Gaming Realms, a leading provider of mobile-focused gaming content, is transporting players to the Wild West with the launch of Slingo Money Train, its interpretation of a fan-favourite title.

The game’s release follows a licensing agreement last year with Relax Gaming and is played across 5×5 reels. In the slot, every Slingo created progresses players up an incrementally increasing prize ladder. Wilds and super wilds aid in the formation of Slingos and free spins can be landed to provide additional opportunities to create a winning line.

The prize ladder has numerous mechanics available for players to unlock. Four or more Slingos award the Bronze Money Train Bonus Wheel which can grant instant cash prizes, upgrade the bonus wheel and initiate the free spins round. This transforms into Silver and Gold versions of the wheel as players climb the prize ladder, providing more lucrative rewards.

Creating nine or more Slingos will award the free spins round and a cash prize. This bonus will grant three respins that are reset for each additional symbol landed on a 5×4 grid. These comprise of bet multipliers, collector symbols which combine the value of all icons landed thus far, or a payer which increases the value of any symbols on the game board.

Additionally, filling a reel with symbols will expand the gameboard to a maximum of 7×4 reels providing more opportunity to land wins. The player’s position on the prize ladder upon entering the free spins round will determine the stake that the mode will be played at.

Gaming Realms’ release of Slingo Money Train represents the provider’s latest iteration of a popular IP which has seen it recently partner with IGT, Warner Bros. Discovery and King Show Games to create titles with mass-market appeal or reimagine a pre-existing slots core mechanics.

Gareth Scott, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Realms, said: “Transforming an iconic game such as the Money Train into the Slingo genre has created a title that offers players recognisable themes and aesthetics whilst providing new gameplay elements to a popular slot.

“As players create Slingos and traverse the prize ladder they can continue to spin at an increased stake to gain entry to the free spins round or upgrade the bonus wheel. We look forward to seeing different play styles in this reimagining of a hugely successful title.”

Shelley Hannah, Direct of Casino Products of Relax Gaming, added: “Money Train has become a pillar of our content at Relax Gaming and has led to us producing numerous popular sequels and iterations of the original game.

“Building upon that, it has been a pleasure to license this title to Gaming Realms. It has been truly exciting to see the transformation that the core gameplay mechanics have received, now utilising the popular Slingo concept and we are thrilled to see players’ reception to this release.”

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

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.
