Vantage Goldfields Corrects Misleading Announcement by Lions Bay Capital Inc. (LBI) ACN Newswire

Vantage Goldfields Corrects Misleading Announcement by Lions Bay Capital Inc. (LBI)

2026-03-27
SYDNEY, AU, Mar 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Vantage Goldfields Limited (Vantage Goldfields) owns Vantage Goldfields Pty Ltd (VGL), Barbrook Mines Pty Ltd (Barbrook) and Makonjwaan Imperial Mining Company (Pty) Ltd (MIMCO) (collectively the Vantage Companies), which own the Lily and Barbrook mines in South Africa. The Vantage Companies are currently in business rescue in South Africa, which is the legal process that assists financially distressed companies restructure, or otherwise avoid liquidation.An announcement was made on 26 March 2026 by TSX-V listed Lions Bay Capital Inc. (Lions Bay), which the Vantage Companies believe is misleading to investors and fails to disclose material information (the Announcement). That Announcement referred to Lions Bay receiving approval from a business rescue practitioner (BRP) of the Vantage Companies and calling a meeting of creditors to approve business rescue plans for the Vantage Companies.The Announcement is misleading and fails to disclose relevant material information regarding the Vantage Companies and Lions Bay proposal, including:While the Announcement referred to a Business Rescue Practitioner (BRP) (being Mr Devereux) approving the Lions Bay proposal, it failed to disclose that the Vantage Companies have two appointed BRPs and the second BRP has not approved the Lions Bay's proposal. Both BRPs have to approve a proposal in order for it to be presented to creditors. The second BRP was appointed by the Boards of the Vantage Companies, and his appointment was confirmed by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC), the corporate regulator in South Africa.The second BRP was appointed to ensure that all viable proposals for the rescue of the Vantage Companies are properly considered and that a business rescue is then properly and lawfully implemented for the benefit of all stakeholders, including creditors, former employees and the local community, as soon as possible.Vantage Goldfields as the owner of the Vantage Companies and Lily and Barbrook mines, has received a number of viable proposals for the rescue of the Vantage Companies and the reopening of those mines, which should be properly considered by the BRPs. These proposals should result in a better outcome for creditors and other stakeholders of the Vantage Companies than the Lions Bay proposal.Mr. Devereux acted unilaterally and unlawfully in purporting to approve an offer from Lions Bay and convene a meeting of creditors of the Vantage Companies. Vantage Goldfields believes that Mr. Devereux misled such creditors by failing to disclose that Lions Bay does not have the necessary US$40 million in funds to be able to complete its proposal.The Announcement failed to disclose that for the Lions Bay proposal to be able to be implemented, an approval from a BRP is not legally sufficient to be able to implement that proposal, and that proposal would need to be approved by specified majorities of creditors of each of the Vantage Companies. Vantage Goldfields has been informed by the largest secured creditor of the Vantage Companies that it does not support and will not vote in favour of the Lions Bay proposal at the necessary meetings of creditors, on its current terms and given that Lions Bay does not have all the necessary funds to complete the proposal. That creditor also has not agreed to release its securities over the asset of the Vantage Companies.Therefore, the necessary approvals of creditors will not be obtained, and the Lions Bay proposal will not be able to be implemented as currently proposed.Vantage Goldfields intends to ensure that all viable proposals are properly considered for the business rescue of the Vantage Companies, and that the business rescue process is progressed and implemented properly in accordance with South African law. Vantage Goldfields remains fully committed to reopening the Lily and Barbrook mines for the benefit of all creditors, former employees, affected persons and other stakeholders of the Vantage Companies.Stephen TurnerChairman-Vantage Goldfieldsst@stephenturner.com.auThis press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements about our future operations, plans, objectives, expectations, estimates, forecasts, or projections.

歐盟朝創建海外移民「返還中心」邁進 News

歐盟朝創建海外移民「返還中心」邁進

2026-03-27
(SeaPRwire) - 批評者抨擊該倡議，稱這些設施為「法律黑洞」中的拘留中心 歐洲議員們已批准與歐盟理事會就一項新的、有爭議的法律框架展開談判，該框架旨在建立區塊鏈機制以驅逐非法移民，包括在第三國設立所謂的「遣返中心」。 將歐盟邊境以外的實際拘留設施用於收容被認為無權留在該集團內的移民的想法，一直遭到權利組織和親移民政治勢力的反對。根據仍處於立法程序早期階段的擬議《遣返條例》，將被歐盟遣返的人將被送往海外的「遣返中心」，而不是留在集團內等待驅逐。批評者堅持認為，該計劃旨在將非法移民和庇護申請失敗者消失在「法律黑洞」中。 該擬議改革於周四進行了全體投票，此前三個左翼政治集團，即社會民主黨（S&D）、綠黨/歐洲自由聯盟（Greens/EFA）和左翼黨（The Left），已分別提出請求。這些集團試圖挑戰本月早些時候公民自由委員會的一項決定，當時該委員會批准了進入機構間談判的擬議立法。該嘗試失敗了，389 名歐洲議會議員投票贊成繼續推進該提案的立法程序的下一階段，206 人投票反對，32 人棄權。 投票結果遭到多個人權組織的強烈譴責，這些組織指責右翼和反移民政黨推動了一項據稱考慮不周的倡議。 例如，國際特赦組織歐洲機構主任 Eve Geddie 表示，該擬議改革沒有得到「充分審查或有意義的人權評估」。 她在一份聲明中說：「這標誌著一種日益增長的趨勢，即採取越來越有害、排斥性和嚴厲的移民政策，對正當程序和基於證據的政策制定產生令人擔憂的影響。這些提案遠非減少非法移民，反而可能使更多人陷入困境。」 《遣返條例》於去年 3 月提出，旨在取代 2008 年的《遣返指令》，該指令優先考慮非法移民和庇護申請失敗者的「自願遣返」。2025 年 12 月，19 個歐盟成員國敦促歐洲委員會幫助資助歐盟以外的「遣返中心」，稱其為解決困擾該集團十多年的移民湧入問題的「創新解決方案」。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

