Prost! Kalamba Games brews up another winner with Cashpot Kegs
Kalamba Games has launched its latest slot – a homage to enjoying a beer with friends in Cashpot Kegs.
Featuring a distinctly Germanic theme, the game’s symbols include bratwurst, accordions, giant pretzels and, of course, copious amounts of frosty steins!
Cashpot Kegs is home to nine levels of Cashpots, a returning player favourite feature, which can award instant cash prizes. Additionally, the player-favourite HyperBet mechanic allows players to maximise win potential and personalise the bonus round by choosing the starting number of free spins on offer, and the wild multiplier value attached to these, from 1x, 2x, 3x and 10x. HyperBonus, which allows the player to buy the bonus feature immediately with varying starting free spins and wild multipliers is also included.
Kalamba’s increasing use of intuitive and entertaining gameplay functions is set to continue as it builds up to its first Megaways™ release in August following its successful licence award of the now-iconic Big Time Gaming mechanic.
Alex Cohen, COO and Co-Founder at Kalamba Games, said: “Integrating the untapped potential of a beer theme with the engaging features players have come to expect from our releases means that Cashpot Kegs will be loved by both new and existing Kalamba enthusiasts.”
“The ability to personalise the bonus round to fit individual play styles will appeal to a wide demographic of players and make a great addition to operators’ games lobbies.”

1/ST and Goodwood Racecourse stage a new round of Group 1 pathways between the UK and North America

A notable pair of Group 1 turf stakes at Goodwood Racecourse in England this week will earn the winners an automatic berth on the 2026 Pegasus World Cup Day program January 24 at Gulfstream Park.
The one-mile Visit Qatar Sussex Stakes for three-year-olds and up on Wednesday July 30 will serve as a qualifier for the $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational (G1), while the 1 1/4-mile Visit Qatar Nassau Stakes for fillies and mares of three years and older on Thursday July 31 will also act as a qualifier for the $500,000 Pegasus Filly & Mare Turf Invitational (G2).
Held in late January on a card headlined by the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) for older horses on dirt, the Pegasus Turf is contested over 1 1/8 miles, whereas the Pegasus Filly & Mare Turf is run at 1 1/16 miles.
Among the contenders for the Sussex is millionaire five-year-old Carl Spackler, winner of eight of 12 races in the U.S. including three Grade 1 stakes before being sold privately to China’s Yulong Investments to race overseas. Carl Spackler made his first two career starts at Gulfstream, the second a maiden triumph in February 2023. He was sixth in the June 17 Queen Anne Stakes (G1) in his European debut. He now takes on the best of the British and Irish in a clash of the generations, headed by leading three-year-old miler, Field Of Gold, and last year’s Irish Guineas (G1) victor, Rosallion.
The Nassau has also drawn a competitive field, spearheaded by Aidan O’Brien’s Whirl, winner of the recent Pretty Polly Stakes (G1), and See The Fire, third in a white-hot Prince of Wales’s Stakes (G1) at Royal Ascot.
European-based horses have made their mark in the Pegasus Turf since its debut in 2019. Magic Wand ran second in both 2019 and 2020 before Warm Heart captured the 2024 edition in a track-record time of 1:44.45 in the finale of her esteemed career. Both Irish-bred mares were trained by the aforementioned O’Brien.
This partnership creates an easily accessible pathway for horses to compete both in North America and the United Kingdom, and helps to encourage top-tier racehorses to travel and increase international participation at both fixtures – while also bolstering elite fields for global audiences and deeper fan engagement.
Aidan Butler, President of 1/ST, said: “Thanks again to our friends at Goodwood Racecourse, with our ongoing partnership now in its second year. We look forward to welcoming the victors of the Sussex Stakes and Nassau Stakes back to Gulfstream Park in late January 2026 for one of the most lucrative racedays on the East Coast.
“These reciprocal pathways mark the latest strides in 1/ST’s bid to broaden the appeal and international participation in the world’s major races. We’ve already seen such incentives reap immediate rewards when Crimson Advocate won at Royal Ascot in 2023, having punched her automatic spot via our Royal Palm juvenile series at Gulfstream Park. Now, Miami can hopefully work its magic again with the Qatar Goodwood Festival! I look forward to seeing the stellar action unfold in person on the South Downs this week.”
Wednesday, July 30: Qatar Sussex Stakes – Pegasus World Cup Turf
Race 4: 10:05 (ET); 15:05 (BST)
The winner of the Visit Qatar Sussex Stakes (G1) receives an automatic invitation into the Pegasus World Cup Turf (G1) on January 24, 2026, at Gulfstream Park plus a $25,000 travel allowance and VIP hospitality for the winning connections.
Thursday, July 31: Qatar Nassau Stakes – Pegasus World Cup Filly $ Mare Turf
