At Zitro’s booth, attendees were treated to an up-close look at the company’s cutting-edge game content and mechanics, tailor-made for the demands of both players and casinos. Once again, Zitro amazed visitors with a totally innovative product offering which is the result of investment, creativity, effort, and determination of its talented team, because Winning is Not About Luck!
Zitro unveiled a wide range of titles, exclusively designed for the renowned GLARE cabinet line, offering casino operators the flexibility to diversify and optimize their casino floors, while enhancing player engagement.
“We are proud to have given customers a fresh look at Zitro’s offering, our most extensive and diverse product lineup to date. We have put in a tremendous amount of work to expand our GLARE product line, and we have developed new games for all four of the cabinets we have”, said Johnny Viveiros Ortiz, Founder of Zitro. “This achievement has been made possible by our continued investment in innovation, as well as the relentless determination of our talented team. Zitro has always recognized the importance of providing operators with a broad library of games, and our dedication to diversity has also been a driving force behind our success. We remain committed to introducing exciting new novelties to meet the demands of both players and casinos”.
Among Zitro’s vast portfolio of gaming innovations, some of the most anticipated products were:
“Fu Frog” and “Fu Pots”, which stood out as the newest generation of proven performers. These game titles are featured on the Illusion and Allure Glare cabinets, respectively. While both games share identical game mechanics, they feature distinct themes. These titles have proven to be a hit with operators and players who have experienced the games first-hand.
“Billy the Pig”, a brand-new star game, made its global debut at G2E on the Allure Glare cabinet. This slot title showcases unique themes featuring two charismatic piggies and stunning graphics. Billy the Pig brings together innovative math models with a distinct gameplay mechanic, setting it apart from other games in the industry. The game’s bank packaging alone captured the attention of visitors to the Zitro booth.
Adding to the excitement was “Lún Pán Dú” on the Altius Glare, which features an American-style wheel enhanced by fun and inviting characters. One of the standout aspects of Lún Pán Dú lies in its uniquely rewarding bonus round, engaging gameplay mechanics and impressive graphics.
Another eagerly anticipated multi-game was “88 Link Shiro”, building on the resounding success of Zitro’s acclaimed 88 Link series. This game title is featured on the premium Altius Glare cabinet, drawing inspiration from the rich culture of Japan. It offered an exciting and rewarding gaming experience, that amazed players and operators alike.
Zitro introduced its latest titles for the Allure Glare cabinet: “Abundance Gong”, “Luxury Gong”, and “Eternity Gong” in the Gong Series. These games all feature and exciting “Bonus one for Link” mechanic, delivering an innovative and engaging player-experience.
Zitro Digital, the company’s online division, showcased its growing library of progressive game content that has proven to be popular with both land-based and online players. Among the highlights was the exclusive launch of “Mighty Hammer Ultimate”. Popular series such as “Link King”, “Link Me”, “88 Link”, and “Bashiba Link”, also took center stage, alongside the company’s extensive collection of Video Bingo.
Zitro Digital also presented its comprehensive range of gamification tools, including Tournaments and Achievements, to complement its games. These tools enable operators to enhance the experience of the company’s already successful video slots by adding additional features. Zitro Digital also introduced themed games tailored to specific times of the year, starting with the Halloween themed slot, “Apocalypse Reels”. These games are built on established mathematical and gameplay mechanics that have been tested in land-based casinos worldwide, making them highly valuable for client’s promotional strategies.
Derik Mooberry, CEO at Zitro USA, added: “G2E is always an exciting event for us, and this year was no exception. We are proud to have showcased our latest gaming offerings, which are a testament to how operators can enhance their profitability and engage players through new gaming experiences, driven by innovation and high-quality products. We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with our valued customers and partners alike, and look forward to sharing even more exciting news with the opening of our new office in Las Vegas, a strategic move that will strengthen our presence in the U.S. and support our commitment to delivering cutting-edge products in the heart of the gaming industry”.

Surrey Resident Wins Record-Breaking $80-Million Lotto Max Jackpot

Justin Simporios is normally a sound sleeper who “can fall asleep anywhere” – but he had a very sleepless night, after learning he won an $80-million Lotto Max jackpot from the May 9, 2025 draw. This is the largest lottery jackpot ever won in B.C. and is also the largest jackpot ever won by a single individual in Canada.
“It was 10:30 p.m.,” recalled Simporios of the moment he realized he won. “I saw that someone won $80 million in Surrey. I was joking and told my wife ‘we’re millionaires!’ and she told me to stop making that joke. After, I manually checked each number before scanning [using the BCLC Lotto! I cried and shouted, ‘we’re millionaires!’”
The Surrey resident woke up his wife to share the news. “She was in complete disbelief and a bit mad at me because our daughter wasn’t feeling well.” Simporios’ wife luckily agreed this was a good reason to wake her.
While still in disbelief about his win, Simporios is ultimately most excited to share his windfall with his family. “I want to help my family and my wife’s family. I’ll pay off my sister’s medical school debt and help my mom retire early – just giving my family a head start in life.”
Giving back to the community in Surrey and B.C. is also a key priority for Simporios. “I’ve struggled before and needed help. Even if I can give an ounce of happiness, I want to help where we can. This feels like a dream.”
As an avid LA Lakers fan, Simporios mentioned he would like to see LeBron James play before James retires. He also plans to visit his family in the Philippines for a family reunion. “My wife and kid have never visited!”
On how it feels to win a record-breaking jackpot?
“The biggest change will be having more time with my wife and family. We want to live with a purpose – to help the community around us.”
Simporios purchased the winning ticket at the Walmart Supercentre in Central City on King George Boulevard in Surrey.
So far in 2025, B.C. lottery players have redeemed more than $101 million from Lotto Max. Lotto Max is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Tuesdays and Fridays after 7:30 p.m. (PST).
Players can purchase tickets at lottery retailers or at PlayNow.com. Winning numbers and group release forms can be found online at www.bclc.com. Players can check their lottery tickets anytime, anywhere on iOS and Android devices. Learn more about the BCLC Lotto!