是糟粕之首？Sora的下滑可能引发人工智能雪崩 News

是糟粕之首？Sora的下滑可能引发人工智能雪崩

2026-03-27
(SeaPRwire) - OpenAI 曾寄望於該影片生成平台來賺錢。該平台的失勢可能預示著更多麻煩。 OpenAI 已意外關閉其生成式 AI 影片模型 Sora。儘管最初廣受歡迎，但該技術卻飽受爭議和版權問題的困擾，並且證明成本過高。 對 OpenAI 來說，一項重大打擊是，一項允許 Sora 用戶生成包含迪士尼角色的 AI 影片的 10 億美元（截至 2025 年 12 月）交易，在 Sora 被拋棄的同時被取消了。 該公司沒有說明關閉 Sora 的原因，儘管分析師指出經濟狀況不佳。隨著 AI 正經歷看似泡沫的時期，許多人想知道 Sora 的垮台是否會是終結的開始，尤其是在針對伊朗的戰爭壓力影響供應鏈並推高能源成本的情況下。 Sora 是什麼？ Sora 是由 OpenAI 開發的一款由 AI 驅動的文字轉影片平台，能夠根據文字提示生成電影級別的高清影片。該平台於 2024 年首次亮相，並於 2025 年 9 月作為獨立應用程式推出，迅速登上 Apple 美國 App Store 的榜首。 其生成的片段在所有客觀標準下都令人驚嘆。此外，在大多數 AI 影片工具只能生成四秒鐘且難以維持的片段時，Sora 能夠生成長達 60 秒的視覺連貫的畫面。 該應用程式透過一項名為「客串」的功能，允許將真人插入 AI 生成的影片中。然而，這項功能從一開始就引發了爭議。除了規避或公然侵犯版權法外，許多用戶還利用該工具創建荒謬且在許多情況下令人反感的影片。例如，一段影片展示了阿道夫·希特勒與麥可·傑克森爭論誰創造了月球漫步。 Sora（尤其是新款且改進的 Sora 2）的出現，讓好萊塢及其周邊的創意產業陷入恐慌。突然之間，只需按一下按鈕，就可以召喚出完整的表演，而無需支付費用，甚至無需提及相關人員。然而，最終，這類內容雖然受到許多用戶的歡迎，但在尋找可行的經濟利基方面卻步履維艱，許多分析師認為，一旦新奇感消退，就沒有多少動力能夠維持下去。 一家名為 404 Media 的媒體尖銳批評道：「Sora 和迪士尼與垃圾 AI 的合作的徹底失敗表明，AI 垃圾確實不是好萊塢的未來。迪士尼甚至沒有達到讓用戶能夠使用迪士尼角色進行創作的地步，就已經終止了整個項目及其投資。」 分析師認為 Sora 被淘汰的真正原因是什麼？ 此決定似乎是由財務考量驅動的，因為 OpenAI 正在尋求精簡營運，為今年可能進行的首次公開募股做準備。 該平台成本極高。去年 11 月，一位分析師估計，生成一個十秒鐘的影片需要花費 OpenAI 1.30 美元。根據他估計 Sora 每天生產 1130 萬個影片，該分析師表示這將使公司每天花費約 1500 萬美元。 僅僅在幾週前，Sora 的負責人 Bill Peebles 承認該平台的經濟效益「完全不可持續」。 據 Business Insider 報導，還有另一個問題，這個問題正在成為整個 AI 產業的棘手限制：運算能力。影片生成是目前使用中最耗能的 AI 形式。 「鑑於整個產業對更多運算能力的瘋狂尋求，OpenAI 正在優先考慮其最大的增長引擎——ChatGPT，」Navica 的 CEO Bernard Golden 表示。 隨著對 AI 運算需求的激增，供應卻跟不上，尤其是在新建數據中心變得越來越困難的情況下，因為當地反對聲音越來越大、電網容量不足以及記憶體晶片等關鍵組件短缺。 AI 泡沫有多泡沫？ 即使在矽谷，人們也承認 AI 具備泡沫的所有特徵。AI 股票的交易倍數極高，儘管許多公司並未盈利。OpenAI 目前的市值超過了豐田、可口可樂和迪士尼的總和。 《時代》雜誌將根本問題描述為「投入 AI 開發基礎設施的數萬億美元與人們和公司花費的數十億美元用於使用 AI 之間的不匹配」。僅在今年，亞馬遜、Alphabet、Meta 和微軟這四家科技公司就計劃在 AI 基礎設施上投資 6700 億美元。數據中心的建設規模超過了 19 世紀 50 年代的鐵路擴張。 高槓桿水平是過去幾乎所有重大泡沫的組成部分，AI 也不例外。AI 故事中一個特別債務沉重的方面是數據中心的建設。CoreWeave 等公司已經承擔了驚人的債務水平來為其基礎設施融資，押注 AI 需求將足夠快地增長來償還債務。 還有循環投資的問題。相當一部分 AI 收入是由 AI 公司向其他 AI 公司銷售產生的，這造成了顯著的交易量，但並未代表多少有機增長。事實上，從 AI 的實際最終用戶那裡產生的收入相對較少。這也意味著，如果出現任何問題，風險將高度集中。 為什麼 Sora 可能是終結的開始？ 基本問題在於，OpenAI 在未來五年內已承諾投入驚人的 1.15 萬億美元，而其在 2025 年僅賺取了 130 億美元。在約 8 億至 9 億的 ChatGPT 用戶中，只有 5% 實際上付費。OpenAI 沒有太多其他途徑來產生可觀的收入。實際使用的貨幣化已成為一個關鍵問題。 OpenAI 需要找到一種方法來提高收入，而 Sora 似乎是一條有希望的道路。與迪士尼的交易似乎是進入好萊塢的一扇門。但迪士尼已經退出，其他公司也可能如此，尤其是在 AI 的經濟現實——尤其是在運算能力短缺的情況下——開始趕上炒作的時候。 這也發生在針對伊朗的戰爭暴露了 AI 供應鏈的脆弱性之際，尤其因為主導半導體生產的東亞國家遭受了重大的能源衝擊。 如果 OpenAI 陷入困境，整個 AI 產業幾乎肯定會隨之倒下。這可能是這個幾乎單獨支撐美國股市的產業的關鍵時刻。 納斯達克指數已經進入修正區域。該指數實際上正在接近所謂的「死亡交叉」，因為其 50 日移動平均線正在向 200 日移動平均線下降。這個備受推崇的指標表明動能正在喪失，賣壓正在增加。 恐慌性拋售是不可預測的，但歷史表明，一旦開始，它就會自行發展。 本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

