Made-in-India hero shooter Battle Stars has now over 2 million players worldwide in just three weeks of its release on the App Store and Google Play. To celebrate this milestone, developer SuperGaming has released a brand new battle royale mode for the game, now live on iOS and Android.

“We are humbled with the response to Battle Stars particularly thanks to Techno Gamerz and his many fans that showed their support by downloading the game on launch day,” says Christelle D’cruz, Battle Stars Game Lead and co-founder at SuperGaming. “Now with over two million players and counting in less than a month, this is the right time to add battle royale to the game. We’ve been testing the mode out internally for some time now and hope you have as much fun playing it as we did making it.”

Battle Stars’ battle royale mode will have players pick their favourite hero, drop into the Mumbai map called ‘Amchi Mumbai’, and shoot to survive while escaping a storm that shrinks the map to be the last Battle Star standing.

The map has been modified keeping the sensibilities of the battle royale genre in mind and features a host of pick-ups including speed boosts, ammo, and health.

The game also gets two new heroes based on Mumbai — Divya and Veer. Divya sets her foes ablaze with fires hotter than a Mumbai summer while Veer drops enemies with his boombox’s beats.

Updates to the game that bring battle royale and new heroes drop on iOS and Android are live now along with a new seasonal battle pass. For those on iOS, keep an eye out for Battle Stars on the App Store’s Today Tab as well as Apple Music’s Browse section where the game headlines its Apple Music Gaming playlist.

This isn’t all. Battle Stars is made in collaboration with India’s top gaming YouTuber, Techno Gamerz aka Ujjwal Chaurasia. He has worked closely with SuperGaming to develop his playable hero as well as the recently concluded Techno Quest. Furthering this, new skins for his hero (Desi Techno, Ujjwal, and Hip Hop Techno) are also available with the battle royale update.

Battle Stars Season 1 by the Numbers

Battle Stars’ Season 1 has recently concluded with players competing for the top spot on the leaderboard to meet Techno Gamerz in person. In these three weeks Battle Stars players have clocked in around two million hours and played nearly 3.7 million matches. The number one player on Season 1’s leaderboard has played a staggering 8,942 matches.

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.
