BETER has secured a license in Kentucky, expanding the availability of its Setka Cup table tennis and ESportsBattle betting content to a ninth US state. The approval was granted by the Kentucky Horse Racing and Gaming (KHRG), the state regulator.

The Kentucky approval adds to BETER’s existing US footprint in Florida, New Jersey, Colorado, Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, North Carolina, and Illinois. The license allows BETER to supply operators in Kentucky with live data and live streams from Setka Cup and ESportsBattle tournaments.

BETER said the content is already live for Kentucky bettors through bet365, which it described as a long-standing operator partner.

Chuck Robinson, CRO at BETER, said: “Kentucky is a state with a deep sporting heritage, and we’re excited to bring our exclusive Setka Cup and ESportsBattle content to operators and bettors there. Reaching nine US states is an important milestone that reflects the growing appetite for fast-betting content across the country.

“The US market is evolving rapidly, and players are increasingly seeking round-the-clock, high-quality betting experiences. BETER is built to meet that demand, and each new state we enter strengthens our position as the go-to provider of fast-betting content worldwide.”

Valeriia Tarchynska, Chief Legal Officer at BETER, added: “Receiving both approval and license is the result of sustained and meticulous regulatory and compliance work by our team. The US licensing landscape is uniquely complex, with each state operating under its own distinct framework, and we take great pride in meeting those requirements wherever we operate.

“With nine states now approved, the US continues to be a cornerstone of BETER’s global strategy. We are actively pursuing approvals in additional key states and remain fully committed to expanding our footprint across the country and beyond.”

Evoplay has launched Joker Jane, a new slot from Evoplay Studios built around multiplier Wilds, Free Spins and a jackpot-led Bonus Game.

The game introduces a new female lead character and uses Wild symbols with 2x and 3x multipliers on reels two to four, applying to wins in both the base game and the Free Spins feature. Free Spins trigger when Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels, awarding up to 20 spins depending on the number of Scatters.

The Bonus Game triggers with eight or more Bonus symbols. Evoplay said Bonus icons include random cash values and the chance to collect one of four fixed jackpots, including a GRAND jackpot worth 5,000x the bet. Players start the feature with three spins, with additional Bonus symbols resetting the counter and remaining locked in place until the feature ends; collecting 20 Bonus symbols awards the GRAND.

A Bonus Buy option is also available in selected markets, allowing players to enter either the Bonus Game or Free Spins directly.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Joker Jane takes a well-known slot theme and gives it an entirely new identity through character, energy and gameplay depth.

“We wanted the game to feel expressive and unpredictable from the very first spin, while still offering rewarding mechanics that keep players fully engaged. With multiplier Wilds, jackpot-driven Bonus gameplay and vibrant presentation throughout, Joker Jane delivers wild excitement at every stage.”

Pragmatic Play has released Big Bass Football Bonanza, a new entry in its Big Bass slot series that switches the franchise’s fisherman theme to a football stadium setting.

The 5×3 title uses trophy scatters to trigger a bonus game. According to the supplier, landing 3-5 trophy scatters awards 15-25 free spins, with wilds split into red and blue “teams” that collect money symbols worth up to 5,000x.

Pragmatic Play said red and blue wilds are collected on their respective sides, with every fourth wild on each team awarding 10 extra spins and adding multipliers of 2x, 3x and 10x on the first, second and third retrigger. The supplier added that if wilds land with no money symbols, or money symbols land with no wilds, paying symbols can be randomly transformed into wilds or cash prizes.

The launch lands just over two weeks before the world’s biggest football tournament gets underway. Pragmatic Play positions the release as the latest addition to the Big Bass franchise following recent titles Big Bass Trophy Catch and Big Bass Raceday Repeat.

Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said: “Big Bass Football Bonanza has been designed to capture the electric atmosphere surrounding the world’s most-watched football tournament. From the stadium-inspired setting to the football-themed symbols, the game delivers an entertaining twist on the popular Big Bass formula.”