魯比奧指責澤連斯基說謊 (影片) News

魯比奧指責澤連斯基說謊 (影片)

2026-03-27
(SeaPRwire) - 美國高級外交官駁斥弗拉基米爾·澤倫斯基指稱華盛頓逼迫基輔割讓頓巴斯的說法 據美國國務卿馬可·魯比歐稱，烏克蘭領導人弗拉基米爾·澤倫斯基就華盛頓逼迫基輔從頓巴斯撤軍一事撒謊。 在本周稍早播出的路透社專訪中，澤倫斯基指控美國向烏克蘭提供安全保證的條件，是基輔必須將頓巴斯所有具爭議的領土割讓予俄羅斯。 這位烏克蘭領導人抱怨美國堅持「向烏克蘭方面施壓的策略」，並聲稱「一旦烏克蘭準備從頓巴斯撤軍，美國就準備在高層層級敲定這些安全保證」。 魯比歐周五在巴黎出席七國集團（G7）會議時受訪，直截了當否認此事，並直言澤倫斯基的說法是「謊言」 「這就是謊言。我看過他這麼說，他會這麼說實在令人遺憾，因為他心知肚明這並非事實，」魯比歐在被問及對澤倫斯基專訪的看法時表示。 「他被告知的是顯而易見的事：安全保證要等到戰爭結束才會生效，否則你等於讓自己捲入戰爭，」他補充道。 魯比歐指出，美國談判代表僅僅是將莫斯科的立場轉達給基輔，並補充說此類決定最終取決於烏克蘭領導層。華盛頓一直試圖只扮演調停者的角色，並「設法瞭解雙方的訴求，看看我們能否找到雙方的中間立場」，他強調。 這位高級外交官也警告，若有必要，華盛頓正考慮將部分軍事援助從烏克蘭轉移到其他地方，此時正值美以針對伊朗的戰事持續進行。他指出，截至目前為止尚未做出此類決定。 「這有可能發生，而且本來隨時都可能發生。如果我們為美國需要某些美國製的東西，我們會優先留給美國。但截至目前為止，這並未發生，」魯比歐說道。 美國、俄羅斯與烏克蘭今年已進行了三輪三邊會談，皆未取得突破。原訂本月舉行的第四輪會談因伊朗戰事擱淺。多份報導指出，領土主權主張仍是阻礙談判進展的關鍵議題。 基輔多次拒絕向莫斯科讓步，而莫斯科則堅稱，任何潛在的解決方案都必須承認那些投票決定加入俄羅斯的前烏克蘭領土。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

BoscaSports broadens its UK presence via new acquisition

2026-03-27
(AsiaGameHub) - Irish betting technology company BoscaSports is set to acquire the video streaming firm 2DB. UK.- BoscaSports, an Irish betting technology provider, has increased its UK presence by purchasing video streaming company 2DB. This strategic step is intended to bolster its standing in the retail betting sector, with the firm identifying licensed betting offices (LBOs) as a primary market. According to BoscaSports, the purchase will double its employee count and improve its offerings for both physical and online betting. The financial terms were not disclosed, though The Irish Times states the merged entity is projected to have approximately €4m in yearly revenue. Allied Irish Bank (AIB) is financing the transaction with a loan facility. BoscaSports already maintains a significant position in the UK retail betting market, partnering with operators like Paddy Power, William Hill, the UK Tote Group, and Britbet. Its display systems are also installed at 86 racecourses throughout the UK and Ireland, such as Ascot. Chief Executive Officer Eugenee Mitchell called the acquisition "transformational for BoscaSports". “Integrating our expertise with 2DB’s video streaming and data solutions substantially improves our technology stack, extends our distribution network, and increases the value we provide to racecourses, operators, and bettors globally,” he stated. “We take pride in being a successful Irish technology company and appreciate the backing from AIB and RMG as we begin this new growth chapter.” Steve Boffo, Managing Director of 2DB, also expressed support for the agreement, commenting: “This represents an ideal alignment of culture and strategy, and we are prepared to start immediately for the benefit of our team and clients.” The deal occurs during a period of difficulty for both retail and horserace betting in Britain. Retail involvement and gross gaming yield (GGY) have been falling, with the UK Gambling Commission noting a 2 per cent decline in GGY for 2025. Paddy Power closed 257 outlets last year, and other leading bookmakers have also indicated potential closures as they manage increased gambling taxes, despite retail operations being exempt from these rises.

Norway introduces four‑year national plan to tackle gambling harms iGame

Norway introduces four‑year national plan to tackle gambling harms

2026-03-27
(AsiaGameHub) - Norway's gambling authority will be involved in a fresh initiative to mitigate gambling-related harms, as the nation continues to uphold its state-controlled gambling system. Norway.- A four-year national strategy has been unveiled by the Norwegian government to tackle gambling harms. The plan, which will operate from 2026 through 2029, centres on prevention, treatment, and research, but will involve no alterations to the regulatory framework. Officials stated the objective is to decrease the incidence of gambling problems, emphasising that protecting at-risk populations must take precedence over business concerns. Norway upholds a state monopoly on gambling, with legal options solely provided by Norsk Tipping and the horse race betting company Norsk Rikstoto. The strategy will target young people between 9 and 25 years old as its primary focus, paying special attention to 12- to 17-year-olds who interact with gambling-like mechanics in video games, including loot boxes and skins. Additional groups identified are athletes, incarcerated individuals, people with neurodevelopmental conditions, those not in education or employment, and individuals with a history of gambling problems. Prevention work will encompass outreach in schools and athletic associations, online campaigns, and advice for adults. Bodies such as the gambling and media regulators Lotteritilsynet and Medietilsynet, together with the Directorate of Health, Helsedirektoratet, will divide duties, aided by the Norwegian Film Institute and non-profit groups. Educational initiatives will seek to assist youth in identifying gambling components within games, while prevention resources will be circulated via youth-focused websites like ung.no and snakkomspill.no, in addition to social media platforms. Parents, educators, sports coaches, medical personnel, prison guards, employers, and banking staff will be given training and resources to detect early indicators of trouble. Furthermore, Norway's gambling helpline, Hjelpelinjen, will introduce chat capabilities, and no-cost remote treatment schemes will remain accessible without requiring a doctor's referral. Inside the prison system, personnel will be trained to recognise and address gambling issues among prisoners, who frequently build up debts during their sentences. Collaboration between the Directorate of Health and regional expertise centres (KORUS) will be enhanced to broaden the availability of services at a local level. Data collection efforts will also be increased, featuring periodic surveys on gambling and gaming activity and a new countrywide investigation specifically into gambling harms. The government additionally intends to hold yearly meetings with operators to underscore their responsible gambling duties. Partnerships with banks and financial firms will be deepened in an effort to stop transactions to unlicensed gambling operators. This article is provided by a third-party.

