The HIPTHER Prague Summit 2026 has officially concluded, marking not only the end of another exceptional edition, but the celebration of a defining milestone: 10 Years of Impact.

Bringing together nearly 400 professionals from across iGaming, technology, fintech, compliance, AI, and blockchain, this year’s summit stood as the most ambitious and dynamic edition to date — two days of high-level insights, meaningful connections, hands-on learning, and unforgettable experiences.

From early-morning wellness sessions to late-night celebrations, HIPTHER Prague Summit 2026 delivered a complete, immersive industry experience — one that will be remembered as a benchmark moment for the European Gaming & Tech ecosystem.

A Summit Designed for Insight, Strategy & Real Connections

Held on 24–25 March 2026 at OREA Hotel Andel’s Prague, the summit once again proved why it remains a cornerstone event where technology, compliance, and innovation converge.

The 10th Anniversary edition expanded into its full-scale format featuring:

• Three core conference stages
• The hands-on HIPTHER Academy
• The GamingTECH CEE Awards 2026
• Curated networking experiences across every touchpoint

The result? A boutique, high-impact environment where conversations weren’t just happening — they were shaping the next decade of the industry.

Four Stages. One Unified Vision of the Future

The summit unfolded across four stages, bringing together compliance, regulation, business strategy, and innovation into one cohesive narrative. From regulatory deep dives and enforcement trends to cross-industry discussions spanning iGaming, fintech, AI, and media, the agenda balanced specialization with meaningful dialogue between operators, suppliers, and advisors.

A standout element was the dedicated Responsible Gaming & Player Safety focus on Day 2, curated by the Institute for Gambling Regulation (IPRH). This track placed player protection and sustainable industry growth at the forefront, addressing emerging risks, early detection mechanisms, and the need for greater cross-border regulatory alignment through expert-led panels and case-driven discussions.

Elevating the conference, the HIPTHER Academy further expanded the summit’s scope into a practical learning environment, offering hands-on workshops and certifications across AI, compliance, marketing, and leadership. With a clear emphasis on real-world application, the Academy positioned itself as a platform for professionals looking to strengthen both their expertise and strategic impact.

Networking: From Morning Energy to Nights of Excellence

At HIPTHER Prague Summit 2026, networking extended far beyond the conference floor, shaping the experience from early morning and delicious breaks, to late-night celebrations.

The days began with intention, from a calming yoga session on Day 1 to the Morning Networking Run on Day 2 — blending wellness, movement, and connection in true #hipthers style.

As evening fell, the spotlight turned to recognition and celebration. The GamingTECH CEE Awards 2026 honoured the industry’s standout performers, announced in the exciting Endorphina Club Party & Awards Ceremony at Buddha-Bar Prague. As the official Awards Ceremony & Party Sponsor, Endorphina delivered a premium networking experience where prestige met Asian culture and vibrant energy.

The momentum continued with the Closing Party at Reduta Jazz Club, while the now-traditional Unofficial Karaoke Afterparty added a final, memorable touch — proving once again that the strongest connections are often built beyond the stage.

A Decade of Impact — And the Next Chapter Begins

Zoltan Tündik – HIPTHER Co-Founder & Head of Business stated: “Reaching the 10-year milestone with the HIPTHER Prague Summit is a proud moment of reflection for us. With 19 years of navigating the ever-evolving media and news landscape, we have seen firsthand how vital authentic connection is to industry progress. This edition was a celebration of a decade of impact, but it was also a launchpad for our next chapter. Over the next five years, our focus is on consolidation. We are deepening our roots in the CEE, D-A-CH, Baltic, and Nordic regions. However, we aren’t standing still. We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of the HIPTHER Balkans Summit in 2027, and we are keeping a very close watch on North America. The market there is ripe for the unique ‘HIPTHER-style’ of boutique, high-value networking, and I suspect we may have some surprises in store for that region very soon.”

RAW iGaming has unveiled BONUS RUSH®, a revolutionary slot game family designed to put players front and center in the moments they love most: the bonus features.

With BONUS RUSH®, RAW flips the traditional slot formula on its head. Instead of spreading RTP between the base game and bonus rounds, these titles allocate the entire RTP to the feature rounds, transforming the base game into a gateway to the main event. The result is faster, more intense gameplay where bonus features trigger more often and deliver the full potential of the game’s rewards.

Less Waiting, More Action

In classic slots, players often endure long base-game sessions before reaching the excitement of bonus rounds. BONUS RUSH® changes that, focusing gameplay on rapid access to the moments that define the experience. By concentrating value in the feature rounds, the format delivers a highly focused, adrenaline-packed gameplay loop that players crave.

Designed to be compatible with a wide range of regulated markets, BONUS RUSH® allows operators to offer feature-centric experiences without relying on bonus purchases or optional gameplay mechanics.

Launch Title: Fortune Teller’s Charm 6 BONUS RUSH

The first game in the series, Fortune Teller’s Charm 6 BONUS RUSH, immerses players in a mystical world of fortune tellers, magical charms, and enchanting rewards. Built on RAW’s RAWVerse Arena, the game combines rich visuals with a feature-driven structure that draws players quickly into the bonus rounds carrying the full reward potential.

This title marks the beginning of a rapidly expanding BONUS RUSH® portfolio, with multiple themes and mechanics planned for release in the coming months.

Expanding RAW’s Innovation Portfolio

BONUS RUSH® joins RAW’s lineup of proprietary gameplay formats, including SuperSlice®, SuperTracks®, SuperSymbols®, Smash Pots, and Scatter Magnets, all designed to deliver distinctive, engaging content for operators and players alike.

“Players love bonus rounds—they’re the peaks of excitement,” said Thomas Wood, CEO of RAW iGaming. “With BONUS RUSH®, we’ve designed an entirely new gameplay structure that brings players straight to those moments and makes them the heart of the experience. It’s another example of RAW focusing on innovation that truly changes the way games are played.”

What’s Next

Fortune Teller’s Charm 6 BONUS RUSH will be available to operators via RAW’s distribution network starting April 9th. Following this launch, RAW will release Scatters Matter BONUS RUSH and Popeye & Olive Oyl BONUS RUSH, with many more titles scheduled to follow.
