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!”

BetterGambling Exclusive Report: 800+ UK Casino Operators Face Closure as 2026 Regulations Trigger Industry Apocalypse

Published

BetterGambling, the UK’s independent gambling industry think tank, released its comprehensive Market Intelligence Report, indicating over 800 casino operators will be forced out of the UK market by 2027, the largest industry slump in British gambling history.

The study, authored by BetterGambling’s stable of former casino bosses and regulatory experts, projects a precipitous 30-40% drop in authorised operators as the 2026 regulatory landscape renders continued operation economically non-viable for the low-to-midsized players.

“We are witnessing the greatest scale of change since the Gambling Act 2005. Our analysis proves that this is not just market consolidation – it’s a structural realignment of an industry that today supports 2,262 licensed operators as of March 2024,” said Diana Tunsu, Reviewer at BetterGambling.

Key findings from the BetterGambling report include:

• 680-900 operators anticipated to exit the market by the end of 2027 (30-40% of the current market)

• New casino launches will drop by 60-70% relative to 2024 levels

• White-label operations will see a 45-55% closure rate as a result of shifts in platform economics

• Stand-alone casinos will see 40-50% market consolidation as a result of compliance barriers

• Total first-year compliance investment of £800,000-2.8 million per operator.

The Compliance Investment Reality

BetterGambling’s in-depth analysis of operators reveals the true cash investment required for 2026 compliance. The regulatory fee alone will remove £100 million from the industry annually, and technology infrastructure upgrades will cost individual operators between £500,000 and £2 million.

“The economics are straightforward. Operators with GGY below £3 million per year are faced with a stark choice: spend significantly on compliance or consider strategic options including withdrawing from the market,” explained Diana Tunsu.

White-Label Market Transformation

White-label casino businesses are recognized as being severely tested in this report, with 45-55% predicted to merge or close down. Of the estimated 350-450 current white-label businesses, BetterGambling predicts 200-300 will survive past 2027.

“White-label operators have a complex equation,” said the BetterGambling research team.

“They must navigate through the same compliance for independent operators when handling revenue-sharing arrangements with platform providers.”
