GROVER GAMING BETS BIG ON OHIO CHARITIES

Published

Matt Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Light & Wonder

 

Grover Gaming announced that it is officially seeking licensure from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office to both manufacture and distribute Electronic Instant Bingo devices to charities, fraternals, and other nonprofit organizations in Ohio.

Grover has made sizable investments already in Ohio. According to Wil Riesgard, Vice President of Operations for Grover Gaming, “We have had a large distribution center here in Columbus for a while and are currently adding another office/warehouse in the northeast part of the state. We will very soon have over fifty employees just in the State of Ohio including a dedicated marketing team.”

“We are already licensed as a Bingo Supply Manufacturer in Ohio, but we have also applied for the separate Distributor license and the Electronic Instant Bingo endorsement to each of those licenses,” said Dorwin “DL” Howard, Compliance and Licensing Specialist at Grover Gaming. “The Ohio Attorney General’s Office, by law, cannot issue any of those licenses until April 1, 2022, but we hope to receive our endorsements on that date or soon after. We do anticipate that they will issue licenses to every manufacturer and distributor entitled to a license at the same time to avoid giving an advantage to one or the other.”

“We cannot offer any proposals to any potential customers in Ohio until we receive those endorsements,” stated Marc Downing, Chief Counsel and Director of Compliance for Grover. “But we do have a plan.”

“We intend to bring the same industry leading software and hardware that has been so successful for our charitable customers in states like VirginiaNorth DakotaNew Hampshire, and Kentucky,” stated Garrett Blackwelder, President and owner of Grover Gaming. “We are fortunate to be the leader in all those markets by a large margin, and in Virginia and New Hampshire we distribute our products directly to our customers. By distributing our own product, we are able to deal directly with the charities which streamlines our customer service and takes it to an even higher level. This will allow us to further our mission of providing entertaining gaming experiences through a team committed to growth and progress.”

Not only will Grover distribute its own product, but they also intend to place Electronic Instant Bingo equipment and supply Electronic Instant Bingo tickets without requiring any long-term commitments from the charities and fraternals in Ohio. “We will not be requiring contracts of any kind from the charities,” stated Jimmy Forrest, Vice President of Sales for Grover. “We want to earn your business by providing the best performing games and world class service, not because we lock you down with a piece of paper.”

Forrest continued, “another market changing innovation is the integration of our redemption kiosks. With this kiosk a player can just insert their ticket and get cash without having to see an attendant to redeem their winnings. In Virginia, not only has security drastically increased, but we have also seen an increase in net revenue to the charities of over 15% in some locations.” Grover plans to offer those kiosks free of charge along with the biggest selection of custom game terminals.

Grover Gaming develops software, game content, and gaming systems for lotteries and charitable gaming jurisdictions, and is licensed in Ohio, New Hampshire, Kentucky, North Dakota, South DakotaMontana, Wyoming, Washington, Ontario Canada, and Virginia. Based in Greenville, NC, Grover Gaming has over 360 employees across nine states including a design studio in Wilmington, NC and a Software Development Center in Chicago, IL.

The company is also a 3-year Inc 5000 award recipient, recognizing the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States and was recently honored with a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award. Glassdoor ranked Grover Gaming Number 2 in its Best Places to Work list in 2022 among companies across the US with less than 1,000 employees.

Published

on

 

WA. Technology, the global iGaming solutions provider, has launched its Pick’Em player props product globally, centred on countries across Asia-Pacific, Africa and LatAm, with a particular focus on Brazil.

The newly released tool is designed to put the player at the centre of the wagering experience to bridge the gap between fans and sports.

With increased demand from casual fans for player-focused betting experiences, Pick’Em combines sports betting with fantasy gaming, focusing fully on individual player performance.

Offering between two and six markets across a variety of sports, the numerous benefits for operators include higher margins gained through users combining multiple players from different sports. With the differential from traditional sports betting, operators have the chance to gain an edge over competitors by using the tool.

There is also the opportunity for increased marketing through the creation of engaging and memorable campaigns related to Pick’Em.

Bettors can access a wealth of sports and betting markets, such as goals and assists in football, and then predict whether each player will be over or under their selected line in the specified market.

There are two ways users can opt to play – ‘Power Play’, where every selection must win, or ‘Flex Play’, where it will be settled as a winner even if one selection loses. Users can win up to 25 times their stake with accurate choices.

Users can even combine player picks from multiple sports in a single entry, which creates a unique cross-sport experience that brings them closer to their favourite stars.

