INSPIRED LAUNCHES BIG FISHING FORTUNE IN UK RETAIL
Inspired Entertainment, Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of its latest retail slot game, Big Fishing Fortune™, a fishing-themed game that invites players to go on a fun and lucrative fishing adventure. This 5-reel, 3-row, 10 win-line fishing expedition slot features a friendly fisherman, Wilds and a Big Fishing Fortune Bonus that awards unlimited Free Spins.
Players will need to cast their hook and line to reel in three or more bonus symbols to trigger the Big Fishing Fortune Bonus. During the Big Fishing Fortune Bonus, players will have unlimited free spins until the fisherman catches the Big Fish Value. The Big Fish Value is determined in the match-3 game.
In the match-3 game, players will be presented with 6, 9 or 12 identical titles depending on the number of bonus symbols used to trigger the feature. Selecting these symbols one at a time will uncover a Big Fish Value, which can be up to 100x the stake.
Players should watch out for the fisherman and any fish landing in view during the bonus. The values shown on the fish will be paid—and if more than one fisherman appears, each fish is awarded again for every extra fisherman in view, offering players potentially lucrative cash pay-outs and a guaranteed Big Fish win!
Big Fishing Fortune’s online success was a catalyst for its conversion into a UK B3 game, supporting Inspired’s omni-channel strategic approach in offering multi-faceted content to its retail customers. Big Fishing Fortune is a Big Bonus style game that features Inspired’s game-changing Free Spins mechanic, which was released in August 2020 and has quickly earned loyal, active players. Due to player demand, this mechanic is taking a more dominant place on Inspired’s retail and iGaming roadmaps for 2022. Big Fishing Fortune gives players an all-round fun and engaging gaming experience, whether online, on mobile, or now on retail cabinets.
Steve Collett, Chief Product Officer at Inspired, said: ‘’We’re thrilled to be launching Big Fishing Fortune in UK retail. We are confident this slot will appeal to new players and players familiar with the brand online. As Inspired continues to expand its omni-channel portfolio, the Company has found it’s important for retail customers to be able to play their favourite games online as well.”

BVGroup’s flagship brand BetVictor has launched a new brand campaign, “For All Your Favourite Things”, backed by what the company said is its largest AV investment to date.
The campaign, created by Barn Door Studios, uses a rewrite of “My Favourite Things” from The Sound of Music over visuals of sporting events. BetVictor said the creative focuses on “the uncomplicated thrill of sport and betting”.
BetVictor is timing the launch around this weekend’s Premier League schedule, with spots running alongside Arsenal vs Newcastle on Saturday evening and Chelsea vs Leeds on Sunday afternoon.
Media planning is led by Bountiful Cow. The plan includes a new partnership with Sky, spanning live sport integrations, on-demand, YouTube channels and targeted digital placements via Sky Advance. BetVictor also outlined a data-led SVOD and BVOD strategy across ITVX, Channel 4, Prime Video and Netflix, plus digital and social.

“‘For All Your Favourite Things’ captures what BetVictor stands for today – a premium, straightforward experience that enhances the thrill of sport.

QTech Games wins Leader in Online Casino at SBEA+ Eventus Awards 2026
QTech Games has won the Leader in Online Casino award at the Annual Sports Betting East Africa (SBEA+) 2026 Summit in Nairobi, Kenya.
The company said it beat other shortlisted suppliers including SA Gaming, BetConstruct, and DST Gaming. The award is described by the event as recognising the “top all-round online casino platform for innovation, user engagement, and sustained growth” over the past year.
The SBEA+ Eventus Awards focus on the East African igaming and sports betting sector and were presented at a gala ceremony at the Argyle Grand Hotel. QTech Games said the judging period covered 2025/26 and that its aggregation platform performance was ranked highest by the panel.
QTech Games CEO Philip Doftvik said: “We’re thrilled to have walked off with another notable award for the best overall online-casino-platform provision in East Africa. Being shortlisted in such good company was already a result, but victory provides the real validation, particularly after running a great campaign at recent Eventus events in Africa. We’ve been promoting QTech Hybrid, our breakthrough retail solution, to great effect and it’s been fantastic to see that going live with a handful of top-tier clients on this continent has led to such overwhelmingly positive feedback and immediate success cases in the realm of genuine innovation.
“This win is testimony to our diligent team at QTech Games, and to the constantly growing group of innovative suppliers that our platform represents. It’s a truly collaborative effort. We remain committed to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our worldwide partners across Africa and beyond. After all, in today’s marketplace, only premium games of the highest standard will separate you from the crowd, so we were delighted to see the panel acknowledge how our premier platform is delivering across Africa’s eclectic ecosystem. We’ve made our name as the pre-eminent aggregator in these evolving margin markets, delivering localised games that speak to a host of player proclivities. This award win will spur us on to new horizons.”
