Having already made significant in-roads into the nascent Dutch casino market last year, sought-after software provider Stakelogic is picking up right where it left off in 2022 with the release of a Netherlands exclusive in Up6Timer. The new slot, which fuses the look and feel of a classic fruit machine with a range of modern features, boasts an unusual reel matrix that enables players to manually adjust both the number of reels and the total number of paylines. Starting off as a classic 3×3 slot with five paylines, players can increase their number of games up to six times, extending the layout to a huge eight reels and 30 ways to win.
Swintt is raising a glass to players this month with the release of their brand-new Cocktail Book slot.

Blueprint Gaming has hit another rich seam of gameplay with its latest prospector-themed slot, Gold Strike Bonanza. The leading slot developer has taken the popularity of Gold Frenzy, the classic Reel Time Gaming (RTG) title and delivered further dynamite to the action thanks to its Free Games modifiers and the added possibility of huge wins from the configurable Jackpot King functionality. As with the original, three or more explosive TNT Scatter symbols in view awards a minimum of 10 Free Games, with all Prospector symbols acting as a wild and collecting the cash value of every golden nugget that settles on the reels on the same spin.
Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, and Peter & Sons have unlocked the doors to the underworld in latest release Xibalba. As the 12 demon lords of Xibalba gather, brave adventurers are greeted with an initial 5×3 reel set, with the height expanding with every winning spin. Each successful spin also increases a win multiplier by 1x, with winning combinations being removed in the classic ‘cascading’ style slot. Wilds can also grow during the game, with them not being removed by cascades, but ensuring every symbol added to the reel above it is also a wild.
Push Gaming whisks players off to the plains of North America to witness a clash of ferocious beasts in its new slot, Bison Battle. Testament to Push’s reputation for being able to develop a diverse range of titles, Bison Battle comes hot on the heels of recent release Fire Hopper, upping the ante with an action-packed game style, as well as a theme inspired by a well-established land-based player favourite. Set across the Great Plains, rowdy and raging Bisons butt heads in an eventful base game with Red Bison dictating when the wins drop. Their appearance can bring about an explosive Bison Clash that can grant instant prize coins and multipliers.

The almighty Colossus Wild serves as the most valuable symbol in the game, expanding when it lands on a winning line and resulting in a multiplier of up to 10x being added.
Pragmatic Play, invites its players to harness the luck of the Irish in its dazzling new slot experience, Gold Party®.

Superbet Becomes New Main Sponsor of Jagiellonia Białystok

Superbet has become the new main sponsor of Jagiellonia Białystok. The logo of one of Poland’s leading bookmakers will appear on the front of the Podlasie team’s match jerseys. This is the fourth Ekstraklasa club, alongside Lech Poznań, Górnik Zabrze and GKS Katowice, to join the bookmaker’s extensive sponsorship portfolio.
The new partnership is more than just a logo on a jersey – the collaboration between Jagiellonia and Superbet is intended to have a particularly fan-focused nature. The brand is announcing numerous dedicated campaigns, events and surprises aimed at fans of the yellow and reds. The first of these has already launched with the announcement of the partnership – and will undoubtedly delight anyone planning to purchase the new jersey.
Superbet will pay a 100 PLN bonus towards the purchase of an official Jagiellonia match jersey. A total of 1920 jerseys will be available as part of the promotion – a number symbolically related to the year the club was founded. The promotion is valid both in-store and online and is open to all Superbet app users.
“When making a purchase in a stationary store, all you need to do is show the installed application, and for online customers, verification will take place via the email address: [email protected], to which you can simply send a short message, and in response, fans will receive a unique code entitling them to purchase a T-shirt at a discount,” explains Bartosz Malaka, Head of Marketing & Sponsoring at Superbet.
However, this is not the end of surprises for fans of the Białystok club, because if they register using the special code “JAGA,” they will also receive a welcome bonus.
“Jagiellonia fits perfectly into our sponsorship strategy – it’s a club with ambition, a strong identity, and enormous potential that combines modernity with local character. W’’re thrilled to be embarking on this journey together. Our logo will now appear on the fronts of the jerseys of four Ekstraklasa clubs, confirming our continued leadership in sports sponsorship,” said Łukasz Seweryniak, General Manager of Superbet Polska.
“Jaga is the perfect partner for us – with a great history and a huge, loyal community of fans who live and breathe this club every day. With them in mind, we’re preparing a whole package of activations, surprises, and events designed to build even stronger bonds. We want to show that just as Jaga is a super club, Superbet is a super sponsor,” Malaka said.
“I am extremely proud and happy to have entered into a partnership with such a renowned and recognizable brand as Superbet. I would like to emphasize that this is the highest-ever sponsorship agreement in the club’s history, which further underscores the importance of this partnership. I believe the word ‘partnership’ is key in the context of our agreement. I am most pleased that we are not just gaining a sponsor, but a true partner with whom we will achieve great things together,” said Ziemowit Deptuła, President of the Management Board of Jagiellonia Białystok SSA.
The partnership with Superbet is another important step in Jagiellonia’s development – not only in terms of sporting activities, but also in terms of modern marketing and fan engagement. Both parties emphasize that this will be a collaboration based on genuine commitment and closeness to fans.

VGCCC Fines Werribee RSL for Self-exclusion Failures

The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) has fined the Werribee RSL $30,000 for failing to prevent 2 self-excluded customers from gambling.
VGCCC CEO Suzy Neilan said: “This is the first time the VGCCC has taken disciplinary action against a club or hotel for self-exclusion breaches.
“Self-exclusion programs empower people to manage their gambling by registering to be temporarily or permanently blocked from entering gambling areas of clubs, pubs and casinos.
“By failing to respect a person’s decision to self-exclude, a venue may put customers who have decided to take a break from gambling, or quit altogether, at risk of experiencing gambling harm.”
In January 2024, the VGCCC received an anonymous tip-off that a self-excluded person entered the Werribee RSL gaming room and used the poker machines. The venue self-reported a second breach in May 2024, after realising a different customer had gambled at the venue on at least 4 occasions between February and May 2024.
Ms Neilan said: “Taking disciplinary action is the last resort. We would prefer venues take their harm minimisation responsibilities seriously by complying with their legal obligations, including through the effective implementation of tools like self-exclusion.
“Venues and their staff are the last line of defence for self-excluded customers, who should be able to trust that their decision to self-exclude will be respected. They must have the appropriate controls in place to prevent self-excluded people from entering gaming rooms.”
The VGCCC acknowledged that Werribee RSL cooperated with the investigations and has since taken steps to strengthen its procedures. These include improved and regular staff training, daily audits of the self-exclusion register and greater use of technology to identify self-excluded customers who attempt to enter the gaming room.
This remedial action was taken into consideration in determining the amount of the fine.
