Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (“Inspired” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: INSE) is pleased to announce the release of its player popular Big Fishing Fortune slot to the Cat C market. It has everything the proven Big Fish Fortune B3 slot has, plus more! From its fishing-themed game symbols to its innovative BIG Free Spins bonus mechanic where players can cast their hook to reel in big wins, this slot promises the same level of excitement as its predecessor – even more so with its new gamble feature. Following the success of Catch of the Day, the No.1 pub game, Inspired is ready to throw another fishing themed slot in the pond that is sure to catch players’ attention.

Players will need to reel in three or more bonus symbols to trigger the Big Fishing Fortune Bonus. During the Big Fishing Fortune Bonus, players have unlimited free spins until the fisherman catches the Big Fish Value.

Before the bonus begins, players will be presented with 6,9 or 12 identical titles depending on the number of bonus symbols used to trigger the feature, selecting these symbols one at a time will uncover a Big Fish Value, which can be up to 100x the stake.

Players should watch out for the fisherman and any fish landing in view during the bonus – the values shown on the fish will be paid and if more than one fisherman appears, each fish is awarded again for every extra fisherman in view offering players potentially lucrative cash pay-outs and a guaranteed Big Fish win!

A new gamble feature has been added to the Cat C version of Big Fishing Fortune, giving players the option to gamble their winnings for cash or Free Spins. Upon choosing to gamble, two wheels will appear, each with a gamble ladder. The left wheel can increase winnings by up to 10 times, while the right wheel can reward Free Spins. Players must select a wheel to spin and gamble. If the pointer lands on the green segment a cash prize or Free Spins will be awarded.

Big Fishing Fortune’s LBO/B3’s and online success was a catalyst for its conversion into a UK CAT C game, supporting Inspired’s omni-channel strategic approach in offering multi-faceted content to our retail customers. Big Fishing Fortune is a Big Bonus style game that features our game changing Free Spins mechanic which is proven through the millions of loyal players enjoying Big Bonus and Big Spin Bonus worldwide. Big Fishing Fortune gives players an all-round fun and engaging gaming experience, whether online or in retail.

In recent years, Inspired has become known for its “BIG” retail and online games, which feature some of our highest performing free-spins mechanics: Big Bonus, Big Spin Bonus, and Big Collector Bonus.

Richard Terry, UK Product Director said: “We are excited at Inspired to launch Big Fishing Fortune into the Cat C sector. With its BIG mechanic having proved so popular in the B3 version across the AGC and LBO sectors, it’s now time for the Cat C game to take over the pond. Players will love the extra gamble function which gives them increased choice in accessing the Big Fishing Fortune Bonus.  We should have another Big Splash on our hands with this Cat C version!”

Gentle Fox Hold and Win continues 1spin4win’s four-part Japanese-themed slot series, following Tiger’s Steps Hold and Win, April’s most-played slot by bet count.

While its official release date is May 29, Gentle Fox Hold and Win was selected for exclusive pre-release by leading casino platforms, including Irwin, Gizbo, Jet, Izzi, Fresh, and others — a clear sign that operators are actively seeking content that combines originality with commercial impact.

Being the second title in the series, the game invites players to uncover the story of Tomoko-hama — the dangerously charming geisha known as the Gentle Fox — whose wit, beauty, and cunning hide a deeper motive.

Set in the shadow of Mount Fuji, Gentle Fox Hold and Win picks up the narrative thread that began in the first game of the series, drawing players further into a carefully crafted storyline. Years after being taken from her village and brought to the shogun’s castle, Tomoko-hama now tests the will and bravery of those who enter her tea house.

The core challenge of the game is the Hold and Win feature, triggered by landing three or more golden Coins. Players must then fill the Bonus reels with more Coins for the chance to win big, including the x100 Minipot Coin and the elusive x1,000 Megapot.

Olga Bogdanova, the Art Director at 1spin4win, commented, “The second slot in our Japanese-themed series keeps the rich atmosphere of the first but adds a deeper, more intriguing layer. Designed in warm tones, the game gently draws you into a world where calm hides a silent secret.”

