Games Global and AreaVegas Games unleash the mythical beast in Area Link™ Dragon

Games Global’s exclusive studio AreaVegas Games has launched Area Link™ Dragon, the latest title in its popular Area Link™ series that captivates players with its stunning mythical design and plethora of features.
Set against a volcanic backdrop, the 5×3 reelset is adorned with vibrant gemstones, treasure chests, and fireballs, all spinning by under the watchful eye of the dragon.
The Area Link™ feature takes centre stage, with each varying colour of fireball responsible for cracking one of the four dragon eggs, in turn triggering a unique lock and re-spin bonus round. These are activated at random when one or more fireballs land on the reels, elevating the suspense of each spin and truly enhancing the player experience.
With each bonus round, the player will be awarded three re-spins and tasked with landing as many fireball symbols as possible. Each comes with a monetary value and will remain sticky throughout the re-spins. Every time an additional fireball symbol lands, the number of re-spins will reset to three.
Cracking the green dragon egg will result in a random multiplier of x2, x3, or x5 applied to each new fireball that lands, boosting the winning potential. Activating the purple egg will reward players with an additional Area Link™ grid that plays out independently, offering more opportunities to win.
The red dragon upgrade leads to the collection of all yellow fireball symbols, while triggering the blue upgrade will see the monetary values added to every fireball symbol that lands. In addition, filling the entire grid with fireball symbols will land players the Grand Jackpot.
AreaVegas Games’ new release builds on an expanding portfolio of titles that benefit from the Area Link™ feature, including fan-favourites Area Link™ Piggy Bank, Area Link™ Phoenix, and Area Link™ Luck.
Area Link™ Dragon effortlessly blends a classic mythical theme and AreaVegas’ cutting-edge mechanics with seamless gameplay and huge winning potential, all contributing to an optimal experience to enhance the offering of Games Global’s partners.
From the founders of SpinPlay Games and inspired by the glitz, the glam, and the games of Las Vegas, AreaVegas is an up-and-coming studio that is dedicated to giving players a premium gaming experience.
Christos Fydanakis, Commercial Director at SpinPlay Games, said: “We are delighted to release the newest addition in our Area Link™ collection, which not only offers players a spectacular visual experience, but also features stimulating gameplay to match. This new title comes as an upgrade of the already successful portfolio of Area Link™ games, with a new feature added in the base game, and a brand-new math model from the founders of SpinPlay Games to ensure an amazing player journey.
“Players will enjoy the sheer number of feature variants which means every gameplay session will be unique, while the amazing animations and sounds will satisfy even the most demanding slot enthusiasts.”
Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “AreaVegas Games is renowned for its development of innovative new titles, and Area Link™ Dragon is yet another example of this.
“The Area Link™ series has already proven a success for our operators, and this addition will no doubt supplement our games portfolio further as Games Global continues to enhance its offering.”

MLB Players Sign Licensing Agreement with PENN Entertainment

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.
The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.
PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.
The deal also includes PENN’s retail sportsbook operations (32 retail sportsbooks at its casino properties, including 19 under the ESPN BET brand).
Last fall, FanDuel and MLBPI reached a similar licensing agreement after the MLB players’ union sued FanDuel and Underdog Fantasy in New York Supreme Court, accusing them of using the names and likeness of ballplayers on their players without permission.
”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.
OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.
“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.

Caesars Entertainment Debuts its First Live Dealer Studio Inside One of its Caesars Rewards Destinations

Caesars Entertainment Inc. announced the launch of its first branded, live dealer studio inside one of its world-class destinations made possible through its partnership with Evolution. The debut of the space inside Tropicana Atlantic City in New Jersey marks the second custom studio made for Caesars live dealer offerings on its online casino platforms following the launch of its first such studio in Pennsylvania earlier this year.
Players 21 and older on Caesars’ online gaming platforms Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino can now enjoy a live dealer experience on mobile that draws inspiration from table game play at the Las Vegas Strip’s most iconic casino, Caesars Palace.
“The opening of this branded studio at one of our Caesars Rewards destinations introduces the newest addition to our ever-expanding online gaming platforms. We’re always striving to marry the world-class experiences our players enjoy at our destinations with the online casino play they love,” said Matt Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital.
The New Jersey studio features five blackjack tables, which includes a VIP-exclusive blackjack table, one baccarat table and one roulette table. The tables feature custom felts with imagery and branding from iconic Caesars destinations on the Las Vegas Strip including Caesars Palace & Horseshoe. The studio also caters to VIP players, much like Caesars Rewards destinations, with a VIP-exclusive blackjack table offering an authentic 1-to-1 live high-limit blackjack experience, that could previously only be found in a physical casino.
“Evolution is thrilled to open a second dedicated Caesars live dealer studio inside Tropicana Atlantic City. This studio was made possible through our close partnership with Caesars. Once fully operational, it will generate approximately two hundred job opportunities in Atlantic City. We’re very proud to see a concrete example of how iGaming helps to create jobs and develop the workforce in our local communities,” said Jacob Claesson, Chief Executive Officer of Evolution North America.
Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino are available on iOS, Android, and desktop for those 21 and older in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ontario, and West Virginia. Each platform offers a dynamic online casino experience with a range of unique Caesarsbranded games alongside hundreds of classic land-based casino favorites and core casino game mechanics, including high limit slots, private live dealer tables, linked progressive jackpots, variations of poker and roulette, and more.