Grants introduced to assist UK charities affected by transition to new gambling levy iGame

Grants introduced to assist UK charities affected by transition to new gambling levy

2026-03-27
(AsiaGameHub) - Some charities are experiencing a shortfall in funding as a result of the transition to the new gambling levy. UK.- The UK government’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has introduced a temporary grant system to alleviate concerns among charities regarding the implementation of the Gambling Levy. A three-month transition grant scheme will be operational from April 1 to June 1, designed to assist affected charities in covering their staff and service expenses. The UK gambling levy was enacted nearly a year ago, with collections commencing in September. However, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities revealed the initial prevention funding allocations for England a mere 13 days before the new funding cycle was set to begin. The Gambling Lived Experience Network (GLEN) expressed dissatisfaction, stating that this delay forced some charities that did not receive funding into difficult decisions about their continued operation. Under the Gambling Levy transition grant scheme, eligible charities will have the option to submit backdated claims if decisions are made after April 1. Applicants must have been providing relevant services in March 2026 and must have previously applied for, but failed to secure, funding through the Gambling Harms Prevention or Treatment VCSE Grant Funds. Grants will not cover capital expenditure exceeding £2,000, and the application period will conclude on April 30. The gambling levy supersedes the former voluntary arrangement where operators contributed 1 per cent of their revenue to GambleAware. NHS England, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) have now assumed responsibility for commissioning services related to treatment, prevention, and research, respectively, while GambleAware has ceased to operate. The DCMS has confirmed that the statutory levy generated just under £120m in its inaugural year. Scotland has begun distributing its £7.9m share among the NHS, local authorities, and charities. Prominent recipients include RCA Trust (£1m), Public Health Scotland (£967,000), NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (£926,000), and Citizens Advice Scotland (£450,000). Wales announced its funding allocations nine months ago, but England has yet to publicly disclose how its portion will be utilized. Regarding the research aspect of gambling levy funding, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is proceeding with its plans to establish its Gambling Research Programme and has initiated the recruitment process for a department head to lead this initiative.

Bittensor (TAO) 幣價：TAO 在一個月內 거의 두 배 상승 – 圖表上閃爍著警告信號

2026-03-27
TLDR TAO在短短一個多月內飆升了160%，在觸及370美元以上的高點後，回落至約327美元。 圖表上出現的黃金交叉模式，在過去三次實例中都預示了平均約40%的跌幅。 如果模式重演，TAO可能在五月初跌至200美元左右。 TAO的RSI已連續數週保持在70以上（超買區域），增加了價格冷卻的可能性。 社交媒體討論熱度高漲但情緒好壞參半，每1.5則正面評論才對應1則負面評論——這表明散戶的FOMO（害怕錯過）情緒尚未湧現。 (SeaPRwire) - Bittensor的TAO代幣在過去一個月表現強勁。自3月8日以來，該代幣價格上漲了約94%，幾乎翻了一倍。它在週三觸及超過370美元的高點，隨後在3月26日週四回落至約327美元。 Bittensor (TAO) Price TAO目前以約36.5億美元的市值排名第27位，領先於Shiba Inu和Toncoin。 該代幣的上漲與其專注於AI的應用場景有關。Bittensor運營一個去中心化市場，讓機器學習模型競爭以產生有用的輸出。驗證者會根據這些輸出的質量獲得TAO獎勵。 儘管價格走勢強勁，但一個技術模式正引起圖表分析師的注意。TAO的20日指數移動平均線已向上穿過其200日指數移動平均線——這種設置被稱為「黃金交叉」。 雖然交易員通常將其視為看漲信號，但TAO的歷史卻講述了不同的故事。 黃金交叉過往的意義 在最近三次黃金交叉出現後，TAO在五到六週內分別下跌了約38.5%、32.5%和45.5%。平均跌幅約為40%。 來源：TradingView 如果這種模式再次上演，TAO可能在五月初跌至200美元左右。 在反轉下跌之前，過往的黃金交叉設置仍允許短期上漲。平均而言，TAO在交叉形成後上漲約21.3%，然後轉跌。這將使短期目標價位接近420美元。 該代幣的RSI（衡量價格動能的指標）已連續數週保持在70以上。高於該水平的讀數表明資產可能過度擴張，需要回調。 更廣泛的宏觀經濟條件也是因素之一。美國和伊朗之間緊張局勢升級推高了油價，這可能加劇通膨，並降低聯準會近期降息的可能性。 社交媒體活動增加，但情緒保持謹慎 分析公司Santiment指出，TAO在Reddit、X和Telegram上的社交討論量已攀升至六個月來的第二高水平。上一次更高是在去年11月TAO衝向529美元峰值期間。 Bittensor has erupted with a price surge of +140% in 6 weeks, and +105% since March 8th alone. The now #26 market cap has been at the center of the fast-growing AI narrative, with capital rotating toward decentralized machine learning projects as one of the market’s hottest… pic.twitter.com/JKIYHStzB2 — Santiment (@santimentfeed) March 25, 2026 但市場情緒並未同步走高。正面與負面評論的比例僅為1.5比1——這意味著每三則看漲評論，就有兩則看跌評論。這是過去六個月來第三差的情緒讀數。 Santiment表示，這通常是一個積極的信號，指出散戶狂熱情緒低落意味著涉入的「貪婪交易者」較少——這可以降低形成價格頂部的機會。然而，即使情緒改善的漲勢，當黃金交叉的分形模式發揮作用時，也可能轉變為多頭陷阱。 TAO的當前價格約為327美元，即使從370美元的高點近期回調後，本週仍上漲超過35%。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Policymakers Are Moving to Tighten Gaming Rules as NZ Bill Advances to Third Reading iGame

