Everest Medicines Enters into Asset Purchase Agreement for Etripamil Nasal Spray, Expanding Cardiovascular Footprint

HONG KONG, March 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines today announced that it has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Corxel Pharmaceuticals Hong Kong Limited ("CORXEL"). Under the agreement, the Company has acquired the rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize CARDAMYST™ (etripamil) nasal spray in Greater China, including Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan region.Under the terms of the agreement, Everest will pay CORXEL an upfront payment of US$30 million (equivalent to approximately RMB344,895,000), as well as potential development milestone payments of up to US$20 million (equivalent to approximately RMB137,958,000). As part of this agreement, Everest will be assigned and transferred rights, interests, claims, duties, obligations and liabilities (other than certain excluded liabilities) under the Milestone License Agreement entered into by CORXEL in May 2021 and certain related ancillary agreements.CARDAMYST™ (etripamil) nasal spray is a novel, rapid-acting calcium channel blocker as administered as needed via a convenient, portable nasal spray. It offers rapid onset of action, favorable tolerability, and the potential for at-home self-administration, enhancing patient accessibility. In December 2025, CARDAMYST was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), becoming the first and only self-administered nasal spray in more than 30 years capable of converting paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) to sinus rhythm in adults. As a rapid-acting treatment option, CARDAMYST can be self-administered outside the emergency department or other healthcare settings, enabling patients to actively manage episodes and gain greater control over their condition. In addition to its approved indication for PSVT, etripamil nasal spray is also under clinical development for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (AFib-RVR). Phase II trials have shown encouraging results, and Phase III trials are planned, with the potential to further extend its therapeutic impact to a broader patient population.In China, the New Drug Application (NDA) for etripamil nasal spray was accepted by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on January 17, 2025 and is expected to receive approval in the third quarter of 2026.PSVT is characterized by abnormalities in the heart's electrical system that cause sudden unexpected and often severely symptomatic episodes of rapid heart rate. There are currently no approved self-administered, fast-acting, non-injectable therapies for acute PSVT, leaving patients with limited treatment options beyond emergency care. Approximately 2.3 to 4 per 1,000 individuals are affected by PSVT, representing an estimated 3 to 6 million patients in China.AFib-RVR is a type of irregular heart rhythm, characterized by an irregular and elevated heart rate. Its onset is typically gradual, episodes are less likely to terminate spontaneously, and the condition tends to recur, significantly increasing the risk of thromboembolism and serious complications such as stroke and heart failure. In China, atrial fibrillation affects an estimated 1.6% of the population, representing nearly 20 million patients, and is expected to increase with an aging population. Both PSVT and AFib-RVR are associated with a loss of control and a significant psychological burden for patients.Overall, the combined patient population for PSVT and AFib-RVR exceeds 25 million, representing a significantly unmet clinical need that urgently requires more convenient and more effective treatment options.In terms of clinical data, the NDA for etripamil nasal spray was accepted by the NMPA based on data from the pivotal global Phase 3 RAPID study and the China Phase 3 JX02002 study. Both trials met their primary endpoints. Overall, the treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were comparable between the etripamil and placebo groups. The FDA approval of CARDAMYST was supported by a robust clinical program that included safety data from more than 1,800 participants across more than 2,000 PSVT episodes. This included the Phase 3 RAPID trial, a global, randomized, double-blind comparison of etripamil versus placebo, published in The Lancet in 2023. The RAPID trial achieved its primary endpoint, with 64% of participants who self-administered etripamil (N=99) converting from supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) to sinus rhythm within 30 minutes compared with 31% on placebo (N=85) (HR = 2.62; p

