Distribution enhanced in several major markets thanks to top-tier partnership

ORYX Gaming, a Bragg Gaming Group company, is set to significantly boost its profile in the global iGaming industry thanks to an integration deal with gaming giant Playtech.

The full range of games from ORYX is set to become available to operators via the Playtech Games Marketplace which will see it join over 30 of the industry’s leading suppliers in providing content to markets such as Spain, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the UK.

Content from the ORYX Hub distribution platform includes more than 10,000 games from over 100 suppliers including exclusive titles from its partners such as Gamomat, Peter & Sons, Golden Hero and Kalamba, as well as ORYX’s own in-house studio which recently relaunched and is on track to release five proprietary titles in 2021.

The array of high-quality titles will benefit from ORYX’s FUZE player engagement tools, such as missions, quests, and tournaments with real-time leaderboards, which have been proven to boost acquisition and retention rates.

The deal is the latest commercial success for Bragg and maintains the company’s momentum as it pursues its ambitious global growth strategy. It comes after a string of announcements in recent months including its entry into Greece and Serbia and its upcoming debut in the UK.

Chris Looney, Chief Commercial Officer at Bragg, said: “This partnership continues our expansion into regulated markets, getting our content in front of more of the industry’s leading operators and their players. Playtech Games Marketplace is the perfect platform to complement our vast offering and engagement tools at a time of our market expansion globally.”

Andrew Muir, Commercial Manager at Playtech, said: “ORYX’s wide range of games will be a fantastic addition to the impressive portfolio of games we offer to our partners through the Playtech Games Marketplace.

“We aim to deliver our customers the best possible experience with the market’s finest games, and we’re delighted to welcome ORYX on board.”

Psiclone Games and Playtech-built title features three Free Spins modifiers, including expanding reels, sliding wilds and jackpots up to 500x bet.

PokerStars Casino has released Skullapalooza as the fifth game in its 2026 The Slotlist series, making the title the featured slot on the operator’s Casino tab for the month.

Skullapalooza is developed by Psiclone Games and Playtech. The game’s core hook is a Free Spins system built around three “Skull” features that can be triggered individually or in combination: expanding reels, jackpot accumulators and stacked sliding wilds.

According to the company, players can land different coloured gems to randomly trigger one or more Free Spins variants. Pink gems may trigger Free Games with Expanding Reels, blue gems may add Sliding Wilds, and purple gems may activate pots with a grand prize of up to 500x total bet. The company said all three variants can be active at once.

“The Slotlist is designed to spotlight games that deliver a well-rounded player experience, combining innovative features, striking visuals, and immersive gameplay”, said Ed Fogarty, Associate Director of PokerStars Casino Commercial. “Skullapalooza embodies all these qualities, and we’re thrilled to feature it prominently in The Slotlist this month.”

Skullapalooza joins earlier 2026 Slotlist picks including Baozang Empire of Plenty, Magnificent Power Leprechaun, and 12 Burning Baseballs.

Arizona extends Gaming Department for six years; problem gambling budget rises 20%

Governor Hobbs signs SB 1671; new budget sets $4M spend authority plus $500K a year from event wagering funds.

The Arizona Department of Gaming has secured a six-year continuation after Governor Hobbs signed Senate Bill 1671, following the 2026 legislative session that adjourned June 12, 2026. The continuation also covers the Arizona State Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission and the Arizona Racing Commission.

The Department said SB 1671 affirms its authority to regulate tribal gaming, event wagering and fantasy sports, horse racing and simulcast wagering, and boxing and mixed martial arts.

In parallel, the Department said Senate Bill 1847 and the state’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget expand expenditure authority for its Division of Problem Gambling. The budget authorizes $4,000,000 in total spending for the Division, which the agency said is a 20% increase from FY26.

The Department also said the legislature granted an annual $500,000 expenditure authority to use Event Wagering funds to support problem gambling, and that the Division will have grant oversight authority for the first time.

Arizona first established the Department of Gaming in 1995 – and more than thirty years later, we remain excited about world-class regulation benefiting the entire state,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “I’m grateful to Governor Hobbs and leaders in the state legislature, particularly continuation bill sponsor State Senator Shawnna Bolick, who thoroughly reviewed our agency with a deep commitment to public service, and I am pleased that the Department secured its continuation, which will allow us to strengthen our focus points in robust consumer protection and integrity.”

“The new state budget will strengthen longstanding investments in problem gambling assistance made possible through partnerships with Arizona’s Tribal Nations and the Arizona Lottery,” said Elise Mikkelsen. “We continue to see strong demand from individuals and families seeking information, resources, and treatment for gambling-related harm. This increased funding will help us expand the continuum of care and ensure more Arizonans have access to effective, inclusive, and timely support.”
