Streaming is also becoming part of the product. Monk said prediction market interfaces had moved beyond their earlier trading-led presentation to incorporate streams, player propositions and combinations resembling sportsbook bet builders.

“It was still very much a trading kind of UX,” he said of Kalshi at the beginning of the year. “The actual product offering has come a long way.”

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.

The other is a subsequent takeover offer of MGM Resorts from its largest shareholder, Barry Diller’s People Inc. But a negative shift in market conditions could affect both deals.
