(AsiaGameHub) -   High volatility action, an interactive player choice bonus system, and three grand jackpot tiers await in this immersive journey across the golden plains. ELA Games officially launches Spirit of Savanna, offering players an unforgettable adventure into the wild. Set against a sun-baked wilderness backdrop, this visually captivating slot invites exploration of the golden plains and the discovery of hidden riches. The title introduces a unique strategic element by allowing players to shape their path to victory through a dynamic bonus selection mechanism. A Fateful Choice in the Wild The game operates on a five-by-three reel layout with ten paylines, maintaining constant suspense throughout the base gameplay. The pivotal moment occurs when a majestic Wild symbol completes a winning combination. Instead of triggering a preset feature automatically, this alignment presents players with a critical decision between two distinct routes to success—either activating seven Free Spins or entering the intense Hold and Win bonus round. Intrepid Gameplay and Legendary Jackpots Regardless of the chosen path, the experience intensifies thanks to the Repeat Win feature. This mechanic retains the value of the initial triggering win and applies it to every spin within the bonus round, unlocking substantial reward potential in the game’s highly volatile setting. The Free Spins mode can also be retriggered using the same Wild symbol logic, ensuring continuous action. Players aiming for the ultimate prize will encounter three separate jackpot tiers. To claim the Grand Jackpot, hunters must locate two rare Antelopes; alternatively, conquering the wild is possible by fully filling any row with coins during the Hold and Win feature. Only the most determined players will overcome these primal challenges and secure the treasure of the beast king. Game Stats: Reels: 5×3 Paylines: 10 RTP: 93.98-94.16%, 96.01-96.12% Volatility: 4 out of 5 Special Features: Hold and Win, Free Spins, Repeat Win, Player Choice Jackpots: 3 Tiers This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   George Weaver and Wesley Ward are aiming for the Royal Ascot route on Saturday at Gulfstream Park, where the $125,000 Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies leads a card featuring two five-furlong turf races for 2-year-olds. The victors of both the Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies and the $125,000 Royal Palm Juvenile earn automatic entries to one of six juvenile races at Royal Ascot (June 16-20) at Ascot Racecourse, along with a $25,000 travel allowance for horses. Weaver will present Easy Life, owned by R A Hill Stable, BlackRidge Stables LLC, and SGV Thoroughbreds. "To be honest, we're unsure if she performs better on turf or dirt, but we'll test her on turf to see if she can compete at Royal Ascot," said Weaver. Easy Life is a progeny of Life is Good and was acquired for $300,000 at the OBS March sale. J.G. Torrealba has been named as the jockey, and the filly sits at 6-1 on the morning line. Weaver will also field Automatic Press in the Royal Palm Juvenile. Ward is set to run Joker’s Chic for Twin Oaks Bloodstock LLC following a fourth-place finish in her debut race—a 4 ½-furlong maiden on dirt at Keeneland. “When she ran, I felt confident about her performance. Irad Oliveira had her perfectly positioned early on, yet she didn’t deliver the explosive move she showed at Palm Meadows,” Ward stated. “I informed the owner, 'This must be a grass filly.' If she regains that form from her work at Palm Meadows, she’ll be very difficult to beat.” Originally scheduled to ride, Joao Moreira is unavailable due to commitments in Hong Kong; Joe Bravo has taken over the mount, with Joker’s Chic also listed at 6-1. Dew Sweepers’ Pot’s Right enters as the 2-1 morning-line favorite in the nine-horse field after securing victory in her debut at Keeneland on dirt. She will now race on turf under trainer Phillip Antonacci with Luis Saez as the jockey. Other notable entries include Arindel’s Boots, who won her last start by 3 ½ lengths at Gulfstream and is now trained by Carlos David, as well as two first-time starters from Mark Casse: D.J. Stable LLC’s Pros and Cons and Gary Barber’s Sass Sass. This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Gaming Corps – a publicly-listed game development company based in Sweden – is launching its latest slot, 4 Gym Pigs: Porky Power, on 7 May. The new release brings a vibrant addition to the portfolio, replacing traditional treasure hunts with training-focused action, larger-than-life characters and gym-fueled excitement under the summer sun. Set within an open-air gym and featuring four ambitious bodybuilding pigs vying for glory instead of gold, 4 Gym Pigs: Porky Power operates on a 4×6 grid with 1024 ways to win. The game incorporates workout-themed symbols and introduces the Hog & Win feature, which forms the core of the gameplay experience with the intensity of a heavy bench press session. The Hog & Win mechanic offers a playful twist on the classic Hold & Win format. It can be activated by Red, Yellow, Blue or Beast Pig Coins, each unlocking a distinct mode – Boost, Collect, Multi and Beast. The Yellow Pig gathers Prize Coin values, while the Blue Pig applies multipliers up to x5 across the grid. Red Pig Coins transform into Weight Prize symbols ranging from Mini to Mega. Beast Mode expands the grid to 5×6, enhances the pigs’ abilities, and has the potential to award a special Grand Weight Prize. A