Push Gaming’s Samurai’s Katana adds cyberpunk edge to classic features

B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming has taken inspiration from one of its many successful legacy titles, to reinvigorate nudging wilds using a cyberpunk theme in its latest slot, Samurai’s Katana.
Putting its own unique take on a trending subgenre of science fiction, the lowlife and high-tech concept leans on the strong performance of Tiki Tumble, evolving the gameplay that proved such a hit with players following the game’s original release.
Samurai’s Katana refreshes the nudging wilds mechanic popularised by Tiki Tumble, adding instant prizes and a Gamble Scatter symbol to the gameplay on offer.
Played across 5×4 reels and 20 win lines, the dystopian theme sees cyborg killers wield tech-imbued weapons allied with the ancient skills of the samurai.
A futuristic neon-soaked city landscape is the background for the game board which is home to an array of tech-inspired symbols. The audio effects match the sci-fi visuals, creating an immersive cyberpunk experience that further augments Push Gaming’s portfolio of thematic hits.
Anastasiia Mysan, Game Producer at Push Gaming, said: “Samurai’s Katana has allowed us to develop a fresh take on popular gameplay features married to a hot theme.
“The addition of instant prizes that pay both ways when forming at least three-of-a-kind matching combinations with wilds is key to the experience.
“We think slot enthusiasts will adore the free spins which allows players to climb to a high multiplier in very few spins and continue the game after its conclusion by landing more wild stacks.”

Climate Financing
Nordic Gaming Company Paf Continues Annual Climate Financing – Supports Hydropower Project in Peru

The Nordic gaming company Paf has once again demonstrated its strong environmental commitment by fully climate financing its measured carbon footprint for 2024. This year’s contribution supports the development of a certified hydropower project in the Monzón district of Peru.
Paf has engaged in climate financing every year since 2017, when the company began systematically measuring its climate impact. The company now tracks over 95% of its emissions – both direct and indirect – and works actively to reduce them throughout its operations and value chain. Paf’s Net Zero 2040 target has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
“Paf is a strong company with the resources to contribute to the transition the world needs. That’s why we choose to climate finance our entire measured footprint – every year,” says Ludvig Winberg, Corporate Communication & Environmental Manager at Paf.
Climate financing – a global responsibility
Climate financing, also known as offsetting, means that Paf funds certified climate projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions. Over the years, Paf has supported projects around the world – mostly in countries that lack resources to invest in climate action, but also in places like Iceland, where advanced technology enables direct air capture of carbon dioxide.
“This is not a substitute for reducing emissions, but a way to take responsibility for what we haven’t yet been able to reduce – while supporting global sustainable development,” says Ludvig Winberg.
The hydropower project in Peru, which Paf supports in 2024, has an installed capacity of 20.58 MW and is located along the Aucantagua River, a tributary of the Monzón River. The project is listed on the United Nations Carbon offset platform.
“The SBTi does not require companies to finance climate projects while striving towards Net-Zero, but they strongly recommend that companies with the ability to do so contribute to broader environmental efforts. We then rely on the UN platform that the projects we support are impactful and credible,” says Ludvig Winberg.

ODDSGATE BECOMES AN OFFICIAL MEMBER OF IBIA

Oddsgate is now part of the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), one of the leading global organizations dedicated to integrity in sports betting.
The decision to join IBIA reflects a simple truth: in a sector shaped by speed and scale, the commitment to compliance, security, and ethical play keeps the foundation intact and the future open.
IBIA represents over 50 licensed operators, encompasses over 125 brands, and monitors over USD 300 billion in annual betting volume. Oddsgate underwent a rigorous audit process to join this trusted network, evaluating everything from governance practices to operational and technological integrity controls.
“Being part of IBIA is more than just a seal. It’s a natural extension of what we believe in and practice daily: responsibility, transparency, and consistency,” says Óscar Madureira, Chief Legal Officer at Oddsgate. “We always consider that our role as a B2B platform goes beyond technical support. We know that, directly or indirectly, we also contribute to the perception and development of the industry. That’s why we take an active stance in promoting good practices across all fronts.”
This achievement adds to a series of recent milestones for the company, like the recognition at the SiGMA Awards Americas 2025 for its work with Brazilian operators, earning two new ISO certifications, and strengthening its educational initiatives with internal teams and external partners.
Global Outlook: the impact of initiatives like IBIA
According to projections from IBIA itself, the regulated sports betting market was expected to reach USD 94 billion in global gross gaming revenue (GGR) in 2024, with 65% of that total (USD 61 billion) generated online. By 2028, estimates point to USD 132 billion in GGR, with over 70% (USD 93 billion) coming from digital channels.
Football remains the main driver of this growth, expected to account for 56% of global GGR in 2024, reaching USD 53 billion. Moreover, between 2017 and 2023, 99.96% of events monitored by IBIA showed no signs of manipulation, reinforcing the strength of its integrity monitoring system.
In Brazil, a key market for Oddsgate, onshore GGR is projected to reach USD 2.8 billion by 2028, as long as public policies do not restrict sector development. Otherwise, up to USD 18 billion annually may be diverted to offshore operators, undermining revenue and regulatory control.
Technology serving integrity
For Oddsgate, integrity starts with product architecture and extends across the user journey. The company’s commissioned study, Gate to 2050, had already anticipated this vision: the industry’s future will increasingly be shaped by technology applied to responsibility.
“As the sector grows, so does our responsibility to protect users, which requires ongoing action,” Óscar emphasizes. “We’re aware of the risks, but even more committed to the solutions. With technology, training, and international cooperation, we can make safe gaming the standard rather than the exception.”
The study points to the next generation of platforms equipped with real-time monitoring systems capable of identifying risky behavioral patterns, triggering automated interventions, and collaborating with mental health professionals. Technologies such as RegTech and blockchain are set to play a decisive role in compliance, simplifying audits and strengthening operational traceability.
Ongoing Commitment
By joining IBIA, Oddsgate steps into the frontlines of an industry in transformation. Where integrity is non-negotiable, technology drives accountability, and regulation isn’t a limit, but a launchpad.
As part of this effort, it offers in-depth content on integrity, compliance, and other key topics shaping the future of iGaming. Gate To 2050 is also an invitation to reflection and action for all who share the same commitment to transforming the market.
