Platform and aggregator Groove has announced that leading Asian games studio KA Gaming is now live with KA Gaming’s portfolio about to hit the magic 400 games landmark. KA Gaming have released six games this month, GO GO Magic Dog, Fantasy Dragons, Solomon’s Treasure, Dragon Boat2Lock 2 Spin, Bigfoot Yeti and Hunter Helibu, keeping to a frenetic games release schedule of over 10 games monthly.

KA Gaming is one of the largest games providers in Asia and has carved out an outstanding international reputation based on a highly diversified portfolio, beautiful thematics and immersive gameplay. Founded in 2014, KA Gaming has released a number of slots games for the land-based, online and mobile casino markets, as well as fish games, which are extremely popular globally. Currently KA Gaming has 18 fish games in the portfolio.

With a combined experience of over 30 years in slots games development, the team behind KA Gaming are well placed to expand the range with more unique titles along with others that provide familiar symbols, settings and features, such as Luck 88, Treasure Bowl, Bonus Mania, Golden Bull, Treasure Tiger, King of Dragon, Monkey Maniac, Fortune Ganesha, Fu Shenlong; innovative fish-shooting games like KA Fish Hunter, Golden Dragon, Fishing Expedition, Poseidon’s Secret, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, King Octopus and 1942, amongst others, that are one of the top gambling categories in Asia.

Fish shooting games are based on a devilishly simple but immersive play mechanic. A group of players shoot fish with currency cannons for rewards, the last shot claiming all the reward invested by players in that fish. The cannons are placed on various sides of the screen, and everyone shoots the same pool of fish. Players must decide which fish to shoot; it is much easier to kill a small fish for fewer rewards than a large fish for bigger rewards. Fish also float in and out of the screen, so players have to keep track of whether the fish has just entered the screen or is about to swim out.

KA Gaming’s portfolio supports well over 100 currencies, including many cryptocurrencies and with an average RTP of 96% KA Gaming’s slots are considered fair and attractive to players around the world and are in-demand with operators in many regions for their range of choice that embraces hundreds of slots, fish games, baccarat, super video poker and super keno.

Groove is an award-winning platform and aggregator powered by technology innovation providing operators with the ability to activate a range of features that enhance customer experience and engagement, improve retention, encourage extended play and produce a higher yield.

Groove’s ever-expanding collection of games from latest releases to time-worn classics is rapidly becoming one of the biggest content platforms and the company is adding to the portfolio at a rapid rate through partnerships like the one with KA Gaming which will see over 100 games added this year from the dynamic studio.

Groove has rapidly built a powerful operator cluster around its technology and is supported by one of the strongest technical teams in the industry as the game aggregator of choice for a cluster of more than 60 operators. Groove’s powerful platform includes thousands of casino games as well as a wealth of aggregated content ranging from slots, sportsbook, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, that operators can access via easy integration to drive player engagement and revenue.

Daniel Huang, CEO of KA Gaming, said: “Groove is an important distribution channel and we are pleased to reinforce their Asian content while gaining access through them to key European, African and South American markets. We’re interested to see how our fish games fare and anticipate that the thematics in our slots will give operators and players something different that is attuned to the fast-paced evolution of the market.”

Yahale Meltzer, COO at Groove said: “There’s no doubt that everyone in the industry will find something that they can align with and make money from in our game library, which has just had an injection of new content from KA Gaming. The Groove brand is synonymous with quickly seeing opportunities and we’re delighted to work with an enterprising game developer like KA Gaming who brings a lot to the table.”

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%

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.”
