SM Caen to leverage Stats Perform Sports AI solutions for a competitive edge
Stats Perform, the global sports tech leader in data and AI, continues to dominate the sports AI industry as another team chooses Stats Perform’s advanced technology to drive their competitive strategy. SM Caen Ligue 2 will invest in a multifaceted AI-powered approach to strategy, recruitment, and athlete performance.
The club’s investment in this pioneering technology is being driven by Caen President, Olivier Pickeu, which will see Caen’s scouting operation utilise Stats Perform’s Edge Recruitment platform, in parallel to its sister solution, Edge Analysis, which will be used by performance analysts to enhance its weekly match preparation. Both platforms apply multiple Qwinn-powered AI models to unlock objective, dynamic and predictive insights to enhance key processes.
After making the decision to incorporate five major Stats Perform solutions across Caen’s training centre, Olivier Pickeu said: “As part of our long-term plans for the club, investing in new technologies is essential. Working with Stats Perform, our coaching staff will be able to use new methods of analysis, through the use of predictive data.”
Caen’s scouting team will also be using the ISF platform to assist with their day-to-day management and coordination of all scouting activity, including archiving reports on recruitment prospects and shortlisting player targets. In parallel with ISF, senior management at the club will also use the data management platform, Evolution, provided by Stats Perform’s SPIN partner 21st Group and powered by Opta data. Evolution will provide Caen with a suite of tools to drive informed decision-making and strategic planning.
The club will also be using Stats Perform’s athlete monitoring platform, Dynamix, to assess the physical performance of its first-team squad. Dynamix is a cloud-based application which allows staff to monitor player load during intense physical activity in training and in matches, so that they can make proactive interventions when necessary to mitigate against potential injuries.
Stats Perform’s Head of Sales for Southern Europe, Antoine David, added: “I am very pleased to welcome SM Caen to the Stats Perform family, who have recognised the huge potential of our wide range of services to enhance their day-to-day working processes. By adopting an AI-driven approach to their performance analysis, player recruitment and athlete monitoring, they are going to be at the forefront of innovation in football and we are looking forward to supporting them as their project progresses in the years to come.”
SM Caen, was recently purchased by LA-based Oaktree Capital.

Spinomenal presents 4 Horsemen III: Inferno

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has released 4 Horsemen III: Inferno to complement the wildly popular Mythology series.
4 Horsemen III: Inferno invites players into an apocalyptic hellscape where the reels are engulfed by a scorched wasteland under burning skies. A relentlessly surging and dark soundtrack creates an atmosphere thick with tension. The Horsemen return, Conquest, War, Famine, and Death, each carrying their own Free Spins feature, which is triggered with three or more full-sized Scattered Free Spins symbols.
Each time players discover three or more Free Spins symbols, they can move on to the next Free Spins feature, seeking bigger returns. The first Horseman is Conquest and offers Winning Symbols Respins. In this first stage, all winning combinations trigger a respin, with winning symbols staying in place while non-winning symbols are substituted for new ones.
The next Free Spins stage is Extra Wilds and this is represented by War. This time while the reels are spinning, three to five extra Wild symbols can appear on the slot to increase winning chances. Five Wild symbols on a winning line will pay x300.
Any players who find another three or more full-sized Scattered Free Spins will follow the map onto Famine – which is a Shifting Reels Free Spins feature. During this round, after each win the game will trigger a free respin where all the reels move one row down and a new row on top will be revealed.
The final resting place is Death for the Stacked Wild Respins feature where each occasion a stacked Wild symbol appears fully on the reel a respin will be triggered.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “4 Horsemen III: Inferno is a chaos-fuelled title packed with four epic features within the Free Games mode. The red-hot design is visually striking, and players will be hoping to ride from the flames with a fortune.”
