2026 iGaming Trends Report: SOFTSWISS’s Most Anticipated Release

Among the most important events in the iGaming industry this year will be the release of the 2026 iGaming Trends Report. The launch will take place on 5 November at Stage 2: People, Partners & Performance, as part of the 2026 iGaming Trends Marathon – a four-hour programme of keynotes and panel discussions. The report delivers an in-depth look at the technologies, regulations, and market dynamics shaping the future of iGaming.

This year’s edition, prepared by SOFTSWISS in collaboration with Next.io, will not only provide expert perspectives but also allow participants to be among the very first to access the report directly and hear exclusive insights from its creators and industry leaders.

At Stand 4016 G, SOFTSWISS will host a spectacular pit-stop style live show: the step-by-step assembly of an Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition. Throughout the process, experts will show how racing technologies like sensors, AI, telemetry, and automation mirror the principles behind SOFTSWISS products – from real-time analytics to scalable platforms.

Partners and visitors are welcome to the SOFTSWISS Stand 4016 G to take part in the live car assembly experience, explore innovative solutions, and discuss the key findings of the 2026 iGaming Trends Report.

The game runs on a 3×3 layout with 5 paylines. The Jaguar Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols, increasing your chances of winning. Its standout feature, Respins Until Win, triggers when 3 Wilds land on the middle reel – the first and third reels keep respinning until a win occurs, adding a layer of anticipation to every spin.

Jaguar Dojo works seamlessly on web and mobile, and is available in more than 20 languages. Bets range from EUR 0.02 to EUR 100, with a maximum multiplier of x1000 and an RTP of 96.30%.

With smooth animations, intuitive controls, and a clear layout, the game is easy to pick up and enjoy. Operators can integrate Jaguar Dojo today through their PopOK Gaming representative or standard channels, and players can start exploring it now on all supported platforms.

Singapore focuses on AI for gambling compliance, with protection focus pushing local punter numbers down

Singapore’s citizens and permanent residents gambled less in 2024, with only about 2.8 percent of the population visiting casinos in the territory, according to the city-state’s Gambling Regulatory Authority.

The amount equates to about 94,000 adults, dropping from 99,000 the previous year. And it doesn’t only refer to sporadic gamblers.

The GRA annual report notes that ‘the number of entry levies purchased by SCPRs also continued to trend downwards, with the number of annual levy holders decreasing from about 7,100 to about 6,700.’

This is good news in regards to problem gambling control measures and government efforts to mitigate gambling harm. It is expected to be boosted by further regulatory framework approaches, including a push to “embrace new technologies, adapt data-driven approaches and recalibrate our regulatory strategies to address emerging challenges,” notes the GRA Chairman Tan Tee How.

Keeping operators in check

The GRA Chairman echoed the regulator’s approach towards intense oversight of gaming companies, citing the cases in Australia where operators stepped beyond the bounds.

GRA, Gambling Regulatory Auhtority, Singapore

“The casino license renewals this year demonstrate our commitment to this compliance-first approach: Our decision to issue a shortened license tenure to Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) in February 2025 underscores our resolve to use effective regulatory levers to ensure the casino operators meet high regulatory standards while continuing to develop as world-class integrated resorts”.

Data as power

But this can only be done with a tech-forward approach, something that the Merlion city has been renowned for.

“We have significantly enhanced our sensemaking capabilities through investing in data analytics and data visualization tools. These tools enable us to gain richer insights such as to better detect patterns, identify trends, and anticipate potential regulatory concerns.”

“For instance, GRA has developed a model to predict casino visitorship trends so as to enable efficient and effective deployment of GRA’s resources at the casinos. GRA has also engaged gambling operators to collect and analyze data on new bet types to better assess if strategies to divert illegal gambling to legal channels have been effective,” indicated the Chairman.

The city, and the regulator, is aiming to integrate generative Artificial Intelligence AI models “to strengthen our risk-based decision-making and automate compliance monitoring”, with hopes that AI can be deployed “across all facets of GRA’s operations”.

Fix the problem before it arises

Singapore has been very highly focused on crafting and implementing legislation before there are consequences. No gaming industry is perfect, but Singapore is lauded as one of the best, and its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) updates have placed it in the top echelon.

Its increase in fees for locals to enter the casinos also helped tamper down problem gaming possibilities, evidenced by the low gambling addiction rate in the city.

So what’s next? AI appears to be the main focus, but the GRA’s goals also encompass a desire to “continue to build a shared purpose and ethos, and remain dedicated to upholding our mission of protecting the people of Singapore from gambling harms”.

It will also act as the main body for the registration of Esports and social games, meaning, all titles have to be recognized under the National Sports Governance Act of 2025. A list of relevant online social games and Esports will be maintained and published, while a list of online games deemed to be linked to online money games will also be compiled.

That means any legitimate game service provider will have to make an application under the authority, getting a certificate of registration which is valid for up to five years.

Play’n GO’s mission is to ‘create innovative and entertaining gaming experiences everywhere’. We are excited to expand the definition of ‘everywhere’ to include land-based casinos for the first time.”

“Genting have been a brilliant partner throughout this project and we’re looking forward to working closely with their fantastic teams to build on this initial UK-facing rollout to ensure it’s a success.”

“The vision for our new land-based business is distinctly Play’n GO flavoured – ambitious, innovative, and meticulously planned to meet the business challenges and opportunities of the future. We think there is an opportunity for 10s of thousands of cabinets featuring Play’n GO content globally.”

Stuart Armstrong, Product Director at Genting added: “Differentiation in a crowded land-based casino sector is vital. The launch of our new and exclusive BOOM slots product gives Genting a compelling gaming experience that no other casino can offer. Play’n GO’s reputation in the industry is second to none, and through this partnership we’ve been able to witness firsthand their agility and innovation to help bring this product to life.”

“We know from our trial period that Play’n GO’s well known online casino content is attractive to players in land-based spaces too and we can’t wait to roll this out to all of our UK properties soon.”
