In this exclusive Slotsspot interview, we speak with Beta, Voice of Betora Games — the brand character who speaks for the studio's whole team of developers, designers, mathematicians and analysts. Beta explains why the new studio, introduced at SBC Summit 2026 alongside Platipus Gaming and PLATi+, competes on refinement rather than novelty, how Big Catch Rush and Obsidian Rush were built, and what operators and players can expect from Betora Games in the coming months.

More than 65,000 games from over 1,000 studios: that is what the online casino market looks like today. According to eGaming Monitor data for August 2026, this volume of content was available across more than 4,200 operator websites. In a market like this, simply releasing a quality game is not enough. It still has to compete for a place in the lobby and a few seconds of the player's attention. This raises a natural question: if the choice is already so vast, how many more new providers does the industry need? We discussed this question with four young studios: Unwanted Games, Formula Spin, MEGAFAIR, and Riddec Games. Their approaches differ considerably, ranging from provocative themes and a highly recognisable identity to technical optimisation, high production values, customer development, and the steady expansion of their own game series. Yet behind these different strategies lies a common challenge: making a good game is no longer enough. A studio also needs to show operators why they need another content supplier, then make sure players notice its title among hundreds of others.

Halloween 2026 is almost here, and game providers have prepared a few new releases to match the spooky season. Some of them stick to classic Halloween characters and decorations, while others take a different approach, with dark adventures, ancient curses, magic, and mystery. So, there is quite a bit of variety this October, both in terms of themes and gameplay features.

If you’re wondering which Platipus slot is number one, there is no single answer, as it depends on the metric. In the provider’s official data, 3 Royal Bags is the leader by both player count and spins, while Charge the Reels, in turn, ranks first in Europe and the UK. Piedra del Sol Deluxe stands out for a different reason, and it’s because it produced the largest recorded win in the supplied data. In this article, we’ll look at the rankings from several angles together. Player activity, betting volume, GGR, regional positions, and individual results will not all point to the same leader. All of them combined basically give a clearer picture of which Platipus games perform strongest, and where exactly.

In this exclusive SlotsSpot interview, we speak with Michal Szafran, Junior Game Producer at Yggdrasil, about the making of Vikings Go To Hollywood, the latest chapter in the studio's long-running Vikings Go saga. Michal shares what it's like to take on one of Yggdrasil's flagship franchises early in a new role, how the team moved the Vikings from mythology to the red carpet, and why the Wild Fight and Rushing Wilds mechanics were the right pair for this release.
