The SLAM DUNK app is based on the world’s best-selling anime basketball series and classic manga from Eisner Award nominee Takehiko Inoue

Huawei, the world leading technology company, announced it has partnered with Hong Kong’s leading game distributor, ForShow Games, to bring its latest mobile basketball game, SLAM DUNK, to HUAWEI AppGallery – available for immediate download in the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Australia. Roll-out across other European markets, including Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal and Ireland is expected from March onwards.

Just in time for the highly anticipated arrival of SLAM DUNK the movie, which sent fans into a frenzy when it was announced on social media by creator Inoue Takehiko earlier this year, the SLAM DUNK app is based on the 1990’s iconic Japanese manga, which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary.

The series has been beautifully remastered to create an incredibly immersive mobile gaming experience, whilst maintaining the stylistic references and much-loved characters from the original manga, that many fans came to know and love. The game explores the life of Hanamichi Sakuragi and his journey from an outsider at a new school, to discovering his love and passion of basketball and achieving his dream of entering the National Championship.

Featuring single player as well as competitor modes, including 2V2 and 3V3, SLAM DUNK is the perfect game for playing alone, or with friends and family. Single player mode offers gamers the chance to improve their skills with personal training, helpful for getting to grips with the court, whilst multiplayer mode enables users to tackle opponents and easily track player rankings.

With smooth graphics and the authentic style of the original magna, SLAM DUNK lets gamers choose from a wide selection of original characters, ignite their passion for basketball, and enjoy battling with friends, anywhere and anytime, as they move through the ranks on-court whilst showing off skills synonymous with the original anime, such as “Solid Defence” and “Gorilla Dunk”.

Peter Gauden, Head of WEU EcoSystem Marketing at Huawei CBG commented: “We are committed to bringing the biggest, most iconic apps and services to AppGallery to our 42 million monthly users across Europe. With mobile gaming becoming increasingly popular, SLAM DUNK offers a classic, yet remastered experience that will help awaken childhood memories and offer an escape from the everyday, courtesy of the world’s best-selling basketball anime series.”

Frank Zhang, CEO of ForShow Games added: “We’re thrilled that SLAM DUNK will now be more widely available thanks to AppGallery, offering more of the original manga’s fans the chance to re-embrace the basketball classic. With such a huge user base, AppGallery is the perfect partner for helping gamers try a new gaming challenge and become a basketball legend.” 

Available in more than 170 countries and regions, AppGallery is one of the top three app marketplaces in the world: an app store where users can easily and securely discover, find and download thousands of apps, like SLAM DUNK by ForShow Games, who developed the app alongside globally renowned game distributor, DeNA. Continuously growing the range of top apps and services available to users, year-on-year, global AppGallery downloads grew by 83% in 2020, firmly cementing its status as a staple part of Huawei users’ digital lifestyle.

The IBJR stresses that combating the illegal market is crucial for Desenrola 2.0

The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) warns that the effectiveness of financial protection measures in Desenrola 2.0 fundamentally depends on a rigorous fight against the illegal betting market.

It is also worth emphasizing that in 2025, bets placed on licensed platforms accounted for the equivalent of only 0.46% of household consumption in the country, an extremely small share within the Brazilian budget, according to data from a study by LCA Consultoria.

This reinforces that the main factor of indebtedness in the Brazilian budget continues to be the high cost of credit.

The entity also emphasizes that restrictions on access to the regulated sector may encourage users to migrate to clandestine platforms, which already move around R$ 40 billion per year and operate without any oversight or consumer protection mechanisms.

Combating the illegal market is the most urgent step to prevent unlicensed operators—often associated with organized crime—from exploiting periods of restriction to attract vulnerable audiences.

This concern is heightened by the proximity of the World Cup, a period of natural increase in the volume of sports betting, and by the potential loss of R$ 10.8 billion in revenue for the country if consumption shifts to the underground market.

The IBJR reinforces that the real protection of citizens and the integrity of Desenrola 2.0 depend on coordinated action between the government and the private sector.

The organization advocates for public policies that combine financial education, strengthening responsible gambling, and a strategic offensive against clandestine websites, ensuring that entertainment occurs exclusively within a safe, transparent, and properly monitored ecosystem.

This includes live race micro markets, predictive driver performance modeling, and large-scale race simulations that generate thousands of possible race outcomes per event, allowing for deeper and more accurate pricing across every lap.

“Formula 1 is one of the most complex and data-rich environments in global sport, and that complexity creates an opportunity to completely redefine the betting experience. Our platform is designed to unlock that potential at scale, and partnering with Caesars allows us to bring a truly differentiated, always-on product to market that reflects the speed, strategy, and unpredictability of Formula 1,” said Joe Dunnigan, CEO and Founder of ALT Sports Data.

“Formula 1 continues to captivate fans with its intensity, strategy, and constant innovation. By integrating ALT Sports Data’s advanced modeling and real-time official data, we’re able to elevate our Formula 1 offering and give customers a more dynamic way to experience every moment of the race weekend,” said Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital.

In addition to core markets such as race winner and podium finishes, Caesars and William Hill will offer an expanded set of in-play and micro markets, including lap-by-lap driver matchups, fastest segment performance, pit stop outcomes, overtakes, and position-based milestones. These markets are designed to evolve in real time, enabling a true race-within-a-race experience for bettors.
