The International Casino Conference, which takes place on Monday 6th February and serves as a curtain-raiser to ICE London (7th-9th February) will feature a total of 150 industry thought leaders delivering invaluable insight and informed opinion covering gaming politics, emerging markets, regulation, entertainment spend, the experience economy as well as exclusive insights on the major casino development projects making the industry headlines.

Cynthia Kiser Murphey, General Manager, Palms Casino Resort Las Vegas and Laurens Vosloo, CEO San Manuel Casino will be among the global thought leaders sharing their experience in relation to the April 2022 opening of the Palms Casino Resort by the San Manuel Gaming & Hospitality Authority, an opening which took place just 132 days after receiving the licence to operate.

Ahead of the keynote presentation taking place at ICC Laurens Vosloo, Management Committee Member, San Manuel Gaming & Hospitality Authority and Chief Executive Officer of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians said: “Owning a casino resort in the entertainment and gaming mecca of Las Vegas was a long-term vision realised as part of the Tribe’s investment and diversification strategy. At the International Casino Conference, we will be sharing the story of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and how they made history by becoming the first Native American tribe to wholly own and operate a casino resort in Las Vegas.”

He added: “The San Manuel Tribe is known for their generosity and contributions to building-up communities as a way of showing their gratitude for the kindness that others showed them throughout their journey to self-reliance and sovereignty.

“The journey of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians through time to become one of Southern California’s leading employers and their history-making acquisition of Palms involved many discoveries along the way. Providing for the community is at the heart of the Tribe’s values, including creating jobs for 1,200 team members, 50% of whom were returning Palms team members.”

Reflecting on the huge logistical challenges of preparing such an iconic hospitality venue, Cynthia Kiser Murphey, General Manager, Palms Casino Resort Las Vegas, commented: “Our team opened Palms in less than four months —a period which included sourcing, hiring, and training 1,200 exceptional team members; overcoming strategic sourcing and supply chain issues and dealing with unknowns that we encountered as the first Tribal entity to own and operate a casino resort in Las Vegas.

“We are grateful that so many original Palms team members re-joined our team at opening. Team members expressed their desire to return because of the magic they feel when working here together. Their energy and enthusiasm are the reasons Palms continues to thrive.”

Since opening, Palms has established a reputation for delivering exceptional service to guests. Cynthia Kiser Murphey confirmed: “The property was fully renovated in 2019 so our guests will find stunning guestrooms and suites, including ten iconic themed suites; the one and only Ghostbar ultra lounge with breath taking views of the Las Vegas Strip; delicious dining options including the award-winning Scotch 80 Prime steakhouse; Vetri by renowned chef Marc Vetri; Mabel’s BBQ from famed Chef Michael Symon and so much more. Hospitality is a hallmark of the Tribe and put into practice at Palms where team members strive to go above and beyond to ensure guests have fun and enjoy their visit to its fullest.”

Their contributions in the community are making it stronger and more resilient. They truly are an amazing organization to work for.”

Spinomenal presents new slot: Queen of Oasis
Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has released its latest title, Queen of Oasis.

Set against the rolling ancient Egyptian dunes and lush, palm-lined oases, Queen of Oasis immerses players in an elegant world of riches. Camels, vultures, antelopes, snakes, and the powerful Queen herself bring this 5-reel slot to life. The reels sit within two ornate marble pillars where the bejewelled Queen represents the Wild symbol.

During the main game, the Queen counts for any symbol except Free Spins and Bonus symbols. Finding five Wild symbols on a winning line pays x2,000 the bet.

Queen of Oasis is a crowning triumph thanks to the two superb features, a Bonus game and Free Spins. Three or more Scattered Free Spins symbols trigger the special feature. Before Free Spins commence, players can either accept the current number awarded or throw caution to the wind to earn more – up to 50 free spins. Once activated, one to three stacked Wilds are placed on random reels during each spin and boosting potential returns.

The bonus game is initiated when three or more Scattered Bonus Symbols land on the reels. Players kick off with three spins and the goal is finding as many urns as possible to increase the multiplier metre which pays out once the spins are finished. Each sector of the multiplier metre is filled by five winning symbols and there is an opportunity to bag an extra spin by finding the +1 symbol.

Synced Reels and Expanding Reels add another exciting element to the Bonus Game.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Queen of Oasis is a beautiful blend of visual elegance and bold gameplay. Every feature has been created to captivate, reward, and raise the bar for what an Egyptian-themed slot can deliver.”

Stats Perform Named Live Streaming Supplier of the Year at EGR B2B Awards 2025
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Stats Perform has been named Live Streaming Supplier of the Year at the EGR B2B Awards 2025, in recognition of the strength, innovation, and global scale of its Bet LiveStreams platform for licensed sportsbook apps, websites and retail betting venues.

Bet LiveStreams, first launched as ‘Watch&Bet’ in 2005, now delivers more than 40,000 exclusive low-latency live events each year, across 15 sports. Football, the world’s largest betting sport, accounts for more than 15,000 matches, with rights including LaLiga, CONCACAF, English Football League and top domestic leagues and cups across Europe, South America, and APAC. Other sports include tennis, basketball, volleyball, darts, badminton, rugby and cricket.

Judges noted that Stats Perform’s Bet LiveStreams is unique because of its extensive year-long, round-the-clock coverage and high performance. In 2024, the platform securely delivered billions of live video sessions to hundreds of licensed global sportsbooks such as bet365, Betano, Superbet, Betfair, FanDuel and many more.

They also praised its interactive, built-for-betting features like betslip integration, instant highlights, and in-stream contextual stats (also known as Opta Interactive Overlays) that have made the watching and betting experience more engaging for bettors.

“Our focus with Bet LiveStreams has been to make live streams easy to watch and bettable, whoever is playing,” said Mike Perez, Chief Operating Officer at Stats Perform. “The features give bettors more entertainment from every stream, whether it’s a headline fixture like Tottenham v Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, or a six-goal thriller in South America that might otherwise have been overlooked. We’re delighted our efforts have been recognised with this award.”

The judging panel pointed to three standout recent Bet LiveStreams innovations:

  • Opta Interactive Overlays: Live game and player stats and odds available directly in-stream, with bets added to the slip in one click
  • Instant Highlights: Key moments can be replayed during the game to help bettors quickly catch up on relevant action, such as the moment their bet won, or see action they missed in other live games, with multi-game playlists across competitions
  • Live Match Gallery: Easier discovery of concurrent events, helping bettors follow more matches and sports at the same time

Adoption of these features has been fast and operators have reported a 7x increase in interactions per session, longer watch times and more in-play bets placed.

“This award is a reflection of how far streaming can go when it’s built for betting, not just viewing. We’re excited to continue to integrate our Opta data and AI into the experience to make the future of streaming on sportsbooks more engaging, intuitive and bettable,” added Perez.
