Spectrum Gaming Group Reveals Top 10 Gaming Trends for 2019Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Spectrum Gaming Group, an independent research and professional services firm serving public- and private-sector clients worldwide, has developed its 15th annual list of Most Important Trends that the global gaming industry needs to monitor in 2019.

This list has been developed in conjunction with experts from:

Spectrum tracks these and other trends on a regular basis. To view previous years’ lists, visit https://spectrumgaming.com/gaming-trends/.

Top 10 trends for 2019 (in order of prominence):

  1. An increasing number of jurisdictions around the world will seek to authorize integrated resorts – largely through a competitive bidding process – as the most effective means of leveraging gaming as an economic tool to help achieve their policy goals. Related to that, Japan will appoint a gaming oversight board and promulgate IR regulations, and prefectures will position themselves to attract and be selected for IR sites by the national government.
  2. In Asia, the online gaming industry – including the streaming of casino games to China from the Philippines and Cambodia – will begin to face scrutiny from China and from international regulators. Concurrently, we expect changes to the Asian junket industry as some junkets position themselves as casino operators and others go out of business as the reliance on junkets diminishes in Macau and Macau continues to evolve as a mass and premium-mass market.
  3. Sports-betting legislation will continue to proliferate in the United States and gain momentum, as we expect at least nine state governments and lotteries to begin the process of authorizing legal sports betting, spurred by various forces, including the fiscal needs of states. Concurrently, the relatively slow acceptance and expansion of online gaming in the US will speed up in 2019, fueled in part by the proliferation of sports betting in a digital format, as well as by the need for legislatures to plug budget deficits.
  4. The interest of lotteries to expand into both igaming and sports betting will grow significantly, creating competitive tensions in jurisdictions that have both lotteries and either tribal or commercial casinos, requiring legislatures to address such conflicts through new policies that provide limits as to the online channels and offerings that lotteries and casinos can pursue.
  5. Private companies and organizations that have not previously been involved in any form of legal gaming, such as sports bars and restaurants, will seek to offer sports and/or online wagering, largely choosing to become lottery retailers, as they follow the lead of lotteries into this burgeoning field. More states will respond to fiscal pressures by expanding their gaming offerings through additional licenses, lottery expansions, retail gaming and other means, prompting existing land-based casino licensees to push back, as they view such expansions as detrimental to their operations and to the value of their existing licenses.
  6. Lotteries that seek to offer mobile and online sports betting will be pressured to adopt regulatory policies that have to date largely been limited to gaming operators, including more robust, comprehensive licensing of retailers, as well as rules governing areas ranging from internal-control submissions to responsible-gaming policies and other areas.
  7. States and tribal governments that have existing compacts that did not contemplate online or sports betting will face increasing pressure to overcome their reluctance to open compact negotiations to address these areas.
  8. European and Asian B2B sports-betting and online gaming providers will seek entry points into the US market, with many facing challenges due to previous online ventures into gray and black markets. This will prompt legislators and regulators to develop clear, uniform definitions as to what constitutes a gray or black market. Concurrently, as online and sports betting expand in the US, regulators and legislators will be pressed to restrict and regulate advertising and related rules, following similar plans under consideration by some major European jurisdictions — including Italy and the United Kingdom.
  9. More gaming and pari-mutuel operators, from large integrated resorts to small race tracks, will seek esports offerings, in part to better leverage under-utilized space, and in part, to address an aging slot demographic. Offerings will range from offering esports as an amenity to ultimately offering esports as a wagering opportunity.
  10. M&A activity is likely to ramp up in US casino operations, as online gaming consolidation in general will continue, as sports book/online platforms and operators will be on the radar for US operators and suppliers. Related to that, we expect European players to be hunting for US acquisitions as well.

