SNIPER GHOST WARRIOR CONTRACTS 2 RELEASES MAJOR CONTENT UPDATE – ‘BUTCHER’S BANQUET’ – FREE ON ALL PLATFORMS
Modern warfare shooter, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, released last month to considerable success, and today launches a major content expansion. Ominously titled, ‘Butcher’s Banquet’, the update is free for all players on PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC, and is immediately available as a patch to the main game.
Featuring an all-new expansive region, ‘Butcher’s Banquet’ takes place in a stunning desert-like area, complete with luscious oases, dramatic waterfalls, and mysterious temples. And whilst it might be especially picturesque, make no mistake – it’s certainly no holiday destination. Following the recent turmoil in Kuamar – the setting of SGW Contracts 2’s main campaign – new threats have been allowed to surface, the most dangerous of which is Mahmoud Zarza… aka ‘The Butcher’.
The new expansion builds on all the elements players loved about the base game, including the 1000m+ extreme-range sniping, next-gen graphics, more intelligent NPCs, and the most lethal array of weapons yet. The challenging sniper game is set in Kuamar, a lawless region of the Middle East, located along the Lebanese and Syrian borders. Players take on the role of Raven, Contract Sniper Assassin, and are tasked with toppling a brutal dictatorship by completing a series of replayable missions that can be approached in a number of ways. SGW Contracts 2 features large-scale sandbox maps, a variety of side missions and objectives, realistic weapons and gadgets, and a range of unlockable skills and equipment.
Players can purchase SGW Contracts 2 on PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC for $39.99 / €39,99 / £34,99 / AUD69.95. Releasing 24th August, the PS5 edition can be preordered now and arrives with a free copy of the Crossbow Carnage DLC pack, in addition to a suite of next gen features, including 4k resolution, enhanced textures and visuals, Adaptive Triggers, Haptic Feedback and improved SSD loading times.

Spinmatic launches Elemental Fusion Deluxe with instant Plinko bonus triggers
Spinmatic has launched Elemental Fusion Deluxe, a new slot built around instant access to its Plinko mechanic from the base game, the supplier said. The title was announced on 9 June 2026 from Malta.
Elemental Fusion Deluxe runs on a 5×3 layout with 25 fixed paylines. Spinmatic lists the game as medium-high volatility with a 96.04% RTP and 39.49% hit frequency.
The game’s feature set includes Gold Wilds, which can appear on any reel and substitute for standard symbols (excluding the Special Plinko Symbol and the Special Element Elixir Symbols). Spinmatic also says base gameplay uses “Instant Elixir Multipliers” linked to Fire, Earth, Water, Air, and Galaxy symbols.
Instead of an accumulator-style collection mechanic, the Plinko Feature Trigger activates when three dedicated trigger symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5, launching a random Plinko bonus. Spinmatic says the Plinko bonus is split into four elemental modes after a selection wheel sets a starting pool of 10 to 100 balls: Water Plinko (low volatility, Mini Jackpot), Air Plinko (medium volatility, Midi Jackpot), Earth Plinko (high volatility, Maxi Jackpot), and Fire Plinko (very high volatility, Grand Jackpot), played on a 16-row pyramid.
The company framed the release around reducing time-to-feature: “In a market where a split-second delay can lose a player, the quality of your content delivery determines your bottom line.”

Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSE) has launched two new iGaming titles: Wolf It Up! Roulette 54
and Wolf It Up! Big Wheel
. The games were announced June 9, 2026 and are powered by the company’s Hybrid Dealer® format and its Cash Bank
mechanic.
Wolf It Up! Roulette 54 is positioned as a roulette-style product delivered in a Hybrid Dealer presentation with pre-recorded hosts and a CGI studio environment. Inspired said the game’s layout uses numbers 1 to 50 plus four special symbol segments, built to support Cash Bank bonus rounds.
Wolf It Up! Big Wheel is built around an automated 54-segment wheel and uses a roulette-inspired betting interface. Inspired described the game as a faster-paced, gameshow-style alternative within the same Wolf It Up!
theme, with Cash Bank features and “character-driven upgrades.”

Groove confirms SBC Summit Americas 2026 attendance in Fort Lauderdale
Groove will attend SBC Summit Americas 2026, taking place June 9–11 at the Broward County Convention Centre in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company said its leadership team will be on site, including Co-Founder and CEO Yahale Meltzer and Business Development Director Giusy Campo, to meet operators, regulators, and affiliates.
The appearance follows Groove’s participation at SiGMA Asia in Manila, where the company said it joined a panel on regulatory resilience in the “Jurisdiction Jungle”. In Fort Lauderdale, Groove plans to continue discussions focused on navigating fragmented regulatory environments across North and Latin America.
Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, said: “When we move into a new region, we don’t arrive empty-handed. We come with a platform built on structural resilience: predictive auto-scaling, atomic transactions, and a real-time compliance mesh that adapts to jurisdictional demands, not the other way around. Operators in the Americas face many of the same pressures as their counterparts in Asia: banking scrutiny, shifting regulations, and the need for flawless execution. Our ‘Unseen Architecture’ was built for exactly this moment.” She added: “They need a partner whose platform won’t introduce compliance or operational risk into their business. That’s what we deliver. From Manila to Miami, the questions are the same. And we have the answers.”
Groove said it enters the event after what it described as a “transformative 2025,” including securing a license to operate in Brazil and establishing regulated activity in Argentina, alongside expansion across Europe, Africa, and Asia. The company also said it offers “over 15,000 games from more than 150 providers unified through a single API.”
Meltzer said: “We don’t do ‘one-off’ events. We build continuous relationships across the markets that matter. Asia was about demonstrating structural resilience in the face of fragmentation. The Americas require the same rigour: a platform that can scale from a single operator in Argentina to a national lottery in Brazil without breaking compliance or trust. Our nomination in Manila wasn’t an endpoint. It was a signal. Now we take that signal to Fort Lauderdale, where the real work begins.” He also pointed to Groove’s offices in Israel, Georgia, and Malta, and its 24/7 multilingual support team as part of its operating model.
