In-demand provider of premium live dealer content strengthens portfolio with latest title that offers whole new live blackjack experience

It’s live dealer blackjack but like you’ve never seen it before. Stakelogic Live, the go-to provider of premium live content, is once again changing the game with the launch of Super Stake Blackjack, its most thrilling game to date.

Super Stake Blackjack is based on the classic America Blackjack rules, but with gameplay supercharged by combining it with the provider’s innovative Super Stake feature. This sees Win Multipliers appear on screen in the beginning of each round as Golden Cards.

First, let’s take a closer look at the base game. Super Stake Blackjack is scalable and can be played by multiple players at once. The game is based on the optimal BlackJack strategy, where HIT/STAND decisions will be made automatically. After the hand is dealt, players can choose whether to Split, No Split, Double or No Double – the simple choice of Split or Double makes it ideal for new players. In case both the player’s cards match the Golden Cards, players will be able to make any Blackjack decision without optimal strategy.

Super Stake allows players to Multiply their main bet from x2 all the way up to x60. Players must cover a 50% fee in addition to their bet to activate Super Stake.

Once bets are closed, the screen behind the wheel then displays six Golden Cards at random. Each card has a Multiplier value of either x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x8, x10, x12, x15 or x30.

If the player’s card matches one or two of the Golden Cards and they win their hand, their initial bet will be Multiplied by the value shown on both cards, up to a maximum of x60. If none of their cards matches the Golden Cards, they will receive the standard BlackJack payouts.

If that wasn’t enough big-win action, Super Stake Blackjack has four side bets for players to choose from including Golden Pairs, 3, Golden 3 and Buzz-T.

Golden Pairs – if the first two player cards are a pair combination, the player receives a prize.

3 – If the three cards (player’s first two and the dealer’s first) create one of five different combinations, the player receives a payout.

Golden 3 – The player receives a payout if the first three cards form a three-card poker hand.

Buzz-T – players bet that the dealer will bust.

Richard Walker, Head of Live at Stakelogic, said: “Blackjack is a live casino staple but with Super Stake Blackjack we have taken the player experience to a whole new level. This means that players can enjoy the core blackjack experience while interacting with the dealer and take advantage of amplified big-win potential.

The addition of not one, not two, but four side bets make this a varied and compelling live blackjack title that will appeal to all player types from seasoned blackjackers to those trying to beat the dealer for the very first time.”

Light & Wonder has officially launched Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures, the digital debut of its highly successful land-based franchise. Developed by in-house specialist studio Lightning Box, this 3×5 slot offers 243 ways to win and a high-energy “three-pot” mechanic that has already become a staple on casino floors worldwide.

The game transitions the whimsical “dumpling-tossing” theme to online audiences, combining vibrant Asian-inspired aesthetics with a deep mathematical model designed for high-engagement sessions.

The Three-Pot Mechanic & Seven Feature Combinations

At the core of the gameplay is the persistent pot system. Landing specific colored coins fuels three separate pots—Yummy, Spicy, and Upsized. These pots can trigger individually or in any combination, leading to seven distinct bonus paths.

Feature Mode	Gameplay Enhancement
Yummy Mode	Increases the Hold & Spin respin counter from 3 to 4, significantly extending bonus life.
Spicy Mode	Introduces Chilli multipliers; landing a pepper adds its cash value to every symbol currently held on the board.
Upsized Mode	Unlocks a Dual Grid (two reel sets) for the Hold & Spin round, doubling the win potential.
Combined Modes	Triggering all three at once creates the “Mega Bonus,” featuring dual grids, 4 respins, and value-boosting peppers.

Innovation: The Stack N’ Hit Feature

Unlike traditional Hold & Spin mechanics where symbols simply lock until the round ends, Tasty Treasures introduces the Stack N’ Hit evolution.

Reel Clearing: When a vertical reel is filled with Bun symbols, the prizes are instantly collected, and the reel is cleared.
Persistent Respins: Clearing a reel creates open spaces for new prizes to land, allowing the bonus round to continue far longer than standard industry alternatives.
The Path to Grand: Each cleared reel activates a “Pepper Tracker” above it. Lighting up all five trackers awards the Grand Progressive Jackpot.

Jackpot Tiers & Base Game Depth

Operators benefit from a versatile math model that supports both consistent base-game performance and high-volatility jackpot chases.

