The Gang’s All Here for Latest Play’n GO Adventure Slot!
The latest Play’n GO title has been announced this morning, with their release of the adventure slot Riches of Robin.
Based around the infamous English folklore character, Riches of Robin sees Robin Hood joined by his gang of Merry Men; Little John, Will Scarlet, Alan-a-Dale, Friar Tuck and the fair Maid Marian in an entertaining quest for cash!
While played on a 5×3 reel format, each symbol on the grid in the game actually houses its own reel strip (as opposed to one per reel), meaning 15 individual strips and the possibility of many more combinations on the grid.
The game also features instant prizes on the reels in the form of moneybag symbols; the first time Play’n GO have included such a feature.
The game is sure to appeal with its artistic style and several special features to keep players entertained.
The game was initially released to the Rank Group and, after a stellar exclusive performance, is now being released generally into the market.
CEO Johan Törnqvist had this to say:
“We’re very excited about the game’s release. We’ve already seen players enjoy it immensely as an exclusive title, and now the rest of the market will get the chance to experience it as well.
Our regular players will get the chance to experience two brand new concepts to our games, the reel individual reel strips and instant wins, as well as enjoying a brand new Play’n GO adventure!”
Riches of Robin is available to play online from today.

Commercial Gaming Revenue Growth Continues in Q3 2024, Driving Industry’s 15th Consecutive Quarter of Growth
U.S. commercial gaming revenue reached $17.71 billion in Q3 2024, the industry’s highest-grossing Q3 on record, according to the American Gaming Association’s (AGA) Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker. This makes Q3 2024 the industry’s 15th consecutive quarter of annual revenue growth, with September marking the 43rd straight month of rising year-over-year commercial gaming revenue.
Through the first nine months of the year, nationwide commercial gaming revenue stands at $53.24 billion, pacing 8.0 percent ahead of 2023 and putting the industry on track for a fourth straight record revenue year.
In Q3 2024, 29 of the 35 commercial gaming jurisdictions operational last year saw increased year-over-year revenue. This growth resulted in an 8.9 percent year-over-year increase in state and local taxes tied directly to gaming revenue, with commercial gaming operators contributing $3.79 billion in taxes across the quarter.
Quarterly revenue from land-based gaming – encompassing casino slots, table games and retail sports betting – totaled $12.56 billion, 0.62 percent lower than Q3 2023. Meanwhile, combined revenue from online sports betting and iGaming totaled $5.14 billion in Q3 2024 as online gaming made up 29.0 percent of commercial gaming revenue, a significantly higher share than in Q3 2023.
Looking at each sector in Q3 2024:
- Traditional Gaming: Traditional brick-and-mortar casino gaming generated quarterly revenue of $12.38 billion, a contraction of 0.9 percent year-over-year.
- Legal Sports Betting: Americans legally wagered $30.3 billion on sports, generating $3.24 billion in quarterly revenue (+42.4% YoY). Recent market launches in Kentucky, Maine, North Carolina and Vermont contributed to this growth.
- iGaming: iGaming generated $2.08 billion in revenue, marking a 30.3 percent year-over-year increase.
“Q3 2024 continued gaming’s momentum from the first half of the year, with online casino and sports betting driving strong growth. At the same time, new brick-and-mortar casino openings bolstered traditional gaming, which still accounts for the bulk of industry revenue,” said AGA Vice President of Research David Forman. “More than a quarter of commercial revenue now regularly comes from online sources, raising the importance of continued sustainable growth with consumers in those states.”
