Gaming Corps debuts a golf-themed instant win game that puts players in full control of their swing

Gaming Corps – a publicly-listed game development company based in Sweden, is excited to announce the release of its latest casino title, Golf Champion – a golf-themed game packed with strategic thrills, immersive play, and Gaming Corps’ innovative X-MY-WAY™ mechanic.
Golf Champion invites players to hit the virtual fairway, where every shot could lead to serious rewards. Combining the finesse of golf with the high-stakes energy of casino gaming, the game delivers a fresh and dynamic experience tailored to suit every playing style. Whether players choose to chip it safe or drive it long, every swing offers a chance to win up to 1,000x their bet.
At the core of the experience is the X-MY-WAY™ mechanic, designed to put power directly in the player’s hands. This feature allows users to tailor their risk-and-reward strategy with complete freedom. With a range of bet options players can choose to play it safe, cashing out with smaller multipliers, or push their luck with riskier shots for the chance to land big wins, all the way up to a 1,000x multiplier.
Every shot is a deliberate decision, offering a level of interactivity and personalisation that sets Golf Champion apart from traditional instant win games.

Scotland-Founded AyeGaming Group Debuts as a Home for Industry Collaboration

A new grassroots digital community initiative, the AyeGaming Group, has been launched on LinkedIn with a clear purpose: to bring people across land-based and online gambling together in an honest, inclusive, and supportive space.
Founded in Scotland by respected industry figures, the AyeGaming Group is already drawing interest from across the iGaming world for its warm approach and people-first mission. The group welcomes professionals from all backgrounds, including operators, suppliers, affiliates, consultants, and creatives, all who believe in shaping a better future for the industry by putting the community at its heart.
The initiative is the brainchild of three passionate advocates for the gambling industry, including co-founders Jennifer Innes, CEO of BettingJobs, and Elaine Gardiner, Managing Director of TAG Media. Together, they’ve created a space where kindred spirits can connect for business and belonging.
“I wanted to be part of driving something locally within the iGaming industry. There truly are so many wonderful people in the sector who either live in Scotland or have relocated to one of the many other global iGaming hubs. Creating a dedicated time and space for us to connect in the form of the AyeGaming meet-up feels important – this is a big, global industry, but it can seem far less imposing when we all come together. It also gives us a chance to reflect on and recognise the impact our Scottish voices have across the iGaming industry as a whole.” said Jennifer Innes.
Elaine Gardiner added: “Jennifer and I have known each other for over 17 years, just as long as I’ve been in the industry. Back in January, we bumped into each other on a flight from Scotland to Barcelona, heading to ICE with a few other industry folks. That’s when we knew it was time to set the wheels in motion for a Scottish gaming meet-up. I’m excited it’s finally coming together and looking forward to meeting more people from across the industry.”
Built on a foundation of Scottish values of fairness, humour and humility, the AyeGaming Group offers something refreshingly human in an industry dominated by deal-making and fast growth.
The group’s first in-person event, the Wee AyeGaming Meet-Up, will occur on Thursday, June 19, at the National Piping Centre in Glasgow. The event promises informal networking, shared stories, and genuine connection in a setting rich with Scottish tradition.
Attendees can expect:
- Informal but meaningful conversations
- Insights from industry leaders across land-based and iGaming
- A warm, inclusive atmosphere to meet kindred spirits
- And, of course, a wee dram and the sound of the pipes
The AyeGaming Group is open to anyone who shares its values, whether based in Glasgow, Gibraltar, Buenos Aires, or elsewhere.
