Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, will keep delivering consistent prizes to players as its powerhouse promotion Drops & Wins continues with a winter edition. Players and operators will be delighted to hear that the staggering prize pool of €1,000,000 per month is being maintained.

The Drops and Wins promotion was created by Pragmatic Play and is one of the largest prize pools ever fully sponsored by a game provider. The prize pool is split 50/50 between Slots and Live Casino. The winter edition takes place from the 17th November to the 9th February as Pragmatic Play has no intention of stopping the promotion that represents their relentless commitment to take player entertainment to the next level.

The winter edition of Drops and Wins brings a huge upgrade as Pragmatic Play is now including the Prize Drops feature in all Live Casino titles. Prize Drop mechanics can reward players completely at random as they place real-money qualifying bets in any of the games. The ‘anytime, anywhere’ nature of Prize Drops will now add a new layer of excitement to Pragmatic Play’s already innovative Live Casino portfolio.

Prize Drops is a very popular in-game promotional tool for Pragmatic Play’s iconic Slot favourites such as such as The Dog House Megaways along with new releases such as Gates of Olympus, but it is completely unique for Live Casino games across the whole industry.

This means that the most hotly anticipated Pragmatic Play Live Casino release of the year will have Prize Drops available for players. Sweet Bonanza CandyLand is the Live Casino version of the hugely successful candy-themed slot Sweet Bonanza. This immersive Live Casino experience will offer players something they have never seen before, and with Prize Drops now included, this game will go down even more of a treat for players. Alongside this new release, it will mean Live Casino favourites such as Mega Roulette and Blackjack Azure contain yet another element to entertain players.

Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “The Drops and Wins feature has been well received by both players and operators since its inception. The idea behind Drops and Wins was simple but profound, we tried to give players more of the feeling they seek when playing our games, the winning feeling. By adding Prize Drops to our Live Casino offering, we feel this brings another dimension of excitement to this great product.

Sweet Bonanza Candyland is going to turn some heads for sure when it launches in November, and by including Prize Drops, we are aiming to make a great product even better.”

Pragmatic Play currently produces up to five new Slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.

Real-money casual puzzle tournament startup says an EU private investor backed the April 2026 round.

EasyWin, a U.S.-based real-money gaming startup, said it has closed its second seed funding round at a $20 million valuation. The company announced the round in April 2026 and said it was backed by a private investor from the European Union.

The company previously closed its first seed round in December 2025 at a $15.5 million valuation. That round included funding from Velo Partners, Vladimir Nikolsky and several private angel investors.

EasyWin was founded by Ivan Leshkevich, a former executive at mobile game publisher and developer Mamboo Entertainment. The startup, which currently has a team of eight, says it has built a global tournament platform for casual puzzle games with cash prizes and operates across major markets.

Since launching in 2025, EasyWin reported 25% month-over-month growth in user spending and a 4.9 average user rating. It also said it has expanded into 12 countries with localized legal opinions and payment infrastructure, received PayPal approval for its MCC, and completed payments-stack integrations with global providers.

The company also said it has obtained GLI certification “confirming compliance with U.S. regulations for skill-based gaming products.” Leshkevich said: “In the long term, we aim to become a leading global skill-based gaming platform. To achieve this, we focus on a strong product USP and new AI-based dev tools.”

Downtown Las Vegas property says the July Super Bingo will be its largest prize purse to date, with sessions on July 4-5.

Plaza Hotel & Casino will stage a $250,000 “Super Bingo” event in Las Vegas July 3-5, positioning it as a special edition tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary. The operator said the prize pool is the largest in the series’ history.

“The Plaza will be celebrating its 55th anniversary and the 250th anniversary of our great country in July, so it is only fitting that we make our Super Bingo event that month our biggest and best ever,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “Our Super Bingo events have always drawn a packed crowd to our convention space, and we anticipate the July event to sell out quickly.”

According to the Plaza, Super Bingo draws nearly 1,000 attendees, including visitors traveling from Hawaii and Canada. For the July edition, bingo-only registration is set at $250 per person for gameplay on Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5. The Plaza is also offering an optional five-night hotel package priced at $200 per person, with no resort fee, for check-in July 2 and check-out July 6.

The Plaza outlined the payout structure as 20 games paying $1,999 each day, plus a daily “super coverall” of $60,000, second place of $15,000, and third place of $10,020. The casino said prizes will be paid in cash and players must be present to win.

Outside of the special event, the Plaza said its bingo room runs six daily sessions at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and is located two floors above the main casino.
