Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, has partnered with Jelly for an epic Norse adventure, Valhalla Saga: Thunder of Thor.  Prepare for glory in this ultra-epic Viking series like no other!

Set against the backdrop of a barren land, Thunder of Thor boasts iconic artwork, from runic symbols to fearsome axes, longboats, and Vikings.

The first title in the Valhalla Saga trilogy features the legendary Thor in this 5×3, 20 payline video slot, and sees Jelly’s new PowerLinks features award money driven prizes in the Free Spins and will always guarantee a feature payout.

On any spin, the Thunder of Thor modifier can trigger to create Wild symbols with attached multipliers of x2, x5, x10, x50 or x100 to tantalise the potential for huge wins.  A bonus respin can trigger if the player has 4 scatter symbols in view; this will respin the remaining reels to give a second chance at landing the 5th scatter to get in to the Free Spins bonus.

Players can win up to 10,000x in the PowerLinks Free Spins round.  This feature is triggered by 5 or more scatters landing in view.  By triggering Free Spins, the player is awarded 5 free spins, with the triggering scatter symbols creating special reel zones.  If any additional scatter symbols land in the reel zones, the player can enjoy bigger prizes at the end of the Free Spins bonus.

Thunder of Thor is the second release from Jelly – hot on the heels of Savanna Roar – since joining the YG Masters program.

The game is developed through Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art GATI technology enabling partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to produce consistently cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Partner Programs at Yggdrasil said: “Our latest collaboration with Jelly offers an exciting and immersive experience, steeped in Norse mythology. With the Thunder of Thor modifier offering huge win potential and a lucrative free spins mode, there’s plenty to look out for in this thrilling hit.”

Victoria Newbolt, Marketing Lead at Jelly, said: “Through the YG Masters initiative we’re able to create bold, expressive games and deliver an electrifying experience.  Our latest game through the Masters program takes an iconic tale and we’ve added tonnes of fun on every spin.”

First release is Avinho R10, followed by June launch Fortune Ronaldinho as the studio lines up more titles ahead of the World Cup season.

Pascal Gaming has partnered with Brazilian football player Ronaldinho to launch a dedicated portfolio of games inspired by the athlete, the company said on 26 May, 2026.

The planned pipeline includes crash games, slots and additional titles set to roll out through the year. Pascal Gaming said the initiative is aimed at both Brazil and international markets, and will be supported by tournaments, promotional activity and special events tied to the Ronaldinho-branded portfolio.

The first game confirmed is Avinho R10, described as a crash-style title featuring Ronaldinho “above Brazil” in an aviation-themed experience. A second game, Fortune Ronaldinho, is scheduled for release in June and is positioned as a slot-inspired title.

“Ronaldinho is one of the most recognisable and loved football personalities in the world, so for us this collaboration is much more than a game launch. It is a global entertainment project that combines football culture, emotionally engaging gameplay and strong promotional activities ahead of the World Cup,” said Armen Mnaskanian, Head of Sales at SoftConstruct Gaming Content.

Pascal Gaming said it has been expanding its crash game portfolio during 2026 and investing in localised, character-driven content across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The company added that more Ronaldinho-themed titles and marketing campaigns will be revealed in the coming months.

The JUSTIN2026 campaign was shot in Denver and rolls out over four weeks ahead of the 14 June event at the White House.

Duelbits has launched a branded content campaign with UFC interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje, timed to UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Saturday 14th June.

The campaign, branded JUSTIN2026, was shot on location in Denver, Colorado by UK-based creative agency YRDS. Duelbits said the content is designed as a “premium, cinematic series” and will roll out in phases over the next four weeks, peaking on event day.

According to the company, the campaign was planned before UFC Freedom was officially confirmed. Duelbits framed the early commitment as part of a strategy to move faster than traditional sportsbooks around major cultural moments.

“We didn’t want to create another sportsbook promo,” said Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits. “We wanted to create something that combat sports fans want to watch, content built around Justin’s authenticity and intensity, not just his fight record. We were planning this before the White House event was even officially confirmed. When you believe in the magnitude of a moment, you don’t wait for permission to act on it.”

Duelbits came to me with a vision, not just a brief,” said Gaethje. “They wanted to create something that reflected the reality of what I do and who I am, with no smoke and mirrors. When a brand shows up with that kind of conviction and creative ambition, you back it. This campaign is going to be something people remember.”

Belgium stop at Circus Casino Resort Namur runs May 27–June 7 and adds PokerStars Live League points toward a €157,500 credit pool.

PokerStars will bring PokerStars Open Namur back to Circus Casino Resort Namur from May 27 to June 7, with the festival returning one day after the operator’s May 26 announcement.

The stop follows a 2025 edition PokerStars said was record-breaking for Belgium, including 1,571 entries in the Main Event and what it called the largest live tournament prize pool in Belgian poker history.

This year’s schedule is headlined by the €1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event, which carries a €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Other listed highlights include the €400 PokerStars Open Cup (May 27-31), €3,300 Super High Roller (June 1-2), €2,200 High Roller (June 5-6), and €800 Mystery Bounty (June 6-7).

“Last year’s turnout reinforced Namur’s place as one of the most exciting live poker stops in Europe,” said Cedric Billot, Associate Director of Live Events Operations at PokerStars. “What makes the event special isn’t just the size of the fields, it’s the atmosphere around the entire festival.”

PokerStars also positioned Namur as a scoring stop in the PokerStars Live League, which awards points across High, Medium and Low leaderboard tiers. PokerStars said players are competing for a share of €157,500 in PokerStars LIVE event credit, with the top 30 players in each tier qualifying for a €100,000 freeroll at the first European Poker Tour festival of 2027.
