Kalamba Games reimagines the classic fruit machine with Vegas Blast
Kalamba Games is focusing on huge instant wins in its latest slot release Vegas Blast, which will see players taken on an old school thrill ride, paying homage to classic fruit machines but with modernised features and mechanics synonymous with the studio.
Vegas Blast will have players creating matching combinations of different fruit, bar and seven symbols across the slot’s 20 paylines to get lucky, with in-game wilds able to substitute all classic symbols and aiding in the creation of wins.
Additionally, the base game is home to K-Cash golden coin symbols, each with a varying amount of instant win prizes attached. Six or more of these must land in a single spin to unlock their riches. Situated to the left of the game, incrementally increasing Cashpot prizes have a predetermined amount ranging from 10x to 1,000x the players bet.
Kalamba Games has also packed an exciting free spins round into Vegas Blast. Awarded when three or more bonus symbols hit the reels, the player is initially given eight free spins which can be further increased through landing more bonus symbols once the round begins.
The K-Cash symbols have been augmented in the free spins round, as landing six or more triggers K-Cash Spins which will award one resetting respin for each successive K-Cash symbol landed and with them now also having the ability to award an additional multiplier. The potential of this K-Cash Spin round to award Vegas Blast’s 10,590x max win will be truly gripping for all players.
The Kalamba signature feature HyperBonus also returns here, giving instant access to the free spins round with eight, 12 and 15 free spins on offer which would typically be won from landing bonus symbols.
Alex Cohen, COO and Co-Founder at Kalamba Games, said: “Giving our players a true Las Vegas feeling was a driving force during the creation of Vegas Blast and whether it be through the symbols commonly associated with land-based casinos, the life changing wins on offer or the highly stylised Vegas backdrop we feel we have encapsulated the magic that Sin City has to offer.
“Vegas Blast is filled with our exciting Kalamba features that are enhanced further during the bonus game and this will give players a true crescendo of features that makes this title a unique experience.”

Approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission paves the way for Kambi to provide its premium sports betting solutions in Las Vegas and across the Silver State
Kambi Group plc (“Kambi”), the home of premium sports betting solutions, has received approval for its Nevada gaming licence applications, marking a significant step towards launching in one of the world’s most iconic betting markets. The Nevada Gaming Commission approved Kambi’s application for Manufacturer & Distributor Licenses and an Information Services License, following a unanimous recommendation by the Nevada Gaming Control Board (“NGCB”) earlier this month.
The licences will enable Kambi to provide its industry-leading sportsbook technology and services to nonrestricted gaming establishments in Las Vegas and across the state of Nevada for the first time. With limited B2B competition in the state due to the high regulatory requirements, Nevada presents Kambi with future growth opportunities in line with its strategy to expand its footprint across the Americas.
Kambi has been at the forefront of the regulated US sports betting industry since 2018, processing the first legal online wager outside of Nevada following the repeal of PASPA. This latest achievement underscores the company’s dedication to delivering world-class sportsbook solutions while adhering to the highest standards of regulatory compliance and corporate probity.
Werner Becher, CEO of Kambi, said: “Securing approval for our licences in Nevada is an important milestone for Kambi and a testament to our market-leading technology, regulatory expertise and corporate integrity. Nevada is widely known as the gold standard for betting and gaming regulation, insisting on a standard that few companies can meet, and is therefore recognition of Kambi’s unwavering commitment to excellence. We would like to thank both the Commission and NGCB for their thorough review and approval of our applications.”

This summer’s Women’s Euros promises to be more popular with sports bettors than the Six Nations, Super Bowl and the Ashes, a new survey shows.
A new OLBG survey conducted by YouGov shows how bettors are likely to behave in 2025, including the most popular events to bet on, which regions of the country are most likely to gamble and how having kids affects betting behaviour.
The quarterly study asked 2,054 adults in the UK how they planned to bet this year.
Of people who said they were likely to gamble in 2025, 16% said they would bet on the Women’s Euros, which will take place in Switzerland in July, with England and Wales among the 16 teams in action.
That compares with only 9% who said they would bet on the Super Bowl, 10% who would bet on Rugby Union’s Six Nations and 6% who said they would bet on cricket’s Ashes series.
The data shows that 18% of men expect to bet on the Women’s Euros, compared with 11% of women.
Among the events specified, racing’s Grand National (48%) is the event of 2025 that most respondents said they would bet on, ahead of the FA Cup Final (33%), Champions League Final (29%) and Cheltenham Festival (22%).
OLBG CEO Richard Moffat said: “The surge in popularity of women’s football is well documented and it seems that betting patterns are starting to follow suit. Undoubtedly, the fact there’s a major tournament this summer including England and Wales will drive interest among bettors.
“It’s interesting to see that more people intend to bet on the Euros than some big, established, showpiece events in 2025 such as The Ashes, the Superbowl and the Six Nations.”
North West is the UK betting capital
Data shows 26% of people in the North West plan to place a bet on a sporting event during 2025 – the highest percentage region in the country.
The region with the next highest percentage of people planning to gamble this year is Yorkshire and the Humber, with 24%. Third is London (22%) ahead of Northern Ireland (21%).
According to the results, the region with the lowest appetite for betting is the South West, with just 13% of people saying they plan to gamble this year.
In the North West, the listed sporting event people are most likely to bet on this year is the FA Cup final (39%), ahead of the Champions League final (36%), followed by the Grand National (35%).
The picture is quite different in Yorkshire and the Humber, where 55% of potential bettors expect to bet on the Grand National, 25% on the FA Cup final and just 12% expect to bet on the Champions League final.
Interestingly, London is the region with the lowest percentage of people intending to bet on the Grand National, with just 31% but the highest percentage of people expecting to bet on the FA Cup final at 55%.
OLBG’s CEO Richard Moffat said: “It looks like the North will be the sports betting capital of the UK this year, with northern regions such as the North West and Yorkshire leading the way in terms of percentage of people planning to bet.
“The breakdown of events people plan to bet on is fascinating and it’s interesting that the two big football finals – the FA Cup final and Champions League final – are the most popular events in the North West. This is perhaps driven by fans of big clubs like Liverpool and Man City optimistically planning to back their teams in those showpiece events.”
