After the success of Flash Gordon and Mr. Magnificent, MGA Games, the expert developer in localised product for global operators, has chosen the legendary comic book character to create Popeye, cazatesoros. The husky character first appeared in a comic strip in January 1929, but its popularity was such that it was quickly adapted to film. Its trajectory includes up to five television series and a movie that has become a cult film. Nowadays, and in better shape than ever, the mythical strongman continues to flex muscle and has transformed into a Spanish slot game, together with his girlfriend Olivia and the villain Brutus.
Spearhead Studios announces the launch of Lara Jones is Cleopatra, new high volatility, innovative title, which sets its action inside the tomb of the famous Egyptian Queen.

It is available in a wide range of currencies and languages and is certified for all major jurisdictions.
Lightning Box has embraced the elements with its brilliant new game Blown Away. The latest addition to the Sydney-based company’s portfolio is set aboard a fishing ship which has been thrown off course. The scurvy crew, led by the walrus, are trying to whip up several big wins in order to get them back on track. Excitement builds when a tornado lands on the last reel. With a gust of wind, the lowest Royal symbol is removed and another re-spin awarded. Blown Away, complete with maritime music, went live exclusively with Sky Vegas for two weeks on March 31, before general release on April 15.

Norway currently enforces a strict ban on all online betting run by anyone other than monopoly operator Norsk Tipping. Yet, despite its latest efforts to keep unlicensed operators out, there are still other options available for Norwegians as it isn’t stopping the people from playing at foreign licensed operators should they choose to.
The policy of making Norsk Tipping the sole licensed operator while keeping foreign betting companies off the Norwegian market has been a favoured approach by shifting governments in the country over several decades.
For the most part, this has been uncontested by the general population. The services offered by Norsk Tipping have typically been satisfactory for most players and with Norsk Tipping’s obligation to return its profit to society, this has been accepted by many as a fair compromise.
The motivation behind this policy is often said to be a desire to protect players by controlling which types of gambling services are made available. Allocating money from the gambling industry to organisations working towards the greater good of society is also seen as important.
However, with international betting companies entering the Norwegian market by offering their services online, this strategy is proving increasingly hard to keep up. Several measures have been taken in the last couple of years to ensure that unlicensed operators stay out of the Norwegian market, for example by blocking transactions to gambling sites. Despite being met with criticism, Lottstift shows no signs of giving in to the external pressure.
The shift to online complicates matters
Competition among online betting companies is fierce, and considering how difficult it is for one country to legislate online activity without resorting to means more often seen in countries of a far less democratic nature, the challenges faced by Norsk Tipping are getting bigger.
In addition, as regulation fails to keep international online actors out, many argue that today’s situation in Norway is, in reality, a free-for-all system where companies required to follow strict regulations in most neighbouring countries are given a free pass to target Norwegian players.
A quick look at the Norwegian comparison site Oddsbonuser.nu tells us that a lot of operators are interested in the country and some of these would welcome regulation.
For example, Kindred Group and Betsson Group – both members of Norsk bransjeforening for onlinespill (NBO). As can be read on their website, “NBO will promote the introduction of a responsible and sustainable licensing regulation of the Norwegian online gambling market”.
Even though regulation is very unlikely at this point, it’s hard not to fall into the pit of ‘what if’. Close at hand is the situation in Sweden, which regulated the gambling market in 2019.
Sweden had previously followed a similar path, before abandoning its monopoly. Betting companies can now – by obtaining a licence – operate and advertise on the Swedish market, given that they follow regulations set by Swedish authorities, including paying Swedish taxes.
This naturally means tougher competition for state-owned former monopolist Svenska Spel, but also that politicians now can regulate and limit how betting companies can operate, for example when it comes to promotions and bonuses. But even so, recent proposals of further tightening the regulation in Sweden have caused waves amongst the licensed operators in the country.
The operators and Spelinspektionen, the Swedish Gambling Authority, are worried that this might cause players to move away from licensed operators and that the black market will grow even bigger – making it worse than pre-regulation in the country. With this in mind, Lottstift is likely even more certain that their strategy is better left unchanged.

