Betano introduces a new immersive way of NBA betting
Betano, Kaizen Gaming’s premium sports betting and gaming brand announces the launch of its innovative in-game visualisation tool for National Basketball Association (NBA) games. Starting this season, Betano customers will be able to watch and interact with live games as if they were playing a video game.
Powered by computer vision and AI technology, the new feature takes real-time data points and turns it into 3D visualisations that are delivered in a hyper-personalised stream, allowing fans to select their viewing angle and enjoy every block, shot, and point scored from their preferred vantage point. Launched in partnership with Sportradar, Betano’s new gaming feature continues its commitment and passion for creating unique and unrivalled fan experiences in every sport.
George Kourakos, Kaizen Gaming Director of Innovation, said: “The arrival of AI technology and particularly computer vision is helping revolutionise the fan experience for leading sporting competitions. Increasingly, fans want to take control of how they watch and engage with sports, so they can create their own personalised experiences. We’re excited to introduce a whole new way of enjoying matches, allowing fans to choose their favourite angles to view the action. We remain dedicated to keep delivering innovations that enable our users to engage in new ways with all their favourite sports, always in a responsible manner”.
The new feature technology of the Betano platform arrives at the start of what is set to be another enthralling NBA season. Besides offering the competition’s matches through its platform, Betano has engaged with the world’s best basketball league by supporting Giannis Antetokoummpo.

ELA Games releases Spirit of Savanna slot with player-choice bonus
The new 5×3, 10-payline title features Hold and Win or Free Spins selection and three jackpot tiers.
ELA Games has released Spirit of Savanna, a new online slot that introduces a player-choice bonus mechanic alongside Hold and Win, Free Spins, and three jackpot tiers.
Spirit of Savanna runs on a 5×3 reel grid with 10 paylines and is rated volatility 4 out of 5, according to the supplier. RTP is listed across two ranges: 93.98-94.16% and 96.01-96.12%.
The main differentiator is how a Wild symbol contributes to a winning combination. Instead of triggering a fixed feature, the game prompts players to choose between seven Free Spins or a Hold and Win bonus.
Both bonus paths include a Repeat Win feature that carries the value of the triggering win into each spin of the bonus round. The Free Spins feature can also retrigger using the same Wild-combination logic. The game includes three jackpot tiers, with the Grand Jackpot available either by landing two Antelopes or by filling an entire row with coins during Hold and Win.

Games Global launches Candy Combo 2 Power Combo with Slingshot Studios
Games Global has released Candy Combo 2 Power Combo
, developed with exclusive studio partner Slingshot Studios. The new slot follows the original Candy Combo Power Combo
and expands the title’s Link&Win
gameplay and Power Combo
mechanics.
The 5×3, 20-payline game is set in a pastel candy theme and uses five “candy jar” characters above the reels to collect matching symbols and trigger Link&Win
modifiers. The Power Combo
flow activates a Link&Win
bonus played on a 5×4 grid, where cash coins remain in place as new symbols land.
Returning mechanics include Connector symbols with multipliers of up to 10x for completed rows, Collector symbols that gather visible cash values, and Jackpot symbols that award fixed prizes when four matching symbols are collected.
New features include Adder, which adds values to all other landed symbols, and Extender, which unlocks a second independent reel set to extend the Link&Win
round. Games Global said up to five features can be active within a single Link&Win
round, culminating in Super Power Combo
, where all features are active at once. The game also includes Hot Mode
, which adds extra feature symbols to the reels, and Upsizer
, which offers an option to enhance the Link&Win
feature at a cost before the bonus begins.
Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Candy Combo 2 Power Combo
builds on its predecessor – one of our most successful titles – by expanding how features interact within the Link&Win
format.
“The addition of new jars and the ability to combine multiple mechanics introduces more variation across each round, while staying true to the core gameplay players recognise.”
David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “Slingshot Studios has done a brilliantly at evolving a well-established concept by adding depth and flexibility to its feature set.
“The result is a bright, engaging title that enhances a proven mechanic while offering players more ways to experience its core gameplay.”
