(AsiaGameHub) -   Habanero, a premier developer of slots and table games, has introduced Prosperity Horse, a high-volatility 7×5 slot centered on expanding features and progressive win mechanics. Featuring 28 to 58 paylines, the game embraces classic themes of luck and fortune, blending Asian-inspired aesthetics with gameplay that escalates from the base game into the bonus round, building toward a thrilling climax. The core of the game is the Prosperity Horse Wild, which locks in place during winning combinations and activates a multiplier that grows with every extra Wild. Instead of resetting between spins, multipliers build up through Multiplier Gates that appear randomly on the reels, revealing significant win potential. Additionally, the Red Envelope mechanic is active across the reels, granting instant cash rewards or transforming into high-value symbols, adding further excitement to both the base game and free spins. Triggering the Free Spins feature requires landing three or more scatter symbols. In this round, expanding symbols occur more often and multipliers keep rising, giving players the chance to secure larger wins as the game advances. Prosperity Horse also incorporates Habanero’s engagement suite, including Jackpot Race™ and the Buy Feature, enabling operators to customize the experience for various player demographics. This launch reinforces Habanero’s commitment to providing high-volatility content with dynamic mechanics that captivate players across global markets. Speaking about the launch, Toni Karapetrov, Head of Corporate Communications at Habanero, stated: Prosperity Horse is founded on a clear set of mechanics that are easy to grasp yet offer substantial potential as the game unfolds. The blend of expanding symbols and multipliers ensures players feel a consistent sense of progression throughout each session, while still delivering the high volatility that many players seek.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Greentube, the interactive division of NOVOMATIC, has unveiled Piggy Prizes Railroad Rumble, which marks the newest addition to its popular Piggy Prizes slot franchise. Operating on a 5x3 reel layout, the game features coin and piggy pot symbols. These symbols can be gathered and improved when a cowboy symbol appears on the central reel, which functions as a wild and activates various features, such as coin drops that contribute to the piggy pots and have the potential to grant Free Games. According to Greentube, a Gold Train feature has the capability to increase and enhance coin values while simultaneously filling the piggy pots. Once the pots reach their maximum capacity, the game may initiate Super Free Games. The company stated that during Free Games, the cowboy symbol stays fixed, whereas in Super Free Games, the Gold Train remains sticky on the middle reel. This title also incorporates Magic Spin and Magic Rewind modifiers, which Greentube explained can either secure the cowboy or Gold Train on the central reel or offer an additional opportunity to hit symbols or jackpots. Furthermore, a Bonus Buy feature is accessible within the base game, activating the bonus round upon use. Richard Ganster, Greentube's Director of Games Strategy and Games Portfolio Management, commented: “The Piggy Prizes series has emerged as a prominent success for us, thanks to its capacity to develop while retaining the fundamental mechanics that players appreciate. In Piggy Prizes Railroad Rumble, we have implemented a more dynamic configuration and a multi-layered feature set designed to boost both player engagement and replay value. “By blending established mechanics with novel modifiers, we are able to maintain a fresh experience for our current fanbase, simultaneously drawing new players to the franchise.” This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   According to a recent report covering April 2025 to April 2026, Romania’s National Office for Gambling (ONJN) intensified its focus on strengthening enforcement measures and safeguarding players during its inaugural year of activity. Leveraging new powers granted by updated legislation, the ONJN has blacklisted over 300 unlicensed websites and issued more than 60 orders to remove illegal content. Furthermore, the office launched inquiries into taxation and gross gaming revenues (GGR), which led to the revocation of 60 licenses and the submission of 70 criminal complaints. A state-funded initiative named “Aware and Free” was established by the ONJN as a preliminary responsible gambling program. With a budget of five million euros, the program addresses research, treatment, and prevention. The ONJN has processed a backlog of roughly 54,000 self-exclusion requests currently in the system. Additionally, it has suggested a consolidated framework featuring harsher penalties and more rigorous identity verification. Vlad-Cristian Soare, the president of the ONJN, stated: We have seen this year that change is achievable. It is not an easy path and is met with resistance. There have been obstacles and opposition, as well as efforts to hinder critical projects from both inside and outside the organization. However, the course has stayed true, projects remain ongoing, and the investigations and measures started must be seen to completion. