Live Casino becomes more interactive and immersive on Amusnet’s ICE stand
Launch of Vegas Gobbler Live and Candy Wheel at the core of Amusnet’s live offering in Barcelona, coinciding with the kick-off of the company’s 10th Anniversary
As Amusnet enters its 10th anniversary year in 2026, the company is reflecting on a decade of steady growth, international expansion, and a clear focus on building high-quality, technology-driven gaming experiences.
That journey was evident at ICE Barcelona, where Amusnet showcased its evolution as a fully integrated, multi-vertical provider. The Live Casino segment took centre stage, presented alongside the company’s complete vertical portfolio. The addition of Vegas Gobbler Live to the Live Slot Games category and Candy Wheel to the Live Game Show vertical sent a strong signal to operators. Both titles combine distinctive themes, high production values, and studio-driven entertainment designed to maximise player engagement.
Marin Dimitrov, Head of Live Casino at Amusnet, commented: “We see game shows becoming an increasingly important part of the Live Casino ecosystem. Players are looking for immersive, entertaining environments that offer escapism. Vegas Gobbler Live and Candy Wheel bring together strong thematic identity, live interaction, and modern presentation formats to drive engagement and extend session time.”
Bonus Platform and promotional tools add further value for operators, enabling flexible and market-adapted player journeys within Live Casino environments. The Live-focused solutions showcased include Golden Chips, which allow direct in-game rewards during live sessions, and the Tournament Tool, designed to boost competition, engagement, and retention through structured live events. Together, these tools support dynamic incentive strategies while giving operators full control and adaptability across campaigns.
Released at the Barcelona exhibition, Vegas Gobbler Live marks a milestone in Amusnet’s Live Slot Games portfolio. Featuring the charismatic character Oscar the Gobbler, the game transports players to the dazzling atmosphere of Las Vegas.
Dimitrov explained: “Players are immersed in a live-hosted experience where elegant visuals meet thrilling gameplay. Poker suitcases fill with chips to trigger the Hold & Win feature, while Mystery symbols unlock additional surprises. The three poker chips—Collect, Multi, and Extra—add depth and excitement. When the grid is completely filled, the Gobbler Chip Multiplier is activated, boosting total wins by up to 5x.”
In December, Amusnet expanded its live offering with the launch of Eye of Ra Roulette 2000x. The game blends classic roulette gameplay with powerful multiplier mechanics, set against a striking Ancient Egypt-themed backdrop.
A standout feature of Eye of Ra Roulette 2000x is the outside multiplier, a unique functionality currently exclusive to Amusnet on the market, offering players enhanced winning potential beyond traditional inside bets.
Dimitrov added: “Each round is hosted by a professional presenter who guides players through the action with confidence and charisma. High-quality streaming, vivid animations,
dynamic camera angles, and immersive sound design bring the ancient theme to life while delivering a premium live experience.”
Also attracting strong interest was Candy Wheel, a vibrant live game show built around a colourful wheel divided into 50 dynamic sectors, each offering different payout opportunities. Players place bets on six exciting sectors, also known as tickets, predicting where the wheel will stop.
A key gameplay element is the Candy Ticket, which functions as a free bet for the player’s next round, adding an extra layer of reward and retention to the experience.
Hosted by a live presenter, Candy Wheel unfolds in real time with crystal-clear streaming and multiple camera angles. The presenter keeps the energy high, announces results, interacts with players, and transforms every spin into an entertaining live show.
While visually rich game shows attract attention at industry events, classic live casino games remain the strongest revenue drivers.
Dimitrov explained: “Roulette, Blackjack, and Baccarat continue to be our baseline performers. Enhanced formats are growing because they increase interaction and replayability, while game shows expand the audience through entertainment-led mechanics. Localisation is a major performance multiplier. Local language, presentation style, and market-relevant themes build trust and significantly improve adoption.”
As part of its continued international expansion, Amusnet has confirmed it will enter the Greek and Italian markets in 2026, while also strengthening its presence across existing territories. In parallel, the company is moving forward with secured expansion plans in Latin America, identifying the region as a key strategic growth market.
In a highly competitive landscape, Dimitrov highlighted execution as Amusnet’s core differentiator: “We differentiate through execution, premium production quality, clear presentation, and a visually strong, easy-to-follow player experience. For operators, we focus on smooth integration, stability, and flexibility, because customisation and localisation are now baseline requirements.”
He concluded: “Player behaviour data guides decisions around pacing, UI clarity, and engagement mechanics that directly impact retention. Operator feedback shapes commercial and operational priorities, from limits and table configurations to scalability. By continuously adapting to regional performance and player expectations, our goal is measurable improvement in retention and cross-sell, supported by powerful operator-facing tools such as bonuses and tournaments.”
