Microgaming has announced plans to unveil a new Game of Thrones® branded online slot later this year.

The deal builds on a successful branded relationship with HBO that was penned six years ago when Microgaming launched its first Game of Thrones branded slot game in 2014.

Marked for release later this year, Game of Thrones™ Power Stacks™ will feature some of the leading characters and personalities from the hit HBO® series Game of Thrones, ready to lead players on a new pursuit for rewards through the world of Westeros. The branded slot is being developed by Slingshot Studios, an independent studio that is providing innovative, high-quality content exclusively for Microgaming.

Taking global mainstream audiences by storm, Game of Thrones is one of the most popular entertainment brands in the world. The genre-defining TV series has netted hundreds of award nominations and wins, including 160 Primetime Emmy® Award nominations with 59 wins, and seven Golden Globe Award nominations with one win.

The eighth season of the show reached phenomenal status, with the season finale being watched by 19.3 million viewers across all HBO platforms. The series has given rise to a number of officially licensed products, including the immensely popular slot game by Microgaming, available in both 243 ways and 15 lines.

Now fans of the series can look forward to a whole new Game of Thrones journey, as the latest title is set to join Microgaming’s award-winning portfolio of branded content. Microgaming will be celebrating its latest Game of Thrones slot at ICE London 2020.

New game genres, including ‘Rotocade® ‘ and ‘Dial’, expand content options for North American lottery operators.

Playforge, the next-gen iLottery games studio, has announced a strategic distribution agreement with EQL Games, a provider of disruptive gaming content to lottery partners, bringing a new wave of high-retention, mobile-first iLottery games to the North American market.

The collaboration will leverage EQL’s robust aggregation platform and RGS to seamlessly deliver Playforge’s complete portfolio of iLottery titles to operators.

This include its innovative ‘Rotocade®‘, Dial, and instant win genres that promise to attract a diverse range of players with their novel mechanics and lighting fast mobile-first approach.

As the region’s gaming landscape evolves rapidly, traditional lotteries are facing increased competition from emerging digital betting and entertainment platforms.

This distribution agreement will service online lotteries with the fast-paced, engaging content that attracts the future core of lottery audiences.

The agreement will also allow operators to access new game formats that are tailored to acquire and retain more engaged, digitally native players, while helping modernise lottery brand perception.

Adam Barber, founder and CEO at Playforge, said: “Younger gaming generations demand more from digital content, and player expectations online are evolving fast.

This distribution partnership with EQL Games will help North American lotteries to stay ahead of that curve with our next-generation content, featuring new game concepts that capture players’ imagination and drive loyalty.

“With our in-house expertise that crafts games with novel mechanics and first-rate artistry, combined with EQL’s aggregation know-how and regional market knowledge, we can’t wait to get the future of iLottery content into the hands of players who demand more.”

Brad Cummings, founder and CEO at EQL Games, added:

“Playforge is exactly the kind of contemporary content provider the lottery industry needs to broaden its offerings in the fight to stay relevant to quickly changing player demographics.

Our technology is built to expand access to the best lottery games, empowering operators to leverage content like Playforge’s, which demonstrates first-rate craftsmanship, and the power to engage a new audience of lottery player.

“Short-form game styles are an important part of the portfolio for all lotteries looking to diversify their content portfolio, Playforge’s new and innovative approach will be of significant benefit to our lottery operator partners in the years to come.”

At present, less than a third of US states offer iLottery instant win games. Helping lotteries transition to a more sustainable, future-proof audience is critical to its ongoing success.

Superbet has reinforced its pioneering position in the Brazilian regulated betting market by becoming the first betting platform officially available on Brazil’s Apple Store.

The app listing comes immediately after Apple updated its guidelines on May 8, allowing the distribution of fixed-odds betting applications in the country.

The move further highlights Superbet’s leadership within Brazil’s newly regulated gaming landscape.

The company was among the first operators to secure authorization under the federal betting framework, positioning itself at the forefront of compliance, responsible gaming and digital innovation.

With the application now officially accessible to iOS users in Brazil, customers can enjoy a fully regulated betting experience through a platform operating in accordance with local legislation and Apple’s updated distribution policies.

Industry experts see the measure as an important milestone in the fight against illegal betting operators, while also strengthening consumer protection and trust in licensed brands.

Superbet has significantly expanded its presence in Brazil over recent years through sponsorship agreements, marketing campaigns and strategic partnerships, becoming one of the most visible betting brands in the market.

The operator has also invested heavily in mobile-first technology and user experience, recognizing Brazil as one of the world’s fastest-growing mobile betting environments.

The approval of regulated betting apps on major digital marketplaces is expected to accelerate the migration of users toward licensed operators and contribute to the consolidation of a safer and more transparent betting ecosystem in Brazil.
