Award-winning slots studio AvatarUX is journeying to an enchanted wonderland in latest launch PixiePop™.

Featuring the ever-popular PopWins™ mechanic that has become a staple of AvatarUX’s content, every spin will increase reel height, while more symbols fall from above. In base play, the reels can reach up to six symbols tall, offering significantly boosted paylines.

The PopWins™ mechanic is complemented by a number of a features that guarantee a thrilling new play experience and some truly magical wins. For instance, with every spin there is a chance for an enchanted nudge to occur, which can move a reel up or down in search of a winning combination, or even reveal a bonus symbol.

Three or more scatter symbols will launch the free spins, where random multipliers appear for enhanced win potential. Multiplicative multipliers can go up to x11, while the additive multipliers can apply to every win up to +50x.

PixiePop™ also features for the very first time a new ‘Pay Anywhere Symbol’, which is set to create better win opportunities in the bonus game. Before the mode starts, one high paying symbol is awarded as a pay anywhere icon, which will payout if five or more land on different reels, regardless of if they connect, as players search for a max win of 20,000x.

To add to the rich features list, PixiePop™ also sees a new wild symbol being introduced. This can appear in both the base and the bonus game and substitutes for any symbol.

The recently launched XPRESS option is also available in certain jurisdictions and players can progress directly to free spins as well as activate any of the key features via one of four Buy Bonus options.

It is the latest game released by AvatarUX, which continues to go from strength to strength with a portfolio of innovative mechanics.

The game is initially available exclusively to AvatarUX’s partners with direct integrations and will be rolled out globally later.

Nicola Longmuir, CEO at AvatarUX, said: PixiePop™ offers a magical journey through an enchanted wilderness as players search for huge wins, while enjoying the latest iteration of the PopWins™ mechanic.

“We strive to create engaging, immersive titles that build off familiar mechanics while adding new twists and this is another great example.”

New 7×7 cluster grid title ships with tumbling wins, progressive multipliers, Super Tricks and a Free Spins feature.

Caleta Gaming has launched Cluster Cup, a new high-volatility slot inspired by football and pitched around major June sporting events. The title is now available to operators worldwide, the supplier said.

Cluster Cup uses a 7×7 cluster grid and a Tumbler Feature, where winning symbols disappear and cascade with new ones until no further wins are formed. Caleta said this is designed to support extended win sequences.

According to the studio, the game runs at an RTP of 93.42% and includes a Progressive Multiplier that increases during gameplay through a “Tumble Timer” mechanic, paying out at the end of each tumbling sequence.

The game also includes “Super Tricks”, triggered when three or more tumbles occur in a single spin, randomly activating one of four features: Wild Shots, Symbols Exchange, Red Cards, or Big Gloves. A Free Spins bonus is available through gameplay or direct purchase.

“With Cluster Cup, we aimed to translate the thrill of football into a slot experience, adding our own touch with an awesome art style and dynamic animations”, said Pedro Vahl, Game Designer at Caleta Gaming. “The combination of tumbling mechanics, evolving multipliers, and the Super Tricks system creates moments of real tension and excitement, just like a match where everything can change in a single play.”

Waterhouse VC has secured a 3-year option to acquire an interest in Spinlab Studio, a no-code iGaming platform aimed at helping operators launch and scale online betting and casino businesses without building full infrastructure.

Spinlab Studio positions its product as a full-stack platform that streamlines integrations across payments, games, compliance and backend systems. The company says the platform is built to support operators targeting regulated markets, with compliance, payments and responsible gambling tools included in the core product.

Tom Waterhouse, Chief Investment Officer of Waterhouse VC said “Spinlab Studio is one of the fastest-moving platforms we’ve seen in this space, with strong early demand from operators. They are addressing a key operational challenge – helping operators bring products to market more efficiently and quickly without the usual complexity”.

Leon Lanen, Co-Founder of Spinlab Studio said “Launching an igaming operation is still too complex and expensive. Spinlab Studio removes that friction so operators can get to market quickly and focus on building their business. We aim to do for the igaming industry what Shopify did to e-commerce”.

Spinlab Studio said it launched in January 2026 and has onboarded around 30 operators. It offers a free trial and pricing that starts from approximately US$1299 per month, with tiered plans that scale with operator activity. The company also said it recently closed an oversubscribed seed round backed by founders and early investors of “one of Europe’s leading listed igaming technology companies”, with proceeds allocated to sales expansion and platform development.

Gaming in Holland has published the initial agenda for the Gaming in Holland Conference, set for Thursday, June 4 at the KIT Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam.

The preliminary programme includes a keynote on “Market developments & regulatory responses” from Ella Seijsener, Director Licensing & Supervision at the Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA). Two boardroom sessions are confirmed with Arjan Blok, CEO of Nederlandse Loterij, and Petra de Ruiter, CEO of Holland Casino.

Other listed sessions include “The challenge of the black market: Towards a European response” with Pascal Chaffard, Chief Online Betting and Gaming Officer at FDJ United; “The Dutch gambling market in numbers” with Josh Hodgson, COO at H2 Gambling Capital; and “Player protection in the Dutch market” with Floor van Bakkum, Team Manager Player Protection at the KSA.

A panel titled “#ReclaimTheMarket: Will players go along?” will feature Dr. Andreas Ditsche (iGaming.com) and Richard Dennys (Mr. Gamble), moderated by Martin van Geest (Meneer Casino). Additional agenda items include a session on comparing onshore and offshore game popularity (Jeffrey Haas, Blask Business Intelligence) and one on KSA reliability assessments covering licensing and M&A approval (Frank Tolboom, Franssen Tolboom Advocaten).

Gaming in Holland founder Willem van Oort said: “While the annual Gaming in Holland Conference has always been THE place to get the latest news and updates on the Dutch gambling market, this year we are tackling one of the major issues facing licensed operators in regulated markets: How do we reclaim lost market share from increasingly aggressive illegal competitors? Obviously, there are no simple solutions, but that doesn’t mean that stakeholders in the regulated market are powerless. As all key decision makers and stakeholders in the regulated Dutch gambling market will be present in Amsterdam, I am certain that we can get a fruitful discussion started.”
