing performance figures, adjusting configurations. The practical effect is a shorter onboarding curve and faster execution of day-to-day tasks.

Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, sees this as foundational rather than incremental:

“AI agents interacting with the platform mark a fundamental shift. What we are seeing now are just the most obvious use cases. The real value of MCP is in its flexibility. This opens the door to entirely new ways of operating and building on top of the platform. We are proud to be the first to bring this to iGaming.”

The integration is currently in beta with selected operators, with wider availability planned soon. Early adopters can already move beyond traditional interfaces and begin operating the platform through AI agents.

The Playa for Slotegrator: why personalized player experiences are the future of growth

Published

on

the-playa-for-slotegrator:-why-personalized-player-experiences-are-the-future-of-growth

As player expectations rise, generic casino lobbies are no longer enough — AI-driven personalization is becoming essential to engage, retain, and grow audiences.

In this evolving landscape, The Playa is positioning itself at the forefront of iGaming personalization. Slotegrator spoke with Viktoriia Grygorenko, CEO, about the company’s journey, emerging industry trends, and how data-driven experiences can boost revenue by up to 25%, and often beyond.

Founded at the intersection of artificial intelligence and iGaming, The Playa started as a small experimental project and quickly grew into a full-scale platform. Today, the company delivers solutions across the entire player lifecycle — from lobby personalization and acquisition intelligence to VIP insights and retention optimization — serving operators with a monthly GGR of over $10 million.

According to Viktoriia, the industry has long underutilized one of its most valuable assets: player data. “iGaming generates enormous amounts of behavioral data — from game preferences to betting patterns — but most operators still rely on basic segmentation,” she explains. “That’s a missed opportunity.”

The gap is even more obvious compared to global entertainment platforms competing for audience attention. As Viktoriia points out, top companies invest billions in learning what their users want and delivering it instantly, while many online casinos offer identical experiences to all players. However, the industry is beginning to catch up.

Internal research by The Playa shows that 77% of iGaming companies leaders believe AI will be a key competitive advantage within the next two to three years. At the same time, major operators are rapidly expanding their data science capabilities — a clear signal of where the market is heading.

Beyond technology, player behavior itself is evolving. A new generation of users is entering the market, bringing different expectations around user experience. Behavioral data can reveal differences in preferences and risk patterns — opening the door to more effective personalization strategies.

Looking ahead to 2026, Viktoriia highlights three major trends shaping the industry: a stronger focus on retention, the rise of true one-to-one personalization, and a redefinition of loyalty. Retention, in particular, is becoming critical as rising acquisition costs and tighter regulations put pressure on margins.

Read the full interview to discover how The Playa is transforming player experiences with AI-driven personalization and why growth in iGaming depends on understanding players at every step of their journey.