fully filled grid triggers a massive 5,000x total bet payout. Free Spins offer another pathway to significant wins. Landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 Scatter Symbols grants up to 15 Free Spins. During Free Spins, any activated Hog & Win modes include additional respins, extending the feature and increasing the potential for bigger payouts. Viacheslav Pecheryni, Product Owner at Gaming Corps, commented: “4 Gym Pigs: Porky Power is incredibly fun. The concept was to blend over-the-top gym culture with the rebellious attitude of pigs to create a game that packs as much punch as leg day. Beyond its visual appeal, the gameplay is dynamic, especially when the various Hog & Win modes come into play, delivering genuine excitement and energy.” The release also features several supplementary options, including Random Mode Buy Bonus, Hot Bet, Coin Hunt and Gaming Corps’ proprietary Pulse Mode, an accelerated autoplay function designed to deliver a more focused and streamlined gaming experience.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Lottomatica's online gaming segment continued to drive growth in the first quarter, helping the company achieve modest gains in gross gaming revenue (GGR) despite weaker results in sports betting. Italy.- The operator reported Q1 GGR of €1.25bn, a rise of 2 per cent year-on-year for the period ending 31 March. Profit rose 3 per cent to €602m, while adjusted EBITDA climbed 7 per cent to €236m. The online segment was the standout performer, with revenue rising 10 per cent year-on-year to €264.7m. This offset a 5 per cent drop in sports betting revenue, which fell to €142.4m. Although betting volumes grew by 11 per cent to €12.4bn, unfavourable payouts weighed on returns. The operator’s share of Italy’s online market rose by 1.4 points to 31.8 per cent. Its online sports betting share rose by 0.7 points to 32.5 per cent and its igaming share by 1.9 points to 32.2 per cent. As for the PlanetWin365 (PWO) brand, the rebranded SKS365, which Lottomatica bought for €639m in April 2024, its sports betting share recovered to 9 per cent, returning to pre-migration levels. PWO’s igaming share rose to 5.5 per cent, regaining half of the ground lost during the transition to Lottomatica’s proprietary platform. CEO and chairman Guglielmo Angelozzi highlighted the company’s position across its markets, stating that Lottomatica is on track to hit the upper end of its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance of €940–980m. He also confirmed plans to return up to €1bn to shareholders across 2026 and 2027. On the investor call, he also downplayed the threat posed by prediction markets, describing them as a “non-issue” due to their illegality in Italy and limited consumer demand. “The product-consumer mismatch continues to be strong. We don’t believe there is market space,” he said. This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

(AsiaGameHub) -   The proposal passed the House in a 65-21 vote. US.- The Oklahoma Legislature has approved Senate Bill 1589, a measure that would ban online sweepstakes-style casinos. Sponsored by Senator Gollihare, the bill passed the House with a 65-21 vote after receiving unanimous support in the Senate in March. It is now headed to Governor Kevin Stitt for his consideration. The legislation expands the definition of gambling in Oklahoma to include "online casino games" accessible via computers, mobile phones, or tablets. Additionally, it updates the definition of a "representative of value" to account for dual-currency systems that can be redeemed for cash, prizes, or their cash equivalent. Under the proposed law, individuals who operate, conduct, or support such games—whether as operators, employees, geolocation providers, platform suppliers, promoters, or media affiliates—would face Class C2 felony charges, with fines ranging from $500 to $2,000. Oklahoma Senate rejects sports betting bill In April, the Oklahoma Senate voted down House Bill 1047, which sought to legalize sports betting in the state. The motion failed by a margin of 27-21. HB 1047, introduced by Representative Ken Luttrell and Senator Bill Coleman, aimed to permit tribes to offer both in-person and online sports betting under the State-Tribal Gaming Act of 2004, which grants tribes exclusive control over gaming operations. Although the bill had been approved by the House of Representatives, it did not advance further. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Lawmakers are divided on which ministry should oversee gambling regulation in Ukraine. A Ukrainian legislator has cautioned that transferring responsibility for gambling regulation from the Ministry of Digital Transformation to the Ministry of Finance could introduce more complications than solutions. Nina Yuzhanina, a member of the European Solidarity party, opposes Draft Bill No. 15111-d, currently being drafted by the Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy. The proposed legislation is tied to Ukraine’s obligations to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which mandates the government to monitor and report on how digital revenues are taxed. However, Yuzhanina criticized committee chair Danylo Hetmantsev’s handling of the process, pointing out that deputies submitted 3,529 amendments prior to the bill’s second reading. Hetmantsev has publicly criticized the Ministry of Digital Transformation’s management of gambling regulation, especially its rollout of the new national gambling monitoring