Stake on Monday, 8 June 2026 released its 2026 global football tournament hero video, starring brand ambassadors Sergio Aguero, Patrice Evra, Iker Casillas and Eden Hazard. The ‘It’s All At Stake’ creative is running across YouTube, Instagram and X, with the major tournament a week away.

The video places the four ex-players in short scenes built around football culture. Casillas is shown grabbing the attention of a fellow nightclub guest, Aguero helps a player off the deck in a five-a-side game, Hazard plays a coach, and Evra appears in a tattoo parlour where he inks a customer with the slogan “I love this game”.

Stake said the campaign is part of its wider tournament activity, with ambassadors positioned at the centre of its marketing around the event. The company said the creative is designed to capture the “highs and lows experienced by fans throughout the competition” and includes “humour, nostalgia and the personalities” of the four players.

Stake Director, Jarrod Febbraio said: “The 2026 global football tournament is one of the few sporting events that genuinely captures the attention of fans across every corner of the globe. We wanted to create a campaign that reflects the excitement, anticipation and passion that supporters feel throughout the competition while also bringing together some of football’s most iconic personalities.

“Having Sergio Aguero, Iker Casillas, Eden Hazard and Patrice Evra involved gave us the opportunity to create something entertaining, relatable and unmistakably football. The result is a campaign that celebrates the moments, emotions and conversations that make moments like this such a unique cultural occasion.

“At Stake, we aim to put our millions of customers at the heart of sport’s biggest moments. Whether fans are watching from the stands, at home or with friends, this campaign reinforces what it’s like when it’s all at Stake.”

The company also reiterated its position on responsible gambling, stating it is “committed to ensuring that our customers are educated on our various responsible gambling tools available for use”.

The 5×4 title adds respins, shifting reels and extra Wilds across successive bonus stages hosted by Wonderland characters.

Spinomenal has released Story of Alice 2, its latest slot title set in a Wonderland-themed garden. The game runs on a 5×4 layout and features characters including the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar, the Queen of Hearts and Alice.

In the base game, Wilds substitute for all symbols except the Free Spins symbol, and five on a line pay x300 the bet. The game also includes win multipliers that can appear while the reels are spinning, multiplying wins by x2 or x3.

The main bonus is a four-stage “Free Spins Journey” triggered by three or more full-sized scattered Free Spins symbols. Each retrigger moves players to the next stage, with each stage tied to a different character.

The sequence starts with the White Rabbit’s Winning Symbols Respin, where new winning combinations trigger respins and only the last respin pays. It then moves to the Mad Hatter’s Extra Wilds, adding three to five Wild symbols per spin, followed by the Caterpillar’s Shifting Reels Respin where wins trigger a respin and reels shift down by one row. The final stage is the Queen of Hearts’ Stacked Wilds Respin, where a fully landed stacked Wild on reels one to four triggers a respin; the company says five Wild symbols on a winning line pay x300.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “We are excited to welcome players back to Wonderland with Story of Alice 2. The Free Spins Journey gives the game a real sense of adventure and progression, and combined with its fantastic visuals, we expect players will be eager to chase the next feature.”
