Oddsgate was selected by Lisboa Unicorn Capital to participate in Collision, an internationally renowned event that will take place in Toronto, Canada, from June 17th to 20th. The primary purpose of this event is to bring together big names in technology and redefine the direction of this constantly growing industry.

Lisboa Unicorn Capital, an initiative led by the Lisbon City Council, stands as a driving force in the global landscape of entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology. Its latest endeavor empowers startups to engage with international events by providing support and resources. The program “From Lisbon to the World: Mission Global Events” exemplifies this commitment, offering startups a gateway to global opportunities.

Oddsgate, a standout in the local tech scene, was selected to represent the portuguese capital at this major international event.

The occasion will allow the iGaming company to showcase its team as exhibitors at Collision, fostering invaluable connections and insights in what has often been called “the Olympics of technology”.

Although this is a new experience for Oddsgate, which hasn’t had the chance to participate in this specific event in previous years, it won’t be the company’s first relationship with the country, as it already has established operations in the Canadian iGaming market.

Intending to evolve its operations more and more in the country, this participation represents a valuable chance to strengthen existing ties and expand the barriers of action of the Lisbon company, which already has a global presence.

Guilherme Graziani, Head of Business Development at LatAm, and Tomás Medley, Head of Account Management, are leading the charge, ensuring Oddsgate’s presence resonates powerfully at Collision.

This is a great achievement and a source of pride for the entire team, as highlighted by the co-founder, Mickael Shahinyan:

“Being selected for the event confirms our stance of always being attentive to the market, trends and opportunities to continue evolving. It also demonstrates our alignment with the rigorous standards and bold vision of Lisboa Unicorn Capital. We are very happy to be renowned for our unprecedented integrity of product, technology and service advancements cooped with regulatory compliance, giving our partners great advantage in their operational markets.”

Organized by the Web Summit Group, renowned for curating transformative tech gatherings worldwide, Collision promises to be a nexus of innovation and inspiration. That’s why Oddsgate foresees meaningful encounters, enriching exchanges, diversity of nationalities and cultures, and the identification of trends that will shape the market.

As Oddsgate embarks on this milestone journey, it not only elevates its own profile and allows it to acquire and share relevant knowledge but also underscores Lisbon’s burgeoning reputation as a dynamic hub for global tech innovation.

Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ and ASX: LNW) (together with its subsidiaries, “Light & Wonder” or “L&W”) has released Claw and Roar, from specialist slot provider Lightning Box, one of Light & Wonder’s in-house studios, exhibiting a plethora of animal symbols that award unique modifiers and features.

In this 3×5 adventure, players step into a blissful forest, making friends with a number of creatures along the way, including the grizzly bear, who stars as a Wild symbol.

During the base game, three Wilds triggers respins, with up to six available, meaning the number of respins is further boosted. The respins continue until no more Wilds appear.

Bear footprints act as the scatter, with three, four or five of these initially activating eight free games. The Wild symbol also features in free games, as up to four can also launch respins, removing the lowest royal whilst issuing an additional free game.

With a powerful 243 ways to win, Claw and Roar is a Light & Wonder title currently exclusive to Rush Street Interactive in Michigan, Ontario and West Virginia .

Michael Maokhamphiou, Studio Director at Light & Wonder, said: “Claw and Roar is an enchanting addition to our portfolio, transporting players to an epic forest where the animals can help them receive prizes.

“The action-packed free games round is bolstered by the Wild symbol, which can assist in adding further riches by granting an extra round whilst also granting players increasing respins.”

Rob Procter, VP of Game Development at Light & Wonder, said: “Lightning Box is elevating its established portfolio with the launch of Claw and Roar, proudly showcasing classic features and modifiers that still resonate with its player base.

“With a trip to a beautiful forest guaranteed, players can engage themselves within the epic gameplay and state-of-the-art aesthetics, as this new title hits the brief when it comes to slot creation.”

Light & Wonder’s ecosystem offers more than 3,500 games from a global network of in-house and third-party game studios, with unrivalled ease of integration that is robust and secure. All games available through the aggregation platform are supported with a comprehensive range of responsible gambling tools, helping to deliver a safe and enjoyable gaming experience for players.

As part of its strategy to assist operators in enhancing player conversion, BetGames is introducing Live Roulette to its product lineup.

This new offering leverages the familiar appeal of traditional roulette, combined with the advantages of live, round-the-clock availability, making this casino product appeal to sports bettors through continuous gaming opportunities.

Live Roulette provides an environment where interaction is non-stop, catering to global audiences with seamless, uninterrupted play. This strategic addition is designed to help operators convert and retain players by ensuring they can always engage with the game.

The latest product to swell BetGames’ expanding, diverse portfolio follows in the footsteps of many of its recent launches, allowing for extensive customisation. The ability for operators to tailor the Live Roulette environment to their specific branding needs has been developed to boost player immersion and support brand alignment.

Extending the potential global reach of Live Roulette, it is also available in English, helping ensure that every operator can offer a distinctive experience tailored to their audience.

The addition of Live Roulette to BetGames’ evolving range of solutions follows the recent launch of its latest RNG roulette product, underscoring the company’s versatility in offering products that are strategically focused more on utility than on innovation.

This addition aligns with BetGames’ ongoing mission to support operators in their player conversion strategies by providing consistently available and customizable gaming solutions,

Ian Catchick, CPO at BetGames, commented: “Our goal is to support our operators in player conversion. Live Roulette’s 24/7 availability and customisation capabilities transform traditional gameplay into a powerful tool for the conversion of sports bettors to recreational casino players, enhancing user interaction and satisfaction.

“The rollout of Live Roulette demonstrates our commitment to enhancing operator success through products designed for high engagement and cross-selling, rather than focusing solely on innovation, reinforcing our position in both established and emerging markets. This approach ensures that we continue to meet the needs of our operators by providing effective gaming solutions that drive new player acquisition.

“With its focus on customisation and continuous availability, Live Roulette is set to become a crucial element in digital gaming portfolios, offering operators a valuable asset in achieving their conversion goals.”