system for Ukraine. The platform, which supplies real-time data to the gambling regulator PlayCity, launched its initial phase in April and is anticipated to be fully functional by year-end. Nevertheless, Hetmantsev claims that delays may result in annual losses to the treasury of up to UAH 20 billion (€385 million). He maintains that the Ministry of Finance is better equipped to regulate gambling, which he describes as a crucial sector of Ukraine’s economy. Nonetheless, Hetmantsev has faced accusations of a conflict of interest due to previous connections with the gambling industry. Local media have reported that he once held shares in MSL, a lottery operator accused in 2015 of involvement in cross-border money laundering between Ukraine and Russia alongside another operator, Patriot. Mykhailo Aksyonov, Deputy Head of PlayCity’s Anti-Corruption Expert Group, has also voiced concerns about the proposed transfer of authority. In an interview with 24 Channel, he stated: “Regardless of who initiated this amendment and what the underlying motives are, the very concept of transferring powers at this time appears too high a risk. “If we proceed with shifting policymaking responsibilities from the Ministry of Digital Transformation to the Ministry of Finance—while simultaneously establishing a new regulatory body—the rollout of the state Online Monitoring System could be postponed by at least one year. And it is precisely this system that serves as the primary instrument ensuring the transparency of gambling operators’ activities.” Both MSL and PJSC Patriot were awarded new lottery contracts earlier this year; however, Patriot lost its license in late March, less than a month after receiving it. The revocation followed reports from the State Bureau of Investigation indicating that the company did not meet legal requirements regarding ownership. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   The research challenges industry claims of severe economic fallout from the British Gambling Act review. UK.- The 2023 gambling white paper, High Stakes: Gambling Reform for the Digital Age, proposed a series of enhanced regulatory measures for gambling, including stake limits for online slots and the new mandatory gambling levy imposed a year ago. The document projected a cumulative impact on gross gambling yield to the tune of around £812m. A new study conducted by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) in collaboration with the University of Glasgow, examined the potential wider consequences of this impact to estimate the net economic impact of the reduced gambling expenditure. The team used surveys, behavioural experiments and input-output analysis. They conclude that while the gambling industry may face reduced revenue, the broader economy is likely to absorb the impact through redirected consumer spending, challenging claims of severe economic fallout. Gamblers’ redirection of spending A probability survey of 1,320 regular gamblers informed the design of a discrete choice experiment, in which 804 participants indicated how they would reallocate a hypothetical £50 monthly budget no longer spent on gambling. The results were then applied to UK input-output tables from 2022 to assess sectoral impacts. The findings showed that only around £134m, about 16 per cent of the projected gross reduction, would translate into a net loss in UK output once consumer spending shifts were taken into account. Most participants said they would redirect spending toward essentials such as food, drink, household items, and debt repayment. Lead author Katherine Simpson of the University of Glasgow explained: “We looked at how people who gamble say they would adjust their spending if these reforms were introduced, and then we modelled what that means for the wider economy. What we find is that most of the money doesn’t disappear, it’s redirected elsewhere, so the overall economic impact is relatively limited.” The study also explored behavioural patterns. While the experimental sample skewed younger and included a higher proportion of problem gamblers, spending reallocations were consistent across different levels of gambling severity. Concerns about unlicensed gambling were also addressed. Although 73 per cent of online gamblers said they would not divert spending to unregulated operators, 8.5 per cent consistently did so in the experiment. The researchers noted that if 8 per cent of spending shifted to unlicensed gambling, net losses would rise to £189m, while a 27 per cent diversion would push losses to £317m. The report highlighted that online gambling has weaker domestic economic multipliers due to offshore supply chains. A modest reduction in the assumed multiplier could even eliminate the net loss entirely, potentially resulting in a small net gain, researchers said. “no necessary trade-off” Adrian Pabst, deputy director of NIESR, argued that the findings show gambling reforms should not be seen as a threat to economic growth. “There is no necessary trade-off between enhanced regulation and greater economic growth,” he claimed. “Our work shows that the new gambling regulations will have a very small negative impact on the UK economy and that there are potential benefits in terms of people who gamble regularly saving more or redirecting their consumption to other sectors. Industry fears about a massive hit to economic activity are overstated and also ignore the wider social benefits of the regulatory changes.” This article is provided by a third-party.