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Betting brand Midnite has notched up a first for the global betting industry after placing a bet in space, as part of a campaign to highlight its cutting-edge digital capabilities. The company sent a custom-constructed device into the upper atmosphere, which climbed to 124,000 feet above ground. Fitted with a mechanical astronaut hand, the device successfully placed a live bet via the Midnite app, staking on England to win the FIFA World Cup at odds of 6/1. The campaign features former England midfielder Gareth Barry, and showcases the platform’s user-friendliness and innovative design. Callum Wilson, Senior PR Manager at Midnite, commented: By sending our app into space, we are demonstrating to our customers that we are truly Built Different. At Midnite, we have big ambitions to stand out from our competitors, and becoming the first app ever to place a bet in space felt like a great way to prove that. Our design and product teams are incredibly proud of the app we have built, and showcasing its capabilities in the stratosphere is a perfect reflection of where Midnite aims to go as a brand. Of course, the World Cup is a massive moment for sports fans all over the world, and excitement is building no matter where you are – whether that’s at home, abroad, or even in space! It was fantastic to work with Gareth Barry, whose confidence in Tuchel’s side led him to back England to win the World Cup, and if the bet comes in, Midnite will donate £10,000 to the Bobby Moore fund as part of this campaign. Gareth Barry, former England midfielder who represented his country at the 2010 World Cup, added: I’m confident this England side has everything it takes to win the World Cup. They now have plenty of major tournament experience, and they have a world-class manager to help them take that next step forward. Just like Midnite, I think this squad is Built Different, so I wanted to back them in a way that’s never been done before. Getting the chance to place a charity bet on England winning is great, but seeing Midnite actually pull this off in space is amazing. I couldn’t believe it when I watched the thumb move to place the bet in such a stunning setting. The app is clearly built different, working perfectly at that extreme height. I think England are too, which is why I believe they can go all the way. Midnite is making waves in the betting industry, and being part of a campaign like this where they keep pushing boundaries is something I’m really pleased to be involved in. The mission was delivered in partnership with Sent Into Space, as Midnite continues to establish itself as an innovation-led betting platform. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   The Netherlands’ gaming regulator, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has stepped in due to concerns about potential match-fixing linked to Holland Casino Online and Vbet offering bets on own goals. An external report examined the operators’ practice of offering bets on players scoring own goals; the KSA then reviewed the report’s conclusions and found that such bets violate permitted gambling categories because they are considered negative events with a greater likelihood of being manipulated. The investigation further revealed that Holland Casino Online and Vbet are the only licensed gambling providers in the Netherlands that have regularly permitted bets on own goal occurrences. Following contact from the KSA, both operators have removed own goal bets from their platforms and put in place measures to stop these bets from being reintroduced. The KSA observed that both operators were cooperative, addressed the issue quickly, and no further enforcement steps will be necessary. The KSA’s actions align with its Sports Betting Integrity Policy, released in December 2025, which outlines banned sports betting categories under Dutch legislation.

(AsiaGameHub) -   A New York jury has found in favor of Skillz in its legal dispute with Papaya Gaming, granting $420 million in damages. The jury also suggested potential disgorgement amounts of $719 million and $652 million, which Judge Denise Cote will evaluate before making a final ruling later this summer. Papaya retains the right to contest the verdict in post-trial motions, which could include requests for a mistrial or a lower judgment. Should the court determine a higher disgorgement figure, Skillz will have the option to select that amount instead of the damages award, but cannot collect both. Papaya responded to the verdict, stating: While Papaya respects the jury’s decision, we are disappointed with the outcome. We look forward to court review of the verdict. Papaya will continue to lead with integrity and transparency while remaining focused on our mission to deliver joy through exciting skilled‑based fair competition. The lawsuit centered on the differentiation between various kinds of skill-based games and how the two companies steer clear of being labeled as gambling. Regulators in numerous states have started to examine this distinction, though they are only in the early stages of actively investigating if such games constitute gambling, especially for app-based and arcade-style game companies. Skillz alleged that its business suffered a loss, including a drop in its share price, because Papaya misled the public by claiming it practiced fair matchmaking and definitively used bots for this purpose, while the two companies were not operating under the same principles. Following the verdict, Skillz shares experienced a significant surge. The company welcomed the outcome, stating: Skillz​ ​is​ ​pleased​ ​with​ ​the​ ​jury’s​ ​verdict​ ​and​ ​the​ ​actual​ ​damages​ ​award​ ​of​ ​$420​ ​million​ ​in​ ​our​ ​litigation​ ​against​ ​Papaya​ ​Gaming.​ ​Skillz​ ​proved​ ​at​ ​trial​ ​that​ ​Papaya​ ​used​ ​bots​ ​in​ ​its​ ​games,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​the​ ​issue​ ​at​ ​the​ ​core​ ​of​ ​Skillz’s​ ​claims​ ​around​ ​false​ ​advertising,​ ​deceptive​ ​trade​ ​practices​ ​and​ ​transparency​ ​in​ ​the​ ​skill-based​ ​gaming​ ​industry.​ ​Papaya​ ​conducted​ ​a​ ​multi-year​ ​campaign​ ​of​ ​fraud​ ​and​ ​false​ ​advertising​ ​that​ ​materially​ ​damaged​ ​Skillz​ ​and​ ​the​ ​skill-based​ ​gaming​ ​industry. The court's determination that Skillz's business is not a gambling operation triggered a major market rally for Skillz shares, which climbed from around $3.50 to approximately $13 before settling back to their current price. This volatility resulted in a total value increase for Skillz of roughly $420,023,235. