What is Cranky Panda?

A pro-gaming political action committee has launched a campaign to persuade Allen County voters to approve a casino referendum on the November ballot.

Vote Yes for Allen County Casino recently unveiled a 90-second advertisement that promotes the possible economic benefits of bringing a gaming resort to Indiana’s third-most populous county.

The campaign claims that a casino in or near Fort Wayne, the second-largest city in the Hoosier State, could create 2,000 new permanent jobs and generate more than $100 million annually in new government revenue without raising taxes.

SmartSoft CEO Guram Gotsadze said the company’s decision to join the AiA reflected its growing focus on the continent and its commitment to supporting the development of regulated and sustainable gaming markets.

“Africa is an important and growing part of SmartSoft’s international strategy, and joining the African iGaming Alliance represents an important step in strengthening our long-term commitment to the continent,” he commented.

Peter Kesitilwe, CEO of the AiA, added: “SmartSoft already has significant exposure to African markets, and we look forward to working with their team on issues ranging from B2B licensing and market access to responsible gaming, channelisation and sustainable regulation.”

Push Gaming has added Flaming Streaks, a 3×3 classic-style slot built around four jackpots and a guaranteed-win bonus round. The release says more about the studio’s segmented output than about the game itself.

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.
