Cash Automation Solution Success for ITL Germany Partner, PerfectMoney
UK based cash handling provider, Innovative Technology (ITL) have secured several distribution suppliers for their CashGenic hygienic cash automation solution both in the UK and throughout Europe including Germany-based PerfectMoney.
Commenting on the success of the roll-out, Thorsten Labusch, VP of Sales said, “We are delighted with the fast pace of the CashGenic partner acquisition programme. It was first launched in May 2020 during the COVID pandemic to enable customers to pay with cash hygienically and safely. One of our partners, PerfectMoney, an innovative payment solutions provider based in South Germany are proudly building their own machines which they have rebranded ‘Vicky’. This high-performance, smart cash dispenser has space-saving dimensions so fits onto any counter making installations quick and easy.”
Christian Dieterich, CEO, PerfectMoney commented, “Last year we made the decision to expand our product portfolio to include ITL’s CashGenic kit built into our own payment machine. We are pleased with the success of the roll-out so far with several businesses reporting an uplift in cash takings after Vicky was installed. Although COVID may have initially triggered this development for hygiene reasons to reduce staff handling money, it brings many more advantages to the retailer. Securing cash payments, reducing accounting errors and cost efficiency continue to be key for the retail industry. Plus, cash remains the preferred payment of choice here in Germany, so we foresee take-up growing significantly over the coming years.”
One such customer, Rolf Otto from Harley-Davidson, based in Viersen commented on his motivations for buying the PerfectMoney Vicky cash machine, “The time we save justifies the device alone. I would definitely recommend it, especially in retail, even just for the additional security it gives.”
Thorsten concluded, “PerfectMoney are working with various retail outlets such as butchers, bakers, food trucks, farm shops, takeaways, fast-food restaurants, motorcycle shops, pharmacies, coffee shops and opticians to implement Vicky as their point-of-sale solution. Cash handling can traditionally be time-consuming, resource heavy and expensive. By automating payment processes retailers can eliminate cash register handovers and staff no longer need to count cash as the machine automatically does this, therefore saving time and generating greater efficiencies for the business. Following the success of our partnership with PerfectMoney, we are collaborating further, enhancing our relationship with them to supply a broader range of our cash handling products in the future.”

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.

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.”
