PG Soft unleashes Knockout Riches title
PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has unleashed its latest big-hitting title, Knockout Riches. The new addition is a 5-reel (1 to 3 rows in reel 1 and 5, 4 to 20 rows in reels 2, 3 and 4) slot that delivers an action-packed slot experience with grit, determination, and big rewards.
Ruby, known as the ‘Flaming Rose’, steps into the ring as a rising star in the boxing world whose fists must do the talking. Players join her corner for a game all about girl power and life-changing triumphs. Stacked symbols offer an opportunity for punchy returns and a heavy, pulsating soundtrack brings the contest on the reels to life.
During any spin with three or more rounds, the Stacking Symbols Feature is triggered. At the end of the third round, the values above reels 2, 3 and 4 will be set to 1. After the fourth round, any winning symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 will increase the respective reel’s value by an amount equal to the number of winning symbols on that reel. After the final spin, reels 1 and 5 will be transformed into a single randomly chosen symbol (excluding Wild symbol and Scatter symbol), and reel 2, 3 and 4 will be filled with a stacked amount of the chosen symbols equal to the value above the reels before wins are paid.
Landing two Scatter symbols triggers 5 Free Spins, where winning symbols on reels 2, 3, and/or 4 will increase the respective reel’s value by the amount equal to the amount of winning symbols on the reel. At the end of the Free Spins Feature, both reel 1 and 5 will be transformed into a single randomly chosen symbol (excluding Wild symbol and Scatter symbol), and reel 2, 3 and 4 will be filled with a stacked amount of the chosen symbols equal to the value above the reels before wins are paid.
Each spin fuels the adrenaline, as Ruby’s staying power is pushed to the max. PG Soft’s smart stacking system lifts the excitement and offers a chance for massive payouts, creating an exhilarating gaming experience that keeps players on the edge of their seats.
PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Knockout Riches is an action-packed title that captures boxing’s spirit, and we expect it to be a heavyweight title in our portfolio. Each spin fuels the adrenaline, as Ruby’s staying power is pushed to the max in her push for glory on the reels.”

AGA Research Reveals Consumers Know Sweepstakes Casinos are Gambling

As gaming regulators, state Attorneys General, and state legislatures continue to scrutinize the business practices of online “sweepstakes” casinos, new research shows that consumers overwhelmingly use these platforms to gamble – and that sweepstakes operators are heavily targeting players in key states. By exploiting loopholes in the law, these operations undermine the integrity of the legal, regulated gaming marketplace.
According to Sensor Tower data compiled by the American Gaming Association (AGA), half of all online, real-money casino advertisements seen by consumers in early 2025 promoted offshore “sweepstakes” casinos. The data shows these unregulated operators concentrate their advertising in populous states.
“These operators present themselves like legal, regulated platforms – but they operate outside the law and regulation. There are few if any responsible gaming tools, no regulatory oversight, and no consumer protections. It’s a dangerous subterfuge that puts players at real risk,” said AGA Vice President of Government Relations, Tres York.
Despite operating outside the regulated gaming market, “sweepstakes” casinos are widely perceived by players as gambling platforms, with 68% of users saying their primary reason for playing is to win real money. This confusion is no accident – many of these sites mimic the look, feel, and language of legal operators, blurring the line for consumers and reinforcing the need for clearer enforcement and public education.
Key findings include:
• 90% of sweepstakes casino users consider the activity to be gambling.
• 69% describe sweepstakes casinos as places to wager real money.
• 80% of sweepstakes players spend monthly, and nearly half spend weekly, without the safety nets offered by regulated operators.
The number of monthly sweepstakes casino players is twice as high in states lacking sweepstakes prohibitions.
“Sweepstakes” casinos aggressively market on popular digital platforms throughout the country. Legal, regulated gaming operators, by contrast, advertise responsibly in legal states where consumer protections and regulatory oversight are in place.
“The data is clear. Consumers see right through the ‘sweepstakes’ casino facade and they’re calling it what it is: gambling. We look forward to policymakers continuing to enforce their laws and create clarity through new policy measures to protect their residents,” added York.

MGCB Issues Cease-and-Desist Orders to Six Illegal Gambling Sites Targeting Michigan Players

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has issued cease-and-desist letters to six unlicensed online gambling platforms attempting to target Michigan residents without state authorization. The action underscores the MGCB’s relentless, ongoing efforts to shut down illegal gambling operations and protect Michigan consumers from financial risk, identity theft, and unfair play.
The targeted sites—Crypto Slots, NitroBetting, NewVegas, Las Vegas USA Casino, Grand Rush Casino, and Slotgard Casino—were found to be operating in violation of Michigan laws that require licensure for internet gaming and sports betting.
“These sites were attempting to exploit Michigan players while operating outside the law. We take this seriously. When unauthorized operators offer games without regulation, Michigan players are left exposed—and we will not tolerate it,” said Henry Williams, MGCB Executive Director.
This enforcement action is part of the MGCB’s larger crackdown on illegal online gambling platforms. In recent months, the agency has issued numerous cease-and-desist letters, with additional investigations currently underway.
The MGCB continues to monitor online gaming activity and urges the public to be cautious when engaging with gambling content on social media or through digital advertisements.