During the Reporting Period, the commercialization of HuaTangNing (dorzagliatin tablets), the Company’s core product – the global first-in-class innovative anti-diabetes medicine, glucokinase activator (GKA) – advanced comprehensively across all fronts, the Company’s independent commercialization team was efficiently and seamlessly established in its first year of operations, the Company’s R&D pipeline continued to be enriched, and the Company’s financial performance achieved a historic breakthrough, successfully entering a new stage of profitability, injecting strong momentum into the innovative development of the global diabetes treatment field.Dr. Li CHEN, Founder and CEO of Hua Medicine, stated: “2025 is a remarkable year in the commercialization operation of Hua Medicine. The Company has successfully advanced from R&D to commercialization driven organization and achieved the fully independent capacity in commercialization of global first in class novel glucose homeostasis regulator HuaTangNing. With strong market execution and product competitiveness, we have achieved nearly triple-digit growth in sales volume and revenue over 2024 when the commercialization was farmed out to sales and marketing partners. At the same time, the Company has made key progress in global market expansion through registration of drozagliatin in Hong Kong and position it toward 700 M population in south-east Asia. We continue to expand the clinical application of glucose homeostasis regulation technology and engage in new indications such as early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and Frailty. The first-in-disease efforts in GCK-MODY and Frailty set the new innovation course of Hua Medicine in the next 5 years.” Business Highlights and Operational Progress- Fully Powered Commercialization, Historic Breakthrough in ProfitabilityOn January 1, 2025, the Company assumed full responsibility for the commercialization of HuaTangNing, allowing the company to consolidate both operational and strategic control over market execution in China. The Company successfully built a professional sales team covering 10 sales regions around the country, focusing on marketing, medical affairs and commercial operation. Through an AI-empowered digital commercialization platform, operational efficiency and sales productivity were greatly enhanced, injecting new vitality into the Company’s commercial development.Reimbursement coverage under the NRDL has significantly increased accessibility, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 hospitals, and played a critical role in accelerating patient adoption. Since its launch in October 2022, HuaTangNing has been prescribed to over 500,000 patients through 3,000+ hospitals, community centers, pharmacies and online channels.Sales performance exceeded expectations, with 4.011 million packs of HuaTangNing sold during the reporting period, representing a 91% increase over the fiscal year 2024. This growth was achieved at the same price for both periods, underscoring strong demand and successful execution of Hua’s commercial strategy.In terms of profitability, the Company’s gross profit reached approximately RMB280.4 million, a year-on-year increase of 125%. Thanks to expanded production scale and optimized manufacturing processes, the Company’s gross margin improved to 56.9%, increasing by 8.2 percentage points as compared to 48.7% for the year of 2024. Selling expenses increased only by RMB12.3 million to RMB165.5 million, reflecting a significant positive trend towards profitability when our selling expenses in the 2025 fiscal year represents only 33.6% of revenue, whereas in the 2024 fiscal year, our selling expenses represented approximately 59.9% of revenue. In fiscal year 2025, our commercialization efforts achieved profits of approximately RMB114.9 million (as defined by gross profits less selling expenses). Although we expect to continue to increase personnel to our commercialization team, we expect this profitability trend in our commercial operations in mainland China to continue.Following the termination of the collaboration with Bayer at the end of 2024, dorzagliatin achieved a record-high sales volume. Profit before tax increased to RMB1,106.4 million for the fiscal year 2025. We ended fiscal year 2025 with a cash position of approximately RMB1,092.3 million.- Accelerated Global Layout, Strengthened Core Rights and InterestsThe Company took a key step in global expansion. On February 27, 2026, dorzagliatin (trade name: MYHOMSIS®, was successfully approved for marketing by the Hong Kong regulatory authority. The Company plans to officially launch the product in the Hong Kong market by the middle of 2026 and further expand to Asian regions. In addition, the Company submitted a new drug registration application in Macau in 2025.The Company also made new progress in intellectual property protection. In February 2026, the patent term extension (PTE) application for dorzagliatin was formally approved by the China National Intellectual Property Administration, thereby the core patent protection period of dorzagliatin extended to April 2034 and an additional 5-year market exclusivity obtained, which provides a strong guarantee for the product’s long-term market competition.In 2025, dorzagliatin was recognized as national innovation and an effective therapy for chronic diseases by the regulatory authorities in China. Accordingly, the same NRDL price was offered for the calendar years 2026 and 2027. Reimbursement coverage under the NRDL has significantly increased accessibility, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 hospitals, and played a critical role in accelerating patient adoption. The Company will continue to safeguard the product’s market competitiveness and patient accessibility and accelerate the popularization of the drug among patients.- Advancement of Real-World Studies, Continuous Validation of Clinical ValueReal-world evidence (RWE) studies continue to corroborate the key role of dorzagliatin in improving glucose-dependent pancreatic islet secretion function, and demonstrate its efficacy in diabetes prevention, remission, and delaying or preventing diabetes complications.The RWE study sponsored by Hua Medicine HMM0701 with 380 T2D patients was fully enrolled in 2025. The interim analysis, as reported at the 2025 American Diabetes Association (ADA), showed that 86% of such patients were taking two or more antidiabetic drugs and 41% of such patients were using insulin. After a 6-month treatment, a significant improvement of glycemic control was observed with HbA1c reduction from 8.1% to 7.3% with the mean time-in-range (TIR) levels increasing to over 70%. Thus far, the studies have demonstrated that when dorzagliatin is administered in combination with other antidiabetic drugs, such patients have experienced significantly improved post-meal glucose levels and improved β-cell function.Separately, a mechanistic study with dorzagliatin (employing double-tracer measurement) was conducted in the United States to provide scientific evidence of hepatic glycogen formation in T2D patients with an average of 17 years of diagnosed diabetes. In this study, patients were treated with dorzagliatin twice daily for 6 weeks. The results showed that dorzagliatin increased direct glucose flux to hepatic glycogen implying the improvement of restoration of hepatic Glucokinase (GK) function. Together with the clinical research data that dorzagliatin improves early phase insulin release and GLP-1 secretion, recovery of hepatic glycogen synthesis in T2D patients offers an important path in controlling post-meal glucose excursion and provides a unique opportunity in controlling diabetes complications, such as diabetes kidney diseases and mild cognition impairment.The RWE sponsored by Hua Medicine (HMM0601) has completed clinical trials with over 2,000 subjects, with average diabetes duration of 7.9 years and above 30% having disease duration more than 10 years. The initial results suggest that dorzagliatin is safe and well tolerated in Chinese T2DM patients. There were no new adverse effects observed in the study and the incident rate remains as low as what was observed in Phase III clinical trials. Patient adherence was generally high, with a mean adherence rate of approximately 95%. In this study, 80% of the participants have used one or more oral anti-diabetes medicine, and 20% used insulin. Dorzagliatin demonstrated good efficacy and safety not only in the overall population but also in elderly, obese, and hyperglycemic patient populations, whether used as monotherapy or in combination with metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, insulin, and other medications. The topline results will be reported at the 2026 American Diabetes Association.- Deepened Clinical R&D, Continuous Expansion of New IndicationsNew Indication for Dorzagliatin – MODY-2 Patients.Medical experts in mainland China and Hong Kong have conducted independent clinical and preclinical studies of dorzagliatin for MODY-2 treatment. MODY-2, also called GCK-MODY, is a monogenic disease in which patients have a genetic defect of glucokinase gene (GCK) which results in elevated blood glucose and significant reduction of the second phase insulin secretion. The population of GCK-MODY patients is approximately 1.7 million in China. These patients are diagnosed with diabetes at a young age and represent an unmet medical need given that currently available medications are not effective. In clinical studies with MODY-2 patients, China investigators have reported that dorzagliatin is effective in reducing blood glucose levels to normal levels in MODY-2 patients who previously failed to manage their elevated blood glucose levels when treated with metformin, TZD, DPP-IV inhibitors, and SGLT-2 inhibitors. Additional results demonstrated that a single dose of dorzagliatin improved overall glucose sensitivity and second phase insulin secretion significantly in GCK-MODY patients, suggesting a unique mechanism of action of dorzagliatin to regulate GLP-1 secretion. Based on such results, Hua Medicine has communicated and reached a consensus with the CDE at NMPA to file the IND submission of dorzagliatin for MODY-2 patients in 2026.Dorzagliatin for Diabetes Prevention.Prevention of diabetes is an important focus at Hua Medicine. There are approximately 1.12 billion people living with prediabetes worldwide. We have initiated SENSITIZE 3 clinical study in Hong Kong in pre-diabetic (IGT) subjects and in early diabetes patients. These studies represent first-in-disease studies. In this double-blinded placebo-controlled study, we will evaluate the blood glucose management and pancreatic function under IVGTT and OGTT conditions to better define the clinical treatment baseline and endpoints. We expect to complete this study in 2026 and explore the opportunity to file IND applications of dorzagliatin for diabetes prevention in China and Asian Pacific regions thereafter. Dorzagliatin for Neurodegenerative Diseases.MCI shows approximately 15.5% prevalence among elderly people in China and approximately 22% in the US, and is common in T2D patients with a 45% incidence rate. The development of dorzagliatin for neurodegenerative disease is a new focus in our drug discovery efforts. Through the Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) and Mendelian Randomization (MR) study, we have realized the important role of GCK gene activation in the prevention of memory loss and cognitive impairment in humans. It has also come to our attention that post-meal glucose excursion is closely related to Alzheimer disease and dementia. The bio-energy balance in the brain is largely dependent on the glucose homeostasis control in the peripheral organ and the neural network communication in the central and peripheral system via spatial temporal management. Impaired glucose homeostasis and diabetes conditions result in a reduction of glucose transporter expression and insulin receptor expression in the brain, which can be prevented by low dose dorzagliatin. We have realized the potential of dorzagliatin in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and will initiate these first-in-disease clinical studies in the future.Dorzagliatin for Frailty.Frailty is an age-related geriatric syndrome characterized by reduced tolerance to internal and external stressors. Approximately 17% of Americans and 11% of Asians over the age of 50 suffer from frailty, while pre-frailty affects roughly 50% and 47% of these populations, respectively. It is not a single-organ disease, but the consequence of dysregulated multisystem homeostasis. Genetic evidence supports the causal effects of glucokinase (GK) activation on lowering frailty risk. We plan to initiate clinical studies in the future to advance dorzagliatin’s application in frailty.Development of combination therapy for diabetes and complications.Dorzagliatin rescues pancreatic function in glucose insulin secretion and GLP-1 secretion, as evidenced by clinical and basic research results. It also improves hepatic insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic insulin resistance through recovery of hepatic glycogen synthesis in T2D patients. The combination of dorzagliatin with DPP-IV inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, and GLP-1 agonists have demonstrated effective regulation of lipid metabolism. Studies in combination with anticancer PI3K inhibitors have also offered unique benefits for glucose homeostasis management.- Diversified Product Pipeline, Innovative Layout for Future GrowthHua Medicine continues to enrich its pipeline layout based on core products. The Company has accelerated the R&D of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of dorzagliatin and metformin as a twice-daily therapy for Type 2 diabetes patients with inadequate glycemic control on metformin alone, to further improve patient medication compliance. The product is supported by the strong results of the loose-dose combination in both Phase III clinical trials and real-world use. The Company has submitted an IND application to NMPA, and the GMP commercial manufacturing process has been successfully carried out, preparing for the pivotal bioequivalence study for NDA filing in 2027. Clinical studies have shown that the combination of dorzagliatin and metformin can better control blood glucose, reduce postprandial blood glucose and improve fasting blood glucose, providing new clinical value for optimizing blood glucose homeostasis endpoints.We have advanced our 2nd generation GKA as a once daily therapy for patients with obesity, leveraging dorzagliatin effects in improved glucose-stimulated GLP-1 secretion in the pancreas and in the intestine. The MAD study of the 2nd generation GKA was initiated in the United States with first-patient-in in December 2025, and we expect to report topline data by the middle of 2026.Meanwhile, the Company is also exploring combination therapy regimens of dorzagliatin with GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT-2 inhibitors and other drugs. In a recently published clinical trial in China, researchers reported the superior benefits of our dorzagliatin in combination with semaglutide as compared to semaglutide alone in a 12-week study. The combination group showed superior results across several key measures, including glycemic control, bodyweight related indicators and β-cell function.Financial Summary- Revenue generated by the Company was approximately RMB 492.9 million from the sale of approximately 4.011 million packs of HuaTangNing, increases of approximately 93% and 91% respectively, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024.- Gross profit generated by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, was approximately RMB280.4 million, representing an increase of approximately 125%, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024, and gross margins rose to 56.9%.- Profit before tax increased by approximately 542% to approximately RMB1,106.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024.- Bank balances and cash position was approximately RMB1,092.3 million as of December 31, 2025.- Expenditures incurred by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, were approximately RMB433.4 million.Forward-Looking StatementsThis document contains statements regarding Hua Medicine's and its products' future expectations, plans and prospects.

