End of Orange Digital Seal Usage – Effective October 15, 2025

The Curacao Gaming Authority (CGA) would like to inform all licensed operators and interested parties that the transition arrangement relating to the Certificate of Operation (the “Orange Seal”) will end on October 15, 2025.

From this date onward, any operator displaying an orange seal on its domains will be in breach of Curacao law. Licensed operators must ensure that only the Green Seal is displayed on their websites.

To ensure compliance, operators should note the following:

• All former sublicensees have now had their license applications Granted, Approved, or Rejected.
• If an application has been Approved, the operator is reminded that the initial invoice must be paid in order for the license status to be formally Granted and the Green Seal issued.
• Operators currently displaying Orange Seals on certain domains should update the domain status in the CGA portal from “under sub-license” to “under application.” This will provide access to the Green Seal token for the relevant domains.

Please complete these updates well before 15th October 2026 to avoid any disruptions.

The previous chapter told the story of the Catleone clan scheming to rule the casino business in 1930s America. Players were invited to join the dark side and help the three cat gangsters vanquish their rivals and proclaim their dominance. In Great Hook Hold and Win, the criminal saga continues. Having built a name in the gambling world, the infamous mobsters lure wealthy high-rollers into their casinos and swindle them out of money with bogus cheques. The sequel introduces a new character — Detective Hook. A seasoned sleuth, he takes on a daring mission to track down the Catleone clan and bring them to justice.

The new release is a classic 5×3 slot. Players can step into the role of the Detective’s assistant, piecing together clues and unraveling the elaborate con scheme. The climax of this criminal adventure is the Bonus round powered by the popular Hold and Win mechanics. Triggered by three or more Coins across 243 ways, it leads to the crucial evidence in the case. With three free respins for a good start, players spin to uncover the mystery and claim the x100 Minipot Coin and the x1,000 Megapot as a reward for their help.

Great Hook Hold and Win preserves the features of 1spin4win’s signature style, including well-balanced gameplay, minimalistic visual design, and transparent mechanics. This makes the new slot suitable for every type of player.

Olga Bogdanova, Art Director at 1spin4win, “We were excited to debut Great Hook Hold and Win at SBC Summit 2025 in Lisbon. It took center stage at our stand, supported by a custom mascot and themed merchandise. This was a great way to stand out from the competition and helped us spark interest in the release.”
