The Gaming Corps Multiplier Games are fast casino games inspired by crypto currency crash games, on route to being launched under the new product brand iJect. The third part concerns bespoke development of a new type of game which will be offered exclusively via Betsson Group online casinos.

“Gaming Corps is demonstrating real innovation with their iGaming portfolio. The upcoming Table Games and iJect series of Multiplier Games resonates with how Betsson Group sees the industry going forward, and together I believe we can position ourselves at the forefront of this development. In addition, we are impressed with the speed at which Gaming Corps has been able to develop new products which has led to partnering on creating an exciting new type of game. It will be interesting to follow how this cooperation unfolds and I am confident that we will build market value for both parties.” says Paul Malt, Head of Games, Betsson Group.

“This agreement constitutes a significant milestone in Gaming Corps’ development and is evidence that the products we have chosen to invest in are leading the Company on the right path.

Now we are given the opportunity to not only offer our games to all of Betsson Group’s many players around the world but also, in collaboration with a tremendously industry-savvy team, develop the next generation of casino games. That is a challenge I know our talented team members will meet. I would like to thank Betsson Group for good cooperation, we look forward to working on many exciting projects together in the future.”  says Juha Kauppinen, CEO, Gaming Corps.

The agreement furthermore includes some exclusivity for Betsson Group on Gaming Corps’ upcoming iJect series of Multiplier Games in Italy and Georgia. Distribution of the full Gaming Corps portfolio will be carried out via iSoftbet’s Game Aggregation Platform (GAP).

“As we continue to develop our product portfolio, I believe Gaming Corps is on the right track of offering the type of innovation that large operators are looking for in an increasingly saturated market. With our upcoming products we have let gamification lead the way, and that represents the core of this new partnership with Betsson. I am very excited to get
started on our collaboration.” says Alex Lorimer, Head of Business Development, Gaming Corps

Real-money casual puzzle tournament startup says an EU private investor backed the April 2026 round.

EasyWin, a U.S.-based real-money gaming startup, said it has closed its second seed funding round at a $20 million valuation. The company announced the round in April 2026 and said it was backed by a private investor from the European Union.

The company previously closed its first seed round in December 2025 at a $15.5 million valuation. That round included funding from Velo Partners, Vladimir Nikolsky and several private angel investors.

EasyWin was founded by Ivan Leshkevich, a former executive at mobile game publisher and developer Mamboo Entertainment. The startup, which currently has a team of eight, says it has built a global tournament platform for casual puzzle games with cash prizes and operates across major markets.

Since launching in 2025, EasyWin reported 25% month-over-month growth in user spending and a 4.9 average user rating. It also said it has expanded into 12 countries with localized legal opinions and payment infrastructure, received PayPal approval for its MCC, and completed payments-stack integrations with global providers.

The company also said it has obtained GLI certification “confirming compliance with U.S. regulations for skill-based gaming products.” Leshkevich said: “In the long term, we aim to become a leading global skill-based gaming platform. To achieve this, we focus on a strong product USP and new AI-based dev tools.”

Downtown Las Vegas property says the July Super Bingo will be its largest prize purse to date, with sessions on July 4-5.

Plaza Hotel & Casino will stage a $250,000 “Super Bingo” event in Las Vegas July 3-5, positioning it as a special edition tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary. The operator said the prize pool is the largest in the series’ history.

“The Plaza will be celebrating its 55th anniversary and the 250th anniversary of our great country in July, so it is only fitting that we make our Super Bingo event that month our biggest and best ever,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “Our Super Bingo events have always drawn a packed crowd to our convention space, and we anticipate the July event to sell out quickly.”

According to the Plaza, Super Bingo draws nearly 1,000 attendees, including visitors traveling from Hawaii and Canada. For the July edition, bingo-only registration is set at $250 per person for gameplay on Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5. The Plaza is also offering an optional five-night hotel package priced at $200 per person, with no resort fee, for check-in July 2 and check-out July 6.

The Plaza outlined the payout structure as 20 games paying $1,999 each day, plus a daily “super coverall” of $60,000, second place of $15,000, and third place of $10,020. The casino said prizes will be paid in cash and players must be present to win.

Outside of the special event, the Plaza said its bingo room runs six daily sessions at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and is located two floors above the main casino.
