Relax Gaming, the iGaming aggregator and supplier of unique content,has racked up seven lucky millionaires in less than 12 months, with a player scooping a life-changing jackpot when playing Temple Tumble 2 Dream Drop on the Unibet platform.

Following a €1.27 bet, the player walked away with a staggering €2,408,389 million, becoming the seventh person to win a seven-figure sum on a Relax Gaming jackpot title since Dream Drop’s launch less than a year ago.

This latest big prize comes less than a month after the sixth millionaire was made, which further highlights that rewards are there to be won within the brand’s top-quality portfolio, and makes the slot the first ever jackpot product to reseed higher than its last jackpot fallout amount.

Released in May 2022, Temple Tumble 2 Dream Drop was the first of Relax’s titles to incorporate the highly anticipated Dream Drop Jackpots mechanic, a progressive jackpot activated by landing six Dream Drop symbols in the randomly-triggered jackpot entry spin.

The feature-rich, adventure-packed sequel to all-time top-performer Temple Tumble contains a number of other free spin modes and features including tumbles galore, wilds, and increasing multipliers that all contributed to the excitement surrounding this blockbuster hit.

Commenting on the win, Simon Hammon, CEO at Relax Gaming, said: “To have had two seven-figure wins in quick succession further highlights the success and popularity of our jackpot mechanic and to see players enjoy our content and land those big wins fills us with joy.

“We have only scratched the surface with this mechanic as there are a number of fantastic Dream Drop Jackpot titles coming to casinos this year and we’re excited to see this winning momentum continue at pace.’’

David Robertson, Director Casino and Gaming at Kindred Group, said: “It is always a thrill for us to see players win life-changing sums on our platform.

“The Relax library continues to resonate thanks to the engaging and innovative content available, and these regular big wins will only enhance the satisfaction that players have for the Dream Drop titles.”

Established as one of the industry’s leading B2B suppliers, Relax Gaming was recently named the Best Mobile Gaming Software Provider at the EGR B2B Awards, Casino / Slot Developer of the Year at the SBC Awards, and was awarded GGA’s Product Launch of the Year for Dream Drop Jackpots in February.

Relax Gaming provides more than 4,000 online casino games, from its high-performing proprietary slots to a significant, varied library of content from hand-picked third-party studios via its partnership programmes.

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
