Playtech PLC has said that it has agreed to a 2.1 billion-pound ($2.89 billion) takeover from Australian-listed gaming content and technology company Aristocrat Leisure Ltd. through its subsidiary Aristocrat (UK) Holdings Ltd.

Under the offer, accepting shareholders of the FTSE 250-listed gambling-technology company will get 680 pence in cash for each share owned. The offer price is a 58% premium to Playtech’s closing price of 429.20 pence on October 15.

“In recent years, Playtech has successfully repositioned its world leading gambling technology and operations, expanding in strategically important regulated markets and driving major online B2B revenue growth. Whilst the business has made significant progress, most notably in the Americas, Aristocrat’s proposal provides an attractive opportunity for shareholders to accelerate Playtech’s longer-term value,” Brian Mattingley, Chairman of Playtech, said.

It was an honour for Spintec to exhibit at G2E Las Vegas this year, after being recognised with multiple honours across the world, including Best Performing ETG Product in LATAM and Western Europe (Eilers, 2025) and Best Electronic Table Game Solution at the Asia Gaming Awards 2025.

At G2E 2025, Spintec presented an exhaustive portfolio of products that have accrued so many awards: from different games and experiences to a surprising range of settings in the Charisma Series.

The solution that garnered the most attention was the Charisma Amphitheater that can accommodate a large number of players. They can share the same dynamic, multigame experience, enjoying Roulette, Sic Bo, Craps, Blackjack, or Baccarat across automated, virtual and live platforms. The action is constant and thrilling, not just because of the varied and exciting games, but also because of the expanded side bets, jackpots and simultaneous gameplay options.

This layout fosters a vibrant, tournament-ready atmosphere that is always a lot of fun. However, at G2E, Spintec showed that it can be upgraded even further with their latest innovation: the Spintec Tournament Experience. It comes with a visually striking LED-driven environment with real-time stats, live visuals and dynamic leaderboards that are designed to keep players immersed and energised.

At the other end of the spectrum are the circumstances where individual play is much preferred to a shared experience. In those, Charisma SVM (Stand-Alone Virtual Machine) is a perfect solution. It combines five table games into a sleek, space-efficient cabinet for individual players. It is designed for flexibility and fast play, allowing extremely smooth game transitions. It is compact yet powerful and delivers unmatched versatility for casinos of any size.

Visitors at G2E also got to experience two absolute rising stars from the Spintec portfolio. Galactic Spin, Spintec’s flagship game, is quickly becoming one of their most interesting introductions. It is a GLI-certified roulette-style innovation that amplifies excitement through free spins, multipliers and a three-level Galactic Jackpot, one of the most advanced and engaging progressive roulette systems worldwide.

The other undisputed star and a global bestseller from Spintec’s lineup is the Charisma Roulette with eight play stations. Its popularity comes from innovations such as Galactic Spin Roulette, Lucky Number Jackpot and HotSpot Roulette, which are all extremely reliable revenue drivers. The setting also offers exceptional visibility of the wheel from every seat with an elegant design enhanced by LED illumination and dual-sided animated signage.

The visitors at the G2E Las Vegas also very much enjoyed the Baccarat and Craps setups. The Charisma Baccarat with five play stations showed authentic gameplay through its market-tailored squeeze feature and a variety of side bets with payouts up to 48x, including some exclusive side bet options unique to Spintec. The other solution that also invited a lot of attention was the Charisma Craps technology. It exhibited extremely smooth gameplay with exciting dice rolls and fast, accurate number reading, maintaining the thrill of traditional craps while enhancing efficiency. A standout element is the Shooter Button, a fun and interactive feature that assigns the shooter role in accordance with authentic live game rules. Charisma Craps also incorporates a proprietary solution that guarantees clean, fair rolls by preventing dice from becoming cocked or landing on top of each other.

All of Spintec’s solutions are extremely customisable with premium finishes, and a design that fits any casino floor.

