Relax Gaming, the igaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, gives players the opportunity to jump behind the digger and win up to 50,000x in its latest slot, Mega Mine Nudging Ways.

The game presents a new Nudging Mystery Stacks feature in the form of a manic miner. The Mystery Stacks nudges into screen until he appears in full view, displaying a value between two and five.

The displayed number represents how many symbols each stack will reveal. This new feature does anything but hinder the player’s win potential, with the ability to appear on every reel.

Players can reap the benefits of this exciting 5×4 gold-mining adventure with 32,768 ways to win. With graphics including explosive Wild symbols, diamond-filled crates as Scatter symbols, and a variety of colourful jewels, the game is rich in opportunities to get across the tracks to glory.

Six free spins are awarded when two or more scatters appear on the reels, as well as triggering the Mega Free Spins bonus round, during which, Nudging Mystery Stacks land more frequently. In the bonus round, this feature may also reveal stacks of Wild symbols, taking the win potential from massive to mega!

Each additional scatter symbol results in an extra free spin. Epic wins occur when the win is worth 60 times the original bet. A buy feature rounds off the impressive list of in-game options, giving players the option to access the Mega Free Spins for the price displayed.

Simon Hammon, Chief Product Officer at Relax Gaming said: “Our team has always provided our players with innovative and epic games, and Mega Mine is testament to that.

“With this production the key is giving players more ways to win and opportunities to achieve impressive wins in order to add both excitement and potential. In every slot we release, we continue to drive the differentiation in our games that is such a strong part of our ethos. With its large win potential and appealing graphics, we expect this game to start strong and continue to gather momentum with a wide fanbase.”

As a leading B2B supplier, Relax Gaming has established itself as a true driver of differentiation – with the provider taking home four EGR B2B awards earlier in July and two CasinoBeats Developer Awards at this summer’s summit in Malta – as well as being awarded Casino Content Supplier at the EGR Nordics in February.

Now one of the industry’s leading aggregators, Relax provides more than 2,000 online casino games – from its high performing proprietary slots to a significant, varied library of content from hand-picked third-party studios via its partnership programmes.

PartyPoker has appointed former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion Tony Bellew as a brand ambassador for the remainder of 2026, with appearances tied to the operator’s live PartyPoker Tour and online poker offering.

The company said Bellew will be “a regular face” at its remaining UK tour stops this season following an earlier appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. Bellew will also take part in online activity linked to the PartyPoker schedule.

“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.

PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
