Glue42 wins bet on new market segment and expands footprint
The desktop application integration firm moves into APAC, supplements the existing platform with extended connectivity, adds new customers and provides best-in-class support for Bloomberg and Eikon.
Glue42, the company bringing a simplified desktop experience and interoperability to financial institutions, today announced it is extending the connectivity of the financial desktop as well as its footprint into Asia Pacific through a reseller agreement with Chelmer. In July, the team also expanded beyond its existing wealth management portfolio into new markets and added a sports betting company as well as an alternative asset management firm as new clients.
“Our aim is to become the system of choice for financial companies and beyond,” said Leslie Spiro, CEO, Glue42. “Month on month, we’ve added new clients and deployed new licenses. We remain committed to helping our customers tackle critical digital transformation initiatives, including business process automation, application migration and regulatory compliance. Adding third-party application and solution connectivity is in line with our strategy to deliver simple and intuitive user experiences across desktops globally. The recent client wins and expansion into Asia Pacific are a perfect testimony to this effort.”
As part of the new release, Glue42 desktop users’ apps can now interoperate with third-party websites and web apps through browser extensions, eliminating the need to have access to an application’s API or source code APIs. Using Glue42, customers and partners will now also be able to orchestrate UI and share data context with the world’s biggest financial data providers, including Eikon and Bloomberg.
Adding new clients demonstrates that the interop firm’s value proposition is valuable beyond wealth management and can easily extend into new markets.
As a result of the Glue42 Desktop implementation, traders at the U.S. employee owned hedge fund with approximately $2.24 billion in assets under management were able to simplify their desktop and increase their productivity by creating streamlined workspaces and automating previously manual operations. Furthermore, re-use of existing legacy systems meant that there was no need for the fund’s developers to re-write existing apps or purchase new apps.
The sports betting company can now help its users make more accurate predictions of soccer matches globally at a much faster pace. Through an integrated dashboard, consultants can zone in on pre-match and live games, and provide related information via contextualized screens.
“Technology is at the heart of each of these businesses,” said James Wooster, COO, Glue42. “They required dynamic technology that evolves with their markets and future technology stack, whilst allowing full utilisation of their existing technology assets. Going forward, our clients can expect deeper integration capabilities and a broader set of productivity functionality. At the same time, we will also bring the benefits of desktop interoperability to other industries and geographies, starting with Asia Pacific right now.”
“The Glue42 desktop application integration platform will help us underpin the next generation of financial desktops in Asia Pacific,” said Andy Robertson, Chief Innovation Officer at Chelmer. “We found it to be the most advanced desktop integration platform available to date and are confident that it will help us deliver simple and intuitive user experiences to our clients’ desktops.”

Nolimit City revisits the brutal factory life in Outsourced: Slash Game
Nolimit City takes you back to the grind with its latest release, Outsourced: Slash Game. For those who thought their consumerist cravings were a safe indulgence, think again. Following in the footsteps of Outsourced, this new addition pulls back the curtain on the sweat and sacrifice lurking behind those everyday luxuries—this time with a dash of danger. Outsourced: Slash Game is the studio’s second venture into crash-style gameplay, the first being xCrash™ in Skate or Die – but this time it’s a standalone crash game!
In Slash Game, players have to make some cutthroat decisions as a laser traces the outline of their hand, increasing the multiplier with every pass. Players hit “stop” to cash out, locking in the multiplier when they feel the timing is right. After which, they will be shown the potential winnings if they wouldn’t have stopped. But here’s the catch: if players hesitate a second too long and the laser slips, all the winnings are lost. A live scoreboard displays the Top Win, Top Miss and Last Round, so that players can keep track of their previous rounds.
Outsourced: Slash Game is not a familiar Nolimit City slot to some players but could cause some excitement with an increasing multiplier and a maximum payout of 1,500x the base bet. Outsourced: Slash Game, unlike Nolimit City’s high-volatility slots, is rated as ‘Medium Volatility’ but don’t let that fool you as it still includes the risk of losing your hand.
Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “Get back to work, will you? We’re bringing players back to the unrelenting factory floor of Outsourced with an all-new twist. Slash Game is a standalone take on our crash-style games, and it’s packed with plenty of heart-stopping moments (and maybe a few hand-stopping ones, too). We’re thrilled with how it turned out and we hope that our fans will be too!“
‘Outsourced: Slash Game’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on November 5th, 2024.

Set sail on a pirate quest with Belatra’s Tortuga Codex
Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has launched its pirate-themed title, Tortuga Codex. This 5×4 slot casts players on a journey on the hunt for untold riches buried on a mysterious island.
A Skull symbol acts as the Wild and will substitute for any other symbol to increase the chances of a win. An intriguing element to the game lies in the Additional Reel feature which sits above the main frame. It’s in sync with the main reels, displaying Wild symbols, special pirate icons, and numbers from one to nine. When three or more bomb Scatters come in, numbers on the Additional Reel become active multipliers in the bonus game. The more Scatters appear, the higher each multiplier value, amplifying the potential winnings.
In the main game, the Wild scatters a random number of Wild symbols onto the reels if there is a Scatter underneath it. When the Bonus Game is hit, the Wild symbol will be replaced by the number 9. Pirate Bob, Pirate Patrick and Pirate Girl symbols replace all minor symbols if there is a Scatter symbol underneath them. These symbols will be replaced by the numbers 8, 7 and 6 respectively.
The Treasure Chest symbol awards players with a random win ranging from 5 to 1000 bets if there is a Scatter symbol under it. This symbol is replaced by the number 5 when the Bonus game begins. A Coin gives the player a win of 10 bets on the game if there is a Scatter symbol underneath it – transforming into the number 4 for the Bonus. All numbers on the Additional Reel that fall out or appear in place of symbols will go into the Bonus Game when three or more Scatters appear on the reels. Hitting four Scatters will increase each number by one, landing five Scatters will increase each number by three – the maximum is nine.
Players trigger the Bonus Game with three or more bomb Scatters. Before it begins, the first and second cells open up on the Additional Reel at the top, then players must choose a chest that contains either a Plus, Multiplier, or a noose, which concludes the round. As players move down through the levels, the multipliers can increase depending on the chest’s bounty – the maximum is 59049x.
Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “Tortuga Codex takes players deep into the perilous seas filled with hidden mysteries, legendary treasures, and ancient artefacts waiting to be uncovered on the reels. The Bonus feature gives players the perfect opportunity to chart a course to winnings.”