GAMOMAT Boosts Its Frooty Troupe Series with the New Release Frooty Troupe – Game On! iGame

GAMOMAT Boosts Its Frooty Troupe Series with the New Release Frooty Troupe – Game On!

(AsiaGameHub) - GAMOMAT, one of the leading online game developers and independent content providers, is kicking off the next Frooty Troupe adventure with the launch of Frooty Troupe – Game On! At the core of Frooty Troupe – Game On! is an expanding symbol feature that takes inspiration from GAMOMAT’s classic Book-style mechanics, reworked without requiring a Book symbol or Free Games trigger. This means Free Games-style excitement can be unlocked in the base game: when a Bonus Symbol — a regular symbol with a special background — lands as part of a winning combination, the entire reel is covered by that symbol, and potential wins are paid on all possible lines based on how many reels have the matching symbol at the end of the spin. While gameplay takes center stage, the second entry in the vibrant slot series follows the feel-good beach vibes of Frooty Troupe – Sun Splash, but this time shifts to a retro-themed game featuring familiar fruity characters. This nostalgic adventure comes alive thanks to a retro-inspired, 8-bit soundtrack that ramps up as players progress through different levels. Melony, Graprielle, Plumbert, Orangela, Lemord and the cherry twins Cherrchill & Cherrlotte have their hands on the joystick as they explore an arcade world ready to compete for high scores and success. GAMOMAT is releasing Frooty Troupe – Game On! via its Remote Gaming Server, G-RGS, and through the Bragg HUB, ensuring smooth distribution across regulated markets.

