Developer powerhouse has Mines, Hi-Lo and Goal titles certified by Gaming Associates for launch in fast-growing regulated markets

SPRIBE, the award-winning developer of next-gen online casino content, has significantly increased the distribution of its games in core European markets after receiving certification from the renowned testing house, Gaming Associates.

The certification allows SPRIBE to launch its Mines, Hi-Lo and Goal titles in Romania and Italy. The approval to go live in Romania is also recognised by the Malta Gaming Authority, which means SPRIBE can roll-out these titles in all Malta jurisdictions as well.

SPRIBE is the developer behind the world’s number one crash game, Aviator, but it also has a portfolio of Turbo Games packed full of engaging and entertaining titles that have proved to be a big hit with players.

Mines takes the popular minesweeper format with players having to reveal as many stars as possible without hitting a mine. The more stars they collect, the bigger the win. Players can cash out after each successful play if they wish.

Hi-Lo is a quick wagering game where the player has to guess if the next card will be higher or lower than the current card. But SPRIBE has added an extra layer of fun – the player must then choose the next three cards and if they get that right, their win gets boosted, and the game carries on. Again, they can cash out after any win.

Goal sees the player go from one end of the field to the other and score a goal.  They do this by clearing lines but in each line, there is a bomb – if they land on the bomb, it’s game over but if they can clear the field and score a goal, they win the biggest prize.

All of SPRIBE’s games are super light so play incredibly well on mobile and also offer a chat function where players can interact. This combination has seen them hit the market with the lucrative but hard-to-reach Millennial and Generation Z demographics.

Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, said: “SPRIBE is known for Aviator, but we also have a portfolio of Turbo Games that are just as fun to play. Having secured approval from Gaming Associates, we can now launch these titles with our operator partners in Romania and Italy, as well as all Malta markets.

“This will allow our partners to stand out from their rivals through next-generation content that appeals to an important but hard to engage audience. Ultimately, our games offer superior levels of entertainment, and we can’t wait to see players in Romania and Italy experience, Mines, Hi-Lo and Goal for the first time.”

MGCB Targets 11 Illegal Online Casinos Operating Without Licenses

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has issued cease-and-desist orders to 11 illegal online gambling operators found to be targeting Michigan residents without proper state authorization. These unlicensed casinos—some based offshore, others operating from undisclosed or domestic locations—pose serious risks to consumers by skirting Michigan’s regulated gaming laws.

The casinos named in the enforcement action include the following:

Club Player Casino

7 Bets Casino

NinBet Casino

Cherry Jackpot Casino

PitBet

SlotsNBets

Bookmaker.eu

Wild Vegas Casino

VIP Slots Casino

Prism Casino

ABC Islands Casino

“These sites are operating illegally and without proper oversight, putting Michigan players at risk. We’re committed to shutting down unlicensed gambling operations and protecting the public from deceptive practices, unfair play, and financial harm,” said Henry Williams, Executive Director of the Michigan Gaming Control Board.

The named operators have been found to accept wagers from Michigan residents via a range of payment methods—including credit cards, digital wallets, and cryptocurrencies. Players may be subjected to questionable practices, such as the withholding of winnings, unrealistic wagering requirements, and denial of withdrawals.

In addition to financial concerns, these illegal operators are not required to follow the same rigorous data protection standards that are mandated in Michigan’s regulated market. As a result, players’ personal and financial information may be highly vulnerable when shared with these unlicensed platforms, increasing the risk of data breaches, identity theft, and other cybercrimes.

The MGCB has formally notified all 11 operators to immediately stop offering gambling services to Michigan residents. They have been given 14 days to comply. Continued violations may result in further enforcement, including collaboration with the Michigan Attorney General’s Office to pursue legal action.

“This should serve as a strong warning to illegal operators: Michigan does not tolerate unauthorized gambling activity. We will continue our relentless pursuit of actively identifying and disrupting these operations,” Williams said.

“We want every patron in Michigan to have access to a fair and secure gambling experience. By eliminating illegal operators, we’re helping ensure the public can enjoy gaming without fear of fraud or abuse,” Williams added.
