Kindred Futures Challenges Voice Driven Betting
Kindred Futures, the innovation arm of Kindred Group, has launched the first-of-its-kind prototype for voice-driven betting.
The prototype is built in partnership with tech start-up Artificial Solutions. It makes use of the tweaked Google Action to facilitate voice betting on six top European football leagues & competitions. It provides a hassle-free betting experience and has the potential to redefine the way the users bet in the future. “Google was a great foundation for us thanks to its years as a search engine, meaning it had a wealth of data on a broad range of topics that its speech recognition understood. But despite this, it still required many hours of tuning and training to build the recognition of nuanced betting terminology and phrases” says Michael Franklin, Natural Language Lead at Kindred Futures.
The prototype was developed after 80 hours of extensive testing, during which more than 9,000 betting phrases were inputted to find out betting terms were understood and what were missed. Mark Jones, Head of Presales at Artificial Solutions said: “Speech recognition has made massive leaps over the last few years, and it’s now reached that tipping point where it’s good enough to be used to explore the future of voice-activated betting. This pioneering conversational AI application means Kindred Futures is in the perfect position to exploit voice technology moving forward.”
Will Mace, Head of Kindred Futures describes the project as “an experiment to see whether the technology was at a level or standard to cope with the nuance of sports betting.” He continues: “Delivering great experiences for our customers is at the forefront of what we do, making the best use of cutting-edge technology to deliver the products and services they want, or may require in the future.”
The product is in prototype mode now. When it is fully developed, it can be plugged into smart personal assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Cortana.

Amino Fuels Next Frontier for Low Latency Enterprise Video and Digital Signage with Leading Betting Operator Paddy Power
Paddy Power deploys Amino H200 and Orchestrate in 500+ locations to display low-latency video, virtual games and customer information across UK and Ireland
Amino, a leading provider of enterprise video and digital signage solutions, today announces the deployment of its Amino H200 4K media player and Orchestrate remote device management platform across over 500+ locations in the UK and Ireland for Paddy Power, a sports betting and gaming division of Flutter Entertainment. Amino’s versatile solution dynamically displays multiple low latency video streams as well as live odds and pricing details within each store.
Paddy Power has migrated both satellite video content delivery and legacy customer information systems, which previously ran on PCs and servers, to a single commercial-grade system with purpose-built hardware and management systems. Amino’s H200 media player now displays low latency live sporting events and virtual sports betting, as well as information for live odds and pricing details across the entire Paddy Power estate. Amino’s Orchestrate cloud-based device management system enables staff to effortlessly provision new devices as well as schedule, update, diagnose and control installed devices remotely.
By enabling Paddy Power to migrate video content delivery from satellite to IP and replace expensive PCs and servers, the H200-Orchestrate solution has resulted in significant cost savings as well as operational efficiencies. Its power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability has also enabled single-cable installation and supported “out of sight” operation.
“The H200-Orchestrate solution from Amino checked all the boxes for us,” said Colm Codd, Head of Technology – Retail at Paddy Power. “Not only did Amino provide us with the hardware, but by using their powerful Orchestrate management platform and the expertise of Amino’s support team, we were able to deploy this cutting-edge solution faster and more efficiently than we anticipated, while generating genuine cost savings. We can now centrally manage all our in-store display configurations and applications to ensure that content is up to date, relevant and complies with regional regulations. We also believe that the enhanced retail experience we have created will lead to increased satisfaction for our customers.”
“The real-time, low-latency requirements of today’s betting shops are critical as expectations of the betting experience have skyrocketed over the last several years,” added Mark Carlisle, CEO of Amino. “Our low latency enterprise video and digital signage solutions are ideal for companies like Paddy Power because they provide a competitive advantage when every second counts. We are proud to help Paddy Power significantly enhance its customer experience.”
Amino’s powerful Orchestrate player management solution was recently named a finalist in the prestigious AV Awards 2024 in the Digital Signage Technology of the Year category.
