After the launch of the DIAMOND X™ 2.32 multi-screen cabinet in March, NOVOMATIC now follows up with the brand-new DIAMOND X™ 1.55 J-curve version of this magnificent video slot cabinet. Its elegant J-curved 1.55” UHD PCAP touchscreen and the exquisite LED silhouette make the DIAMOND X™ 1.55 a safe bet for exciting curve screen game presentation and maximum player appeal.

Refined details like the large foot well, two XL start buttons and the indirect LED lighting concept with intelligent game-synched colour effects ideally contrasting the black metro finish create a sophisticated blend of ergonomics and ambiance. Further design elements, which the DIAMOND X™ 1.55J shares with its sister cabinet are the modern front door panel with the characteristic facelift of the grill and the player interface options: button deck as a standard and a 15.6” TouchDeck™ player interface complemented by two extra-large physical buttons as an option.

The improved maintenance concept for the DIAMOND X™ 1.55J includes a monitor mounting that can be hydraulically lifted, granting excellent access to the key components as well as a folding mechanism for space-optimized, safe transport.

The DIAMOND X™ 1.55J now launches with the exclusive XTENSION LINK™ for the international markets.

Jakob Rothwangl, VP Global Sales NOVOMATIC AG, said: “The DIAMOND X™ 1.55J is our first NOVOMATIC cabinet with the J-curved screen and in any case a successful premiere. It perfectly complements the 2.32 multi-screen version, delivering a highly intriguing presence on the gaming floor, thanks to its stunning indirect LED lighting concept against the backdrop of the black finish. This hardware achievement is complemented by exciting and dedicated content utilizing the big upright screen format. I dare says that the DIAMOND X™ 1.55J definitely has the makings of a new bestseller.”

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.”
