Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, invites players to enjoy the vibrant new game release Joker King, its latest launch in a series of harlequin-themed titles.

The 4×6, fruit machine-style title offers 25 paylines for players to land winning combinations on. It is a highly-volatile slot, featuring a bright purple background and an upbeat soundtrack.

Six regular symbols feature in Joker King, including oranges, plums, cherries, BARs, 7s, and the most valuable of them all, stars. Winning combinations can be up to six symbols in length, worth pay-outs of one to five times the stake.

The release’s bonus features include Wilds, Scatter Multipliers and Free Spins. Joker Wilds can appear on all reels, and whenever one lands, one type of symbol is randomly selected to be replaced with Joker Wilds. Wins are then paid after the transformations occur.

The Scatter symbol is a gold crown, and when one appears, players can receive a multiplier of up to 25 times their winning combination. Players who land three or more Scatters on the same spin will trigger the Free Spins feature, and this is where the biggest wins lie.

More crowns mean more free spins, so landing 3,4,5 or 6 crown Scatters on the same free spin will add a round of 8, 10, 15 or 20 free spins to the total. Each Scatter symbol has a multiplier attached, and each spin win is multiplied by the total sum of multiplier value, for princely riches.

Joker King joins recent hits Eye of the Storm, Madame Destiny Megaways and Congo Cash in Pragmatic Play’s exclusive slot portfolio, which has been developed to cater to players of all demographics.

Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Joker King is the latest addition to our unique offering of slots, and we expect it to go down a treat with our customers.

“Fans of classic fruit game machines will definitely enjoy this release. With a timeless aesthetic and a collection of unique bonus features, Joker King really delivers on the excitement front.”

Pragmatic Play currently produces up to five new slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.

First release is Avinho R10, followed by June launch Fortune Ronaldinho as the studio lines up more titles ahead of the World Cup season.

Pascal Gaming has partnered with Brazilian football player Ronaldinho to launch a dedicated portfolio of games inspired by the athlete, the company said on 26 May, 2026.

The planned pipeline includes crash games, slots and additional titles set to roll out through the year. Pascal Gaming said the initiative is aimed at both Brazil and international markets, and will be supported by tournaments, promotional activity and special events tied to the Ronaldinho-branded portfolio.

The first game confirmed is Avinho R10, described as a crash-style title featuring Ronaldinho “above Brazil” in an aviation-themed experience. A second game, Fortune Ronaldinho, is scheduled for release in June and is positioned as a slot-inspired title.

“Ronaldinho is one of the most recognisable and loved football personalities in the world, so for us this collaboration is much more than a game launch. It is a global entertainment project that combines football culture, emotionally engaging gameplay and strong promotional activities ahead of the World Cup,” said Armen Mnaskanian, Head of Sales at SoftConstruct Gaming Content.

Pascal Gaming said it has been expanding its crash game portfolio during 2026 and investing in localised, character-driven content across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The company added that more Ronaldinho-themed titles and marketing campaigns will be revealed in the coming months.

The JUSTIN2026 campaign was shot in Denver and rolls out over four weeks ahead of the 14 June event at the White House.

Duelbits has launched a branded content campaign with UFC interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje, timed to UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Saturday 14th June.

The campaign, branded JUSTIN2026, was shot on location in Denver, Colorado by UK-based creative agency YRDS. Duelbits said the content is designed as a “premium, cinematic series” and will roll out in phases over the next four weeks, peaking on event day.

According to the company, the campaign was planned before UFC Freedom was officially confirmed. Duelbits framed the early commitment as part of a strategy to move faster than traditional sportsbooks around major cultural moments.

“We didn’t want to create another sportsbook promo,” said Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits. “We wanted to create something that combat sports fans want to watch, content built around Justin’s authenticity and intensity, not just his fight record. We were planning this before the White House event was even officially confirmed. When you believe in the magnitude of a moment, you don’t wait for permission to act on it.”

“Duelbits came to me with a vision, not just a brief,” said Gaethje. “They wanted to create something that reflected the reality of what I do and who I am, with no smoke and mirrors. When a brand shows up with that kind of conviction and creative ambition, you back it. This campaign is going to be something people remember.”