(AsiaGameHub) - Formula 1 telah memperpanjang kemitraannya dengan Allwyn melalui perjanjian multi-tahun baru, setelah musim pertama yang sukses bersama. Olahraga ini telah berkembang pesat di seluruh dunia dalam beberapa tahun terakhir dan kesepakatan ini menyusul musim di mana ia mencapai 827 juta penggemar, serta audiens TV global kumulatif sebesar 1,8 miliar. Kesepakatan yang diperpanjang dengan operator National Lottery Inggris ini berfokus pada peningkatan keterlibatan penggemar secara digital. “Kami senang dapat memperpanjang dan meningkatkan kemitraan kami dengan Allwyn, memberikan manfaat bagi penggemar kami dan komunitas tempat kami balapan,” kata Emily Prazer, Direktur Komersial Utama, Formula 1. “Kerja sama kami dengan Allwyn mencerminkan komitmen bersama kami untuk meninggalkan warisan positif dan memanfaatkan inovasi sebagai cara untuk memberikan pengalaman penggemar baru baik di rumah maupun di acara global kami. “Allwyn adalah mitra yang kuat dan berharga bagi Formula 1, baik dalam mengembangkan olahraga ini maupun dalam memberikan manfaat bagi orang-orang yang dijangkaunya di seluruh dunia.” Tren berlanjut untuk Allwyn dan Formula 1 Tambahan utama adalah integrasi Allwyn ke dalam platform Formula 1 Predict, di mana penggemar dapat memprediksi hasil balapan selama akhir pekan Grand Prix. “Allwyn League” yang baru akan menawarkan hadiah termasuk tiket balapan, akses Paddock Club, dan memorabilia eksklusif, sementara perusahaan secara keseluruhan akan lebih terlihat selama lap formasi balapan tertentu sepanjang musim. Program Formula 1 Allwyn Global Community Awards, yang diluncurkan pada tahun 2025, akan diperluas pada tahun 2026 untuk mendukung hingga delapan organisasi di seluruh kota tuan rumah, menggandakan jumlah penerima manfaat dari tahun pertamanya.

EGBA soroti perjudian lepas pantai yang merajalela kepada Brussels iGame

EGBA soroti perjudian lepas pantai yang merajalela kepada Brussels

(AsiaGameHub) - Sektor perjudian Eropa berpartisipasi aktif dalam tindakan European Commission (EC) untuk memberantas penipuan online di seluruh benua tersebut. Pada awal tahun ini, EC mulai mengembangkan rencana aksi yang akan membuka kolaborasi lintas batas yang lebih kuat antar negara anggota dalam memerangi kejahatan terorganisir online. Untuk menyusun strategi yang komprehensif, EC mengundang pihak-pihak yang berkepentingan untuk menyampaikan masukan dan praktik terbaik dalam melawan skema penipuan, yang juga mencakup para pemangku kepentingan perjudian yang telah melawan pasar gelap selama bertahun-tahun. Sebagai perwakilan dari sektor tersebut, European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) menanggapi seruan EC untuk memberikan masukan dengan menyoroti bahaya penyedia perjudian ilegal yang memangsa pemain yang tidak menaruh curiga dengan berpura-pura sebagai operator berlisensi. Untuk mendukung klaimnya, bukti pendukung dari EGBA mencakup contoh situs web yang menggunakan nama domain yang sangat mirip dengan nama domain operator resmi, yang menyalahgunakan reputasi pasar yang teregulasi. Bukti lainnya menunjukkan aplikasi perjudian seluler ilegal di perangkat Google dan Apple, kampanye pasar gelap di media sosial, dan penipuan phishing. Lebih lanjut, asosiasi perdagangan tersebut mengingatkan EC bahwa platform perjudian ilegal mewakili sekitar 27%, atau €18 miliar, dari total GGR pasar perjudian online Eropa pada tahun 2025. Hal ini menempatkan pemain pada risiko yang signifikan, mengingat platform-platform ini tidak menawarkan perlindungan yang sama seperti operator berlisensi, melainkan meningkatkan peluang pencurian identitas, kerugian finansial, dan berkembangnya perilaku perjudian bermasalah. Dr Ekaterina Hartmann, Direktur Urusan Hukum dan Regulasi di EGBA, berkomentar: “Bukti yang kami kumpulkan menunjukkan bagaimana para penipu secara sistematis mengeksploitasi kepercayaan konsumen terhadap lingkungan perjudian berlisensi, menempatkan konsumen Eropa dalam risiko dan membiarkan pasar perjudian online ilegal berkembang. “Dari situs web palsu dan aplikasi penipuan hingga kampanye phishing dan penipuan media sosial, ancaman-ancaman ini muncul kembali secepat mereka diturunkan. Pendekatan nasional yang terfragmentasi terhadap jenis penipuan ini tidaklah cukup – kita memerlukan tindakan terkoordinasi di tingkat UE untuk memastikan konsumen dan operator resmi tidak dibiarkan berjuang sendirian melawan penipuan.” Rencana Aksi EC dalam Memerangi Penipuan Online diperkirakan akan diadopsi sekitar kuartal kedua tahun 2026.

In logistics field:In the container manufacturing business, during the Year, despite negative supply chain factors such as U.S. tariff policies and geopolitical conflicts, global merchandise trade demonstrated strong resilience. Intra-regional trade, Asia-Europe routes and emerging market routes became the main drivers of incremental growth. Meanwhile, factors such as detours around the Red Sea, port congestion, environmental requirements in shipping and increasing complexity of trade routes reduced transportation efficiency, structurally boosting underlying demand and pushing the global container fleet into a new structural phase. As a result, overall demand for new containers in 2025 remained at a relatively high level, exceeding the average of the past decade. During the Year, the production and sales volume of the Group’s container manufacturing business declined YoY, in line with overall industry expectations, but the Group maintained its global No.1 position.