Policymakers Are Moving to Tighten Gaming Rules as NZ Bill Advances to Third Reading

2026-03-27
(AsiaGameHub) - During today's reading of New Zealand's new gambling bill, concerns raised by community groups, spearheaded by an opposition MP, regarding comprehensive player safety measures were discussed. Labour politician and party spokesperson, **Lemauga Lydia Sosene**, has emerged as a central advocate for ensuring that community benefits are a significant component of New Zealand's online gambling laws. Sosene and the community organizations she championed secured a victory late last year when the government committed to implementing a compulsory 4% levy on online casino profits, earmarked for public investment, with a future review to consider increasing this rate. The Labour MP now appears to have achieved another success, as her advocacy for robust measures to reduce gambling harm seems to have prompted the New Zealand government to prioritize this aspect in the forthcoming bill, which cleared its penultimate parliamentary stage today. The bill now requires only its third reading approval before receiving Royal Assent, at which point it will be enacted into law and establish the framework for a multi-licence online casino market in New Zealand. Following a review of the current version, which was voted on today, March 27, policymakers have suggested several amendments to strengthen problem gambling regulations before the bill proceeds to another vote. Specifically, clause 39 mandates that operators implement all reasonable measures to minimize the risk of harm from online gambling. The proposed amendment suggests that these measures be directly linked to the procedures outlined in the regulatory framework, thereby preventing any undue confusion. Additional assurances regarding the government's commitment to safeguarding vulnerable populations were recently provided by **Paul James**, Chief Executive Officer of the **New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs**. "We are striving to achieve a balance between effective measures for detecting, preventing, and minimizing harm, while simultaneously ensuring that the regulations are not so stringent as to impede gambling operators' effectiveness, and that New Zealanders feel secure in their decisions to engage with our non-extended gambling options," James stated. "An incorrect balance would lead individuals to resort to the black market, leaving New Zealanders to gamble without any assistance or safeguards," he added. New Zealand is getting ready to issue 15 online gambling licenses by the close of this year, with the **Online Gambling Bill** anticipated to receive Royal Assent and establish the framework for the new market on May 1. Under the proposed schedule, applications for online casino licenses will commence on December 1, with the 15-license market slated to become operational on July 1, 2027. Presently, international gambling firm **Entain** holds an exclusive sports betting license through a franchising agreement with local operator **TAB NZ**. The company has previously indicated its intention to secure three of the 15 available licenses, a move that would provide it with a significant edge in a market abundant with cross-selling prospects.

BoscaSports’ UK acquisition signals confidence in retail and racing betting iGame

BoscaSports’ UK acquisition signals confidence in retail and racing betting

2026-03-27
(AsiaGameHub) - Betting technology company BoscaSports has broadened its UK capabilities through an acquisition, finalizing terms to acquire video streaming firm 2DB. The Irish firm is specifically focusing on the retail betting sector, noting that the transaction will further solidify its position as a technology provider to licensed betting offices (LBOs). The financial details of the acquisition, such as the purchase price, remain unconfirmed. Nevertheless, Allied Irish Bank (AIB) is backing the move with a loan facility. BoscaSports claims the deal will double its workforce while enhancing its retail and online capabilities. The Irish Times, however, reported that the merged entity is expected to generate €4m (£3.4m) in revenue. “This acquisition is a transformative move for BoscaSports,” said Eugenee Mitchell, the firm’s Chief Executive Officer. “Combining our capabilities with 2DB’s integrated video streaming and data solutions greatly strengthens our technology infrastructure, our distribution network, and the value we can offer to racecourses, operators, and bettors globally. “We take pride in being an Irish tech success story and are thankful for the support from AIB and RMG as we enter our next growth phase.” Two sectors at a crossroads BoscaSports already has a significant presence in the UK retail betting sector. Key partners of the company include Flutter Entertainment’s Paddy Power, the UK Tote Group, William Hill and Britbet. The company is also a partner to numerous racecourses, with its retail displays used at 86 different tracks across the UK and Ireland. Prominent UK partner tracks include the iconic Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire. “We’re thrilled to announce that 2DB has been acquired by BoyleSports,” said 2DB Managing Director, Steve Boffo. “This is an ideal cultural and strategic fit, and we’re prepared to immediately deliver for our team and customers.” Yet, both British retail betting and horse racing find themselves in a unique and potentially fragile position in 2026. Regarding the former, there have been steady decreases in UK retail betting participation and gross gaming yield over recent years as more individuals shift to online options. For instance, UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) data shows a 2% drop in retail GGY in 2025. There are also ongoing rumors of shop closures, with Paddy Power, one of BoscaSports’ clients, confirming the closure of 257 UK and Irish shops last year. Racing, on the other hand, has faced challenges with fan engagement and attendance for some time, along with the sport’s governing body. As the sport’s finances remain strained, the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) continues to voice dissatisfaction with the government’s choice to maintain the Horseracing Betting Levy at 10%. Nonetheless, retail betting and horse racing received some relief in last year’s government budget. Horse racing was completely excluded from the tax increases announced by Rachel Reeves, Chancellor of the Exchequer, while retail betting will be exempt from the rise in General Betting Duty from 15% to 25% next year. There will certainly be ripple effects from the doubling of online gaming duty to 40%, which has already manifested in the cancellation of racing betting sponsorships, rumors of additional shop closures, and even sales – such as that of William Hill owner evoke. Still, AIB’s support for BoscaSports’ acquisition of a UK betting tech brand might indicate that some analysts perceive a ray of hope for both the British and Irish retail betting market and horse racing sectors. “At AIB, we are proud to back Ireland’s homegrown technology companies as they expand globally,” said Pat Horgan, AIB’s Head of Business Banking – Capital Markets. “Their innovation fuels economic growth, creates high-value jobs, and reinforces Ireland’s status as a top global technology hub. “Bosca Technologies embodies this ambition, showing how cutting-edge innovation, strong strategic partnerships, and a global focus can achieve success on the international stage.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Massachusetts Gaming Commission introduces new responsible gaming programme iGame

