SciPlay, the social games division of Light & Wonder, and Carnival Cruise Line announced a collaboration to launch the “Daily Cruise Giveaway” sweepstakes. From July 21 through August 4, 2025, the social casino game owned and operated by SciPlay entitled JACKPOT PARTY is giving players the chance to win a Carnival Cruise Line voucher (valid for two guests) every single day.

This partnership unites two established entertainment brands, blending the popular and wildly fun gaming experience of JACKPOT PARTY with the real-world vacation experiences offered by Carnival Cruise Line. Players 21 and older can enter the sweepstakes by downloading the JACKPOT PARTY mobile app and registering through the in-game sweepstakes portal. No purchase is necessary to enter or win.

JACKPOT PARTY delivers authentic casino-floor excitement through its wildly popular free-to-play mobile game. With over 100 million global downloads, it consistently ranks among the top-grossing mobile apps, offering thrilling virtual slots experiences. Key features include JACKPOT PARTY’S collection of authentic slot machines, prominently featuring fan favorites like HUFF N’ EVEN MORE PUFF, DANCING DRUMS LINK TREASURE, and INVADERS ATTACK FROM THE PLANET MOOLAH. All in-game coins are virtual, and the game does not offer real money gambling and is for entertainment only, with in-app purchases.

“This sweepstakes is a way for us to offer additional value to our players and connect their in-game enjoyment with tangible real-world experiences. Collaborating with a brand like Carnival Cruise Line, known for delivering memorable vacations, allows us to extend the fun beyond the screen and onto a cruise ship,” said Noga Halperin, Chief Revenue Officer of SciPlay.

Mirage Digital, the next-generation content studio shaping the future of digital entertainment, announced a groundbreaking partnership with global eSports organization Team Liquid. With over 35 million social media followers across platforms, 100+ championship titles with its over 120+ players and content creators worldwide, Team Liquid is the highest earning eSports team in the world to launch a 24/7 live-streaming programming experience surrounding the fan-favorite World of Warcraft: Race to World First event.

Mirage has created a new content monetization model for creators and enterprising entities, unlocking previously untapped non-traditional revenue streams. The company helps its clients with repurposing, redistributing, licensing, and selling content across numerous platforms and territories. Resulting in over a million dollars for its eclectic roster of over 300 creators, the company leverages its extensive creator network and expertise in original content development, to redefine digital content syndication. Mirage Digital is bridging the gap between creators and enterprise opportunities by sourcing high-quality content from creators and repurposing it for expanded deal flow and pipeline of distribution across OTT and FAST platforms.

Team Liquid, coming off a championship win in March, is set to make history with its most ambitious Race to World First campaign yet, with live coverage kicking off in July. For the first time, the tournament and its surrounding content will be broadcast beyond Twitch to OTT and FAST audiences, expanding access for new and longtime fans alike.

“This launch marks a huge moment not just for Team Liquid, but for the future of all eSports and creator content. We’re unlocking a format that merges always-on content with world-class competitive play, giving fans a reason to tune in every hour of every day. This is a monumental moment for both television networks and eSports to recognize the boundaries they are breaking in both parallels,” said Griffin Haddrill, Founder of Mirage Digital.

The multi-day broadcast includes full tournament coverage alongside exclusive behind-the-scenes content, player profiles, real-time strategy breakdowns, and each day’s highlights – providing an unprecedented level of access to Team Liquid’s journey and personalities within the event.

Team Liquid will bring its world-renowned Race to World First event to new audiences with a livestream on The Roku Channel in late August. Widely regarded as one of the most thrilling competitions in MMORPG gaming, Race to World First draws millions of global viewers eager to watch elite teams battle for supremacy in World of Warcraft. Known for pushing the boundaries of eSports entertainment, Team Liquid is once again innovating – this marks the first time the iconic event will be available via a dedicated OTT streaming platform, giving fans an even more immersive viewing experience.

“This collaboration is the result of our mission to re-imagine where and how gaming and creator content lives. All parties saw an opportunity to take one of the most anticipated eSports events of the year and expand its reach to new audiences through OTT and FAST distribution. This is about creating long-term value for teams, fans, and platforms alike—and Race to World First is just the beginning,” said Robin Bigge, Co-CEO of Mirage Digital.

“This is a historic evolution in how we bring eSports to the world. We’ve built a legacy on competitive excellence, and this partnership lets us showcase the heart, hustle, and humanity of our players in a way we’ve never done before—24/7, across every screen,” said Claire Hungate, President & COO of Team Liquid.

This moment also marks the first time Team Liquid has programmed content specifically for a FAST Channel, a move that speaks to the maturation and crossover appeal of eSports for general audiences.

T-Mobile Arena, the 20,000-seat venue located on the Las Vegas Strip between New York-New York and Park MGM, in an agreement with Everi, an IGT brand and premier provider of land-based and digital casino gaming content and products, financial technology, player loyalty solutions and bingo, announced the launch of a new, dedicated venue app for its eventgoers.

The newly designed T-Mobile Arena App is now available in the App Store and Google Play. The initial launch includes the ability for users to buy and manage tickets; view event schedules offering a “save to calendar” feature and explore an interactive venue map while allowing the venue to deploy in-app marketing through various forms of messaging including push; fan segmentation for experiences; and provide additional offers and promotions. The app is designed to enhance the fan experience for marquee events held at the arena throughout the year – Vegas Golden Knights games, UFC, concerts, award shows, and much more. T-Mobile Arena guests can download the app and receive access to ticketing account linking through an integration with AXS that will enable the seamless management, purchase and transferring of tickets.

This collaboration is part of Everi’s strategic expansion into sports and entertainment, following its acquisition of the assets of Venuetize in 2023, and builds upon the successful deployment of the Vegas Golden Knights mobile app and Gulfstream Park Racing mobile app, which also utilizes Everi’s BeOn Venue platform. The app launch highlights the growth of Everi’s relationship with MGM Resorts International from the gaming and hospitality spaces into sports and entertainment. Everi’s expanding presence in its hometown of Las Vegas includes collaborations with the Vegas Golden Knights and Las Vegas Ballpark.

Max Bizzarro, T-Mobile Arena’s General Manager, said: “Our partnership with Everi has presented a tremendous opportunity to introduce a new, redesigned T-Mobile Arena app. Eventgoers will enjoy a more user-friendly navigation experience featuring effortless digital ticketing through AXS, labeled food and beverage offerings, upcoming event information, among other amenities. The app’s exclusive content also will be more readily available to fans each time they log on.”

Darren Simmons, IGT CEO FinTech, said: “We are proud to build on Everi’s reputation and prior work in the Sports & Entertainment space with the launch of the new T-Mobile Arena App. Since opening over nine years ago, T-Mobile Arena has consistently proven its ability to deliver a world-class entertainment experience for fans, regardless of the event. Utilizing Everi’s best-in-class BeOn Venue platform, T-Mobile Arena can further engage arena patrons with a seamless, self-service mobile experience through the new app.”
