About Golden Sphinx

Betfred has already shuttered 132 outlets this year, following last year’s RGD increase.

“We have tried hard to protect all our sites and the colleagues who work in them, but the combined impact of higher employer National Insurance contributions, wage inflation, increases in gambling taxes and wider economic uncertainty has left us with no choice,” said Chief Executive Jo Whittaker in a statement to iGB at the time the closures were announced.

Evoke also closed 200 of its William Hill stores in April of this year for the same reason.

The barge itself never actually floated, by the way. That was just a myth. It sat on a fixed platform that created a mild rocking motion. That piece of Vegas engineering, like the statue’s original perch, is now history.

The barge functioned as an intimate stage graced by legendary performers, including Dionne Warwick, Blues Traveler, Matt Goss, and CeeLo Green. Its final performer was another Vegas icon rumored to be powered by hydraulics: Wayne Newton. His “Up Close & Personal” residency in 2019 was the lounge’s final act before the pandemic shut down the Strip for 90 days and closed Cleopatra’s Barge for good in March 2020.

The lounge enjoyed one last moment in the spotlight in 2022, however, when Adele—on the eve of the debut of her long-delayed residency at the Colosseum—tweeted a photo of herself goofing around nervously on its abandoned deck.

Blueprint has been explicit about the commercial thinking. Alex Naspe, marketing director at Blueprint Gaming, said: “Building on the success of Triple Action Cash Strike, we have welcomed the return of the pots mechanic, showcased through a vibrant display featuring fireballs with a series of modifiers for a heightened bonus experience.” He added that the studio expects the title to “further strengthen the series’ position within our portfolio and deliver another engaging addition for our operator partners and their players worldwide.”

The release underlines Blueprint’s ability to introduce fresh iterations to a series players already know

That framing positions Triple Power Cash Strike as a portfolio-reinforcement play. It’s no break with the studio’s established output. The release underlines Blueprint’s ability to introduce fresh iterations to a series players already know, blending new features with mechanics that have proven their worth. For a franchise already earning across multiple regulated markets, that is the point. Extend what works, and keep the series in front of both operators and returning players.
