Thunderkick launches Milk the Cow, a quirky 5x5 slot with Wild Field and Hold & Win features, offering farmyard fun and jackpots up to 5,000x! Independent slots studio Thunderkick has raised the steaks with the launch of Milk the Cow, the latest addition to its diverse content portfolio that fuses the popular Wild Field mechanic with a Hold & Win feature to unlock 5,000x jackpot wins. Whimsical cows roam the reels of this 5x5 cluster pays slot, where the Wild Field mechanic returns following its success in the recent release, Archie O’Loggins and the Enchanted Masks . Landing two cow wilds during the base game activates the mechanic, creating a rectangle connecting the two cows and transforming all symbols within the field into wilds. The Field Day feature takes inspiration from the Wild Field mechanic and is triggered when two tractor bonus symbols land. A rectangle of ploughed soil is formed between the two tractors, with the bonus feature awarded if the farmer lands within the field. When the bonus is triggered, the field becomes fenced off, adjacent grid positions become Hot Zones, and three respins are awarded, where only hay, cow, and farmer icons can land. Each cow that lands locks in place and resets the number of respins to three. Cows that land within the fenced field have a meter attached and begin as bronze symbols, upgrading to silver and gold cows when the meter is filled, enhancing their value. The fenced field expands when a farmer lands in an adjacent Hot Zone, while filling the entire grid with 25 cows awards the 5,000x Grand Jackpot. Milk the Cow bolsters a strong portfolio of content already released in 2025, including The Wildos 2 , The Golden Pot & Pints , and Midas Golden Touch 3 , emphasising Thunderkick’s consistency in creating immersive, entertaining titles. Mike Collins, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “We are always looking for bold new game concepts where we can fuse entertaining features and strong win potential with our signature artwork style. “ Milk the Cow reintroduces the popular Wild Field mechanic that has proven a real hit with players, as well a unique take on the Hold & Win feature where progress meters level up payouts.”  Read related article: BetGames Launches Bad Baboons Deluxe & Gold Adventure

Leading games provider BetGames has bolstered its RNG content portfolio with the launch of the anticipated sequel, Bad Baboons Deluxe, and a brand-new Wild West quest, Gold Adventure. Following the success of the original release, Bad Baboons Deluxe reintroduces the familiar mischievous monkeys and jungle setting, but on an enhanced 6x3 grid, offering more ways to win. Landing five gold monkey coins activates the Hold & Win feature with three respins, where symbols can carry cash values up to 10x or the Mini, Major, or Mega Jackpot worth 20x, 50x, or 200x, respectively. Filling the entire grid with coins awards the maximum 10,000x Ultra Jackpot. The Free Spins feature can be triggered by landing three to five scatters, awarding between 10 and 15 spins. During this bonus, all banana wilds that contribute to a winning combination expand to fill the entire reel, boosting payouts. Similarly to Bad Baboons Deluxe , the action in Gold Adventure centres around the Free Spins and Hold & Win bonuses, with the action taking place in an American Frontier town. Five or more sheriff badges trigger the Hold & Win feature, with each that lands carrying cash prizes up to 200x, while filling the entire grid awards a 5,000x maximum win. Both titles have a card and ladder gamble, as well as a bonus buy option integrated for specific markets, emphasising BetGames’ drive to grant the player greater control over how they play. Since making its debut in the slots vertical in January 2025, BetGames has developed and released numerous engaging titles that diversify its offering and make it a standout supplier in the iGaming space.