ICONIC21 Launches Industry-First Power Combo Featuring Bubble Craps and Bubble Crapless Craps iGame

ICONIC21 Launches Industry-First Power Combo Featuring Bubble Craps and Bubble Crapless Craps

(AsiaGameHub) - ICONIC21 continues to cement its status as a sought-after iGaming content provider with the unique dual launch of Bubble Craps and Bubble Crapless Craps. This launch represents a major leap forward, successfully adapting beloved land-based favorites into a live-streaming format through the debut of Bubble Craps and Bubble Crapless Craps. While both deliver authentic casino action to the digital space, the Crapless version stands as a first-of-its-kind product in the iGaming market. Streamed 24/7 from a sleek, futuristic automated table, the game provides a consistent and immersive experience that bridges the divide between the casino floor and the digital screen. To expand player reach, it features two distinct versions, both supported by a refined UI/UX that simplifies the betting structure and reduces the learning curve for new players. The Strategy: Tradition Meets Accessibility. The core mechanics remain consistent across both titles – players watch the same dice settle, following the same “Come Out” and “Point Roll” rhythm. The distinction lies in the audience: Bubble Craps: Crafted for purists. It upholds classic rules for seasoned players who know exactly what they seek from a high-stakes dice experience. Bubble Crapless Craps: By removing the possibility of losing on the “Come Out” roll (2, 3, or 12), it offers a simple, low-friction entry point that turns curious players into dedicated users. This launch is a win for operators: it captures a high-intent audience with a modern, automated format that honors the deep-rooted traditions of land-based craps. The game maintains the classic feel of physical dice popping while streamlining the pace of play. Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “Innovation should never come at the expense of accessibility. While standard bubble craps is a favorite, our Bubble Crapless Craps is a true industry first for the online market, giving players a unique way to experience the game’s most action-packed variant. “For operators, it’s an honest win: you get a unique, standout title that traditional players trust, and new players find easy to learn, without the headache of managing a complex live dealer setup.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Playson introduces new Mystic Feature in 4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win iGame

Playson introduces new Mystic Feature in 4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win

(AsiaGameHub) - Playson, the renowned digital entertainment provider, celebrates the much-awaited comeback of Cleopatra in 4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win. This grand launch introduces a novel rotating Mystic Feature, enhancing the gaming experience through a two-tiered bonus system. Set against a sapphire sky above desert dunes, the 5×3 grid showcases vivid Egyptian-themed symbols alongside golden coins and as many as four sought-after Scarab Coins on the reels. The traditional Hold and Win Bonus Game featuring Scarab mechanics activates when violet, red, or blue Scarab Coins align with corresponding colored Scarab Pots positioned above the reels. The specific coin combination appearing on a spin dictates which of these features activates: Mystic Feature – This innovative addition causes every Red Scarab Coin that appears to uncover six extra cells containing as many as six random coin or Jackpot Coins. Multi Feature – Activated by the Violet Scarab Coin in the Bonus Game, this applies multipliers reaching 5x to vacant cells or boosts existing Multipliers for higher values. Collect Feature – Blue Scarab Coins emerging during this feature accumulate the value of all active symbols, encompassing any Multipliers linked to Coins, Jackpots, or Scarab Coins. Securing a Royal Scarab Coin in the Main Game may unlock the Royal Bonus Game, which begins with an enlarged 5×5 grid and one or more active features—Mystic, Multi, or Collect. Throughout this round, the triggered Royal Pyramid drops random violet, red, or blue Scarab Coins until six appear, introducing new features or upgrading current ones. Reflecting the slot's opulent design, Jackpots are available in both Bonus Games. Completing all 15 cells in the Bonus Game yields a 3,000x Grand Jackpot, while lucky adventurers who fill all 25 cells in the Royal Bonus Game activate the Royal Jackpot, worth a remarkable 10,000x. Adding a surprise element to Bonus gameplay, obtaining the Golden Pot in either Bonus Game triggers the Golden Pot Feature. Upon activation, it randomly converts into violet, red, or blue Scarab Coins, either launching another Scarab Feature or improving the active feature. 4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win demonstrates Playson's capacity to enhance its leading game portfolios with distinctive new mechanics, bolstering player engagement through data-informed insights. Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, commented: “4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win builds on a proven success and amplifies it with added excitement via our new Mystic Feature. Paired with the expanded Royal Bonus Game, players can anticipate more significant moments, deeper gameplay, and greater winning opportunities throughout. “This launch exemplifies how we advance our most popular titles, incorporating innovative mechanics that maintain gameplay as fresh, captivating, and highly competitive for our partners.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Belatra Releases Big Bang 2 in the Gaming Universe iGame

Belatra Releases Big Bang 2 in the Gaming Universe

(AsiaGameHub) - Belatra, a prominent developer of cutting-edge online slots, has turned its attention to the cosmos with the launch of its electrifying new slot, Big Bang 2. Emerging from the vast expanse, Big Bang 2 introduces an innovative cascading mechanic set against an 8x8 grid. Wins are achieved when five or more identical celestial bodies form a cluster, connected either horizontally or vertically. Each victory triggers cascading explosions, causing new symbols to fall into place. The game is enhanced by captivating visuals and a futuristic soundtrack, creating a truly cosmic experience. At the heart of the game lies the Black Hole, which functions as a Wild symbol. In the base game, it possesses its own multiplier that increases by one each time it contributes to a winning combination. If multiple Black Holes are part of a win, their multipliers are combined and applied to the total payout. True Giants, ranging in size from 2x2 to 5x5, can appear on the grid at any moment. Each of these colossal symbols comes with a multiplier equivalent to its width, meaning larger planets yield greater rewards. The Planet Rain feature can activate randomly, transforming an ordinary round into a significant event by providing an instant boost to all winning clusters. During each round, a Coin Spawn Zone becomes active across three random positions. When planets explode within this zone, they release Cosmic Coins with values ranging from 1 to 100. These coins are then absorbed by the Black Hole that holds the highest multiplier on the field. The appearance of three or more Black Holes on the grid initiates five Free Games. These Black Holes remain fixed until the end of the bonus round, growing in power with each cascade. The Coin Spawn Zone expands to four positions at the start of the Free Games and continues to grow by one cell with every spin, thereby increasing the potential for larger wins. Hot Mode is activated when three Black Holes land simultaneously with a “+1” symbol. This mode features six high-intensity games with an expanding Coin Spawn Zone. Players also have the option to jump directly into the action by purchasing either the standard Bonus Games or the high-intensity Hot Mode. Regardless of the chosen option, the win potential in these modes is substantial, reaching up to 10,000 times the initial bet. Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, stated: “Big Bang 2 embarks players on an unforgettable journey through deep space, featuring rewarding mechanics such as merging Black Holes, expanding Coin Spawn Zones, and win potential up to 10,000x. This game has been meticulously designed for players who value style, aesthetics, and the excitement of epic discoveries within the boundless universe of gaming.” This article is provided by a third-party.

