Spinola Gaming to Announce Ground-breaking Games
With the ICE London conference coming up, gaming companies left, and right are getting ready to present their new and upcoming products and mingle with their clients and competitors alike. Spinola Gaming is one of the companies that will have the most eyes on them. They have announced the launch of some exciting games that should become available for play at sites such as Pink Casino and many other brands in the coming months.
Most recently, the company which was mainly focused on lottery game solutions, announced it would be breaking into the Latin American and Asian markets. Now, the software provider also announced the imminent release of some highly entertaining and promising games with massive jackpots up for grabs.
The first glimpse of these new instant play games will be given to the industry insiders and players at the 2020 ICE London, which takes place this February. Among other titles, Spinola Gaming has already announced the release of a Viking themed game under the title Valhalla’s Gold.
What to Expect
The Valetta based software developer has spoken about their upcoming games to several media outlets already. According to their statements, the games are expected to have high-end visuals to match those of the top-ranked slot developers as well as appealing gameplay that will be designed to move a portion of the land-based lottery players into the online world.
In a press release published by Ade Repcenko, the upcoming games were dubbed to be similar to the traditional online slot games in their appearance. We know that Spinola Gaming will still be using a lottery-like gaming engine to power these games, but on the surface, they will look like any other slots out there.
The main difference between these slots and those made by other providers is that players will stand to win enormous jackpots, as big as EUR 250 Million. This, of course, is a massive game-changer as no slot has ever offered such payouts. Even the super popular Mega Moolah from Microgaming only ever came close to EUR 20 Million, making these games highly anticipated.
The press release further stated that the entire jackpot amount in each game is fully ensured, meaning individual operators will not need to worry about having to pay such a massive jackpot out of their funds.
Combining Lottery and Slot Gaming
Slots and lottery have always been two distinctly different games that appealed to different demographics. Slots offer non-stop entertainment and limited prizes. Even though some companies have created slots with the incredibly high top prize, none have come close to matching the large international lotteries.
Spinola Gaming has been in the business of lottery gaming for many years, and they have now developed a way for slots players to join the lottery player pool without losing out on their favorite aspects of slots gameplay.
With the new Spinola instant play games, players will get to enjoy gameplay that does not differ from that offered by traditional online casino slots. However, the underlying mechanism of these games will be that of a lottery game, with one lucky winner able to win the incredible, life-changing jackpot prize.
With the ICE conference now just weeks away, players and industry insiders alike are waiting to finally catch a glimpse of these game-changing titles from Spinola Gaming. If they can indeed provide all that they promise, Spinola may quickly move into the position as one of the top online game providers in the coming years.

Poll: Mississippians Deliver Resounding “No” to Mobile Sports Betting and iGaming
As Mississippi lawmakers again debate legislation that would expand gambling beyond existing casino properties, new statewide polling and a formal letter from the casino industry deliver a unified message to state leaders: Mississippi voters and casino operators alike oppose the legalization of Online Sports Betting (OSB) and iGaming.
Polling commissioned by the National Association Against iGaming (NAAiG) in January finds broad resistance to online gambling expansion among Mississippi voters. Nearly three-quarters of voters (74.2%) oppose legalizing mobile sports betting after learning it would allow wagering statewide on smartphones and other devices, an increase from an already negative baseline once voters understand how the proposal would work. Opposition to iGaming is even stronger, rising from 74.1% at baseline to 80.8% after voters learn it would allow 24/7 remote access to casino-style games.
That opposition is echoed in a formal letter issued to state leadership by a coalition of prominent Mississippi casino operators, joined by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians’ Pearl River Resorts. In the January 21 letter, the coalition warns that legalizing OSB and iGaming would undermine the multi-billion-dollar capital investments made by Mississippi’s traditional gaming industry since 1992 and threaten long-term local jobs.
“This data proves that online gambling is a product Mississippi simply does not want. When residents envision what this policy means in practice—the ‘casino in your pocket’ at all hours—they move decisively away from legalization,” said Oliver Barie, Government Relations Director for the National Association Against iGaming (NAAiG).
Polling by the Bradley Research Group for NAAiG also shows majority opposition to both proposals across every congressional district and major demographic group, before and after voters receive additional information.
Economic Siphoning and Job Protection
In their letter, the casino coalition highlighted a significant divide within the gaming industry itself. Operators opposing expansion have a substantially greater long-term stake in Mississippi, owning an average of 55% of their total properties in the state, compared with just 22% for operators supporting online expansion.
The coalition identified several key economic risks associated with legalizing OSB and iGaming:
• Revenue Loss: Unlike retail casinos, where revenue stays in-state, OSB allows out-of-state operators to cover corporate overhead first, leaving only minimal fees for in-state partners.
• Job Cannibalization: “In-play” mobile betting threatens to reduce physical foot traffic, leading to weakened casino operations and a reduction in the hospitality workforce.
• Minimal State Benefit: Estimated incremental tax revenue is projected at only $11 million—a figure the coalition deems “not a material amount” against a $7 billion state budget.
A Public Health Crisis
Coalition members also raised serious public health concerns, citing a 67% increase in gambling addiction-related search interest in states with legalized online sports betting and a 30% rise in bankruptcies among low-savings households. Research indicates legalization has led to a 372% increase in irresponsible gambling behavior.
“The people of Mississippi are speaking clearly: they value their communities, their local jobs, and their families more than the minimal tax revenue promised by out-of-state tech companies,” the coalition said.
Letter Signatories
The letter opposing online gambling expansion was signed by representatives from:
Churchill Downs (Harlow’s Casino Resort & Spa, River Walk Casino Hotel)
Foundation Gaming & Entertainment (Fitz Casino Hotel, WaterView Casino Hotel)
Full House Resorts (Silver Slipper Casino Hotel)
Gulfside Casino Partnership (Island View Casino Resort)
Palace Casino Resort
Pearl River Resorts (Golden Moon Hotel and Casino)
Saratoga Gaming (Magnolia Bluffs Casino Hotel)
Treasure Bay Casino and Hotel.