The international iGaming market is growing with the opening of Astromania Casino. The new platform will be a complete online casino and sportsbook, with a regulated and technologically enhanced platform available to players across multiple regulated international markets.

In the early phases, Astromania will target multiple regulated markets as a multi-geo brand. The project demonstrates a strategic desire to enter competitive, highly regulated markets with a product that is supposed to be of the highest standards of transparency and operational stability.

Astromania Casino provides an efficient and transparent platform that is developed on trust. It has more than 6000 games with international providers and a full sportsbook with all major sports.

“Astromania was created as a platform that prioritises performance, security, and fairness. Our objective is to provide users with an efficient, regulated product supported by transparent processes and dependable technology,” said the chief Executive Officer of Astromania.

The platform adapts to each region’s language, currency and regulatory standards. Payment methods cover cards, e-wallets, bank transfers and crypto, with regional options like GiroPay, PayID and Paysafecard.

All financial operations are protected through SSL encryption, real-time monitoring and AML/KYC verification in full compliance with European regulatory standards.

Astromania incorporates a comprehensive responsible gaming system designed to maintain player control and security. Users can configure individual deposit and time limits, apply self-exclusion measures and access multilingual support around the clock. Behavioural analytics tools allow the platform to detect and respond to irregular gaming patterns, reinforcing player protection.

“Compliance and responsibility are integral to Astromania’s operation. Our mission is to ensure that entertainment is delivered within a framework of safety and accountability,” said the Compliance Director.

Scalable cloud architecture is the technological basis of Astromania, which allows another cloud to run all of the performance without issues in the busiest periods. The modular design of the platform enables the quick adaptation to new regulatory settings and market-specific demands. The company is expanding across regulated regions, focusing on localised content and payment integrations for each market.

The company’s roadmap includes the release of exclusive proprietary content, native mobile applications for iOS and Android featuring biometric authentication and the expansion of coverage aligned with regional player demand.

The brand’s strategic goal is to combine large-scale content delivery with technological precision and full compliance with jurisdictional requirements.

“Astromania is not a short-term venture. Our objective is to establish a platform that defines long-term reliability and transparency within the regulated iGaming sector,” added the CEO.

Brilliance perfected: U.S. debut of DIAMOND X 1.55J Quattro

With its eye-catching sign solution, dynamic LED lighting and bold design, the presentation stood out as one of the true visual highlights of the NOVOMATIC booth.

Next-level content: linked progressives and game highlights

NOVOMATIC impressed operators and visitors alike with a powerful portfolio of new gaming content designed to deliver excitement and performance at every level. The latest addition to the company’s successful jackpot families, ULTRA BOOST 3 Treasures, premiered with three captivating titles – Grand Eagle, Mighty Taurus and Tiger Storm – combining proven mechanics with engaging bonus features and striking audiovisual effects.

Another major highlight was XTENSION LINK Evolution, the latest chapter in NOVOMATIC’s internationally acclaimed jackpot series.

The XTENSION LINK series, now spanning Volume 3, Volume 4 and the brand-new XTENSION LINK Ultimate, continues to set benchmarks in entertainment and floor performance worldwide.

Also drawing strong attention was RISING TREASURES – Sizzling Hot Treasure Inferno, which expands the popular franchise with fiery Free Games and Xtra Spins. Another standout was the all-new “De la Isla!” Wide Area Progressive, which has been developed exclusively for the Puerto Rican market, reflecting NOVOMATIC’s focus on localized content and tailored game design. Each title showcases the company’s commitment to high-performing game mathematics, compelling player experiences and measurable ROI for operators, again confirming NOVOMATIC’s ability to combine entertainment and profitability in equal measure.

System innovation: Novo Unity Pro and NOVOVISION

At G2E 2025, NOVOMATIC also highlighted its cutting-edge system solutions that redefine efficiency and player experience in modern casinos.
