NAILED IT! GAMES INVITES PLAYERS FOR SOME FELINE FUN WITH CATPURRY
Nailed It! Games, an independent Krakow-based games studio, is purring into action with its latest action-packed release, CatPurry, available exclusively on the Games Global Platform.
The game’s 5×3 reels feature colourful candy symbols and a unique stacked Cat that can appear on the middle reel. When the Cat lands, it covers the entire reel and immediately adds three Scatter Coins, with six coins awarding an Epic Strike™ jackpot prize.
These symbols can also land separately during base gameplay. If four or more Scatter Coins land on one spin, or through the Special Scatter feature, they’ll unlock a Sticky Respin, with the chance to win additional prizes.
The Sweet 15 bonus can be triggered by landing 15 coins on a single spin, each Scatter Coin will reveal two outcomes: unwrapping a chocolate coin awards no prize, whereas a Diamond Coin awards players with 1,000x their bet.
Whilst playing CatPurry, players can unlock a Free Spins bonus round by landing three or more Free Spins symbols on any spin. During the bonus round, the Cat will add one more symbol to its stack with every free game.
With this release, Nailed It! Games demonstrates its commitment to innovation and pushing the limits of slot-making. The Cat Stack, Special Scatter, and Sweet 15 features introduce fresh and thrilling opportunities that offer transformative experiences.
CatPurry is the latest release from the provider, which has also recently introduced groundbreaking titles such as Rome Supermatch™ and Dog Days. The company has plans to release more exciting and unique games throughout the rest of 2023 and beyond.
Paweł Piotrowski, co-founder of Nailed It! Games, said: “We’re thrilled to introduce CatPurry, our delightful new slot that will see players embark on a feline-filled adventure.
“There are chances to land amazing prizes on each spin, with bonus features such as Sweet 15, Scatters and the Stacked Cat adding to the excitement on offer in both the base game and bonus round. We can’t wait for players to get their paws on this one!”

UK High Court Rejects Legal Challenges Relating to the National Lottery Licence
On 17 April 2026, the UK High Court rejected in full the claims brought by The New Lottery Company Limited (TNLC) and Northern & Shell PLC (N&S) against the Gambling Commission in relation to the award of the Fourth National Lottery Licence.
In summary, the claims alleged that the Gambling Commission had wrongly awarded the Fourth National Lottery Licence to Allwyn, and that instead, TNLC should have won the competition. The claims also alleged that the Gambling Commission and Allwyn had entered into impermissible modifications to the Licence arrangements following the competition.
The lengthy trial of the claims took place in the High Court before Mrs Justice Joanna Smith between 9 October and 2 December 2025, with an additional day on 13 January 2026.
The High Court has now ruled in favour of the Gambling Commission on all of the claims, rejecting the allegations which had been made.
This is an important judgment for the future of The National Lottery. This judgment makes clear that the Gambling Commission ran a fair and robust competition to award the Fourth National Lottery Licence, and that none of the contested changes to the Licence, in the course of its implementation, were substantial or contrary to the relevant procurement regulations.
The judgment gives resounding support to Good Causes by enabling Allwyn, with oversight from the Commission, to continue with their plans of investment in The National Lottery without further distraction.
The National Lottery is one of the world’s largest lotteries and since launching in 1994, National Lottery players have collectively raised more than £52 billion for more than 670,000 Good Causes across the UK, transforming lives and contributing to the arts, sport, heritage and communities.

Play’n GO publishes 2025 Sustainability Report with emissions and governance updates
Play’n GO has published its 2025 Sustainability Report, framing the year as a milestone as the supplier marks 20 years in the gaming industry. The report covers performance across four pillars—Players, Partners, People and Planet—and positions sustainability as tied to product design, operations, and partner expectations.
On climate reporting, the company said it has “achieved and exceeded” its long-term 90% reduction target for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and reported a 69% absolute reduction in Scope 3 emissions versus its 2023 base year. Play’n GO also said its total material emissions for 2025 were kept below 500 MTCO2e.
The report also points to a move into land-based delivery. In 2025, Play’n GO said it launched its first land-based gaming solution in partnership with Genting UK, positioning the rollout as part of a “player-first, low-footprint approach” for regulated venues.
On responsible entertainment, the company said it continues to reject game mechanics it believes “compromise player trust or wellbeing,” and highlighted participation in discussions on digital wellbeing and cognitive health, including at the United Nations and G7. “We have always believed that great entertainment should be fun, safe and fair,” said Vanessa Björkbacka, Director of CSR at Play’n GO.
The report also outlines internal development and reporting infrastructure. Play’n GO said 43% of employees engaged in AI-related learning during 2025 and that average training time exceeded seven hours per employee globally. It added that reporting was further aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and World Economic Forum Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics, alongside investment in “secure, AI-supported carbon data management.” “As expectations on transparency and accountability continue to rise, we see it as our responsibility to lead,” Björkbacka added.