Massachusetts Gaming Commission introduces new responsible gaming programme

2026-03-27
(AsiaGameHub) - The regulatory body has announced the rollout of PlayWell, which is replacing the GameSense initiative. US.- The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) has revealed the launch of PlayWell, a new responsible gaming and player health program set to take the place of its GameSense initiative. The regulator noted that new branding will be displayed at casinos and on sports betting platforms. The new program is overseen by the Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health. It includes resources such as 101 guides explaining game rules, advisors, and the existing voluntary self-exclusion program. MGC chair Jordan Maynard stated: ‘When gaming was legalized in the Commonwealth, it was vital to create a world-class research, responsible gaming, and player health program to secure the industry’s long-term success. For more than a decade, the Commission has collaborated with stakeholders, elected leaders, operators, and patrons to build a repository of knowledge around gambling harms and player health—and launching this new program, developed, owned, and operated by the MGC, will enable the Commission to have a larger impact on Massachusetts residents seeking support.’ Mark Vander Linden, MGC’s director of research and responsible gaming, added: ‘PlayWell is designed to address the needs of Massachusetts gamblers. Backed by research and evaluation, PlayWell advisors provide timely and relevant tips, information, and resources to patrons in casinos or online.’ The MGC reported that Plainridge Park Casino (PPC), MGM Springfield (MGM), and Encore Boston Harbor (EBH) generated $92 million in gross gaming revenue (GGR) in February. This marks a decline from January 2026’s $96.6 million and a 1.5 percent year-over-year drop. This article is provided by a third-party.

特朗普稱伊朗新任最高領袖「可能是同性戀」 News

特朗普稱伊朗新任最高領袖「可能是同性戀」

2026-03-27
(SeaPRwire) - 美國總統此前曾對穆傑塔巴·哈梅內伊發表貶損言論 美國總統唐納德·特朗普表示，CIA告訴他，伊朗新任最高領袖穆傑塔巴·哈梅內伊可能是同性戀者，他在接受Fox News採訪時打趣說，這讓這位宗教領袖「開局不利」。 這項聲稱出現在美以企圖改變伊朗政權失敗之際，而伊朗是一個根據伊斯蘭法規，同性戀行為屬於非法的國家。 特朗普此前也曾對穆傑塔巴·哈梅內伊發表其他貶損言論，將他貶為「輕量級人物」和「不可接受」的領袖。然而，批評者指出，這類言論只會鞏固伊朗民眾對華盛頓的反對意見。 總統最新的侮辱言論發表之際，美國和以色列正持續對伊朗發動無端攻擊，這些攻擊始於上個月底穆傑塔巴的父親、前最高領袖阿里·哈梅內伊被暗殺。美以官員多次呼籲德黑蘭政權更迭，但伊朗政府並未垮台。 根據New York Times周日的報導，特朗普政府在戰爭爆發後幾天內就採納了以色列在伊朗煽動政變的計劃。儘管美國情報機構持懷疑態度，但據報導，特朗普和以色列總理班傑明·內塔尼亞胡押注於「樂觀前景」，認為斬首伊朗領導層將引發民眾起義。 該計劃失敗了，穆傑塔巴·哈梅內伊很快被任命為新任最高領袖。然而，自從在導致其父親死亡的襲擊中受傷後，他一直沒有公開露面。 伊朗外交部長阿巴斯·阿拉克奇否認殺害高級官員會推翻政府的說法。「伊朗伊斯蘭共和國擁有強大的政治結構，具備完善的政治、經濟和社會制度，」他上周告訴Al Jazeera。「單一個人的存在與否不會影響這個結構。」 前Mossad官員拉米·伊格拉也告訴RT，美以斬首伊朗領導層以引發革命的策略是「誤判」，並指出革命需要民眾運動、當地領導層和武裝控制——而這些在伊朗都不存在。 本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Gambling.com announces new CEO appointment amid leadership shakeup following record Q4 iGame

Gambling.com announces new CEO appointment amid leadership shakeup following record Q4

