Inspired Entertainment, Inc. has launched three new online and mobile slot games to kick start Autumn, while further enhancing its portfolio of iGaming content.

Offering players diverse themes, gameplay styles, and a variety of fun bonus mechanics, Respin 7s™, Gold Cherry™, and Anubis Gold™ bring the joy of online slots to multiple audiences, for a fun and casual iGaming experience.

Spinning its way to top of the iGaming charts is Respin 7s, a classic fruit-themed slot with a reel configuration of 5×3, five win-lines and a return to player (RTP) rate of 94.8%. With a strong math profile and proven gameplay, Respin 7s is a descendant of the successful VLT version, popular with players in the North American retail gaming market. Featuring Inspired’s Twin Pays™ mechanic, players experience exciting wins with pay-outs in both directions. The base game’s reels spin to reveal colourful fruit-machine style symbols, as well as the game’s ubiquitous 7s. Four 7s in view will trigger the empty reel to light up in flames and respin, giving the player a chance to land a total of five 7s and trigger the game’s fun Bonus round.

Increasing the gameplay thrills and the intensity of bagging a win, the game’s backdrop transforms from bright blue into vivid red with the 7s turning into fiery Wilds! Like the base game, landing four 7s gives players another respin of the empty reel, with five Wilds awarding them with an additional five free spins!

Bursting with the sweet taste of juicy wins, is Gold Cherry, a classic fruit-themed slot with a reel configuration of 5×3 and 10 win-lines. It features a novel modification wheel, that spins above the reels to convert symbols into Wilds and to multiply prizes, while heightening the anticipation and thrill of potentially winning big! When the wheel lands on a gold segment all dark cherry symbols in view will transform into the Wild, shown in-game as the golden cherry. The bonus round offers 10 free spins, featuring additional Wild segments on the wheel and extra cherries on the reels. The Bonus round offers players an 80/20 chance of transforming all cherries that land into Wilds, improving the player’s chances of scoring wins! If the player lands on a X2 segment of the wheel, their prizes are multiplied, giving them a juicy win.

Boasting mystical charm and the allure of ancient Egypt, is Anubis Gold, a 5×3 reel slot game with 10 win-lines and expanding wilds. Anubis Gold is set inside an Egyptian golden temple, surrounded by the dramatic power of Anubis. Landing three or more of the game’s Bonus symbols, starts the Free Spins Bonus feature, where Anubis comes to life! The Super Wild upgrades all symbols shown in gold, up to the next level, awarding players with increased values on the top-paying symbols, displayed on the strips located either-side of the main reels. Wild symbols expand in the Free Spins Bonus and awards players with one, three or five extra free spins, adding an extra layer of gameplay excitement! The game’s Free Spins feature can be re-triggered by landing another three Bonus symbols.

Claire Osborne, Vice President of Interactive at Inspired, said: “We are thrilled to be celebrating the start of Autumn with three amazing slots. Packed with wins throughout, each game encompasses different Bonus mechanics, themes, and gameplay styles to suit an array of tastes and gaming preferences. All three games boast great graphics offering casual players a visually impactful, fun, and relaxed iGaming experience.

“With an autumn and winter 2022 roadmap that is packed with exciting seasonal and fun-themed content, we look forward to continuing our trajectory of entertaining players during the rest of the year and beyond.”

ZEAL Network SE, Germany’s leading online lottery provider, closed 2025 with another year of robust double-digit growth.

Despite a weaker jackpot environment, the company significantly strengthened its core lottery business, accelerated diversification, and expanded its customer base—setting a solid foundation for long-term scalability.

The group delivered 16% revenue growth, reaching €218.5 million, while EBITDA rose 11% to €68.8 million. EBIT also climbed 12% to €60.1 million year over year. These results reinforce ZEAL’s strategic focus on building a multi-pillar digital entertainment ecosystem.

“At every level, our results confirm that our strategy works,” said Dr. Stefan Tweraser, CEO of ZEAL Network SE. “Expanding scalable products alongside our strong core lottery business increases resilience and positions us for ambitious future growth.”

CFO Andrea Behrendt highlighted continued investment in reducing jackpot dependence: “Our efforts create a sustainable and profitable growth structure.”

Core Lottery Business Continues to Lead Growth

ZEAL’s primary lottery brokerage remains its strongest revenue driver. Even with softer jackpot cycles:

Monthly active users climbed 8% to a record 1.558 million.
Lottery billings reached €1.1 billion, up 2%.
Gross margin increased to 17.7%.
Lottery-specific revenue surged 16% to €195.3 million.

These gains underline the brand’s ability to attract and retain large numbers of customers independent of jackpot volatility.

Dream House Raffle Becomes a Major Growth Pillar

The Traumhausverlosung (Dream House Raffle)—launched in 2024—has rapidly evolved into a strong secondary revenue stream. With guaranteed winners and high-appeal prize structures, the charity lottery generated:

€38.9 million in billings across four draws in 2025.

This success demonstrates the value of proprietary lottery products that complement ZEAL’s core business and enhance market differentiation.

Games Segment Accelerates With Expanded Portfolio

ZEAL also posted substantial growth in its digital Games division. The company extended its catalog to 650+ games, adding 400 new titles and strengthening collaborations with leading game developers.

As a result:

Games revenue increased 46%, reaching €14.4 million.
Active user numbers rose sharply.
Player protection remained a top priority, supported by AI-driven safeguards.

Customer Base Expansion Remains a Strategic Priority

ZEAL made targeted investments to grow its user base, acquiring 1.171 million new customers in 2025. As expected with aggressive acquisition:

Customer acquisition cost (CPL) increased to €46.47.
Marketing spending rose 20% to €68.6 million.

This investment is key to sustaining ZEAL’s long-term market position and unlocking additional cross-sell opportunities in games and charity lotteries.

2026 Outlook: Continued Growth and Diversification

Looking ahead to 2026, ZEAL aims to expand its German market leadership and scale its charitable lotteries freiheit+ and Traumhausverlosung, while continuing to strengthen its Games offering.

Forecasts for 2026 include:

Revenue between €250–260 million
EBITDA between €70–75 million

These projections already factor in increased investment to accelerate diversification and future-proof the business.
