Relax Gaming, igaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, is excited to announce the launch of Money Train 2, one of its most highly anticipated releases to date.

The action-packed sequel to 2019’s Money Train, launching 2^nd September, has already received glowing reviews from a select group of industry experts who received a sneak preview.

Back with even bigger win potential and a maximum payout of 50,000x stake, the slot offers an exhilarating player experience like no other as the four main characters leave the Wild West behind and journey to a steam-punk inspired, post-apocalyptic world.

The revamp goes far deeper that an impressive visual makeover, with players set to encounter the much-loved Money Cart Bonus Round that made the original one of Relax’s highest-earning titles to date, as well as game-changing new feature additions that keep engagement levels high throughout the playing session.

Among the new features are Respins, triggered when two bonus symbols land anywhere on the reels. These were designed to ramp-up the action in the base game in response to feedback on the original’s gameplay.

During the feature, each bonus symbol displayed will reveal multipliers that are added together, and Respins are also awarded until a win is built up. The accumulated multiplier is then applied to the total, significantly boosting both the excitement level and winning potential outside the Bonus Round.

Fans of the slot will not be disappointed by the sequel’s Money Cart round, which in addition to the original multiplier and free spin action, has introduced a new twist where an additional two reels can be unlocked if a reel is filled with symbols. The slot has been referred to as a “savage beast” in a review by Bigwinboard and Relax aren’t shy to confirm that this game has been built to deliver on every level.

Simon Hammon, Relax Gaming CPO, said: “From day one, Money Train was a strong hit and has continued to attract players to this day. Given this significant level of popularity, we saw huge potential in delivering a sequel that moved the dial even further in terms of engagement.

“Having listened intently to feedback from both players and operators, Money Train 2 delivers on every aspect, from the unique theme and experience-enhancing animations to the mechanics that make it a standout contender. It’s what a great sequel should be.”

Now in its tenth year of supplying the industry’s leading online casinos, Relax Gaming provides its partners with over 1000 proprietary and aggregated games through a quick and simple integration process.

Real-money casual puzzle tournament startup says an EU private investor backed the April 2026 round.

EasyWin, a U.S.-based real-money gaming startup, said it has closed its second seed funding round at a $20 million valuation. The company announced the round in April 2026 and said it was backed by a private investor from the European Union.

The company previously closed its first seed round in December 2025 at a $15.5 million valuation. That round included funding from Velo Partners, Vladimir Nikolsky and several private angel investors.

EasyWin was founded by Ivan Leshkevich, a former executive at mobile game publisher and developer Mamboo Entertainment. The startup, which currently has a team of eight, says it has built a global tournament platform for casual puzzle games with cash prizes and operates across major markets.

Since launching in 2025, EasyWin reported 25% month-over-month growth in user spending and a 4.9 average user rating. It also said it has expanded into 12 countries with localized legal opinions and payment infrastructure, received PayPal approval for its MCC, and completed payments-stack integrations with global providers.

The company also said it has obtained GLI certification “confirming compliance with U.S. regulations for skill-based gaming products.” Leshkevich said: “In the long term, we aim to become a leading global skill-based gaming platform. To achieve this, we focus on a strong product USP and new AI-based dev tools.”

Downtown Las Vegas property says the July Super Bingo will be its largest prize purse to date, with sessions on July 4-5.

Plaza Hotel & Casino will stage a $250,000 “Super Bingo” event in Las Vegas July 3-5, positioning it as a special edition tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary. The operator said the prize pool is the largest in the series’ history.

“The Plaza will be celebrating its 55th anniversary and the 250th anniversary of our great country in July, so it is only fitting that we make our Super Bingo event that month our biggest and best ever,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “Our Super Bingo events have always drawn a packed crowd to our convention space, and we anticipate the July event to sell out quickly.”

According to the Plaza, Super Bingo draws nearly 1,000 attendees, including visitors traveling from Hawaii and Canada. For the July edition, bingo-only registration is set at $250 per person for gameplay on Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5. The Plaza is also offering an optional five-night hotel package priced at $200 per person, with no resort fee, for check-in July 2 and check-out July 6.

The Plaza outlined the payout structure as 20 games paying $1,999 each day, plus a daily “super coverall” of $60,000, second place of $15,000, and third place of $10,020. The casino said prizes will be paid in cash and players must be present to win.

Outside of the special event, the Plaza said its bingo room runs six daily sessions at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and is located two floors above the main casino.