Despite the narrative depth, the gameplay remains easy to understand with medium volatility and 97.1% RTP, which is in line with 1spin4win’s signature approach to slot design: simple mechanics, high engagement, and intuitive play for all levels of players.

As this new chapter opens, players move one step closer to the final clash that awaits in the series’ concluding release. Until then, all eyes are on Tomoko-hama — the Gentle Fox — and the secrets she’s yet to reveal.

AI has transformed the art of buying a race horse, with records smashed at 2025 breeze up sale events

2025’s breeze up sales are completed, with last Friday’s Tattersalls Ireland sale at Fairyhouse concluding the events for the year. 

Breeze up sales are a vital part of the horse racing industry. Data is essential for punters to make informed sports bets and is equally important when assessing the potential of a race horse.

At a breeze up event, race horse trainers, buyers and journalists get to watch two-year-old horses literally “breeze up and down” the track, showing off their pedigree, canter, gait, and hundreds of other data points that go into predicting  a horse’s future performance on the racetrack.

Not only have the sales broken all the 2024 records in many metrics, they’ve also surpassed some all-time records since breeze up sales began in Great Britain in the 1970s – from top-selling lots to the total sales figures.

One notable facet of this year’s events was the contribution of Pythia Sports’ new proprietary technology, which combines artificial intelligence, machine learning, and historical breeze up sales data to improve the accuracy of performance predictions.

The Highlights

Stephen Davison, head of commercial operations at Pythia, said: “The video content captures some brilliant highlights of everything that goes into creating a complete data set at the 2025 sales. The breeze up continues to be an ever-popular sale for buyers seeking top two-year-old talent, and it’s a testament to the hard work of all the consignors and buyers who helped drive this year’s record-breaking results. We hope the insights provided through our data have played a small part in supporting their success.  

“From our point of view, we’re really pleased to have been involved in 18 purchases, with the combined purchase prices exceeding £1.4 million. We’re very much looking forward to seeing them on the track and hope they prove very lucky for their owners.”

Davison continues: “It’s also fantastic for those who want an inside look into some of the hard work that happens behind-the-scenes in horse racing. We’re really pleased at how successful the sales have been, and we love how the sector has responded to our breeze up technology.

“Incorporating more than 100 essential factors, the innovative tech is a proprietary model which evaluates time, stride and biomechanics for every horse at the breeze ups. These individual factors  then generate a comprehensive rating for each horse,” said Davison.

Breeze up sales – by the numbers 

2025 was a banner year for breeze ups across Europe, with YOY changes increasing greatly and some historic records smashed.

  • Total turnover from all sales: c£70.2m

  • Craven YOY increase: +25.7%

  • Goffs UK YOY increase: +12.4%

  • Arqana YOY increase: +24.8%

  • Tatersalls Ireland YOY increase: +21.5%

In addition, at the Craven sale, the record purchase price for a breeze up horse was broken on consecutive days:

  • £1.4m Acclamation colt – purchased by Godolphin

  • £1.75m – Havana Grey colt purchased by Amo Racing,

Further records broken:

  • The horse that won the 2,000 Guineas, Ruling Court, was a breeze up horse that sold for €2.4m at 2024’s Arqana Sale

  • The first-ever Goffs sale of a £1m breeze up horse occurred this year, with a Mehmas colt selling to Godolphin.

  • 2025’s Tattersalls Ireland sale was the first time trade has exceeded the €10m euros mark – the first time in Tattersalls Ireland history the 8-figure mark was reached.

  • Top lot was a Night of Thunder colt sold to Stroud Coleman Bloodstock for 580,000 EUROS.

“Tattersalls Ireland provided a fantastic finale to the breeze up season, with average prices rising and yet more records falling. It’s clear that breeze ups have become an essential part of the sales calendar, offering buyers both quality and confidence. It’s an exciting time for the sector — and now, with the sales behind us, the spotlight shifts to the track. I’m sure, like me, everyone is eagerly anticipating how these horses perform, especially with some already making a strong impression,” Davison explained.
