Evolution today announced the launch of Balloon Race, its latest-generation online slot game that brings together traditional, much-loved slot features with the excitement of a live game-show-style bonus round featuring a ball drawing machine.

Balloon Race, in which players soar high and accumulate multipliers in Qualification and Top-Up phases, follows on from the likes of Evolution’s hugely successful Crazy Coin Flip and Crazy Pachinko slot games with live bonus rounds.

Balloon Race stands out from other live slots with the exciting inclusion of Expanding Wilds that boost players’ chances of forming a qualifying combination. Its vivid graphics and the exciting race element add to the suspense, making every spin an unforgettable adventure.

Players must first qualify for the live Balloon Race bonus game by collecting three scatter symbols in the Qualification slot. In the Top-Up phase, players can ramp up their chances of multiplied winnings through an engaging ballon-rising and popping action. Afterwards, additional random multipliers are unleased to boost the potential reward. Next, players enter the live Balloon Race bonus round, which offers a seamless blend of live action and exciting balloon racing in the sky. In this final phase, a game host oversees a ball-drawing machine that releases coloured balls. These balls propel players’ correspondingly coloured balloons upwards towards the finish line.

Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution commented: “When our team created Balloon Race, the aim was very much to appeal to traditional slot players. At the same time, drawing on our Group brands’ expertise across live casino, live game shows and online slots, we also wanted to make Balloon Race very different—both visually and in terms of the player experience.”

Haushalter added: “Balloon Race achieves everything we set out to do and more. But what stands out for me is how colourful, simple and fun-to-play Balloon Race is. It’s an uplifting game in so many ways—not least because it offers players engaging entertainment with the potential to win accumulated multipliers!”

To celebrate the event, Casino Kings is rolling out an exciting promotional offer for new and existing customers alike.

“The Grand National is not an event to miss out on in this industry,” says James Dowd, CEO of Casino Kings. “Since we launched the sportsbook on Casino Kings at the end of last year, it’s been our biggest interest to provide the best sports betting experience, we possibly can. Our Grand National offer this year is only a glimpse of what’s ahead for our customers!”

Adding to the excitement, demand for this year’s Grand National has reached new heights. Grand National Saturday is officially sold out, and Friday’s Ladies Day has also sold out, proving just how much anticipation surrounds the event.

Could this be the race that turns fortunes around for bettors? With Casino Kings’ offer, there’s never been a better time to get back in the game.

Innovative provider takes its classic slot games and smart subscription-based commercial agreement into its second market via deal with popular online casino brand

Cherry Play, the in-demand content provider with a unique subscription-based commercial model that’s taking the market by storm, has expanded into the Belgian market through a deal with leading online casino brand, StarCasino.

The partnership means players at StarCasino.be can now access the provider’s proven slot content including titles like Multi Banks, Super Coin, Chef Super Bet and others as well as its Golden Cherry Jackpot System.

These games, which have been built on Bragg Gaming’s cutting-edge technology stack to provide unrivalled quality for players and a smooth, seamless integration for operators, have already hit the mark with players in the Netherlands where they are live with several top-tier casino brands.

StarCasino becomes the first operator in Belgium to offer Cherry Play’s games to players and to take advantage of the supplier’s innovative subscription-based model. Instead of the industry-standard revenue share, StarCasino pays a monthly licence fee to access the provider’s games.

This allows StarCasino to give Cherry Play’s titles much better lobby positioning and increased promotional spend as the operator gets to keep the vast majority of the revenue each title generates.

Cherry Play only made its debut in January this year but has already built huge momentum behind the studio, launching its first six titles and integrating with big-name operators in the Netherlands and now Belgium.

Olga Bejela, Cherry Play CEO, said: “Launching in Belgium with StarCasino is another milestone moment for Cherry Play as we continue to bring our proven slot games and innovative subscription model to operators in regulated markets across Europe and beyond.

“Demand for slot content is high in Belgium and titles such as Multi Banks and Super Coin have been designed to deliver thrilling gameplay, and potentially big wins, so will absolutely hit the mark with StarCasino’s players.

“It’s also great for the operator to be able to take advantage of our subscription-based model which is proving to be a big draw.”

S. Maene, Director at StarCasino, added: “Cherry Play’s first run of games captures the essence of a slot but with its own unique twist on the gameplay to ensure a thrilling player experience from the first spin to the last.

“If its games caught our attention, its unique subscription model was a catalyst for getting the deal over the line as soon as possible and we are genuinely pleased to be the first brand in Belgium to be able to offer its games to our players.”

EGBA Publishes its Annual Activity Report 2025

The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA), representing Europe’s leading online gambling operators, has published its Annual Activity Report. The report showcases EGBA’s key achievements and provides valuable insights into the European online gambling market through aggregated market data from its members.

The Annual Activity Report 2025 details EGBA’s achievements across several areas. The 4th annual European Safer Gambling Week expanded to a record 26 countries with 195 stakeholders participating, reaching 3 million citizens with important safety messages. EGBA’s annual sustainability reporting revealed record usage of safer gambling tools, with 21 million customers (65% of total) using safety tools and over 67 million messages sent to players to promote safe and sustainable play.

EGBA conducted a second monitoring exercise of its pan-European responsible advertising code, focusing on minor protection measures. The association advanced its anti-money laundering initiatives, organising workshops to educate industry stakeholders about the EU’s new AML framework. The association strengthened its industry representation with Superbet Group, LeoVegas Group and Sumsub all joining as new members.

The report also presents aggregated 2024 European online gambling market data from the association’s members, including information about their combined gross gaming revenues, stakes, return to player rates, customer winnings, products and licenses. The data reveals a 15% increase in the combined online gross gaming revenues of EGBA members to €13.5 billion in 2024, with casino games representing 51% of total revenue.

“It was a significant year for EGBA: our membership expanded, we hosted a record-breaking European Safer Gambling Week that reached over 3 million citizens with safety messages, and we provided input into many important policy discussions. As Finland completes its transition from a monopoly to a licensing system, all EU member states will soon have some form of multi-licensing framework for online gambling. This is a major milestone, representing a fundamental change in Europe’s regulatory landscape over the past 15 years, and validates our view that competitive, well-regulated markets are the best way to protect consumers. Looking ahead, we’ll continue to promote effective policies that support safer gambling and address remaining anti-competitive regulation and practices,” said Maarten Haijer, Secretary General of EGBA.