In addition, due to the decline in sales revenue and gross margin, as well as an increase in loss allowances for trade receivables owing to extended repayment from certain distributors, the profit attributable to owners of the Company decreased by 59% year-on-year to approximately HK$13.7 million, although such decrease in profit was already partly offset by a net gain on compensatory surrender recognised during the year. Earnings per share of the Company was HK0.97 cents per Share.With strengthened marketing effort for dry white in coastal region and the launch of new white wine and sparkling wine products, sales of white wine products served as the Group’s primary revenue contributor.

Tahun turbulen di Playtech dengan penurunan pendapatan meski pertumbuhan di Amerika iGame

Tahun turbulen di Playtech dengan penurunan pendapatan meski pertumbuhan di Amerika

(AsiaGameHub) - Laporan keuangan FY25 terbaru dari Playtech Group mengungkapkan bahwa perusahaan tersebut ketinggalan dalam pendapatan B2B pada saat ia beralih dari operasi B2C. Perdagangan tahun lalu menghasilkan pendapatan B2B sebesar €688,3 juta, turun 9% dari €754,3 juta pada 2024. EBITDA yang disesuaikan turun 36% menjadi €141,4 juta dibandingkan perbandingan FY24 sebesar €222 juta, sementara laba setelah pajak mencapai €44,2 juta – penurunan 28% tahun ke tahun. Penyebab utama dampak pada kinerja adalah perjanjian Caliente Interactive yang disesuaikan kembali pada akhir 2024, yang membuat Playtech berhenti menerima biaya layanan B2B tambahan di H1 2025, dan mulai menerima dividen pembayaran sebagai pemegang saham ekuitas 30,8% mulai H2. Prioritas strategis regional Berlawanan dengan hasil pendapatan B2B, pendapatan dari operasi B2C mencapai €78,5 juta (FY24: €97,8 juta), didorong oleh penjualan raksasa perjudian Italia Snaitech senilai €2,3 miliar kepada Flutter Entertainment, dan penutupan tambahan operasi B2C di Jerman dengan penjualan merek domestik HAPPYBET. Namun, hal positif besar bagi Playtech di FY25 adalah kemajuan di Amerika Utara. Pendapatan di AS dan Kanada tumbuh 71% tahun ke tahun berdasarkan mata uang konstan, dari €29,8 juta menjadi €48 juta. Perusahaan tersebut mengatakan kinerja didorong oleh aktivitas kuat dari pelanggan seperti DraftKings, FanDuel, Hard Rock Digital, dan Delaware North. Live Casino telah menonjol sebagai pendorong signifikan untuk operasi Playtech di AS, konfirmasi perusahaan, dengan jumlah meja Live yang dioperasikan oleh perusahaan hampir dua kali lipat tahun ke tahun di studio-studio mereka di New Jersey, Michigan, dan Pennsylvania. Berpindah ke Amerika Latin, wilayah tersebut diabadikan sebagai "prioritas strategis inti" oleh manajemen perusahaan, meskipun pendapatan domestik turun 27% menjadi €162 juta sebagai akibat langsung dari perjanjian Caliente yang direvisi dan pengenalan PPN di Kolombia. Meskipun demikian, pengaturan Brasil pada awal tahun lalu telah membantu mengimbangi dampak yang lebih signifikan, dengan pendapatan Amerika Latin sebenarnya naik 8% tahun ke tahun dengan Caliente tidak dihitung. Kolombia juga tetap menjadi peluang jangka menengah yang layak berkat kemitraan lokal Playtech dengan Wplay, dan potensi pemerintah untuk mengurangi PPN 19% pada setoran perjudian online menjadi pajak 16% pada GGR pemain. Pendapatan dari operasi B2B di Eropa tumbuh 4% tahun ke tahun menjadi €207,4 juta, meskipun menghadapi hambatan perpajakan. Polandia, Spanyol, Yunani, dan Prancis disorot sebagai pasar terbaik untuk Playtech sepanjang 2025. Pendapatan Inggris, yang dihitung secara terpisah dari Eropa, turun 6% tahun ke tahun, tetapi tetap menjadi prioritas utama bagi perusahaan berbasis Isle of Man. Perselisihan publik Playtech dan Evolution AB… Perusahaan juga memberikan pembaruan tentang kasus yang sedang berlangsung dengan Evolution AB, menyatakan: "Evolution belum meminta izin dari Pengadilan New Jersey untuk menambahkan entitas grup mana pun ke dalam proses, dan tidak ada klaim yang diberikan kepada Playtech plc atau anak perusahaannya." Pada Oktober 2025, Evolution yang terdaftar di Stockholm menerbitkan pengumuman mengatakan bahwa Playtech menyewa Black Cube, perusahaan intelijen swasta Israel yang mengklaim spesialisasi dalam 'perselisihan berisiko tinggi'. Playtech kemudian mengakui telah menugaskan penyelidikan pribadi terhadap pesaingnya dan mengatakan ia 'berpegang teguh pada keputusannya' untuk melakukannya. Evolution menggambarkan langkah tersebut sebagai 'kampanye fitnah', mengatakan penyelidikan, yang diklaim mengungkap bukti perusahaan beroperasi secara ilegal di yurisdiksi termasuk Cina, Iran, dan Sudan antara 2021-2023, dimaksudkan untuk merusak reputasinya dan dapat menyebabkan kerugian 'bermiliaran dolar'. Namun, Playtech menanggapi: "Evolution terus berusaha menghindari pemeriksaan yang sah daripada menjawab pertanyaan lama tentang perilakunya, termasuk keputusannya untuk memasok operator di pasar ilegal dan mendukung operator tanpa lisensi di pasar teratur." … yang telah menyebabkan penurunan harga saham Namun, perselisihan tersebut tidak disambut baik oleh pasar, karena saham Playtech turun dari 349,5p menjadi 237,5p dalam lima jam pertama perdagangan pada hari pengumuman. Harga sahamnya secara umum berada dalam tren menurun selama 12 bulan terakhir, turun lebih dari 50% selama periode tersebut. Keistimewaannya adalah tren positif sejak awal tahun. Bahkan hari ini, meskipun sentimen positif dari eksekutif, kemajuan besar di Amerika Utara, dan peningkatan harapan, saham turun 7,5% menjadi £3,31. Nilai pasarnya masih sedikit di atas £1 miliar. Hambatan pajak yang mendatang dan sedang berlangsung, perselisihan saat ini dengan pesaing, serta penurunan pendapatan mungkin menjadi beberapa faktor yang membuat investor enggan menanamkan uang mereka ke dalam bisnis berbasis Isle of Man yang banyak dibicarakan. Posisi Playtech sebagai perusahaan terdaftar di London – khususnya FTSE 250 – tidak diinginkan pada saat perubahan seperti ini, dan perusahaan berharap dapat berkembang seperti yang dinyatakan oleh eksekutif untuk memutar balik penurunan besar dalam laba, pendapatan, dan harga saham.

