About The Magic Orb

As Macquarie analyst Chad Beynon points out, prediction markets generated $4.3 billion in taker volume during the first week of September without any help from the NFL, building on momentum from the 2026 World Cup. However, the NFL’s impact was immediate, with taker volume hitting a daily record during Week 1 of the campaign.

With all that in mind, it’s not surprising that Macquarie expects sports event contracts will drive approximately 80% of taker volume this year, but Beynon sees other categories growing over the long term.

“We expect non-sports categories such as economics, politics, crypto, and entertainment to gain share over time,” says the analyst.

About The Magic Orb

Rovito was among 22 people indicted in April in a federal case involving an alleged illegal gambling operation in northwest Indiana. 

Prosecutors charged him with operating an illegal gambling business and conspiracy to collect extensions of credit by extortionate means. The indictment alleges that the operation involved sports betting and the collection of gambling debts.

Rovito has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. His attorney has disputed the government’s allegations, claiming that the indictment does not allege his client collected money, made any threats, or directed other defendants to do so.

About The Magic Orb

Play’n GO has released Triple Beasts of Fortune, a five-reel, 1,024-payways slot. Its central hook is a bonus structure that can layer three separate Free Spins features into a single round.

The interest here sits less in the frontier-and-bison theme, a heavily worked category, than in how the studio has engineered its bonus play. The game is set on a supernatural Grand Canyon frontier where three crystal-linked Free Spins features can arrive alone, in pairs or all three together.

That modular approach is the reason the release stands out in a crowded segment. Rather than funneling players into one static bonus, Play’n GO gives Triple Beasts of Fortune multiple entry points that can stack. This changes how volatility and payout potential accumulate across a session.
