Kalamba Games travels to Sin City in third Megaways™ release Phat Cats Megaways™
Kalamba Games heads to the Vegas strip with a group of feisty felines in its latest Megaways™ release Phat Cats Megaways™.
This high volatility 6-reeled slot is home to a staggering 200,704 winning ways and symbols including a roster of colourful cat characters that must form matching combinations to award a win. Players are aided in the creation of winning lines by Wild symbols which substitute for all other symbols except the bonus, coins, mystery, upgrade and lock symbols.
These game-altering mechanics are triggered by players landing Mystery symbols on the game board. When landed, these nudge down the reels each spin until they leave the game board, with each spin revealing a base game symbol or a coin which awards its value as a bet multiplier. Lock symbols lock the part of the column below the position in which they land and in a new twist on the MegawaysTM mechanic, Upgrade symbols do this plus may increase the height of columns 2-5 by one for the next spin.
At least three bonus scatters are required to gain access to the free spins round where four active rows on reels two and four of mystery symbols are initially awarded. These spins continue infinitely or until all mystery symbols have left the game board. Extra mystery places can be landed and a win multiplier increases by 1x after each successive spin.
With numerous innovative mechanics working concurrently, Kalamba Games continues to develop intuitive gameplay to deliver players highly engaging slots with Phat Cats Megaways™ being the latest addition to its high-quality and diverse portfolio.
Alex Cohen, COO and Co-Founder at Kalamba Games, said: “Providing players with mystery mechanics in Phat Cats Megaways™ allows for each spin to provide unparalleled excitement as players never truly know what the next spin could hold for them.
“Additionally, developing a bonus round with the possibility of infinite free spins and an ever-increasing multiplier boosts the winning potential present within the title. With a huge 20,000x max win up for grabs, we are sure players will be drawn to innovative features, exciting gameplay and vibrant glitz and glamour displayed from this Sin City-inspired title.”

Former WBC cruiserweight champion to appear at PartyPoker Tour UK stops and take part in online activations.
PartyPoker has appointed former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion Tony Bellew as a brand ambassador for the remainder of 2026, with appearances tied to the operator’s live PartyPoker Tour and online poker offering.
The company said Bellew will be “a regular face” at its remaining UK tour stops this season following an earlier appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. Bellew will also take part in online activity linked to the PartyPoker schedule.
“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.
PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.
The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.
In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.
“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”
The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.
For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.
The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
