Barragan

What is Barragan?

The Ministry of Finance of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has reaffirmed it holds sole authority to oversee the nation’s gambling sector.

In a press release dated 27 August, the DRC’s Ministry of Finance reminded gambling operators that Ordinance No. 25/293 formally transferred responsibility for regulating the sector from the Ministry of Sports and Leisure to its own remit.

In the Ministry of Finance’s view, this ended “any institutional ambiguity” over who should oversee the DRC’s gambling industry.

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.

Framing the acquisition as the latest step in the company’s online expansion, Merkur supervisory board Chairman Michael Gauselmann stated: “Having made early inroads into the online space in Europe via our Blueprint acquisition in 2012, I am delighted by this latest development and am confident that White Hat Studios will be a great addition to our group.” 

In recent weeks, the gambling sector paid tribute to Paul Gauselmann after the Merkur Group founder passed away at the age of 91.