As fan behavior shifts toward tracking individual players and athletes over teams, Pick’Em offers an intuitive and rewarding way for users to engage with the sports they love.

Pick’Em also addresses the key challenge in the sports betting world of the learning curve for new users and the lack of personalised, player-focused options. Unlike traditional betting formats that rely on team outcomes and complex odds, Pick’Em delivers a streamlined experience where fans simply predict whether individual players will go over or under specific stat lines.

The simplicity of Pick’Em means there are no confusing odds, instead, there are clear player predictions, which keeps it interesting, fun, and rewarding for both casual fans and more experienced bettors compared with traditional sports betting.

By combining a simple user interface with the excitement of predicting player outcomes, Pick’Em creates a fun, engaging, and rewarding experience that keeps users coming back for more.

Commenting on the launch, Will Booth, Product Owner at WA. Technology said: “With the global sports and fantasy sports industry projected to reach $230 billion by 2030. Rapid mobile adoption across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Africa is driving demand for simple, engaging, and player-focused betting tools like Pick’Em.

“Generations of adults have been brought up playing more fantasy-led sports games, and WA. Technology’s newest launch makes sports betting appear more relatable without the overwhelming feeling that newer gamblers often get.

“Pick’Em makes sports more exciting and personal for bettors, and opens up the opportunity for casual fans to feel more involved. Demand shows that fans today care more about player performance than ever before. Pick’Em taps directly into that passion, turning it into an easy, thrilling game that anyone can play.”

Push Gaming makes landmark US debut in Michigan with BetMGM

 

B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming has officially entered the United States, launching its highly anticipated content in Michigan through a landmark exclusive collaboration with leading operator BetMGM.

The milestone debut marks a significant step in Push Gaming’s global growth strategy, bringing its distinctive, player-first approach to one of North America’s most dynamic iGaming jurisdictions.

BetMGM players in Michigan can soon enjoy a selection of launch titles from Push Gaming, including the highly anticipated Big Bamboo and the action-packed 10 Flaming Bisons. The latter made a strong debut in December 2024 and quickly became a fan favourite across the network.

Additionally, Push Gaming will launch a number of exclusive titles for BetMGM, incorporating MGM Resorts International’s IP, such as MGM Grand Gamble, MGM Emerald Nights and Bellagio Diamonds, alongside Push Gaming’s portfolio of popular titles, ensuring a steady stream of fresh, localised content.

The market entry signals the beginning of Push Gaming’s US journey, with its content exclusively available on BetMGM, uniting two forward-thinking brands that share a deep focus on entertainment, innovation and long-term player engagement.

Widely recognised as a key driver of US iGaming growth, Michigan recorded over $218.5 million in gross internet gaming revenue in March 2025, according to the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB).  With strong smartphone adoption, a loyal player base, and a commitment to innovation, the state provides the ideal launchpad for Push Gaming’s long-term ambitions in the country.

The addition of Push Gaming’s proven and popular titles will strengthen an already flourishing market and offer players fresh and compelling gaming experiences.

Push Gaming’s launch in Michigan directly builds on the successful collaboration established with BetMGM in Ontario. Working as a precursor, it demonstrates the robust nature of the relationship across North American markets.

Andy Bentley, COO at Push Gaming, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be live in the US, and Michigan is the perfect place to start. It’s a hugely important and vibrant market, and we’re proud to launch exclusively with BetMGM, one of the region’s most respected and established operators.”

“This launch is more than just a milestone. It’s a strategic step towards establishing Push Gaming as a market leader in North America. By building on our strong collaboration with BetMGM and delivering standout content, we’re confident we can grow a loyal and engaged player base in the US.”

Oliver Bartlett, Vice President of Gaming Product & Content at BetMGM, added: “A pillar of our content strategy is partnering with exceptional game suppliers like Push Gaming, who have a reputation for high-quality games that have proven to be a hit with players.

“We take pride in being the first operator to bring Push Gaming’s content to the United States, especially in a leading iGaming market like Michigan.”

As BetMGM continues to expand into new markets and introduce new features, responsible gaming remains a key focus. The major brand is continually evolving its commitment to providing resources that help customers play responsibly, including GameSense, an industry-leading programme developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation.

Through the integration within BetMGM’s mobile and desktop platforms, customers can receive the same GameSense experience they have grown to rely on at MGM Resorts properties nationwide. This complements BetMGM’s existing responsible gambling tools, which provide customers with an entertaining and safe digital experience.
