Reading Time: 2 minutes

Welcome to our weekly roundup of American gambling news again! It was again an eventful week at the USA, despite the still-active virus attack.

The good news is that the lock-down and social restrictions to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic have been eased in many states. As a result, most of the industrial sectors are resuming their operations. Same in the case of the gambling sector too. Several gambling companies too have restarted their operations and some others are on way to resume.

We also report new partnership deals, publication of financial results, and COVID-19 relief efforts in this weekly round-up. Read on and get updated.

Partnership Deals

Evolution Gaming signed a strategic agreement with online casino operator Golden Nugget. The deal will see Golden Nugget’s existing online offering further enhanced in New Jersey, and potentially in other US states in the future, by the addition of Evolution’s US online Live Casino services. As per the deal, Golden Nugget’s online players will have access to unique Evolution game types such as Dream Catcher, Side Bet City, and Top Card, as well as other games from the Evolution portfolio.

Also, the leading sportsbook and casino platform provider BetConnections inked an agreement to obtain DS Virtual Gaming’s full list of games. The integration of the games will give players access to a selection of DS VG’s hit releases with HD video content and state-of-the-art graphics.

There was happy news about Konami Gaming too as its SYNKROS CMS has been selected by Jamul Casino to deliver comprehensive gaming enterprise management across the 200,000 square foot destination.

Konami’s SYNKROS will deliver its leading systems technology across Jamul Casino’s 39 live table games, 1600+ slot games, restaurants, bars, and more.

Financial Reports

The Delaware Lottery reported a 39% year on year increase in online gambling revenues for April 2020. While the state’s land-based venues have been forced to close due to COVID-19, players have turned to online sites instead.

Delaware Park, Dover Downs, and the Harrington Raceway generated total revenues of US$856,182, up from US$615,772 the previous year. This number was and also higher than the US$514,959 generated in March this year.

COVID-19 Relief Efforts

The Alabama Food Bank Association received support from Wind Creek Hospitality, a company owned by the Alabama-based Poarch Band of Creek Indians, to help provide 250,000 meals to Alabama families during the COVID-19 pandemic. The support comes at a critical time for food banks in Alabama as they respond to a greater need during this unprecedented crisis.

Announcements

Ulrik Bengtsson, CEO of William Hill, has revealed that the company is planning to launch online casinos in the US in the second half of 2020.

Despite taking a hit to its results in Q1 2020, William Hill is determined to power up quickly in the second half of the year.

Surveys

Fantasy sports site Monkey Knife Fight (MKF) found in a recent survey of its 1000 users that the popularity of golf will soar both on viewership and participation.

Of MKF’s users, 76% reported that they would participate in a fantasy golf prop contest once golf returns. This is in sharp contrast (181% increase) to the 27% that reported ever having played one MKF golf prop contest before the pandemic.

Compliance

The Colombian gambling regulator Coljuegos published the live casino regulations. These regulations allow the country’s licensed gambling operators to offer live casino games from casinos or studios located within Colombia or overseas, subject to the certification of games by an approved testing house.

Scotland-Founded AyeGaming Group Debuts as a Home for Industry Collaboration

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

A new grassroots digital community initiative, the AyeGaming Group, has been launched on LinkedIn with a clear purpose: to bring people across land-based and online gambling together in an honest, inclusive, and supportive space.

Founded in Scotland by respected industry figures, the AyeGaming Group is already drawing interest from across the iGaming world for its warm approach and people-first mission. The group welcomes professionals from all backgrounds, including operators, suppliers, affiliates, consultants, and creatives, all who believe in shaping a better future for the industry by putting the community at its heart.

The initiative is the brainchild of three passionate advocates for the gambling industry, including co-founders Jennifer Innes, CEO of BettingJobs, and Elaine Gardiner, Managing Director of TAG Media. Together, they’ve created a space where kindred spirits can connect for business and belonging.

“I wanted to be part of driving something locally within the iGaming industry. There truly are so many wonderful people in the sector who either live in Scotland or have relocated to one of the many other global iGaming hubs. Creating a dedicated time and space for us to connect in the form of the AyeGaming meet-up feels important – this is a big, global industry, but it can seem far less imposing when we all come together. It also gives us a chance to reflect on and recognise the impact our Scottish voices have across the iGaming industry as a whole.” said Jennifer Innes.

Elaine Gardiner added: “Jennifer and I have known each other for over 17 years, just as long as I’ve been in the industry. Back in January, we bumped into each other on a flight from Scotland to Barcelona, heading to ICE with a few other industry folks. That’s when we knew it was time to set the wheels in motion for a Scottish gaming meet-up. I’m excited it’s finally coming together and looking forward to meeting more people from across the industry.”

Built on a foundation of Scottish values of fairness, humour and humility, the AyeGaming Group offers something refreshingly human in an industry dominated by deal-making and fast growth.

The group’s first in-person event, the Wee AyeGaming Meet-Up, will occur on Thursday, June 19, at the National Piping Centre in Glasgow. The event promises informal networking, shared stories, and genuine connection in a setting rich with Scottish tradition.

Attendees can expect:

  • Informal but meaningful conversations
  • Insights from industry leaders across land-based and iGaming
  • A warm, inclusive atmosphere to meet kindred spirits
  • And, of course, a wee dram and the sound of the pipes

The AyeGaming Group is open to anyone who shares its values, whether based in Glasgow, Gibraltar, Buenos Aires, or elsewhere.
