Wynn Resorts has launched a new exhibit, Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition, at Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace. Made with support from the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), the exhibit will be live until 13 October 2024 and will feature 30 rare, ultra-luxury vehicles with a value of HK$1.5bn (US$190m), with brands including Bugatti, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and McLaren, among others.

The exhibit, which is free and open to the public, gives visitors an up-close and rare glimpse into the pinnacle of automotive excellence. Many of these stunning hypercars are on display in Macao for the first time at this unprecedented Wynn Signature collection, making the exhibit a true testament to the “Only at Wynn” experience. The goal of this exhibition is to give visitors an opportunity to experience Wynn’s exclusive signature lifestyle offerings while using the “Tourism+” model to highlight the unique diversity of Macao as a “World Center for Tourism and Leisure”.

Ms. Linda Chen, President, Vice Chairman and Executive Director of Wynn Macau Limited said: “As a ‘Wynn Signature’ lifestyle experience, the ‘Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition’ presents an unprecedented level of technological craftsmanship, once-in-a-lifetime discoveries, and luxurious lifestyle experiences. ‘Wynn Signature’ is dedicated to strengthening and expanding Macao’s position as an international city. As one of the key members in the international hospitality industry, we are committed to showcasing Macao’s unique positioning to a global audience.”

Mr. Cheng Wai Tong, Acting Director of the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) said in his speech at the launch ceremony: “With MGTO striving to foster diversification of the ‘tourism +’ offerings, it is pleased to witness tourism operator’s continuing efforts to innovate. The development of tourism services and products targeting the needs of visitors of different profiles coming from diverse markets injects novel elements into Macao’s tourism experience, offering visitors a special and memorable travel experience. As a wide array of festive events approach in the second semester of this year’s double anniversary celebration, the tourism industry and related sectors are called to duly prepare to welcome visitors from around the world and showcase Macao’s wide array of tourism and cultural features, helping to solidify the city’s position as a world center of tourism and leisure.”

On display at the “Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition” is an exclusive collection of 30 luxurious hypercars from 10 of the world’s leading automotive brands. Wynn Palace has set a major exhibition area for the collection, with even more luxury vehicles on display across multiple locations throughout Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace. This year’s exhibition showcases the fastest and rarest of hypercars, including the track-focused Pagani Huayra R, known for its uncompromising performance; Koenigsegg Jesko Attack, which has a “Magic Wing” to create enormous downforce; the classic Ferrari Enzo Hypercar with a roaring V12 engine; the limited-edition Aston Martin V12 Speedster launched in celebration of Aston Martin’s 100th anniversary; and the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster – the most expensive car in Lamborghini history with just 9 vehicles worldwide. Also on display at the Wynn Palace East Entrance is a remarkable replica of a Formula 1 racing car made entirely of chocolate and fondant. A team of award-winning pastry chefs from the US, who have worked for Hollywood films and Disneyland art production, spent 360 hours to meticulously handcraft the chocolate sports car which spans 2.5 meters and weighs 100 kilograms. The incredible attention to detail in the creation of the chocolate model resembles that of the masterful craftsmanship of the real hypercars on display. Visitors can take photos alongside the 1.5-meter-long chocolate racing car on display at the Lakeside Trattoria at Wynn Macau.

Throughout the “Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition”, Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace are presenting a series of activities and exciting events to complement the exhibit including innovative racing-themed culinary surprises at signature restaurants, special promotional offers from designated retail stores at Wynn Palace, and a “Hyper Shop” pop-up store will be set up where racing enthusiasts may purchase a variety of limited-time only racing-themed products and immerse themselves in multi-sensory experiences.

From ‘Mummyverse’ to Crash Games: Belatra Reviews a Landmark 2025

Published

December 23, 2025

George Miller

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: Belatra has been a steady hand in the slots world for a long time, but 2025 marked a distinct shift in strategy. By entering the Crash vertical with Goose Boom Bang and winning big at SiGMA Africa, the studio is clearly pivoting to capture the high-growth, high-frequency players in emerging markets. They are no longer just a “classic slots” developer; they are diversifying the portfolio to ensure relevance in regions like LatAm and Africa.

The Full Story

Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has issued a strategic review of its 2025 operations, celebrating a 12-month period defined by entry into new game verticals, significant franchise expansion, and high-profile industry recognition.

The year was characterized by a dual strategy: deepening engagement in established markets while aggressively expanding its content portfolio to suit local preferences in emerging territories.

Portfolio Evolution: Crash and Battles 2025 saw Belatra move beyond its traditional slot roots. The company made its debut in the high-demand Crash game vertical with the launch of Goose Boom Bang, a title designed to tap into the fast-paced gameplay preference of younger demographics.

Additionally, the studio introduced a fresh game concept with the launch of Battles, a new format unveiled for the first time in 2025, with further development planned for 2026.

The ‘Mummyverse’ Expands For fans of classic slots, the highlight of the year was the aggressive expansion of the Mummyverse. Belatra nearly doubled the size of this franchise over the year, making it the most extensive game universe in their entire catalog.

The developer also focused on B2B localization, releasing a number of exclusive bespoke games created specifically for selected operator partners to meet specific local market tastes.

