Real Dealer Studios unveils Fortune FinderTM show-game series starring Sarati and Holly
Cinematic games developer expanding into new product category with two money-wheel titles
Real Dealer Studios, known for its moviemaking approach to RNG games production, will be breaking new ground this week by launching the first of two titles in its new money-wheel series, Fortune Finder. The move marks the studio’s debut in the increasingly popular show games genre.
Fortune Finder with Sarati, set to premiere February 25th, will be joined in early March by the second game, Fortune Finder with Holly. As with the studio’s Real Roulette and Real Baccarat series, the new money-wheel games are created by integrating high-quality recorded video clips into an RNG framework. Developed as a superior alternative to live casino, the approach results in an immersive, personalised gameplay experience that doesn’t rely on the live studio infrastructure.
The Fortune Finder games are set in a modern TV studio with an eye-catching backdrop similar to those found in the world’s most popular game shows. Show hosts engage players in a one-to-one fashion by reacting to wins and the thrilling multiplier rounds that can land during the game.
Real Dealer’s games use professional actors, as well as film directors and post-production crew to ensure Hollywood levels of cinematography and a flawless performance. Players will recognise both Sarati and Holly, played by Los Angeles-based actors, from their respective titles in Real Roulette.
Operators and players alike will appreciate the games’ quick loading, error-free operation and seamless gameplay across both desktop and mobile.
Shane Cotter, Chief Product Officer at Real Dealer Studios, said: “We are delighted to start the show with Fortune Finder with Sarati, our first money-wheel title, which offers the unique, engaging and highly entertaining player experience for which we are becoming well known.
“Our games are designed to be different from standard studio-based live dealer games, providing a seamless experience that is authentic, immersive and hugely rewarding from the first game round to the last.
“We can’t wait to see Fortune Finder games land in operator lobbies and for players to enjoy the superior experience that these games and our other titles have to offer.”

First release is Avinho R10, followed by June launch Fortune Ronaldinho as the studio lines up more titles ahead of the World Cup season.
Pascal Gaming has partnered with Brazilian football player Ronaldinho to launch a dedicated portfolio of games inspired by the athlete, the company said on 26 May, 2026.
The planned pipeline includes crash games, slots and additional titles set to roll out through the year. Pascal Gaming said the initiative is aimed at both Brazil and international markets, and will be supported by tournaments, promotional activity and special events tied to the Ronaldinho-branded portfolio.
The first game confirmed is Avinho R10, described as a crash-style title featuring Ronaldinho “above Brazil” in an aviation-themed experience. A second game, Fortune Ronaldinho, is scheduled for release in June and is positioned as a slot-inspired title.
“Ronaldinho is one of the most recognisable and loved football personalities in the world, so for us this collaboration is much more than a game launch. It is a global entertainment project that combines football culture, emotionally engaging gameplay and strong promotional activities ahead of the World Cup,” said Armen Mnaskanian, Head of Sales at SoftConstruct Gaming Content.
Pascal Gaming said it has been expanding its crash game portfolio during 2026 and investing in localised, character-driven content across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The company added that more Ronaldinho-themed titles and marketing campaigns will be revealed in the coming months.

The JUSTIN2026 campaign was shot in Denver and rolls out over four weeks ahead of the 14 June event at the White House.
Duelbits has launched a branded content campaign with UFC interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje, timed to UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Saturday 14th June.
The campaign, branded JUSTIN2026, was shot on location in Denver, Colorado by UK-based creative agency YRDS. Duelbits said the content is designed as a “premium, cinematic series” and will roll out in phases over the next four weeks, peaking on event day.
According to the company, the campaign was planned before UFC Freedom was officially confirmed. Duelbits framed the early commitment as part of a strategy to move faster than traditional sportsbooks around major cultural moments.
“We didn’t want to create another sportsbook promo,” said Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits. “We wanted to create something that combat sports fans want to watch, content built around Justin’s authenticity and intensity, not just his fight record. We were planning this before the White House event was even officially confirmed. When you believe in the magnitude of a moment, you don’t wait for permission to act on it.”
“Duelbits came to me with a vision, not just a brief,” said Gaethje. “They wanted to create something that reflected the reality of what I do and who I am, with no smoke and mirrors. When a brand shows up with that kind of conviction and creative ambition, you back it. This campaign is going to be something people remember.”

Belgium stop at Circus Casino Resort Namur runs May 27–June 7 and adds PokerStars Live League points toward a €157,500 credit pool.
PokerStars will bring PokerStars Open Namur back to Circus Casino Resort Namur from May 27 to June 7, with the festival returning one day after the operator’s May 26 announcement.
The stop follows a 2025 edition PokerStars said was record-breaking for Belgium, including 1,571 entries in the Main Event and what it called the largest live tournament prize pool in Belgian poker history.
This year’s schedule is headlined by the €1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event, which carries a €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Other listed highlights include the €400 PokerStars Open Cup (May 27-31), €3,300 Super High Roller (June 1-2), €2,200 High Roller (June 5-6), and €800 Mystery Bounty (June 6-7).
“Last year’s turnout reinforced Namur’s place as one of the most exciting live poker stops in Europe,” said Cedric Billot, Associate Director of Live Events Operations at PokerStars. “What makes the event special isn’t just the size of the fields, it’s the atmosphere around the entire festival.”
PokerStars also positioned Namur as a scoring stop in the PokerStars Live League, which awards points across High, Medium and Low leaderboard tiers. PokerStars said players are competing for a share of €157,500 in PokerStars LIVE event credit, with the top 30 players in each tier qualifying for a €100,000 freeroll at the first European Poker Tour festival of 2027.
