BetGames launches new Game Show vertical with Entain
Innovative live dealer and betting games studio BetGames has announced the launch of a new product vertical, Game Shows, in tandem with a landmark agreement with sports betting and gaming group, Entain.
The collaboration between Entain and BetGames brings forward a unique live game show, which provides customers with an unrivalled experience set within a state-of-the-art studio.
As part of this landmark deal, BetGames will provide Entain with a total of three bespoke and unique gameshows, with the first, Starzle, kicking off the partnership giving the group access to the industry’s first premium number-themed gameshow.
The products will be accessible across Entain’s renowned brand portfolio, with a direct integration onto Ladbrokes’ platform launching the partnership.
Game Shows is an innovative new product, featuring state-of-the-art technology and has been optimised for the Ladbrokes brand. The new vertical will introduce the industry-first number-themed gameshow, with a mix of both number-themed mechanics and card-based elements. Combining the ever-popular number draw mechanic with the drama of earning higher multipliers at the turn of a card, this bespoke game is sure to have broad appeal.
Entain is one of the industry’s largest sports betting and gaming groups, operating in both online and land-based sectors. The company’s extensive list of popular brands includes bwin, Coral, Ladbrokes, Sportingbet, Foxy Bingo, Gala and PartyCasino.
The launch is an integral part of a series of developments that will see 2022 become the strongest launch year in the company’s history. BetGames is also set to expand its offered verticals from one to three, simultaneously enhancing its proposition and widening its reach.
Commenting on the deal, BetGames’ CEO Andreas Koeberl said: “We’re absolutely delighted to partner with the Entain group. Its status as one of the world’s largest gaming organisations and innovation leaders imbues us with excitement at the possibilities our collaboration will lead to. This is a game changer for us as a company and a result of our successful transformation over the previous 18 months. The fantastic collaboration with Entain’s brilliant product, brand, and commercial teams enabled us to launch the game – from ideation to production – within only nine months.
“The Game Show product line is a carefully curated tier-one focused vertical that will provide users with an unprecedented gambling experience, we’re extremely enthusiastic about it and are confident it will appeal to many across the iGaming space.”
Head of Live Casino at Entain, Graciella Anthony added: “Working closely with BetGames was a great experience and a testament as to what we can achieve together – and we couldn’t be more excited to work with them again.
“Starzle is a long-term exclusive to Entain and is further testament to our ambition of being the home of live games shows and continuing to offer our customers the best and most exciting content in the marketplace.”
Adam Lahouiri, Live Casino Commercial & Product Manager at Entain said: “This has been an exciting project to be a part of, working alongside such a talented team at BetGames was a pleasure. We are delighted with the outcome and look forward to expanding our suite of exclusive Game Shows.”
These milestone developments come on the back of the company successfully revamping its Lotto Reloaded studio in recent months. The flagship product is authorised across several key markets including those governed by the UKGC and MGA, whilst also satisfying the regulatory requirements in a variety of South African jurisdictions.

Bacta commissioned research shows huge support for seaside arcades led by Gen Z

The findings of independent research conducted by Censuswide among a sample of 2,000 UK Nationally representative respondents aged 16+ shows that Generation Z has fallen in love with the seaside arcades so popular with their grandparents.
The research reveals that 8 in 10 respondents (81 percent) view seaside arcades as being part of British culture and it is young Brits that are banging the drum for arcades, with 90 percent of 25–34-year-olds backing their importance.
Despite overwhelming public support from Britain’s younger generations, seaside arcades continue to face a perfect storm of challenges from rising energy and staffing costs, plus the threat of increased taxation as suggested by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
72 percent say Government should do more to protect them – with 86 percent of those aged 25-34-years calling for urgent action.
The research findings confirm the central role played by seaside arcades with 72 percent of adults saying they would visit an arcade on a trip to the seaside a figure that rises to 91 percent for 24-34-year-olds.
In terms of providing accessible entertainment 55 percent say that arcades offer great value for money, making them the UK’s most affordable family day out. As a result, 84 percent confirmed they have enjoyed arcades with multiple generations of their family.
The importance of contributions to local economies featured highly in the research paper with 7 in 10 stating that arcades play a key role in regenerating seaside towns, a figure that rises to 85 percent of 18-24-year-olds.
Reflecting on the research findings Joseph Cullis, President of UK trade association, Bacta said: “Britain’s seaside arcades are a vital element of our proud tourism industry, a modern cultural icon, and have been a fun family activity for more than a century.
“It’s brilliant but not surprising to see young people are embracing them with all the enthusiasm of their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents before them.
“At Bacta, we’re fighting to protect our seaside arcades from the threats of rising costs and from those who want to tax them out of existence. We hope that local councillors, MPs and the Treasury will heed the wants and needs of the British people and protect these vital institutions.”
Elliot Ball, who co-owns and runs Clacton Pier with his brother Billy, said other attractions would be at risk if arcades were taxed even more.
“I’m the fifth generation of my family – on both sides – involved in amusement arcades so this is a labour of love” he stated.
“But the threat from the government to raise gambling tax would put at risk a traditional family day out to the seaside. Trips here have been making memories for generations, and it’s great that younger people are finding the same safe, harmless fun on the pier that has been raising a smile and lighting up eyes for years and years.
“We’ve bounced back from the pandemic and the rise of staycations helps, but many of Britain’s most beloved seaside attractions will be put at high risk if gambling taxes rise.”
