This year’s ICE event has attracted more than 35,000 visitors in its first instalment after the resolution of the pandemic-related challenges. With the full stack of the most important exhibitors and partners attending, ICE London has shown that it is indeed one of the most important gaming and gambling events in the world.

Spintec stand at this year’s ICE London gaming event has received an unprecedented amount of attention throughout the three-day event. This is not surprising, as they have shown some of their best and most interesting product upgrades, new hardware, and some new game features that they have developed in the time since they last exhibited at this event.

One of the most exciting novelties shown at the event is the option of connecting games at different casinos into one seamless gaming experience. Spintec’s Remote Gaming solution allows casino groups to combine live and automated games at different locations, making them available to players across different venues. This can radically reduce the number of dealers and other staff required and optimise the number of playing stations across their venues, while giving the players the unique experience of a live or automated game of Roulette, SicBo and Craps.

Their most popular innovation at the event was the upgraded stand-alone automated roulette centre. In its latest edition it boasts attractive new design upgrades, like a flat glass cover with RGB illumination. The wheel now also comes in a super durable light grey Kerrock version with black chrome accents. All these design features are discretely emphasised by integrated LED lighting that follows the circumference of the wheel.

Their Karma automated gaming solution, which can feature a host of different games, can now be upgraded with an attractive two-sided topper which also comes with an interactive LED sign at the very top. This setup can show live statistics and animated promotional content and is certain to attract players from across the casino.

For the casinos that wish to integrate a live card game into their electronic play station portfolio, Spintec now offers a dealer-friendly table with motorised height adjustment and incorporating an additional dealer monitor for an even better overview of the game.

At this year’s ICE Spintec have also premiered a wide range of game upgrades. Their Roulette now features payout-multiplying side games like Crown Roulette or Hotspot Roulette with adjustable payout multipliers of up to 900-times the original bet. However, if the players wish to increase the odds of winning, they can bet on a super exciting Multilevel progressive Jackpot. A similar option is also available for SicBo players with the Dragons progressive Jackpot. Spintec’s new Baccarat, on the other hand, now boasts a super exciting squeeze feature, which adds drama to an already very interesting game. It can be customised to squeeze the cards from the top or from the side, increase or decrease the reveal speed, or even accelerate the game to fast or super-fast.

For the most demanding casinos, Spintec have also developed solutions for the delivery of tournaments with their SicBo, Roulette and Baccarat installations. A first-person experience of this installation was offered to the ICE 2023 visitors at the Spintec stand and the popularity of the event has shown that the operators are showing increasing interest in this type of game delivery.

As a special treat, Spintec have also introduced a new game for the Dutch market only, called Wheel of Diamonds. The game has a fully automated delivery with stunning animation and exciting wins of up to 1.600 €.

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus

DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.

The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.

If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.

Google-style campus for game development talents

The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.

It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.

“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.

 

What does this mean for the market?

Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.

If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.

And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.

The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.

PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.

The deal also includes PENN’s retail sportsbook operations (32 retail sportsbooks at its casino properties, including 19 under the ESPN BET brand).

Last fall, FanDuel and MLBPI reached a similar licensing agreement after the MLB players’ union sued FanDuel and Underdog Fantasy in New York Supreme Court, accusing them of using the names and likeness of ballplayers on their players without permission.

”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.

OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.

“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