Awards and Recognition The company’s strategic shifts were validated by industry accolades. Belatra secured over 30 nominations throughout the year, with standout wins including:

Best Slot Provider (awarded by BitStarz).
Most Played Game of 2025 for Make It Gold at the SiGMA Africa Awards.
Player’s Pick Award.

Management Commentary Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, commented on the studio’s momentum:

“This year has truly defined who we are as a studio – ambitious, creative and focused on building long-term partnerships. We’ve expanded our universes, launched new ones and entered exciting new markets that will all help us carry this momentum into the New Year.”

‘Chaos and Soul’: Ebaka Games Plots Global Expansion After Viral Launch

Published

George Miller

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: The “Instant Game” vertical (Crash, Plinko, Mines) is becoming crowded, but Ebaka Games is cutting through the noise with a distinct brand personality. By securing BMM Testlabs certification so quickly after launch, they are signaling to Tier 1 operators that despite their “chaotic” marketing vibe, the math underneath is solid and compliant. The backing of industry veteran Dmitry Belianin also adds immediate commercial credibility to the startup.

The Full Story

Ebaka Games, the fledgling studio that promises to bring “chaos and soul” to the iGaming sector, has outlined an aggressive growth strategy for 2026 following a landmark launch period in late 2025.

The studio, which officially debuted in November, reports that its initial rollout reached more than five million people worldwide. The launch saw its portfolio go live with the operator Menace, serving as the initial testbed for its mechanics and “Ebaka modes.”

The Product: Instant Games with Personality Ebaka is bypassing traditional slots to focus on the high-growth vertical of fast-paced, instant-win games. Their initial lineup includes:

Plinko
Mines
Tower
Limbo
Crash

Differentiation is achieved through unique mascots and signature gameplay tweaks designed to offer high win potential and distinct visual identities, moving away from the generic interfaces often found in this genre.

Regulatory Milestone Crucially for its 2026 roadmap, Ebaka Games has confirmed it has secured certification from BMM Testlabs. This accreditation validates the fairness and integrity of its RNG (Random Number Generator) and game engines, removing a major barrier to entry for regulated markets. With this certification in hand, the studio plans to launch with a number of “major brands” in the coming year.

Management Commentary Vitalii Zalievskyi, CEO of Ebaka Games, commented on the studio’s unorthodox approach:

“It’s only been a few weeks since we first introduced Ebaka Games to the world. The feedback has been breathtaking, and it vindicates the decision for us to take a different path to the rest of the industry. You don’t need huge marketing budgets to grab people’s attention if you are building something truly innovative.”

Industry Backing The studio describes itself as being “created by players for players” but boasts significant industry firepower in its corner. The team includes Dmitry Belianin, a well-known figure in the sector who is the co-founder of Blask and Menace, as well as Managing Partner at Already Media.

Racing Meets Nightlife: SBK Backs ARC’s New ‘Friday Night Live’ Series

Published

George Miller

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: British racing has a well-documented demographic problem; its core audience is aging. “Friday Night Live” is a direct attempt to fix this by blending high-stakes racing with the “experience economy” (DJs, nightlife vibes) that appeals to Gen Z and Millennials. Bringing SBK on board—a mobile-first, app-only sportsbook—is a perfect demographic fit, while the Racing Post adds the necessary credibility to ensure the actual racing product remains the focus.

The Full Story

Arena Racing Company (ARC) has unveiled the strategic commercial lineup for its upcoming Friday Night Live series, confirming SBK as the Exclusive Betting Partner and The Racing Post as the Official Media Partner.

Set to launch in January 2026, Friday Night Live is a new initiative created in collaboration with youth-focused events company INVADES. The series is designed to overhaul the traditional race day experience, featuring fast-paced fixtures under floodlights, DJ sets, and significant entertainment elements sandwiched between races.

The Commercial Deal

SBK: As the exclusive betting partner, the Smarkets-owned sportsbook will take naming rights and on-course branding for all 35 races. Crucially, these races will be broadcast live on mainstream television via ITV Racing as well as Sky Sports Research.
The Racing Post: As the Official Media Partner, the publication will provide content, coverage, and promotion across its digital platforms, aiming to bridge the gap between established racing purists and the new audience ARC hopes to attract.

A High-Stakes Experiment The series is not just a marketing exercise; it carries serious sporting weight. Each of the five scheduled nights will feature over £200,000 in prize money. The fixtures will rotate across three of ARC’s all-weather tracks: Wolverhampton, Newcastle, and Southwell.

Management Commentary David Leyden Dunbar, Group Director of Commercial Strategy at ARC, was clear about the target audience:

“We have been very clear that one of the aims of Friday Night Live is to engage the next generation of racing fans… Both [partners] have shown real enthusiasm to work with us… as well as using the platform that these fixtures will offer them to also engage with more established racing and sports fans.”

Adam Baylis, Marketing Director at SBK, added:

“Friday Night Live [is] a fresh and engaging concept that brings a new energy to British racing. SBK has always been built around sport… our focus is on enhancing the live race day experience in a fun, social and responsible way.”

The 2026 Schedule The series kicks off immediately in the new year:
