Casino Guru Teams Up with Mindway AI for Safer Gambling Week
Casino Guru, the largest database of online casinos and a respected gambling authority, has recently joined forces with Mindway AI, a leading Responsible Gambling solution provider and spin out of Aarhus University with 10+ years of research in neuroscience and problem gambling, to celebrate the Safer Gambling Week by giving players a chance to test their gambling style for free.
By completing a self-test cleverly disguised as a simple card game, players will be able to assess the riskiness of their play and gain access to a deep analysis of their gambling behavior, all with detailed feedback on their strategy and sensitivity to rewards, losses, and frequency of wins. What’s more, players will receive a personalized report, which includes advice tailored specifically to the player – all based on their behavior during the game.
When asked about how the collaboration came to fruition, Casino Guru’s Sustainable and Safer Gambling Lead Simon Vincze was enthusiastic to share the answer:
“Mindway AI are experts in what they do. I believe we have a real potential to help many individuals here, and I’m very grateful to Mindway AI for understanding that and supporting our idea. Knowledge is power, and the more information players have about their gambling patterns and tendencies, the better they can manage their play to avoid undesirable outcomes. Casino Guru is always looking for new ways to make gambling better and safer for everyone, and the fact that we are able to educate them in a fun way makes me very optimistic about the impact this collaboration can have,” Vincze explains.
Using the principles of neuroscience and psychology along with an in-built software, Gamalyze – the card game in question – analyzes the decision-making process of an individual and provides individualized feedback for each participant. The game can be easily accessed through a widget on Casino Guru’s website, which is hard to miss, so all visitors will have a chance to participate.
“At Mindway AI, we believe that enhanced player protection should be a matter of joining forces and collaborating between different types of industry players rather than a matter of competition on RG initiatives. We’re glad to collaborate with Casino Guru by adding our Gamalyze solution to their website, as it gives us the opportunity to reach a large number of players to offer insights of how they make decisions as they engage in gambling. We’re also able to promote our solution to other gambling operators and to share our mission to empower gambling operators to enhance player protection to the industry,” says Rasmus Kjaergaard, CEO at Mindway AI.
Although the Safer Gambling Week, a cross-industry initiative aimed at raising awareness about the benefits of safer gambling, officially runs from 17th to 23rd of October only, Casino Guru’s visitors can enjoy the benefit of being able to test themselves by playing the game for free until the end of October.
Both companies aim to bring the notion of safer gambling to the forefront of players’ minds once again, and this collaboration allows them to do so in a very creative and fun way.

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.”