Games Global and AreaVegas launch Area Link™ Phoenix Firestorm, a fiery sequel packed with new fireball features, epic jackpots, and thrilling upgrade paths. Games Global’s exclusive studio AreaVegas Games turns up the heat with the launch of Area Link™ Phoenix Firestorm, the scorching sequel to its breakout debut. Building upon the original’s success, this latest instalment introduces two new collectible eggs, an evolved feature set, and the all-new Phoenix Firestorm, delivering even more explosive gameplay and win potential. Soaring back into the jewel-filled skies, players will encounter six bright Phoenix Fireballs, each linked to unique upgrade paths. The iconic Area Link™ feature returns with a twist; when triggered by one or more fireballs, it collects orbs into coloured eggs above the reels. Once activated, all fireballs lock into place and award three respins. With prizes ranging from cash to jackpots and a Grand Jackpot of 50,000x awarded for filling every reel position, the game’s payout ceiling matches its visual intensity. The title’s crown jewel is the Phoenix Firestorm feature, which transforms the yellow fireball into the phoenix fireball, unlocking an Area Link™ feature infused with random upgrades for amplified win potential. Each coloured fireball introduces its own dynamic modifier. The orange phoenix adds multipliers of 2x,3x or 4x to all yellow fireballs, whilst the red phoenix collects all prizes and converts to a yellow fireball thereafter. The green phoenix supercharges prizes with random boosts on each spin and the blue phoenix enhances the yellow fireballs’ value. If a magenta phoenix is present, the feature duplicates, awarding a second Area Link™ grid for double the chance of landing upgrades and winning combinations. Players can also experience multiple upgrades simultaneously if more than one coloured phoenix is unlocked on the same spin. From the founders of SpinPlay Games and inspired by the glitz, the glam, and the games of Las Vegas, AreaVegas is an up-and-coming studio that is dedicated to giving players a premium gaming experience rooted in dynamic mechanics and design depth. Rebecca Caruana, Head of Sales at AreaVegas Games, said: “With Area Link™ Phoenix Firestorm , we wanted to go beyond a simple sequel. Our goal was to reimagine what made Area Link™ Phoenix so popular and build a feature set that could evolve alongside players’ expectations. “The introduction of six fireball types and multiple upgrade paths transforms every spin into something completely unexpected. The new Phoenix Firestorm feature makes the gameplay feel wild and unpredictable but still potentially rewarding.” Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “ Area Link™ Phoenix Firestorm is a testament to AreaVegas’ drive to innovate within their own universe. It builds brilliantly on what made the first game a hit, while integrating more strategic layers, richer animations, and mechanics that offer true replayability. “This release showcases the kind of premium, mechanic-led content that continues to elevate Games Global’s portfolio, and our performance metrics from the game’s exclusive release with our partners have proven that this game will be a standout title for players and operators alike.” Read related article: Games Global Partners with Oi Studios for Bold Debut

Political stability and integrated resorts are key to Sri Lanka’s ambitious tourism goals for 2025, aiming to boost arrivals, revenue, and global destination appeal. Sri Lanka is setting an ambitious target: to bring in $5 billion (₱290 billion) in tourism revenue by the end of 2025. Branded as the “Tourism Renaissance 2025”, this government-backed effort aims to attract 3 million visitors before the year ends. As of May 2025, over 900,000 international tourists have already visited the island. Top source markets include India, the United Kingdom, and China—a sign that Sri Lanka’s appeal is bouncing back strongly post-pandemic and post-crisis. One of the major drivers behind this growth is the government’s support for the casino and integrated resort sector. Projects like City of Dreams Sri Lanka, backed by Melco Resorts, are expected to generate as much as $250 million (₱14.5 billion) annually in gross gaming revenue once fully operational. Sri Lanka is also moving to issue up to 10 new casino licenses, supported by a new regulatory framework that aims to position the country as a compelling gaming alternative to Macau, Singapore, and Manila. This progress is built on a foundation of political stability. Following the 2022 economic crisis, Sri Lanka’s current leadership has focused on financial reforms and restoring investor confidence. This has helped attract fresh capital into tourism, infrastructure, and hospitality. The government is also simplifying visa processes, investing in airport and road upgrades, and promoting sustainable tourism practices to elevate visitor experience. With gaming, tourism, and infrastructure aligned, Sri Lanka may soon emerge as one of Asia’s most exciting destinations—not just for leisure travelers, but for global gaming investors as well.

Curious about Thailand's G-Token? Discover how this digital investment token opens access to government bonds and reshapes savings for everyday investors. The new government-backed digital token signals a shift toward financial innovation—with possible implications for future gaming regulations. Thailand’s Ministry of Finance is preparing to issue 5 billion baht (about USD $150 million or ₱8.7 billion) worth of digital investment tokens, dubbed G-Tokens, within the next two months. These tokens will allow retail investors to access government bond markets with as little as 100 baht (roughly ₱175), part of a broader push for financial inclusion. Unlike cryptocurrencies, G-Tokens are non-speculative and geared toward savings and investment. They offer potentially higher returns than regular bank deposits, which currently yield about 1.25% for 12-month fixed terms. The tokens cannot be used for payments and must be traded on regulated digital asset exchanges, where the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will oversee compliance, pricing, and risk disclosure. This policy shift reflects a broader trend in Thailand: a growing comfort with regulated, tech-driven sectors. While the G-Token is focused on government bonds, it shows the state is capable of rolling out digital financial tools—an important step as Thailand explores the possibility of legalizing integrated resorts and casinos. Many analysts believe the success of a controlled digital token could help lay the groundwork for future regulated entertainment sectors, including casino gaming. The infrastructure being built for G-Token—such as real-time monitoring, secure platforms, and investor protections—could also support cashless gaming, digital KYC systems, and fintech-based casino financing models. By embracing financial innovation with a focus on governance, Thailand is positioning itself as a future-ready economy—which is a key requirement if it wants to attract serious international investment in integrated resorts.
