Developed by Empire Creative, Signature American Roulette reflects Caesars’ growing investment in building its own proprietary content, a cornerstone of its online casino strategy aimed at delivering a best-in-class player experience. Signature American Roulette follows the recent launches of fan-favourite Signature titles, Caesars Palace Signature Multihand Blackjack Surrender in May and Signature Blackjack Surrender in June, both also developed by Empire Creative.
Novig announced the successful close of an $18 million Series A funding round. The round was led by Forerunner, with participation from existing investors Y Combinator, NFX, Perceptive Ventures and Gaingels. Founded by Jacob Fortinsky and Kelechi Ukah, Novig is reimagining sports predictions as a transparent and fair marketplace. Unlike traditional sportsbooks, Novig allows users to trade directly with one another, rather than against the house, eliminating hidden fees, biased odds and the risk of being penalised for winning.
Partnerships

SBK and The Tenth Man launch fully AI-generated “betting without the bullshit” ad campaign
SBK, the pioneering online sportsbook operator, has teamed up with The Tenth Man, a disruptive creative agency, to launch “Betting without the Bullshit”—a bold, no-nonsense, fully AI-generated 360° campaign ahead of the Premier League season. The campaign marks a category first in sports betting marketing, demonstrating the potential of AI in both creative concept and execution.
At the heart of the campaign is a stripped-back, visually arresting 20-second hero spot that cuts through the clichés, noise, and gimmicks often seen in betting ads. With a clear, confident tone, the ad showcases SBK’s “Best Price” product innovation and best odds promise—no fluff, no distractions.
Conceived, designed, and produced entirely using advanced AI tools by The Tenth Man’s creative team, the campaign is a testament to how AI can accelerate creative timelines while pushing the boundaries of originality and quality.
“At SBK, we’ve always stood for fairness, transparency, and the best odds in the market. ‘Betting without the Bullshit’ says exactly that—no gimmicks, no spin, and a subtle nod to our roots in finance,” said Adam Baylis, Marketing Director at SBK. “Partnering with The Tenth Man on a fully AI-generated campaign allowed us to move quickly, stand out from the crowd, and launch something genuinely different for the new season.”
Ken Robertson, Founder & CEO of The Tenth Man, added:
“We wanted to show what happens when you ditch the overblown nonsense and get to the point—in both message and production. This isn’t AI for the sake of it. It’s AI used to push creative boundaries and get a bold idea into the world faster than the old rules allow.”
The campaign is now live across SBK’s digital and social platforms, with targeted placements timed to coincide with the Premier League’s kick-off, aiming to redefine how sportsbooks connect with modern audiences.

Million Games Launches Temple X: A New Jungle-Themed Crash Adventure and Follow-Up to Chicken X
Million Games, the innovative game studio known for its bold and player-first creations, has announced the release of Temple X, a brand-new crash-style adventure game and the thrilling sequel to the fan-favorite Chicken X.
Set high above a misty jungle canopy, Temple X invites players to guide fearless adventurer Texas Jones across the perilous Trail of Echoes—a sky-high path of crumbling stones and rising cash rewards. With each step forward, the potential payout grows. The catch? Players can cash out at any time or risk it all for a final challenge: the Wheel of Echoes—a weathered treasure wheel that randomly boosts or reduces the total reward.
Game Features:
-
Crash mechanics reimagined with a thrilling jungle adventure setting
-
Three trail difficulty levels with rising multipliers: Explorer, Adventurer, and Legend
-
Treasure Wheel finale offering random mystery cash outcomes
-
96.50% RTP and a maximum win of 10,000x
“With Temple X, we wanted to build on everything players loved about Chicken X — the excitement, the simplicity, the decision-making — but raise the stakes even further,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO at Million Games. “The addition of the Treasure Wheel was our way of making the ending more engaging and unpredictable. Players who reach it face one last, thrilling decision — spin for a potentially bigger prize or risk losing what they’ve collected. It’s an extra layer of excitement at the end of an already suspenseful game.”
Temple X is now live and available for integration through Million Games’ platform and partner network.
