Everi Digital Enters U.K. Market For the First Time Via Jumpman Gaming

everi_digital_to_provide_high_performing_igaming_content_to_uk_online_players_for_first_time_via_jumpman_gamingEveri Digital, the well-known international provider of games for online casinos, has announced that its global footprint has expanded to cover the United Kingdom as well following an agreement with Jumpman Gaming.

Everi Digital is the online gaming arm of Everi Holdings, a powerful provider of content and software both for land-based and online casinos. The company also provides financial technology, player loyalty solutions and bingo platforms.

Jumpman Gaming on the other hand is a company that holds an online casino license granted by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission and provides services and content to various online casinos which operate in this highly competitive market. Among the company’s top customers we can find prominent brands such as Mirror Bingo, Sun Play and Amazon Slots.

The content from Everi Digital will be delivered to the customers of Jumpman Gaming through the Spark Remote Game Server, the proprietary game server of the supplier and will be aggregated through Light & Wonder, the famous international iGaming supplier formerly known as Scientific Games.

Last week Light & Wonder announced that it was ready to extend its existing collaboration with Everi Digital, allowing expansion across new markets in the United Kingdom, Europe and Latin America.

Until now the vast portfolio of casino games offered by Everi Digital was mostly featured in online casinos in North America. The deal with Jumpman Gaming, one of the fastest growing iGaming networks in the United Kingdom, will give the supplier the chance to showcase its products to a new but also vast audience.

A Significant Opportunity

Speaking about the agreement with Jumpman Gaming, Jordan Brent, Vice President of Digital Commercialisation at Everi Holdings, described it as “a significant opportunity” for the supplier to reach new players and markets.

“The ability to offer a diverse set of titles and play mechanics to this experienced group of players within a mature market motivates us to continue to develop great gaming entertainment experiences,” Jordan Brent added.

Kris Kukula, Managing Director of Jumpman Gaming, declared himself “delighted” to be able to bring the “fantastic range of content” supplied by Everi Digital to players in the United Kingdom. “Our aim is to continue providing players with the very best selection of iGaming content in the UK and this is another great milestone on our journey,” the Jumpman Gaming executive added.

Ex-Raiders Player Henry Ruggs Remains in Nevada Prison Camp During Super Bowl

As Henry Ruggs III’s former Las Vegas Raiders teammates watched Super Bowl LVIII this past Sunday, he continues his sentence at a Nevada prison camp with dorms rather than jail cells.

Ruggs, 25, is incarcerated at Stewart Conservation Camp, which is described as a minimum-security complex in Carson City, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS.

No word if he watched the iconic football game played at Allegiant Stadium.

Nowadays, he’s been earning $2.50 an hour at a job that has him work off-site for government offices, KLAS reported.

Transfer From Prison

First, he was incarcerated at High Desert State Prison, after pleading guilty to two charges stemming from a deadly collision.

In September, he reportedly was transferred to the minimum-security facility.

Ruggs was sentenced in August to at least three years in prison. He could be granted parole in August 2026.

In November 2021, Ruggs was driving up to 156 mph on Rainbow Boulevard in Las Vegas. He crashed his Corvette into a Toyota RAV4, driven by Tina Tintor, 23. She and her dog, Max, both perished in the fiery collision.

Ruggs’ blood-alcohol level after the deadly incident was 0.16, authorities revealed. That’s double the legal limit.

Initially, he was charged with DUI resulting in death, DUI resulting in bodily harm, two counts of reckless driving resulting in death or substantial bodily harm, and possession of a firearm while under the influence.

Ruggs faced up to 50 years in prison if he had been convicted of dropped charges, prosecutors said.

But he pled guilty to reduced charges of DUI resulting in death and vehicular manslaughter.

The firearm charge was one of those dropped counts even though a loaded gun was found in his Corvette after the crash.

Ruggs was socializing at TopGolf in Las Vegas hours before the crash.

Courtroom Apology

Before being sentenced, Ruggs last year apologized to Tintor’s family, his former team (the Las Vegas Raiders), and his relatives.

“To the parents and family of Ms. Tintor, I sincerely apologize for the pain and suffering my actions the morning of Nov. 2, 2021, have caused you, your family and those who knew Ms. Tina and Max,” Ruggs said in the courtroom.

I let my family, my teammates and those who believed in me down with my actions and hurt so many.”

After the crash, Ruggs was released by the Raiders. He had signed a four-year NFL contract reportedly worth more than $16M.

He was a first-round NFL Draft pick. Ruggs led the Raiders in receiving yards in 2021. The former Alabama standout had 24 receptions, 469 receiving yards, and two touchdowns through seven games.

His sentence has been questioned by former NFL star and celebrity O. J. Simpson, who believed it to be short, compared to his own sentence for armed robbery, which was between nine and 33 years.

Playtech and Hard Rock Digital Partnership Reaches First Milestone

playtech_and_hard_rock_digital_reach_first_milestonePlaytech, the global supplier of games and technology for online casinos, has announced the completion of the first phase of its strategic partnership with Hard Rock Digital, the interactive gaming and sports betting division of Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming.

The partnership was initially announced in March 2023, when Playtech revealed that it had agreed to pay 85 million dollars for a single-digit percentage stake in Hard Rock Digital. The purchase was part of a larger deal between the two sides, a deal which included the right for Hard Rock Digital to license a range of Playtech’s technology solutions and iGaming content.

Since that announcement, Playtech managed to deliver a whole range of games through the Hard Rock Bet platform in New Jersey, which is a proprietary brand of Hard Rock Digital. Among the content delivered we can find RNG slot games, table games and live dealer games as well. Moreover, Playtech developed several table games specifically for Hard Rock Bet, games which feature the operator’s brand.

Hard Rock Digital also licensed the technology solutions and iGaming content provided by Playtech, allowing customers to enjoy a wide range of entertaining and exciting casino games. This was true for the operator’s clients in New Jersey but also any future Hard Rock Bet iCasino markets in North America will have access to Playtech’s content.

Dedicated Blackjack Table Released

The announcement also revealed that the collaboration between the two sides led to the release of a dedicated blackjack table and that more such products will follow, “offering Hard Rock players a customized experience.” The two parties also underlined that this represents “just the beginning of a series of bespoke developments” that will be made because of this partnership.

Hard Rock Digital currently offers online and retail sports betting in Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia, while its retail sports betting with an integrated online sportsbook and casino experience is available only in New Jersey. The operator plans to launch its brand in more American states in the future and to expand to other international markets in the coming years.

Jonathan Doubilet, VicePresident for U.S. Business Operations at Playtech, declared himself “delighted” to have reached the first milestone of the collaboration and said he was “excited about accelerating the growing partnership with Hard Rock Digital.”

Grant Williams, Senior Vice President at Hard Rock Digital, underlined that the first dedicated table built together with Playtech is a way to provide “legendary entertainment” to the operator’s players. “We’re thrilled to introduce Playtech’s offerings to our New Jersey Hard Rock Bet players and look forward to continuing to develop unique digital experiences together as we expand in the U.S. and international markets,” the Hard Rock Digital representative concluded.