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Evoplay has announced the release of Beanstalk Magic Treasures, a new slot game inspired by the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale, according to the studio. Taking place high above the clouds, the game features wild symbols and Free Spins activated by scatters. Bonus symbols can reveal cash prizes or one of three jackpots: MINI, MEGA, or SUPER. The developer stated that hitting six or more Bonus symbols triggers a Bonus Game that includes respins, prizes, and multipliers. According to Evoplay, the Bonus Game with Grand Reel begins with three spins, and the spin counter resets with every Bonus symbol that lands. The company noted that gathering 12 Bonus symbols activates the Grand Reel, which can provide instant rewards, multipliers, jackpot prizes, and a GRAND jackpot with a maximum value of 4,000 times the stake. In the Free Spins round, only high-paying symbols appear on the reels, and landing more scatter symbols can reactivate the feature, Evoplay said. The game also offers a Bonus Buy feature, enabling players to instantly access either the Free Spins or the Bonus Game. Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Beanstalk Magic Treasures is all about progression and anticipation, creating a feeling of climbing higher with every spin and knowing something bigger could be just around the corner. “We wanted to build a feature set that mirrors the story itself, where each step unlocks new possibilities, culminating in the Grand Reel moment. It’s a game that keeps players engaged not just through rewards, but through the journey it creates.” This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Belle Corporation’s latest report indicates a 12% rise ($10.48 million), with total earnings amounting to $7.98 million in the first quarter. Gaming and property-related operations contribute a substantial share of Belle’s overall income, as CODM remains the main driver. Belle earned an additional $9.70 million in lease income from the CODM site under a long-term lease with Melco Resorts and Entertainment (Philippines) Corporation. This pushed Belle’s total revenues to $23.3 million for Q1 FY2021, a 9 percent year-over-year increase. The revenue growth can be attributed to both gaming and non-gaming streams. Tagaytay Highlands’ revenue rose 57% to $2.4 million. The utilities segment also reported an 18 percent revenue increase, reaching $1.2 million. In contrast to Belle’s performance, Pacific Online Systems Corporation (POSC)—in which Premium Leisure holds a 50.1 percent stake—generated approximately $2.10 million in revenue, remaining consistent with the previous year. Despite Belle’s success, the broader gaming sector in the Philippines is under pressure from a surge in online gaming and shifting tourism patterns, which are negatively impacting land-based casino performance. Belle’s core asset remains CODM, supporting its unique operating model that combines gaming participation, lease revenue, and property development. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lawrence Ho said: We have also finished evaluating strategic alternatives for COD Manila. While we considered various options, none of them would fully realize the property’s value and potential. We are confident that business will rebound, and we may revaluate the situation in the futureem> This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Meta is facing a lawsuit from the Consumer Federation of America (CFA), which alleges the company has misled users regarding its management of fraudulent advertisements on Facebook and Instagram. The lawsuit contends that Meta permitted scam advertisements, including those promoting illegal gambling, in violation of consumer protection laws. The case centers on deceptive advertising practices rather than outright fraud, citing examples such as fake government payment notifications, "free iPhone" offers, and other misleading ads identified within Meta's ad library. Meta has refuted these accusations. Company spokesperson Chris Sgro stated that "these allegations misrepresent the reality of their work and they will fight them." According to Ben Winters, it remains easy to encounter objectionable advertisements. For instance, searches for ads related to terms like 'free phone' and 'stimulus check' revealed numerous questionable advertisements. An investigation also found that many active ads are being promoted in a manner that directs users to dubious financial schemes. However, Meta has not clarified whether these types of advertisements contravene their policies. The CFA is seeking compensatory damages, the return of alleged profits, and a revision of Meta's advertising policy enforcement. Winters believes that more stringent enforcement would help deter repeat offenders and prevent misleading advertisements from reaching users before they are exposed to them. Spokesperson Chris Sgro said: We aggressively combat scams across our platforms to protect people and businesses. Last year alone, we removed over 159 million scam ads, 92 percent of which we took down before anyone reported them, and took down 10.9 million accounts on Facebook and Instagram associated with criminal scam centers. Meta's substantial size has drawn increased scrutiny. Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are among the largest social networks in the United States, offering advertisers access to a vast audience. Internal documents reportedly indicate that Meta's platforms are a significant venue for global online scams, with one estimate suggesting it is "much easier to advertise scams on Meta platforms compared to Google." Another internal source estimates that approximately 10.1% of overall revenue, equating to roughly $16 billion, is derived from scam-related or prohibited advertising. Meta has characterized this figure as "a very rough estimate and overly broad." This article is provided by a third-party.
