TaDa Gaming has released its latest slot Lucky Jaguar 2. This time, the Colourful Jaguar Wild is joined by a Gold Jaguar Wild to ramp up the wins with multiple multipliers, stunning graphics and a humorous soundtrack, alongside the original Lock & Respin bonus game feature.

Designed specifically for the LatAm market, where earlier release Fortune Gems had held the record breaking top spot, Lucky Jaguar hit 33%+ of Fortune Gem’s DAU figures within one month. Retention increased by 50%+; session length by nearly 30%; and increased rounds played up 20%, with figures still rising.

Based on this positive reception to the original release and localised for new markets, sequel Lucky Jaguar 2 will take players back to the Aztec Empire in this three rows, three reels and five fixed play lines slot; but this time for 10,000x max win and a Gold Jaguar Wild who can both trigger the bonus game with its Lock & Respin feature and deliver extra bonus multipliers to the win when he appears on Reel Two.

Laden with Aztec symbols from jewellery to artefacts, before each Lucky Jaguar 2 game starts one symbol is randomly chosen. When the bonus game triggers, only that selected symbol, the Gold or the Colourful Jaguar Wilds or empty positions will spin out. Each winning spin will lock the symbols into place and spin again until the grid is filled or there are no more winning combinations.

The Colourful Jaguar Wild can substitute for any symbol and add a multiplier to winning paylines ranging in value from 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 30x to a legendary 50x the base bet.

When multiple Jaguar Wilds appear, all the multiplied paylines are added together taking the win potential to mega levels. Plus, when all symbols on the reels match in a winning combination, a random multiplier bonus of 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x the win is awarded.

The Gold Jaguar Wild carries a random multiplier which can include 2x, 3x and 5x. In addition to triggering the Bonus Lock & Respin game, when he appears on a winning payline all wins, including Jaguar Wild Bonuses, will be multiplied for truly legendary payout potential.

For players who like to push their lucky chances, the Extra Bets feature will increase the number of Wilds appearing and double the chance of triggering the Bonus game, enhancing the win potential with a max bet of 300 and intensifying the excitement.

Sean Liu, Head of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Using our ‘Global Core Mechanics, Localised Content’ strategy ensured that Lucky Jaguar 2 builds on the success of the original slot whilst adding in generous extra multiplier bonuses in a mid-volatility game. The design team also had some fun giving the Jaguar a bigger personality and enhancing the soundtrack for more experiential gaming. We are confident this is going to be another hit release.”

“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.

PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
