Enjoy a twist on the popular cash and respin feature in this exciting new release

Specialist slot provider Lightning Box, one of Light & Wonder’s in-house studios, has released Blood and Gold, a title filled with exciting battles and respins.

This 5×3 slot features symbols depicting the leaders of the warring Red and Blue factions as the highest paying symbols in game, along with an array of trebuchets and war horns that must form matching combinations across the title’s 25 paylines to award a win. Players are aided in creating these combinations by the game’s wild, which substitutes all other symbols except the scatter symbol.

Blood And Gold will initially be made available across Europe for two weeks exclusively on Rank Group before being released across all partners thereafter.

Six or more scatter symbols landing during any base game spin awards the Battle rounds, with a choice of the Red or Blue kingdoms presented to the player. Initially awarding three lives and therefore three respins, cash symbols can be landed across the gameboard and collected as prizes.

However, a battle between the leaders of each kingdom at the end of every spin decides if these prizes are awarded. Picking the losing kingdom voids all wins for that spin and loses one of three lives given, whereas choosing the right kingdom collects all prizes and doesn’t reduce the number of lives gained so far. Additional lives can also be landed during the free spins round allowing for extra chances for your kingdom to win a battle and claim these prizes.

Blood And Gold is available to customers of Light & Wonder’s industry leading OpenGaming™ platform alongside popular new titles such as Chicken Fox JR and Lightning Gorilla.

Michael Maokhamphiou, Operations Manager at Lightning Box said: “Innovating within our games is something that has allowed Lightning Box to reach new customers and retain existing players and this originality can be seen throughout the gameplay of Blood And Gold.

“The Battle round hinges on player choice allowing their engagement and decision to affect all elements of the bonus game. With multiple battles on offer, additional lives and big win potential being ultimately decided by player interaction we are sure they will adore the medieval action on offer in Blood And Gold.”

Rob Procter, VP Game Development at Light & Wonder “Lightning Box’s talented team have again created a title filled with engaging and entertaining features to which players will be drawn. Making the heat of battle determine win amounts gained is a unique concept and we are excited to see how it is perceived.”

DATA.BET has reinforced its ambitions in Latin America by making a strong return to BiS SiGMA South America 2026, one of the region’s most influential iGaming events.

With a significantly larger presence and an expanded product suite, the company demonstrated a clear evolution from its earlier identity as an esports-centric provider into a comprehensive sportsbook solutions partner.

Held in São Paulo, the event provided the perfect stage for DATA.BET to showcase its full-scale betting ecosystem. The company presented an integrated portfolio that spans traditional sports betting, esports wagering, and virtual sports—positioning itself as a one-stop solution for operators targeting regulated markets, particularly in Brazil.

A key highlight of DATA.BET’s offering is its GLI certification for Brazil. This certification is a major advantage for operators, as it removes the need for additional technical approvals and significantly shortens time-to-market. In a rapidly developing regulatory environment like Brazil’s, this capability gives partners a competitive edge when launching or scaling their betting platforms.

At the exhibition stand, visitors explored several product enhancements designed to improve both operator efficiency and player engagement. Among the updates were revamped Statistical Widgets and the esports-focused Timeline Widget, both aimed at delivering richer real-time insights and more immersive user experiences. The introduction of features such as One-Click Bet and Early Payout further underscores DATA.BET’s commitment to streamlining the betting journey while adding flexibility and excitement for end users.

In addition to officially announced upgrades, the company also teased an upcoming feature currently in development. While details remain under wraps, DATA.BET indicated that this innovation will push engagement standards even higher, reflecting its ongoing investment in next-generation betting technology.

Beyond technology, the company ensured its booth stood out through an engaging and interactive atmosphere. Cosplayers portraying popular League of Legends characters Jinx and Ahri attracted steady attention, reinforcing DATA.BET’s roots in esports culture while bridging the gap to mainstream sports betting audiences. A dynamic kinetic screen added a visual centerpiece, helping to maintain strong visitor engagement throughout the event.

According to Natalie Loshatynska, Head of PR & Marketing at DATA.BET, the company’s return to SiGMA South America marks a significant milestone. She emphasized that the transformation from an esports-focused provider to a full sportsbook ecosystem reflects both strategic growth and a deep commitment to local markets. With expanded coverage, localized certification, and tailored tools, DATA.BET is positioning itself as a leading supplier across key verticals including esports, traditional sports, and virtual betting.

This strategic shift aligns with broader industry trends, as Latin America—particularly Brazil—continues to emerge as one of the fastest-growing regulated betting markets globally. By investing in technology, compliance, and localized solutions, DATA.BET aims to empower operators to capitalize on these opportunities while delivering high-quality betting experiences to users.

As competition intensifies in the region, companies that can combine regulatory readiness with innovative product offerings are likely to lead the market. DATA.BET’s performance at BiS SiGMA South America 2026 suggests it is well on its way to becoming a dominant force in the evolving Latin American betting landscape.

In a historic move for Ukrainian sports, the Basketball Federation of Ukraine (FBU) and title sponsor GGBET UA recently hosted Media Slam in Kyiv. This inaugural open media event served as a high-level forum to analyze the regular season results of the GGBET SuperLeague and the recent performances of Ukraine’s men’s and women’s national teams.

Since becoming the league’s title sponsor in January 2026, GGBET UA has prioritized transparency and engagement. The event highlighted a significant milestone: the return of fans to stadiums despite the ongoing challenges of martial law, signaling a resilient recovery for the domestic game.

Highlights and Recognition

The “Media Slam” wasn’t just about statistics; it was a celebration of the sport’s current momentum:

  • MVP Honors: The regular season’s top five players were officially recognized for their outstanding contributions.

  • Kyiv-Basket Victory: The Ukrainian Cup winners received a formal check in honor of their championship win.

  • Market Discussion: Stakeholders engaged in a candid dialogue regarding the increasing competitiveness of the league.

Sergii Mishchenko, CEO of GGBET UA, commented:

“We didn’t get involved in Ukrainian basketball just to have our logo on a banner. This is a systematic approach. We see the increasing interest in basketball and want to be a part of that growth. The tougher the competition, the stronger Ukrainian basketball becomes.”

A Strategic Expansion

Basketball marks a major pillar in GGBET UA’s diversifying sports portfolio. Following high-profile partnerships with FC Dynamo Kyiv, FC Polissya Zhytomyr, and the Usyk vs. Dubois 2 rematch, the brand is now cementing its status as a cornerstone of the Ukrainian basketball ecosystem.
