Raise your hand if you love the circus. The acrobatic skills of circus athletes and people with “freakish” abilities as well as animal acts have always been a fun ride for circusgoers. If you haven’t been to the circus in a while, you can now visit a great one in Expanse studios’ new release called Circus Fever Deluxe.

A new game by the Maltese studio is available only in Meridianbet casino. It perfectly replicates the atmosphere of those crazy tents where you can watch unique acrobatic acts involving people and animals. There are jokers around every corner too with good ol’ jokes and gags ready to step in and make the experience much more enjoyable.

You can spin the slot for free or real money in Meridianbet casino. We suggest going for the demo first since this isn’t the slot you’re used to playing.

A Deluxe and Wild Ride
The Circus Fever Deluxe contains of the main game called Plinko and two bonus games – dice and coin flip. It looks pretty unusual for a slot. You won’t find reels on this one, but rather obstacles that the ball must pass through to land in one of the numbered spots. It’s like a cross between an online slot and a pinball machine, with the circus joker in the main role.

In the Plinko main game, players can bet on one of 5 numbers. Those are 1, 2, 4, 6, and 9. You start by placing a chip value from the right side of the slot. Adjust the bet to what you’re most comfortable with and hit the Play button. The Joker will drop a ball from his mouth, but before that happens, those two spots beneath it will randomly select a chip and multiplier. If you’re lucky for the ball to pass through the obstacles and land in that spot, your bet will be multiplied up to 20x your stake.

You get a payout if the ball lands on the corresponding field. There are magician hats as well. The red one is for the Dice game while the violet one is for the Coin Flip bonus round.

Two Thrilling Bonus Rounds
As mentioned, you’ll see two magician’s hats which are responsible for the two bonus games. If the ball falls into the red hat, you’ll enter the Dice game.

As the name suggests, the dice bonus round begins with two rolling dices and a table that displays the payouts. Press the roll button when ready, and the dice will roll to show a pair of numbers. The possible payouts for the combinations range between 2x and 50x your bet, so this bonus can be pretty lucrative.

The second bonus round is called Coin Flip. It is triggered when the ball lands in the violet hat. This is a simple bonus round that consists of a spinning coin and two slots. Payouts are drawn for each side of the coin, and you get the one the coin flip corresponds to. The possible payout are a bit lower than the Dice bonus game, ranging between x2 and x30 your stake.

A Thrilling Trip to the Circus
There haven’t been many innovative circus-themed releases in a while, but Circus Fever Deluxe by Expanse Studios is certainly a perfect hit. Available in Meridianbet casino for free or real money, it’s a game that you simply must try.
You’ll love the unusual appearance and gameplay and the multiplier-infused rewards. With a bit of luck, you’ll hit the largest ones in Plinko and enjoy a stunning range of rewards that can certainly boost your bankroll nicely.

From Q1 2025, Kambi will amend the way data supplier costs are presented in its income statement. They will be reclassified from operating expenses to cost of sales, and result in a new sub-total: gross profit. This better presents them as variable costs related to delivery of revenue streams, allowing for easier comparison.

Furthermore, Kambi has decided to change the naming of its alternative performance measures (APMs) and to start using Adjusted EBITA (acq) and Adjusted EBITDA (previously EBITA (acq) and EBITDA) to make it more apparent that items affecting comparability are excluded from these measures.

Old name	New name	Definition
EBITA (acq)	Adjusted EBITA (acq)	Earnings before interest, taxation, amortisation on acquired intangible assets and items affecting comparability.
EBITDA	Adjusted EBITDA	Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, amortisation on both acquired intangible assets and capitalised development costs and items affecting comparability.

To allow for a more condensed income statement, a reconciliation from Operating profit to Adjusted EBITA (acq) and Adjusted EBITDA will be included separately.

Reformatted figures for 2023 and for 2024 are attached to this announcement.

The Esports World Cup has introduced a refined tournament schedule to enhance viewership across its expanded lineup. Finals will now take place on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays – reducing overlap and ensuring dedicated coverage for each title. Tickets for EWC 2025 are now available to purchase at esportsworldcup.com.

The total $70+ million prize pool is allocated across the Club Championship, Game Championships, MVP Awards, and EWC Qualifiers.

Game Championships will feature their own prize pools, totaling over $38 million combined, while standout players will compete for a share of the $450,000 MVP Award pool.

Open to all participating organizations, the Club Championship awards points for top-eight finishes across tournaments. To claim the title, Clubs must secure at least two top-eight placements and win at least one tournament. New for 2025, joint ventures — collaborations between two distinct organizations on a specific roster — will be ineligible for points, with Clubs required to compete under one aligned name throughout the EWC to qualify. The Club that shows both consistency and competitive excellence across the entire EWC calendar, will be crowned the Esports World Cup Club Champion at the EWC 2025 closing ceremony on August 24, 2025.

At EWC 2024, Team Falcons dominated with 5,665 points and three tournament wins to claim the $7 million Club Championship.
