Inspired Entertainment, Inc is pleased to announce the launch of its latest Christmas-themed online and mobile slot games: Big Christmas Present and Christmas Cash Spins.

Santa Claus is coming to town with Big Christmas Present, a 6×4 reel, 50-win line slot game. Combining the elements of a classic slot with an innovative bonus mechanic, Big Christmas Present will have players on the edge of their seats to win big! Offering players, a fun and engaging iGaming experience, Big Christmas Present is a Christmas-themed version of Inspired’s successful hit, Big Spin Bonus.

The Big Christmas Present Bonus round awards the player between one and five Big Spins, which are spins of 20x or more, via the game’s Pick Me feature, ensuring guaranteed wins during the bonus round, for all players. During the Bonus, sticky wilds build up increasing the chance of a Big Win. The player’s goal is to accumulate as many sticky wilds and wins as possible before using up all their Big Spins.

Merry Christmas Megaways brings the joy of the festive season together with the popular Megaways game mechanic for an iGaming treat! Brimming with thrilling cascading wins and vivid mystery symbols, Merry Christmas Megaways is set to be a mega hit with fans of festive slot games.

Players can enjoy the Free Spins bonus round upon activating four or more scatters. The game’s Free Spins features unlimited multipliers that increase each time a winning cascade occurs.

Combining the thrill of iGaming with the joyful spirit of the festive season is Christmas Cash Spins, a 5×3 reel, 25-win line slot game. Featuring a Lock and Spin mechanic, this Christmas-themed slot game is enhanced with wheels that combine for big prize potential.

Six or more wheel symbols in view, during the base game, will trigger the Christmas Cash Spins Bonus, which grants the player three lives to add more wheels. If the wheels form into a 2×2 or 3×3, the symbols will morph into bigger wheels with better values. ​Should the player fill all reels, a Mega wheel will award them a big cash prize!

Claire Osborne, Vice President of Interactive at Inspired, said: “We’re delighted to be kick-starting the festive period with a strong line-up of Christmas titles. All three games incorporate a festive theme into our best math models, with diverse mechanics in each game to engage a variety of different players. As always, we pride ourselves on being ‘the home of the seasonal game’.”

Big Christmas Present is the perfect game for the regular bonus hit player. With its unique bonus mechanic, used previously on Big Spin Bonus, this game packs a punch.  The homely Christmas backdrop of Merry Christmas Megaways displays all the colours of yuletide warmth, set to a festive soundtrack to put fans of Megaways titles in the holiday spirit. Combining colourful gingerbread symbols, a white wintery backdrop, festive jingles and sparkles aplenty, Christmas Cash Spins will delight fans of classic slot games. It offers an exciting lock and spin mechanic plus vibrant wheels to offer big cash pay-outs.

“We now have a total of six festive slots wrapped up for our operator partners, including: Christmas Cash Pots and Santa King Megaways. Providing all-round festive entertainment, players are set for a fun-filled holiday this year and beyond.”

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.