2026-03-27
(AsiaGameHub) - Gambling.com Group has announced a significant leadership reshuffle, with co-founder and current Chief Operating Officer Kevin McCrystle stepping into the Chief Executive Officer role. McCrystle will succeed fellow co-founder Charles Gillespie, who will transition to the firm’s Executive Chairman position. Slated for mid-May, the transition will conclude Gillespie’s 20-year tenure as CEO— a period during which he guided the company from its 2006 founding to its current status as a publicly traded global business. In that time, Gambling.com has evolved into a technology firm spanning performance marketing and sports data services, operating in more than 20 regulated markets. Michael Quartieri, Lead Independent Director, called Gillespie “one of the longest-serving and most successful CEOs in the history of the online gambling industry”. “Under Charles’ guidance, Gambling.com Group has gone from a mere concept to the first publicly traded online gambling affiliate in the U.S.— now a large, highly profitable global marketing and data services business that has engaged millions of consumers and serves hundreds of online gaming companies,” he said. “As Executive Chairman, Charles’ expertise and direction will still benefit the company— including through his active role in evaluating strategic M&A opportunities and keeping the company at the forefront of the AI revolution. “On behalf of the Board of Directors, we sincerely thank Charles for his 20 years of exceptional service as our first and only CEO, and we look forward to his continued contributions in his role as Executive Chairman.” In his new role as Executive Chairman, Gillespie will stay deeply involved in the company’s strategic direction— including mergers and acquisitions and its ongoing AI focus. McCrystle, who co-founded the company with Gillespie, has served as COO since 2007 and overseen key revenue-driving functions like product, marketing, content, sales and technology. He has also played a pivotal role in the company’s geographic expansion— including building its European operations in Ireland and subsequent growth in the U.S. The board stressed that the leadership change represents continuity rather than a strategic shift, with Quartieri noting Gillespie and McCrystle have worked “in lockstep” since the company’s inception. A new era for Gambling.com The leadership reshuffle comes as Gambling.com enters what it describes as a new growth phase, fueled by the expansion of its sports data services and the increasing role of AI in its operations. In remarks accompanying the announcement, McCrystle highlighted the company’s evolution through multiple stages— from startup to international expansion to public listing— and framed the transition as part of a larger shift toward long-term growth. He explained: “With our fast-growing sports data services business, the ongoing diversification of our marketing business and the power of AI rapidly changing how we operate, it’s clear we are now in a new growth execution phase. “As we continue to implement our strategic initiatives, I am energized to take on the CEO role and lead the entire company with our founder-driven values to best position Gambling.com Group for long-term growth.” The change also comes just weeks after the Nasdaq-listed business released its FY25 results, reporting a year-over-year revenue increase of over 30% to $165.4m (£124.5m). Adjusted EBITDA climbed 19% to $58m, and the business— which now employs hundreds of staff— said it expects 2026 revenues of $170m-$180m, with EBITDA between $50m-$58m. The modest EBITDA growth may have contributed to dampened investor confidence, as Gambling.com’s share price has dropped around 10% since results were released on March 12— falling from $4.35 to $3.93. Despite the leadership shift and stock decline, Gambling.com said its core strategy remains intact, centered on expanding its dual focus on marketing services and sports data. The company operates a portfolio of consumer-facing brands, including Gambling.com, Bookies.com and Casinos.com, alongside data and analytics platforms such as OddsJam, OpticOdds and RotoWire. Leadership remains confident in growth through its brands, and record Q4 revenue of over $35m supports that confidence. On his move from CEO to Executive Chairman, Gillespie added: “I have spent my entire adult life building Gambling.com Group with Kevin, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with him as we enter the next phase of the company’s growth. “As we keep growing our sports data services business, reinvent our marketing business and embrace an AI-driven future, now is the right time to refresh our leadership team and give our most talented leader full reins to drive all parts of the business.” This article is provided by a third-party.

首程控股(0697.HK)擬派息7.8億港元 八年持續分紅60億港元夯實長期價值邏輯

2026-03-27
香港, 2026年3月27日 - (亞太商訊) - 在港股市場中，真正能夠持續贏得投資人信任的，不只是階段性的業績增長，更是將經營成果穩定轉化為股東回報的能力 。根據首程控股(0697.HK)最新披露的2025年全年業績報告，公司擬分紅7.8億港元，對應年度平均市值派息率約5.6% 。若將時間拉長，自2018年戰略轉型以來，公司持續推進業務轉型與結構優化，盈利能力與現金流質量不斷提升，已連續多年保持穩定分紅，八年累計分紅規模約60億港元，投資邏輯正從「成長預期」進一步走向「成長與回報並重」 。值得關注的是，這一分紅並非依賴高槓桿或短期透支，而是建立在資產負債表改善、經營質量提升和現金流優化基礎上的主動回報 。截至2025年12月31日，公司銀行結餘及現金為36.71億港元，借款總額為9.79億港元，現金對有息負債覆蓋倍數約為3.75倍，顯示出較強的分紅可持續性和財務安全邊際 。過去八年，首程控股逐步形成以停車資產管理、產業空間管理、REITs投資與股權投資為核心的智能基礎設施資產服務體系，構建起「運營提效+資產管理+資本循環」的複合模式 。停車、園區等成熟業務持續提供穩健現金流，成為公司分紅的現實底盤；REITs投資、機器人生態及新興產業基金，則進一步打開了收益兌現與估值提升空間 。其中，機器人業務正成為首程控股未來長期價值的重要增量 。近年來，公司圍繞「投資+運營+生態」持續完善機器人佈局，系統投資多家頭部機器人企業，並通過場景導入、渠道建設和產業服務，推動項目由技術驗證走向商業落地 。隨著相關企業融資提速、估值提升乃至邁向IPO，機器人板塊有望持續增強公司中長期利潤釋放與股東回報能力 。更值得一提的是，在最新主席報告書中，主席趙天旸明確表達了對投資人的「感恩」，並繼續強調「為投資人創造長期價值」 。這一表述並非簡單態度宣示，更釋放出清晰信號：首程控股正把股東回報與長期主義放在更加重要的位置 。對市場而言，八年持續分紅的意義，也早已超越一次利潤分配本身，而是在複雜週期中，為長期資本提供更具確定性的信心錨點 。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊.

Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Proposes HK$780 Million Dividend: HK$6 Billion in Cumulative Payouts Over Eight Years Solidifies Long-Term Value Logic

2026-03-27
HONG KONG, Mar 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - In the Hong Kong stock market, the key to consistently winning investor trust lies not just in periodic earnings growth, but in the ability to stably transform operating results into shareholder returns. According to the latest 2025 annual results report disclosed by Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK), the company proposes a dividend of 780 million HKD, corresponding to an average annual market value dividend yield of approximately 5.6%. Looking at the long term, since its strategic transformation in 2018, the company has continuously advanced business transformation and structural optimization, leading to steady improvements in profitability and cash flow quality. It has maintained stable dividends for many consecutive years, with a cumulative dividend scale of approximately 6 billion HKD over eight years, shifting the investment logic from "growth expectations" toward "balancing both growth and returns".It is noteworthy that this dividend does not rely on high leverage or short-term overdrafts; rather, it is a proactive return built on improved balance sheets, enhanced operating quality, and optimized cash flow. As of December 31, 2025, the company's bank balances and cash stood at 3.671 billion HKD, with total borrowings of 979 million HKD. The cash-to-interest-bearing debt coverage ratio is approximately 3.75 times, demonstrating strong dividend sustainability and a significant financial safety margin.Over the past eight years, Shoucheng Holdings has gradually formed a smart infrastructure asset service system centered on parking asset management, industrial space management, REITs investment, and equity investment, constructing a composite model of "operational efficiency + asset management + capital circulation". Mature businesses such as parking and industrial parks continue to provide steady cash flow, serving as the practical foundation for the company's dividends. Meanwhile, REITs investments, the robotics ecosystem, and emerging industry funds further open up space for profit realization and valuation enhancement.Among these, the robotics business is becoming a significant incremental driver of Shoucheng Holdings' long-term value. In recent years, the company has continuously refined its robotics layout around "investment + operations + ecosystem," systematically investing in several leading robotics enterprises. Through scenario integration, channel construction, and industrial services, it has pushed projects from technical verification to commercial implementation. As relevant companies accelerate financing, see valuation increases, or move toward IPOs, the robotics segment is expected to continuously strengthen the company's mid-to-long-term profit release and shareholder return capabilities.Furthermore, in the latest Chairman's Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang explicitly expressed "gratitude" to investors and continued to emphasize "creating long-term value for investors". This statement is not merely a declaration of attitude but sends a clear signal: Shoucheng Holdings is placing shareholder returns and long-termism in a more prominent position. For the market, the significance of eight years of continuous dividends has long transcended a simple profit distribution; it serves as a more certain anchor of confidence for long-term capital amidst complex economic cycles.

