Grab a helmet, kick-start your engine and GO for the gold in Play’n GO’s action-sports thriller, USA Flip.

Stare down a steep hill inside a sold-out stadium as Flip, a stunt-biking bald eagle gets ready to take flight and steal the spotlight. Help Flip turn the most difficult tricks and take home eternal glory, sharing the winner’s circle afterwards – and the prize money that comes with it.

In USA Flip, players will feel the rush of energy as they sling their way around the course, stunting for Free Spins to rev up the reels towards a big win.

During the Free Spins feature, players will eye more creative ways to win as the course pulls a 180-degree turn and flips – Walking and Expanding Wilds will shift sides with High-Paying Symbols at each end of the grid leading to stacked wins.

Built off the dynamic mechanics of fan favourite Super Flip, players will enjoy the winning possibilities and exciting action with the innovative Near Win Re-Spin feature. Players won’t be doomed by near-perfect misses on Flip’s most difficult tricks – with the Near Win Re-Spin, whenever a stack of symbols is missing one reel, receive a Re-Spin for another chance at a big win.

With Flip’s wings leading the way, players will fly around the course in the base game, stacking up high-paying symbols before advancing to the feature-packed fun.

With this release, Play’n GO expands its industry-leading collection of online slots to the sports world, providing players with an immersive and competitive gaming experience that resonates with American entertainment.

Play’n GO continues its head-first jump into the USA market with USA Flip after receiving a gaming license in Michigan in July and going live in New Jersey in September.

Head of Games at Play’n GO, Charlotte Miliziano said:

“This game really epitomises what we’re best at in designing a slot that dares to be different. We really wanted to take our fans on a new trip, provide them with even more ways to win and add some fun competition into the mix.

“Our team did that once again with the Near-Win Re-Spin feature, which really builds up the suspense. With the same level of detail and another unique storyline, I can’t wait for our fans to check it out.”

First release is Avinho R10, followed by June launch Fortune Ronaldinho as the studio lines up more titles ahead of the World Cup season.

Pascal Gaming has partnered with Brazilian football player Ronaldinho to launch a dedicated portfolio of games inspired by the athlete, the company said on 26 May, 2026.

The planned pipeline includes crash games, slots and additional titles set to roll out through the year. Pascal Gaming said the initiative is aimed at both Brazil and international markets, and will be supported by tournaments, promotional activity and special events tied to the Ronaldinho-branded portfolio.

The first game confirmed is Avinho R10, described as a crash-style title featuring Ronaldinho “above Brazil” in an aviation-themed experience. A second game, Fortune Ronaldinho, is scheduled for release in June and is positioned as a slot-inspired title.

“Ronaldinho is one of the most recognisable and loved football personalities in the world, so for us this collaboration is much more than a game launch. It is a global entertainment project that combines football culture, emotionally engaging gameplay and strong promotional activities ahead of the World Cup,” said Armen Mnaskanian, Head of Sales at SoftConstruct Gaming Content.

Pascal Gaming said it has been expanding its crash game portfolio during 2026 and investing in localised, character-driven content across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The company added that more Ronaldinho-themed titles and marketing campaigns will be revealed in the coming months.

The JUSTIN2026 campaign was shot in Denver and rolls out over four weeks ahead of the 14 June event at the White House.

Duelbits has launched a branded content campaign with UFC interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje, timed to UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Saturday 14th June.

The campaign, branded JUSTIN2026, was shot on location in Denver, Colorado by UK-based creative agency YRDS. Duelbits said the content is designed as a “premium, cinematic series” and will roll out in phases over the next four weeks, peaking on event day.

According to the company, the campaign was planned before UFC Freedom was officially confirmed. Duelbits framed the early commitment as part of a strategy to move faster than traditional sportsbooks around major cultural moments.

“We didn’t want to create another sportsbook promo,” said Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits. “We wanted to create something that combat sports fans want to watch, content built around Justin’s authenticity and intensity, not just his fight record. We were planning this before the White House event was even officially confirmed. When you believe in the magnitude of a moment, you don’t wait for permission to act on it.”

“Duelbits came to me with a vision, not just a brief,” said Gaethje. “They wanted to create something that reflected the reality of what I do and who I am, with no smoke and mirrors. When a brand shows up with that kind of conviction and creative ambition, you back it. This campaign is going to be something people remember.”

Belgium stop at Circus Casino Resort Namur runs May 27–June 7 and adds PokerStars Live League points toward a €157,500 credit pool.

PokerStars will bring PokerStars Open Namur back to Circus Casino Resort Namur from May 27 to June 7, with the festival returning one day after the operator’s May 26 announcement.

The stop follows a 2025 edition PokerStars said was record-breaking for Belgium, including 1,571 entries in the Main Event and what it called the largest live tournament prize pool in Belgian poker history.

This year’s schedule is headlined by the €1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event, which carries a €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Other listed highlights include the €400 PokerStars Open Cup (May 27-31), €3,300 Super High Roller (June 1-2), €2,200 High Roller (June 5-6), and €800 Mystery Bounty (June 6-7).

“Last year’s turnout reinforced Namur’s place as one of the most exciting live poker stops in Europe,” said Cedric Billot, Associate Director of Live Events Operations at PokerStars. “What makes the event special isn’t just the size of the fields, it’s the atmosphere around the entire festival.”

PokerStars also positioned Namur as a scoring stop in the PokerStars Live League, which awards points across High, Medium and Low leaderboard tiers. PokerStars said players are competing for a share of €157,500 in PokerStars LIVE event credit, with the top 30 players in each tier qualifying for a €100,000 freeroll at the first European Poker Tour festival of 2027.
