1spin4win releases unique slot Don Catleone Hold and Win featuring gangster cats

Summary: Classic online slots provider 1spin4win invites players to take a trip back in time together with a highly charming roster of cat characters in its latest release
Don Catleone Hold and Win immerses the audience in the striking atmosphere of the 1930s in America, a time of cultural and technological advancement when wealth and illicit affairs ruled society, and Art Deco was the epitome of style. It offers players a chance to join three seasoned mobsters from the Catleone family to try and catch Donâs attention in hopes of rising to the top. Each character was lovingly developed by the team to leave a lasting impression.
The three mafiosos on the reels are as important as the person spinning them, as they will lead the player to success. Cue in Tommy Blue with his iconic gun, a fighter with a broken heart who will stick with you through thick and thin. Tony Green is always lurking by his side, a sly rogue and trickster who will ensure that all your deals go smoothly, no matter the circumstances. Of course, your genius operations wouldnât be complete without Ruby More, a mastermind hungry for food and accomplishments.
The story can be clearly seen and understood through the gameâs visual design, but what seals the deal are 1spin4winâs renowned mechanics and well-balanced math. Rewards across 243 ways, the RTP of 97.1%, x1,300 max multiplier, and medium volatility pack a delicious punch.
The central event of the slot is its Bonus game â a widely beloved Hold and Win round. 3+ casino chip symbols start it off, giving players 3 initial respins which refresh for each new chip dropped. In a traditional interpretation, holding all 15 chips on the 5Ă3 layout results in a Mega Jackpot win, and x100 Mini Jackpot Coins are also available.
Olga Bogdanova, the Art Director at 1spin4win, pointed out, âWhen you introduce a rousing idea to a like-minded team, everything works out perfectly.â
âWe created the world in which our charismatic cats would live, fleshed them out by giving them backstories, and infused paytable symbols with distinctive designs, giving each character a different attitude, field of expertise, and interests. Finally, we worked out the name, which evoked necessary associations, and the slot came together neatly.â
The Don Catleone Hold and Win free demo is already up on 1spin4winâs official website.Â

Construction of Japanâs First Integrated Resort with a Casino Begins

Â
Construction has officially begun on Japanâs first integrated resort with a casino, as MGM Osaka held its groundbreaking ceremony last week. The event, hosted by Osaka IR KK, the projectâs promoter, was attended by Osaka Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura and representatives of MGM Resorts International and Japanâs Orix Corporation, the lead partners behind the „1.27 trillion ($8.8 billion) development.
Located on the man-made island of Yumeshima in Osaka Bay, MGM Osaka is scheduled to open in the autumn of 2030. The project marks a key milestone in Japanâs long-debated foray into legalised casino gaming. Once operational, it is expected to generate around $5.9 billion annually in gross gaming revenue.
MGM Osaka will feature a casino, three hotels with approximately 2500 rooms, and extensive convention and entertainment facilities, including a 3500-seat theater, 330,000 square feet of exhibition space and 400,000 square feet of conference areas. Dining and retail outlets are also part of the expansive master plan.
âIn collaboration with Osaka Prefecture and Osaka City, this project⊠is expected to contribute to the development of Japanâs tourism industry and the growth of the Kansai region,â a press statement reads.
The complexâs timeline coincides with the tail end of Expo 2025, also hosted on Yumeshima Island. To minimise disruption during the event, construction will be scaled down on peak days and the use of heavy machinery delayed until after the Expo concludes in October.
The resort will benefit from enhanced transportation access. A new Osaka Metro station opened in January to serve Expo 2025 and eventually MGM Osaka, while the Kintetsu Nara Line is being extended to further improve connectivity before the resort opens.
Financially, the project is backed by a „530 billion ($3.68 billion) debt financing package led by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., with investments from regional businesses in Osaka.
