ZITRO IS SET TO IMPRESS AT THIS YEAR’S IGA WITH A DIVERSE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
At the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention (IGA) 2024, held at the Anaheim Convention Center in California, Zitro, located at booth 1454, will exhibit thrilling new releases for their GLARE cabinet line, which will highlight their pledge for innovation and excellence in gaming, as well as their commitment to the Tribal Gaming market.
In the past year, Zitro has achieved remarkable success in the country, expanding to 14 states and reaching over 90 casinos. They have tripled their growth through strategic investments in technology, infrastructure, and personnel; and they anticipate that their showcase for this year’s IGA, combined with their new range of products tailored for the U.S. market, will ensure a unique experience for players and guarantee returns to operators’ investments.
Attendees will be able to find multiple game titles that have already proven their global success, captivating both operators and players alike, such as Fu Frog and Fu Pots, which are available for both the Illusion and Allure Glare cabinets and are designed based on market trends such as persistent elements and multi-level progressives.
Additionally, Zitro plans to showcase already popular featured products that were initially launched during their last appearance at G2E Las Vegas; each designed for their Illusion, Allure, or Altius Glare cabinets, such as Billy the Pig, Lún Pán Dú, 88 Link Shiro and more.
Adding to the anticipation, Zitro plans to present new games for the US market: Drum Dynasty, available for both the Allure and Fusion Glare cabinets, which features two unique bonuses — Bonus Mighty and Bonus Power — where the drums increase prizes of all Link symbols in every spin, Night Link, which will be displayed on the Illusion Glare cabinet and features three exciting functionalities — Boomerang, Storm and Collect — that can be combined to allow players to access up to 8 different bonus links, and Epic Empires, displayed on the premium Altius Glare featuring a new and unique 3-Level Link Evolution.
All in all, Zitro’s catalog of products, including their new launches for the U.S. market, look very promising. Zitro USA’s CEO, Derik Mooberry, confirmed the company’s excitement about their attendance at this year’s IGA tradeshow: “We are eager to show both operators and players, as well as the Tribal Gaming Community, our strong product portfolio at this year’s IGA. Our global teams have been tirelessly working to deliver the best gaming experiences to captivate players, and I have high expectations for our new products. We’re proud of our growth so far in the U.S. market, but I’m sure that the investments we’re making in technology, infrastructure and of course, our people, will continue to pay off, so you can expect big things from Zitro in the future”.

ACR Poker is igniting the spring poker season with the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms Special High Five Edition, offering an astonishing $10 million in guaranteed prize pools alongside the return of its celebrated High Five Series.
From April 12 to April 28, 2026, the special edition will feature two marquee events running simultaneously — an $8 million GTD No‑Limit Hold’em (NLH) and a $2 million GTD Pot‑Limit Omaha (PLO) tournament — promising some of the most thrilling online poker action of the year.
Players buy in for $2,650 and compete for massive mystery bounties, with the NLH event offering up to $500,000 for a single knockout and the PLO event featuring a top bounty of $200,000. Every knockout on Day 2 guarantees at least $5,000 in bounty rewards.
With five Day 1 flights, participants can enter multiple times and build competitive stacks for Day 2’s showdown. Qualifiers begin April 7th through Venom Fever satellites, providing hundreds of seats — some even free — via Direct, Mega, or Beast satellite events.
All players who make it to Day 2 on April 27th at 1:05 pm ET are already in the money. The climactic final table to crown this special edition’s champions will take place on April 28th at 4:05 pm ET.
ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker says the High Five edition builds on the momentum of earlier high‑stakes events like the $50 Million OSS XL, combining huge guarantees with broad access and big bounty potential for players of all bankrolls.

Sweden has seen a long‑term decline in gambling addiction over the past 25 years, despite rapid growth in online gambling availability, advertising, and mobile gaming.
Economist Ola Nevander’s research for the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) shows that the prevalence of problem gambling has steadily fallen since the early 2000s, even as the market expanded. This trend emerged even with the widespread adoption of digital gaming products and 24/7 access on smartphones.
According to the findings, the proportion of Swedes classified as problem gamblers (based on the Problem Gambling Severity Index) dropped from about 2.2 % in 2008–09 to around 1.3 % by 2021, marking a significant reduction in overall gambling harm.
Gustaf Hoffstedt, Secretary General of BOS, emphasizes that this decline suggests Sweden’s regulatory and industry efforts are moving in the right direction. While the transformation from traditional physical gambling venues to digital platforms has raised concerns, online tools such as responsible gaming technologies and AI‑assisted safeguards are helping reduce problem gambling rates.
However, Hoffstedt cautions that much work remains, because expanded game offerings and persistent advertising mean ongoing responsibility is crucial to maintain and deepen the downward trend.