Progressive Jackpots: Grand and Major tiers for life-changing win potential.
Fixed Jackpots: Minor and Mini tiers awarded through symbols landing during features.
Nudge Wilds: In the base game, Wild symbols can nudge to cover entire reels, assisting in achieving the 243-way payouts.

“Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures carries forward a brand that has already made its mark in land-based venues,” says Michael Maokhamphiou, Studio Director at Lightning Box. “This release offers operators a flexible, high-performing title that combines familiarity with fresh layers of engagement.”

How Venezuela’s iGaming market is reacting to US pressure

Blask data indicates Venezuela’s iGaming demand remained stable in the initial days following the US operation in Caracas.

On 3 January, US forces detained Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, transporting him from Caracas to face prosecution in New York. The raid came after months of intensifying American pressure throughout 2025 — naval presence, targeted strikes, and a fresh sanctions package.

For Venezuela’s iGaming sector, the disruption poses a critical question: will demand collapse, or adapt?

First results

Blask’s daily Index remained within a tight corridor from 1–4 January, hovering in the high-200K zone. It dropped 5% to 257.4K on the day of the operation, before recovering the next day.

The data reveals no abrupt demand shift during this period. A slight decline sits within Venezuela’s normal daily fluctuations and does not point to a fundamental market change.

Rapid expansion, growing dominance

Venezuela stood out as one of iGaming’s strongest demand gainers in 2025. Blask Index surged 134.9% year-on-year — the second-highest growth worldwide.

This expansion came alongside increasing market dominance. By December, Triunfo Bet commanded 59% of Blask’s BAP (Brand Accumulated Power, measuring a brand’s portion of total user interest nationally), gaining 15 percentage points since January. The top three brands collectively reached over 85%, up 11 points.

How Groove Technologies Powered a Landmark Year of Global Expansion

As the iGaming industry enters 2026, award-winning platform and aggregator Groove Technologies is reflecting on a transformative 2025. This landmark year was defined by strategic expansion, technological innovation, and a significant deepening of its global roots, solidifying Groove’s role as a comprehensive growth engine for operators worldwide.

Strategic Leadership and Market Penetration

A key catalyst for this growth was the appointment of Giusy Campo as Business Development Director. With over 15 years of experience (including a notable tenure at GLI), Campo’s mandate was to structure and accelerate the company’s push into complex regulated markets.

The “LATAM Story”: Brazil and Argentina

A headline achievement for the year was securing a license to operate in Brazil as the country launched its regulated market on January 1, 2025. Coupled with established activity in Argentina, this move forms the foundation of Groove’s Latin American strategy.

“Brazil isn’t just another market; it’s a statement of intent,” says Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and COO. “With Giusy Campo leading our business development, we are systematically building the partnerships necessary for long-term success in regulated regions.”

Technological Innovation: Groove Command & Instant Tournaments

2025 saw Groove transition from a powerful aggregator to a complete engagement ecosystem with the launch of its proprietary Instant Tournaments tool, integrated directly into the Groove Command (Sinatra) Back Office.

Key Platform Advancements:

Self-Service Marketing: Operators can now launch and manage tournaments and Free Round Bonuses (FRB) in minutes without technical intervention.
Ecosystem Growth: The platform onboarded 20+ new game providers and 10+ new operator partners in 2025.
Vertical Expansion: Significant growth in the Sweepstakes and Crypto gaming sectors, responding to evolving partner demand.

Metric	2025 Achievement
New Providers	20+ Added
New Operators	10+ Onboarded
Total Game Catalog	15,000+ Titles
Global Presence	10 Major Events across 4 Continents

Diversified Partnerships: From Crypto to National Lotteries

Demonstrating the platform’s versatility, Groove secured a landmark partnership with Azerlotereya, the national lottery of Azerbaijan. This collaboration validates the robustness and compliance of Groove’s infrastructure in government-backed, high-stringency environments.

Operational Scale and Global Infrastructure

To support these ambitions, Groove scaled its global support network. The company now maintains offices in Israel, Georgia, and Malta, offering 24/7 multilingual technical and account services.

“Our expansion into sweepstakes and crypto wasn’t opportunistic; it was a response to clear partner demand,” reflects Meltzer. “When an operator in Georgia or a partner in São Paulo has a question, they get an answer from someone who understands their market context, not just their technical issue.”
