9stacks Launches Pokerface With Gopal Datt: India’s First Poker Chat Show
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Pokerface with Gopal Datt is a first-of-its-kind poker chat show which celebrates the lives and stories of poker players. This first episode can be watched on the 9stacks YouTube Channel here. Episode 2 of the series was released on Friday, 17th May 2019, on the 9stacks YouTube channel. The episode that has Datt interview poker heavyweight Deepak Bothraand TVF Bachelors fame Badri Chavan, can be watched here.
The twist is that each episode features one actor/celebrity and one poker player, and gets both to spill the beans about their journey to fame and fortune. In a fun way, this draws parallels between the featured celebrities and poker players and celebrates the achievements of both guests.
The first episode of the show, hosted by Gopal Datt (the Internet’s very own funny man), features Amol Parashar, of TVF Tripling fame, and one of India’s top poker players Nishant Sharma. Last year Nishant won the highest ever prize money by an Indian poker player at the World Series of Poker Main Event in Las Vegas.
Nishant, along with fellow poker pro Vivek Rughani, was part of the 9stacks Team India at the World Series of Poker and they became the first two Indians to enter the top 100 in the prestigious WSOP Main Event. Read the article here.
In the episode, Nishant speaks candidly about achieving his poker dreams and how he became a ‘Hero’ for other players in the industry. Many players now come to him for advice on their gameplay and some even ask him for selfies. His ‘Bina Darre’ playing style has won many hearts.
Nishant is accompanied by the celebrated actor Amol Parashar, who is also an avid poker player himself. An IIT Delhi alumnus, Amol was always into acting and was very interested in theatre. Amol recalled how his poker skills helped him sniff out a bluff early in his career: “Once I was offered a film with big casts like Mr. Amitabh Bachhan, Naseeruddin Shah, Sharman Joshi. Since I was new in the industry, I was asked to attend the workshop for the same where I was asked to pay Rs. 15,000 as room rent. I couldnt help but smell a bluff there. I mean, after all, if they were such a big film company, they surely wouldn’t ask me to pay Rs. 15,000 to book a room to rehearse in, right?”
Many more revelations came in the rapid fire segment of the show where the answers were ‘rapid and full of fire’. Unlike Koffee with Karan, the guests here got a lot of love instead of hampers!

Spinomenal celebrates the holiday season with The North Star Express – Hold & Hit 3×3
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal is celebrating the holiday season by inviting players for a festive journey with The North Star Express – Hold & Hit 3×3.
Unfolding against a wintry backdrop, North Star Express arrives to present a fun, festive adventure as players race through snowy forests. Adding to the festivities is a feel-good soundtrack – a cheerful blend of seasonal notes and upbeat rhythms that keeps the mood uplifting.
An ornate golden pocket watch represents the Wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus and Bonus Collect. The North Star Express – Hold & Hit 3×3 features two Special Bonus symbols, the Bonus only lands on reels one and three, while the Bonus Collect lands only on reel two.
Players who unwrap the Bonus Collect along with one or more Bonus symbols, will launch the Bonus game. Symbols that triggered the feature remain in place during the move to the Bonus Game, which begins with three spins. During the feature, only Bonus symbols and Bonus Collect symbols can land on the reels. Each spin has the chance to award multipliers ranging from x1, x2, x5, x7, x10, and x15, as well as any of the in-game jackpots.
Every time a Bonus symbol hits, it is collected by all Bonus Collect symbols, disappearing from the reels while its value tops up the Bonus Collect symbol’s total. Each Bonus Symbol or Bonus Collect symbol returns the spin counter to three. The round finishes once three winless spins land or when the total collected winnings hit the maximum x5000 multiplier.
Grand, Major, Minor and Mini in-game Jackpot symbols have the chance to appear during the game and will launch the corresponding in-game Jackpot.
The Bonus Blast Feature can randomly activate, adding extra Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols to the reels to help trigger the Bonus Game.
A Bonus Collect symbol with one or more Bonus symbols, including in-game Jackpot symbols, that do not initiate the Bonus Game will collect the values and add to the total win.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “The North Star Express – Hold & Hit 3×3 arrives at the perfect time to deliver a fun, festive game for the holiday season. This new title brings joy and festive spirit in equal measure, giving players a ticket to ride the reels in search of jackpots and more.”

Just Slots Takes Centre Stage with New Circus-Themed Slot ‘Dynamo’s Show’
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Just Slots, the Malta-based iGaming software developer, has announced the exclusive launch of its newest title, Dynamo’s Show, available today on Gamdom and Stake. A full network release will follow on 11 December 2025. This vibrant new slot transforms the classic Hold & Collect experience into a full theatrical performance, inviting players into a colourful mechanical circus led by a charismatic robot ringmaster and his fearless hamster assistant.
Stepping inside the grand circus tent, players find themselves at the centre of an electrified show where numbers, movement and spectacle blend into one seamless performance. Dynamo’s Show combines nostalgic circus energy with a charming mechanical twist, creating a world filled with animation, personality and momentum. The robot ringmaster acts as the heart of the experience, reacting dynamically to anticipation moments, celebrating wins and guiding players through feature transitions with character and humour.
Building on Just Slots’ signature approach of evolving familiar mechanics into fresh, cinematic experiences, Dynamo’s Show expands the studio’s portfolio with a bold new direction. While its foundation is the classic Hold & Collect respin format, the game introduces a progression-based layer through its innovative Booster symbols. These Boosters charge meters between reels which, when filled, flip the mathematical operator from addition to multiplication. This shift dramatically elevates win potential and creates the kind of pivotal, high-drama turning points that resonate with streamers, bonus hunters and high-volatility players.
The climax of the bonus plays out in true theatrical fashion. Rather than revealing a total instantly, Dynamo’s Show performs the final calculation step by step, visually animating each operation to build tension and pace. This transparent, deliberately staged reveal was designed with streaming and shareable moments in mind, amplifying emotion as the sequence unfolds. With a max win of 25,000x, the game’s structure supports both explosive outcomes and consistently engaging feature pacing.
The artistic direction reinforces the showmanship at the core of the design. Bright colours, vintage circus motifs and polished character animation bring the world to life, while the mechanical elements and expressive ringmaster add personality and charm. The robot presenter physically embodies the game’s rhythm, stretching his mechanical neck to display remaining respins and reacting instantly to symbol drops, turning each spin into part of the unfolding performance.
Josué Agüero, Senior Game Producer at Just Slots, commented: “Dynamo’s Show began with the idea of creating a circus experience, but we wanted to add a unique twist. The robot presenter brings the world to life, guiding players through every stage of the feature and reacting dynamically to what happens on screen. It turns the gameplay into a real performance. We wanted players to feel like they’re part of a show, not just spinning reels, but watching a performance unfold.”
Dynamo’s Show continues Just Slots’ tradition of turning familiar mechanics into fresh new experiences. The title adds a bold, colourful theme to the studio’s portfolio, from the underwater intrigue of Fish Mafia to the mystical depths of Book of Lilith. The title will receive full post-launch support, including free spins, instant cash prizes and leaderboard events. A playable demo is available from today, inviting players to experience the spectacle first-hand.