CFO Allwyn: Kami adalah raksasa kas dalam industri perjudian dan lotere iGame

CFO Allwyn: Kami adalah raksasa kas dalam industri perjudian dan lotere

Kenneth Morton, Direktur Keuangan Grup Allwyn International, menegaskan bahwa rekam jejak perusahaan dalam menghasilkan pendapatan tunai tidak dapat disaingi oleh para pesaing setelah penyelesaian merger OPAP pekan ini. (AsiaGameHub) - Manajemen Allwyn International meyakini bahwa mereka telah menciptakan kasus investasi terkuat di industri perjudian global, setelah transformasi menjadi perusahaan publik melalui integrasi dengan OPAP. Saat penutupan pasar pada Selasa 24 Maret, Allwyn diperdagangkan sebagai perusahaan lotre dan permainan terbesar kedua di dunia, mengukuhkan posisinya di jajaran teratas operator perjudian yang terdaftar di bursa. Transaksi ini akan menggabungkan Allwyn International dengan OPAP, pengelola lama lotre nasional Yunani dan waralaba taruhan ritel – menandai puncak dari upaya strategis selama enam bulan untuk membentuk kembali identitas keuangan dan perusahaan grup. Menciptakan nilai di Allwyn yang tampil baru Pada intinya, profil baru Allwyn ditentukan oleh kemampuan menghasilkan pendapatan tunai, skala, dan konsistensi, sekaligus memperkuat statusnya sebagai salah satu kontributor terbesar untuk kegiatan amal di berbagai pasar operasinya. Namun, bagi Direktur Keuangan Grup, Kenneth Morton, yang berbicara secara eksklusif kepada SBC News setelah penyelesaian merger, cerita ini tidak hanya tentang skala, tetapi juga tentang kepercayaan, diferensiasi, dan penciptaan nilai yang berkelanjutan. "Kami bukan pemain baru di pasar ini," ujar Morton, menunjuk pada kemitraan historis Allwyn dengan OPAP yang terdaftar di bursa Athena. "Investor OPAP sudah tahu apa yang telah kami lakukan. Total pengembalian pemegang saham telah melebihi 500% sejak 2013." Kenneth Morton, Allwyn CFO – Sumber: Allwyn Ia menambahkan bahwa kinerja ini didorong oleh eksekusi yang disiplin, termasuk penggandaan EBITDA OPAP selama lima tahun terakhir. Yang terpenting, rekam jejak itu telah berubah menjadi kepercayaan investor yang kuat terhadap entitas gabungan yang baru, dengan lebih dari 93% pemegang saham OPAP tetap menanamkan investasinya. "Kami telah memberi mereka banyak keuntungan – dan kredibilitas ini penting saat kami menyampaikan cerita Allwyn secara global," katanya. Mendefinisikan ulang industri lotre Morton memposisikan Allwyn sebagai pemain yang berbeda secara jelas di antara perusahaan perjudian terdaftar di bursa lainnya. Bermula dari Republik Ceko dengan SAZKA, grup ini telah berkembang menjadi entitas yang ia gambarkan unik di sektor ini – yang secara efektif menciptakan kategori operator baru dengan meningkatkan skala dan memodernisasi model lotre di berbagai yurisdiksi. "Apa yang kami miliki adalah bisnis yang cukup berbeda," katanya. "Kami telah membangun sesuatu yang sebelumnya tidak benar-benar ada – platform berskala yang berbasis lotre." Diferensiasi ini berakar pada kombinasi kekuatan ritel, kemampuan digital, teknologi milik sendiri, dan integrasi konten yang terus meningkat. Semua ini bertujuan untuk memperluas relevansi lotre di lanskap hiburan modern. Pilar utama dari kasus investasi Allwyn adalah kemampuannya untuk memberikan pertumbuhan sekaligus pengembalian bagi pemegang saham – keseimbangan yang menurut Morton tidak ada tandingannya di sektor ini. Ia melanjutkan: "Sejak 2019, kami hampir melipatgandakan ukuran bisnis tiga kali lipat di semua metrik. Pada saat yang sama, kami telah menghasilkan banyak pendapatan tunai dan membayar dividen yang signifikan." Bagi Morton, kinerja ganda ini mendasari daya tarik Allwyn di pasar ekuitas: "Ini adalah proposisi yang sangat menarik dan memikat." Dalam percakapannya dengan SBC, ia menggambarkan perusahaan sebagai contoh langka bisnis permainan yang mampu meningkatkan skala, sekaligus mempertahankan disiplin keuangan dan memberikan pengembalian yang konsisten. Diversifikasi adalah kekuatan Diversifikasi adalah kekuatan penentu lain dari profil PLC Allwyn yang baru, terutama dalam konteks kondisi pasar yang tidak pasti dan siklis. "Jika Anda melihat saham permainan, kami adalah salah satu yang paling terdiversifikasi," kata Morton. "Ini adalah nilai tambah yang besar – baik dari perspektif penahanan risiko penurunan maupun dari segi opsi pertumbuhan." Tidak seperti operator yang sangat terpapar pada pasar tunggal atau vertikal produk tunggal, struktur multi-pasar dan multi-saluran Allwyn memberikan dasar pendapatan yang lebih tangguh sekaligus menawarkan fleksibilitas untuk mengejar peluang pertumbuhan baru. Allwyn yang tampil baru Ke depan, ambisi perusahaan jauh melampaui Eropa. Meskipun OPAP dan aset kontinental lainnya memberikan dasar yang kuat, Morton mengidentifikasi Amerika Utara sebagai perbatasan strategis utama bagi operator, bersama dengan peluang yang muncul di Amerika Selatan. Ia menjelaskan: "Ada peningkatan pengembalian skala di industri permainan. Anda tidak hanya bersaing dengan operator taruhan lain – Anda bersaing memperebutkan waktu dan uang konsumen melawan perusahaan hiburan global." Di lingkungan ini, kesuksesan bergantung pada skala, teknologi, konten, dan merek – area di mana Allwyn yakin telah membangun keunggulan kompetitif yang berarti. Meskipun skala merger ini besar, Morton menegaskan bahwa pimpinan perusahaan melihat transaksi ini bukan sebagai titik akhir, melainkan awal dari fase baru. "Ini mungkin transaksi paling menarik yang pernah kami lakukan," katanya. "Ini menempatkan kami di titik yang sangat menarik dalam pengembangan grup." Fokus Allwyn kini beralih ke mengeksekusi tahap pertumbuhan selanjutnya. "Kami telah membangun dasar yang kuat," tutup Morton. "Sekarang saatnya membawa bisnis ini ke tingkat yang lebih tinggi."