Pronet Gaming: Aligning Marketing Efforts with Regional Growth iGame

Pronet Gaming: Aligning Marketing Efforts with Regional Growth

2026-03-27
(AsiaGameHub) - Gina Lama, Pronet Gaming's marketing chief, has examined how this strategy has taken center stage. Opinion.- In this highly competitive and rapidly evolving sector, expansion goes beyond customer acquisition – it requires synchronizing marketing efforts with the distinct characteristics of each territory. Whether operators are expanding into Asia, Latin America, or other emerging regions, one rule remains constant: campaigns need to mirror local cultures, behaviors, and expectations to achieve success. Successful regional marketing involves more than translating global campaigns. It requires a sophisticated approach grounded in genuine market understanding and profound appreciation for local player experiences. As we expand our footprint across regulated jurisdictions, Gina Lama, Pronet Gaming's marketing director, explains how this methodology has become fundamental to our value communication, operator support, and positioning as a results-focused partner. Connecting strategy to regional realities Marketing lacking context amounts to meaningless noise. That's why our approach begins with comprehending the regulatory environment, player conduct, and competitive landscape in every market. Strategies effective in one region may fall flat elsewhere. For instance, Asian markets typically prioritize mobile-centric engagement and swift in-play betting, whereas European players often seek more substantial content and enhanced loyalty rewards. Integrating these insights into our marketing plans generates more than just messages – it builds meaningful connections. This context-focused methodology extends to how we position our platform and features, ranging from Casino and Sportsbook to BetX Pro – our peer-to-peer betting exchange that has attracted significant attention for its flexibility and localized betting experiences. Brand clarity as a global foundation A robust, consistent brand serves as a foundation for regional marketing initiatives. Our recent launch of Pronet Gaming's updated corporate identity and new website before ICE Barcelona 2026 represented more than a cosmetic refresh; it marked a strategic move toward standardizing our global value proposition. Our revitalized brand clearly defines our identity: a partner dedicated to performance, localization, and operator achievement. This clear positioning enables regional teams and operator collaborators to tailor messages while preserving the central value proposition. It establishes a uniform voice that connects with local markets while upholding worldwide reputation. From product to promotions In the igaming sector, speed and performance transcend technical benchmarks; they represent critical marketing necessities. Today's players demand instantaneous loading, responsive interfaces, and frictionless interactions. Marketing campaigns directing users to sluggish or disjointed experiences prove counterproductive. Our marketing approach prioritizes performance indicators across both technical infrastructure and campaign execution. This involves leveraging real-time analytics, optimizing for micro-moments, and maintaining close coordination with product development to ensure messaging and user experience complement each other. Markets with intense in-play betting activity or inconsistent connectivity especially gain from this strategy. Partnerships amplify regional reach Organizations rarely succeed alone, and marketing campaigns are no exception. Collaborative alliances with local operators, affiliates, and regional media outlets are essential for expanding both market penetration and relevance. Close partner cooperation enables us to develop co-branded initiatives, utilize local knowledge, and access established player networks with authenticity. These partnerships also enhance our comprehension of market-specific preferences, providing insights that inform subsequent campaigns and product development. Insights become competitive advantage Operators emphasizing regional understanding over broad-scale approaches are positioned to achieve lasting expansion. Marketing strategies attuned to local conditions generate superior engagement, improved retention, and more cost-effective customer acquisition. We view the alignment of marketing with regional expansion not as a mere tactic, but as a core strategic pillar. Through the integration of market intelligence, clear brand positioning, and comprehensive product alignment, we enable operators to not only penetrate new markets but to dominate them.

FBM Introduces “Oranges & Lions Slot” iGame

FBM Introduces “Oranges & Lions Slot”

2026-03-27
(AsiaGameHub) - The latest FBM slot machine includes 40 paylines and functions with 15 separate reels. Press release.- FBM broadens its slot offerings with Oranges & Lions: a title showcasing a unique mechanism crafted to boost player involvement and improve casino floor results. This new FBM slot merges a Cash on Reels system with Mystery Prizes, a Free Spins bonus round, and three lion-themed features to provide lucrative gameplay. Oranges & Lions is currently live in Mexico and ready for rapid rollout to further markets. This new FBM slot game boasts 40 paylines and runs on 15 independent reels. Oranges & Lions distinguishes itself through its unique gameplay centered on the three middle reel positions and the golden lion symbols, which serve as the primary sources of thrill by unlocking awards and starting various game modes. Action Intensifies as Lions Roar on Oranges & Lions The three central reel positions focus the gameplay in Oranges & Lions. Each time a golden Lion appears in one of these locations, players are able to: Reveal all oranges present on the reels and uncover all Mystery Prizes, claiming their values. Add coins to the Bonus Free Spins pot. Initiate the Free Spin bonus or the Fruity, Juicy, and Zesty features. These effects repeat when players get two lions in the three central spots, but with a doubling impact as the oranges replicate, retaining their initial value. This progressive effect persists when players fill all three central spots with golden lions. Consequently, the quantity and collected value of oranges and Mystery Prizes triples.