These trends and other issues will be discussed at the following upcoming events where Spectrum will be speaking:

  • Sports Betting Policy Summit, November 15 in Washington, DC
  • National Tax Association Conference on Taxation, November 15-17 in New Orleans
  • Sports Betting USA, November 27-28 in New York City
  • Winter Meeting of the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS), January 4-6 in New Orleans

Golden Boomerang Awards 2025 has launched a special competition for the Champions League semi-finals

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Boomerang Partners, a rapidly growing global brand, is excited to announce the launch of a special contest in conjunction with the 2025 Golden Boomerang Awards tournament, running until May 11. This contest, dedicated to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, offers tournament participants a chance to compete for exclusive prizes.

With more than 400 affiliate teams participating worldwide, the competition is fierce, with monthly prizes up for grabs. The final prize drawing will take place on May 3, where one lucky winner will have their dream fulfilled. In addition to monthly prizes, awards will be given in 11 different categories.

The special Champions League-themed contest is open to both current tournament participants and newcomers. Registration for this unique opportunity is open until May 5, giving everyone a chance to win the grand prize — the coveted ‘Home Stadium Fan’ VIP experience. Affiliate managers will provide details to new participants.

The Champions League semi-finals are a top event in the world of sports, which generates fantastic interest among fans. The first matches will take place on April 29 and 30, when Arsenal will play PSG and Barcelona will face Inter, respectively. The return matches will take place on May 6 and 7. All the teams that made it to the top four deserve to win.

Arsenal are betting on the Champions League, given that they are 12 points behind leading Liverpool in the English Premier League and have played one more match. PSG are 23 points off the lead in the French Ligue 1, and can safely focus on the Champions League. Interestingly, Arsenal already played PSG in the second round of the tournament’s group stage and won 2-0.

The game between Barcelona and Inter looks particularly interesting. It is a rematch of the 2010 semi-final, when Inter eventually won the Champions League trophy. The teams approach the game as leaders of the championships—Spain and Italy. Barcelona’s best striker, Robert Lewandowski, will miss the first game – he is out for about three weeks due to injury.

The upcoming Champions League matches will be a powerful boost for the participants of the Golden Boomerang Awards. It is not only a chance to win a special prize, but also an opportunity to improve their positions in the sports leaderboard.

Stake, the world’s largest online casino, today announced the launch of Stake Engine — a next-generation Remote Gaming Server (RGS) built to give developers the tools, infrastructure, and audience they need to succeed on their terms.

Backed by the technology behind 300 billion bets and a global community of over 20 million players, Stake Engine offers an instant path to revenue with full end-to-end game development tools and the most developer-friendly commercial model in iGaming: 10% GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue), paid monthly.

Whether you’re an indie creator or a full-scale studio, Stake Engine offers everything you need to build, deploy, and grow games on your terms.

Studios are already winning.
Over the past 12 months, games built on Stake Engine have generated $3.31 billion in turnover. In the most recent quarter, three titles ranked among Stake’s top 50 games by total bets: Massive Studio’s Jawsome at #17, Serpentina at #23, and Twist’s Samurai Dogs Unleashed at #25.

Who can build?
Any developer. From math devs and indie studios to full-stack teams, if you can design and deliver engaging games, you’re welcome here.

Anything your imagination allows. Slots, wheel mechanics, card-based logic, original IP, Stake Engine has no templates, no restrictions, and no gatekeeping. If it plays well and meets our standards, you can build it, launch it, and own it.

Why build on Stake Engine?
Stake Engine gives developers everything they need to launch faster, without the barriers that slow down traditional game development.

No need to build your own infrastructure, negotiate publisher deals, or spend months integrating with legacy Remote Gaming Servers (RGS). With Stake Engine, you can go from idea to live game in days.

Stake handles the infrastructure, distribution, and visibility, so you can focus on what matters: building great games. There’s no pitching, no storefront politics, and no delays.

Behind the scenes, Stake Engine powers everything with a full front-end SDK, integrated math engine, balancing toolkit, and real-time analytics dashboard — putting real performance data at your fingertips.
