Hungry Hungry Hippos has joined the live casino queue
Hungry Hungry Hippos in a live casino game show? That's quite an entrance. Evolution's upcoming Game Night pairs it with Connect 4, Battleship, Snakes and Ladders and Rock Paper Scissors. Casino Plus players got an invitation-only preview in Makati, Philippines, on 30 October. [s1]
The operator describes a 54-segment wheel with multipliers on every spin and those five bonus games. Presenter Karen Bordador hosted the preview, ahead of commercial release. [s1]
A whole games cupboard in one show is an appealing idea. Whether the bonuses feel genuinely different is the question for the full reveal; this announcement doesn't confirm a worldwide launch date. [s1]
Coming up: Kevin Hart takes a turn behind the table
Put 6 and 7 November in the diary if you're curious about a comedian sharing the live studio with the regular hosts. Pragmatic Play has announced four Kevin Hart sessions across those dates, with the actual games to be revealed on the day. This is an upcoming event announced on 19 October, rather than a new release from the week just ended. [s2]
The accompanying promotion excludes the UK and US, with further local restrictions possible. Its next phase runs from 2 to 7 November, awarding Free Chips randomly in selected games for use during the live events. The eligible list includes Mega Wheel, Amazing Baccarat and Money Time; that list isn't a confirmed running order for Hart's appearances. [s2] [s3]
Slot detour: pirates have raided the sweet shop
Sweet Loot, announced on 29 October, gives Pragmatic Play's gummy pirates something more interesting to hunt than another chest of gold. The little extra reel above the main grid carries multiplier symbols. A multiplier only contributes when its symbol is part of a winning combination, so watching that top row is the game's neat visual hook. [s4] [s5]
In ordinary free spins, at least one multiplier overlay appears on each spin. Super Free Spins take that further by putting overlays on every symbol in the top row. The distinction is worth understanding: a multiplier appearing doesn't by itself mean you've landed a winning combination. This is a slot, not a live-dealer game, and the supplier's release announcement doesn't establish availability at your casino. [s5]
Prefer a wheel without the board games?
Our live roulette guide explains the familiar table bets and the differences between wheel types. It's a useful starting point if you'd rather follow a ball around numbered pockets than wait for the hippos. [s6]
About this edition
Coverage: 26 October-1 November 2026; sources checked on 2 November. Game Night is a preview, Hart's sessions are still upcoming, and Sweet Loot is the week's live-adjacent release. We checked original operator and supplier material, not hands-on play. Casino availability remains local. Sweet Loot's announcement and product page disagree on grid dimensions, so we've left those out. [s1] [s2] [s4] [s5]