Here are this weeks latest slots releases!
The latest Play’n GO release hit the market this week, a 3-reel video slot titled Charlie Chance in Hell to Pay. The game features a new character, Charlie Chance, as he lands himself in hot water and tries to outwit the devil herself to win his fortune. The unique and the retro style of the game are inspired by the works of animators such as Max Fleischer who pioneered the modern age of animation with classic characters like Betty Boop and Popeye. The choice of traditional fruit machine symbols on the grid also add to the timeless feel of this gridslot. This game is unlike anything we have previously seen from the slot supplier; it seems like, once again, they have broken their mould to deliver original, innovative content.
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has turned up the heat with its latest release Hot to Burn. The title takes the fast and fun gameplay of the traditional fruit machine staple and adds a fiery element with players being able to win up to 1,000x their stake. The 3×5 title offers a classic slot experience as players try to land all five flaming 7 symbols on the reels at the same time to win big.
Blueprint Gaming is rumbling into action with the launch of its latest slot Rhino Rampage, the first to incorporate the developer’s new Lightning Spins
bonus concept. Blueprint’s brand-new feature is activated when six or more Lightning Spin Scatter symbols land on the reels, where players are given a minimum of three free spins to win cash prizes, as well claim one of the four in-game progressive jackpots.
iSoftBet, the leading online and mobile casino content provider, has launched its latest MegawaysTM slot title, Dragon Match MegawaysTM. Set in the heart of a sacred Chinese temple, this four-reel game offers players up to 3,136 ways to win and features cascading wins, with players looking to join two golden dragon symbols on the top tracker reel to form a complete dragon and trigger Free Spins. Dragon Match MegawaysTM also features iSoftBet’s unique symbol matching mechanic, where if the two symbols in the top tracker reel are the same, they turn into wilds, as do all matching symbols on the two reels directly below.
Yggdrasil, the innovative online gaming solutions provider, has travelled back to medieval times in its latest smash hit slot, Arthur’s Fortune. The 5×3 video slot contains a host of features for players to feast on as they join King Arthur and his legendary Knights of the Round Table in a quest for riches. The free spins mode is triggered if three or more Scatter symbols land simultaneously, with higher rewards for more symbols. During the bountiful bonus round, players are transported inside the castle where a wheel of fortune transforms a random symbol into wilds, leading to potentially huge wins, with more symbols transforming if more scatters hit the reels.
NetEnt has transformed one of the best-selling arcade games of all time for online slot fans with the release of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior Slot
, featuring a cast of eight original characters ready for combat. In a new spin on the classic video game from Capcom
, the new 5-reel, 5-row Cluster Pays video slot emulates the battle mechanics of the original title by pitting the player’s chosen character against opponents and letting the reels decide which fighter is victorious.
Casino content developer WeAreCasino has launched its new slot game Classic Cherries. The game was co-produced by Silver Lining Studios, one of the industry’s leading game development companies. This is the first game developed with WeAreCasino’s brand new Slotbuilder engine. Based on a cult classic theme, Classic Cherries gives the iconic fruits, bells, bars, and sevens, a modern makeover and innovates the retro game’s playstyle. This five-reel, nine-line slot exhibits brand new game features such as winning lines that start from the left or rightmost reel, multiple bonus game levels and mobile gaming enhancements.
Betsoft Gaming has released its latest slot QUEST TO THE WEST, which will take players East to West in search of untold wealth. The new slot features 5 reels and 25 paylines, delivering thrilling gameplay and stunning visuals. This game includes Walking Wilds, Respins, Instant Wins and up to 1260x your bet. Monkey King Walking Wilds will substitute for every symbol – grab three to enter the Free Spin round. Trigger the Quest to the West with three Monkey King Wilds. Each re-spin moves the Monkey King symbol one reel left. The spins will end when all the Monkey King symbols have gone, potentially stacking immense wins. Collect 15 or more Monkey King Symbols and fill up the Meter of the Heavens for an Instant Win of 1000x.