OpenClawd Ships Verified Skill Screening After Security Researchers Find 12% of OpenClaw Marketplace Skills Are Malware ACN Newswire

OpenClawd Ships Verified Skill Screening After Security Researchers Find 12% of OpenClaw Marketplace Skills Are Malware

NEW YORK, N.Y., Mar 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - OpenClawd AI today released a security-focused platform update that adds automated skill vetting, verified installer sourcing, and runtime sandboxing to its managed OpenClaw hosting service. The update responds to two converging threats targeting users of the open-source AI agent formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot: a large-scale malware campaign inside the official OpenClaw skill marketplace, and a parallel wave of counterfeit installation packages being promoted through search engine results.The numbers are bad enough on their own. Together, they describe a supply chain that is actively hostile to casual users.One in Eight OpenClaw Skills Is Confirmed MaliciousIndependent security researchers recently completed an audit of the ClawHub skill marketplace — the primary distribution channel for third-party OpenClaw plugins. Out of 2,857 published skills, 341 were confirmed as malicious. That is approximately 12% of the entire marketplace.The findings include:Keyloggers and credential stealers deployed through skills that appear to offer legitimate productivity featuresSilent data exfiltration — one widely-downloaded skill was found to instruct the OpenClaw agent to execute curl commands that sent user data to an external server without any notification or consent promptPrompt injection payloads embedded in skill descriptions, designed to override the agent’s safety guidelines and force execution of unauthorized commandsPlaintext credential exposure — a separate audit found that over 280 additional skills were leaking API keys, tokens, and passwords in their source codeA major cybersecurity firm tested a specific ClawHub skill and published the results: nine security findings, including two critical and five high-severity issues. The skill functioned as what the researchers called “functionally malware.” The most widely-downloaded malicious skill on ClawHub was a cryptocurrency stealer.Fake OpenClaw Installers Are Being Promoted by Search EnginesThe marketplace problem is only half the story. A cybersecurity research team discovered that threat actors have published counterfeit OpenClaw installation packages on open-source code repositories. These fake installers mimic the legitimate OpenClaw setup process but instead deliver a malware packer that disables firewall protections and routes network traffic through compromised systems.The attack chain is straightforward: a user searches for “install OpenClaw” or “Clawdbot download.” An AI-powered search engine returns a result linking to the malicious repository. The user follows the instructions. The malware deploys silently.The researcher who discovered the campaign noted that the person who first reported the threat was a technical professional. “If a fellow IT pro is susceptible to this threat,” he said, “then anyone could be.”“There are now two ways to get compromised before you even run your first OpenClaw command,” said Danny Wilson, spokesperson for OpenClawd. “You can install a fake version of the software, or you can install the real version and then add a skill that steals your data. We built this update so that neither path exists on our platform.”What OpenClawd Ships TodayThis update targets both the supply chain and the runtime:Verified installer sourcing — all OpenClawd instances are provisioned from cryptographically signed OpenClaw releases, pulled directly from the official repository. No third-party install paths. No search engine intermediaries.Skill vetting pipeline — third-party skills go through automated static analysis and behavioral testing before activation. Skills flagged for network exfiltration, prompt injection patterns, or credential exposure are blocked by default.Runtime sandboxing — each skill executes in an isolated environment with explicit permission boundaries. A skill that requests network access to an unexpected endpoint triggers a review before execution.Credential isolation — API keys and tokens are stored in encrypted vaults and never exposed in plaintext to skill code or agent logsAutomatic CVE patching — hosted instances track the latest stable OpenClaw release (currently v2026.3.x), with all known vulnerabilities patched before deploymentOpenClawd does not operate its own skill marketplace. Skills available on hosted instances are drawn from the official ClawHub repository after passing the vetting pipeline described above.OpenClawd is not affiliated with the OpenClaw open-source foundation, OpenAI, Peter Steinberger, or any third-party security research firm cited in this release. It is an independent platform built on the open-source Clawdbot codebase. The open-source project remains free at github.com/openclaw/openclaw.Pricing starts with a free tier. Paid plans include dedicated compute, priority security patching, and uptime monitoring.
