HIPTHER today reveals a strategic enhancement to its media portfolio. Starting January 2026, EuropeanGaming.eu will no longer be included in the HIPTHER portfolio.

This update comes after a finalized deal regarding the EuropeanGaming.eu domain. Consistent with best practices and contractual requirements, no additional information about the transaction will be revealed.

Notably, HIPTHER wants to directly clarify recent rumors: HIPTHER has not been sold, and there has been no alteration in ownership or control of the HIPTHER group.

The choice demonstrates an ongoing strategic emphasis on enhancing and expanding HIPTHER’s wider media ecosystem, which sustains a robust and expanding online presence across various sectors.

“EuropeanGaming.eu played an important role in HIPTHER’s journey, and we are proud of what was built over the years. This portfolio update is not an exit, but a refinement. HIPTHER remains fully independent, fully active, and more focused than ever on strengthening its core platforms and expanding our multi-industry media ecosystem. Our commitment to quality journalism, meaningful events, and global communities is unchanged.” – Zoltan Tundik, Co-Founder & Head of Business, HIPTHER.

HIPTHER’s active portfolio includes:

Through these channels, HIPTHER continues to deliver in-depth coverage, analysis, and thought leadership across gaming, technology, fintech, blockchain, AI, cybersecurity, and adjacent industries, supported by its global events, community initiatives, and multimedia content.

Hölle Games has released its latest online slot, Book of Sobek. This 5×3, 10 payline slot invites players to dive deep into the magical Nile and enter the aquatic temple of the ancient Crocodile God.

With every spin, the mighty Sobek may rise from the depths to bless the reels. When players manage to uncover 3 or more sacred Books, the temple chambers swing open, granting entry into the Free Games. Within this inner sanctum, a special expanding symbol is chosen; should it land, it will stretch across the reels like the flooding Nile, paving the way for monumental wins of up to 5000x. Featuring both Feature Buy and Fire Stake options, the game is available now for MGA with other markets coming soon.
