Greentube gets its swag on with new release Diamond Link™: Cops ‘n’ Robbers™
Greentube, the NOVOMATIC Digital Gaming and Entertainment division, has brought back legendary anti-hero Bert for another epic caper in Diamond Link™: Cops ‘n’ Robbers™.
The five-reel, 20-line slot takes everything that has made the Cops ‘n’ Robbers™ franchise so successful while adding the popular Diamond Link™ feature to the swag pile, providing players with a chance to grab one of four available jackpots.
Crucially, the Diamond Link™ feature in this title incorporates the famous Cops ‘n’ Robbers™ board game. Blending two iconic Greentube IPs, the feature feels fresh but with classic elements, with its innovative combination of board game and Hold ‘n’ Spin mechanics as Bert puts his cunning base game plan into action in attempting to commit the perfect robbery.
Triggered when players find six or more Diamonds in a single spin, all Diamond symbols from the base game convert to Pink Diamonds in the feature, with their values translated into respective bet multiplier values.
It all starts with an explosion that creates one to four highlighted fields behind randomly selected Diamonds on the reels. Bert appears on a board game with special feature fields as a truck showing the player their multiplier, bursts through the wall.
The Start button sets the Dice rolling and depending on the field on which Bert lands – Spin Fields, Jail Fields, Diamond Fields or Special Fields – the corresponding feature will be triggered.
Designed as a mash-up of fan favourites, the feature also contains a variety of security levels. Each time Bert lands on a Multiplier field, all diamonds on the board are doubled, while the security level ramps up to heighten the chances of being caught red-handed. The longer the police hunt lasts, the higher the potential rewards.
The chase can end in three ways: by entering the ID Parade where Bert is Busted, when all 15 positions on the reels are filled with Diamond symbols and the Grand Jackpot is awarded, or if the player claims the maximum win of 7000x.
Michael Bauer, CFO/CGO at Greentube, said: “Diamond Link™: Cops ‘n’ Robbers™ takes the essence of a timeless classic and adds the Diamond Link™ treatment, to really maximise the excitement for players with a game that is jam-packed with riches.
“It’s a fun theme with fantastic characters that really showcases both our strong heritage and the ability to create content that pushes the boundaries within online gaming. We can’t wait for players across the world to enjoy it.”
Psiclone Games and Playtech-built title features three Free Spins modifiers, including expanding reels, sliding wilds and jackpots up to 500x bet.
PokerStars Casino has released Skullapalooza as the fifth game in its 2026 The Slotlist series, making the title the featured slot on the operator’s Casino tab for the month.
Skullapalooza is developed by Psiclone Games and Playtech. The game’s core hook is a Free Spins system built around three “Skull” features that can be triggered individually or in combination: expanding reels, jackpot accumulators and stacked sliding wilds.
According to the company, players can land different coloured gems to randomly trigger one or more Free Spins variants. Pink gems may trigger Free Games with Expanding Reels, blue gems may add Sliding Wilds, and purple gems may activate pots with a grand prize of up to 500x total bet. The company said all three variants can be active at once.
“The Slotlist is designed to spotlight games that deliver a well-rounded player experience, combining innovative features, striking visuals, and immersive gameplay”, said Ed Fogarty, Associate Director of PokerStars Casino Commercial. “Skullapalooza embodies all these qualities, and we’re thrilled to feature it prominently in The Slotlist this month.”
Skullapalooza joins earlier 2026 Slotlist picks including Baozang Empire of Plenty, Magnificent Power Leprechaun, and 12 Burning Baseballs.

Governor Hobbs signs SB 1671; new budget sets $4M spend authority plus $500K a year from event wagering funds.
The Arizona Department of Gaming has secured a six-year continuation after Governor Hobbs signed Senate Bill 1671, following the 2026 legislative session that adjourned June 12, 2026. The continuation also covers the Arizona State Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission and the Arizona Racing Commission.
The Department said SB 1671 affirms its authority to regulate tribal gaming, event wagering and fantasy sports, horse racing and simulcast wagering, and boxing and mixed martial arts.
In parallel, the Department said Senate Bill 1847 and the state’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget expand expenditure authority for its Division of Problem Gambling. The budget authorizes $4,000,000 in total spending for the Division, which the agency said is a 20% increase from FY26.
The Department also said the legislature granted an annual $500,000 expenditure authority to use Event Wagering funds to support problem gambling, and that the Division will have grant oversight authority for the first time.
“Arizona first established the Department of Gaming in 1995 – and more than thirty years later, we remain excited about world-class regulation benefiting the entire state,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “I’m grateful to Governor Hobbs and leaders in the state legislature, particularly continuation bill sponsor State Senator Shawnna Bolick, who thoroughly reviewed our agency with a deep commitment to public service, and I am pleased that the Department secured its continuation, which will allow us to strengthen our focus points in robust consumer protection and integrity.”
“The new state budget will strengthen longstanding investments in problem gambling assistance made possible through partnerships with Arizona’s Tribal Nations and the Arizona Lottery,” said Elise Mikkelsen. “We continue to see strong demand from individuals and families seeking information, resources, and treatment for gambling-related harm. This increased funding will help us expand the continuum of care and ensure more Arizonans have access to effective, inclusive, and timely support.”
