There’s also a financial constraint, with Ahlberg noting that GiG has used its available cash and is raising additional capital to fund the 888Africa transaction, meaning he doesn’t expect the company to pursue further B2C acquisitions in the short term.
Robinson takes a more expansive view, however, arguing that the acquisition could mark the beginning of a broader shift in GiG’s strategy. “I’d read it as the start of something, not a one-off,” he says. “GiG’s survival as an independent business depends on consolidating in emerging markets where it can own the P&L, not just supply the technology.
“It’s worth remembering this isn’t foreign ground. GiG ran Rizk, Guts, Kaboo and Thrills until it sold them to Betsson in 2020 to pay down a bond. A previous regime decided B2C and B2B didn’t mix. The current one clearly thinks otherwise.”

Under Section 106 of New Zealand’s Gambling Act 2003, a class 4 licence holder, also known as a “corporate society” by the regulator, “must apply or distribute the net proceeds from class 4 gambling only to or for an authorised purpose specified in the corporate society’s licence”.
The DIA worked directly with class 4 gambling operators (commonly known as pokies trusts), and discovered ‘widespread issues’ such as cases where money that should have been available for community grants was instead spent on society expenses, such as the purchase of additional gaming machines.
Vicki Scott, the DIA’s director of gambling, said the investigation had delivered significant results, while stressing that work to improve compliance and ensure communities received their share of gambling proceeds would continue.
About Sea Fantasy
The title doesn’t come from Push Gaming’s main studio. It comes from Reel Hot Games, the sub-brand that handles the developer’s fruit, sevens, and Vegas-style output. That distinction matters. It positions Flaming Streaks as a deliberate return to old-school territory rather than a headline release aimed at the high-volatility audience Push Gaming is better known for.
For a studio associated with feature-heavy, high-ceiling slots, a compact throwback with a modest max win reflects a strategy of keeping a lighter, nostalgia-driven strand running alongside its flagship work.
The most useful hook for slots readers isn’t the fruit-and-sevens dressing. It’s the way Flaming Streaks structures its payouts. Both of the game’s core features are designed to guarantee a win, and that approach shapes the entire proposition.
