Crash Games
Million Games launches Give Me The Money crash game with player-controlled multipliers
Million Games has launched Give Me The Money, a new arcade-style crash game aimed at operators and aggregators, the supplier said on 25 June 2026. The title was announced from Skövde, Sweden.
Set in a carnival-themed environment, the game puts players behind a “money gun” that fires stacks of cash at a target to increase the multiplier. Million Games said progression is not automatic, with players controlling the pace via a FIRE mechanic that increases fire-rate while also increasing the chance of an instant crash event.
The release includes selectable low and high volatility modes, optional auto cashout, and rounds that can end immediately on a crash. Players can cash out at any point before a crash occurs, with Million Games stating a maximum win potential of up to x1000.
“With Give Me The Money, we wanted to build something simple, energetic, and immediately understandable,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Million Games. “The game takes familiar crash mechanics and adds a layer of player interaction that creates a different kind of pressure and pacing.”
Give Me The Money expands Million Games’ portfolio of crash formats, following titles including Chicken X and Temple X. The supplier said the game is now available for operators and aggregators.

Global TV Experts launches GTE Pacific ahead of New Zealand licensing
Global TV Experts has launched a New Zealand-focused operation, GTE Pacific, after securing access to nationwide television advertising inventory for licensed online gambling operators entering the country’s newly regulated market. The company announced the move in Auckland on 25 June, 2026.
The launch comes as New Zealand prepares to award up to 15 online casino licences, with licensed operators expected to begin launching later this year. Global TV Experts said competition is already building for early brand visibility and customer acquisition.
Ben Wilcockson, founder of Global TV Experts, said: “The winners in New Zealand will be decided long before the first bet is placed.
“This is a rare opportunity to launch into a regulated market with no established online casino leaders and no entrenched player habits. The operators that build awareness first will have a genuine opportunity to shape the market.
“With only a limited number of licences available and a finite amount of premium television inventory, the race to secure visibility has already started. That’s why we’ve launched GTE Pacific and secured nationwide inventory to help operators maximise their opportunity from day one.”
Global TV Experts said GTE Pacific is backed by its wider network, which it says has more than 15 years of experience supporting regulated gambling operators across more than 50 markets, including assisting partners entering newly regulated markets such as Ontario. The agency said it focuses on television campaigns and supporting operators in navigating advertising regulations.
