The DOCV, another trade body representing licensed online casino operators in Germany, also expressed support for the prosecutorial efforts. However, it emphasised that the raid exposed regulatory gaps which had allowed organised crime to flourish.

Kevin O’Neal, a DOCV board member, argued the scale of the investigation calls the GGL’s broader black market estimates into question. He cited the regulator’s 2025 activity report, which put the 2024 share at 23% (€547 million in gross gaming revenue), against Nielsen data suggesting a share of around 56%.

The trade body has long been critical over the discrepancy between channelisation estimates made by the regulator, and other independent reviewers.

The company reported approximately £3.6 billion of net debt at the end of June, with reported leverage of 3.1x underlying EBITDA. Online underlying EBITDA fell 5% in the first half despite 7% growth in online net gaming revenue. The tax impact has been substantial.

The UK government increased Remote Gaming Duty (RGD) from 21% to 40% from 1 April. Then from April 2027, a new 25% General Betting Duty rate for remote betting will apply, although remote bets on UK horse racing are excluded from the new rate.

Entain said the higher RGD had a £56 million negative impact on first-half EBITDA. In Britain, operators are dealing with government policy and higher taxes. In America, the main threat is competition. The problems are different, but they hit the same group of stocks.

The commercial hook is scale. According to the developer, the sequel aims to deliver a more volatile experience, supported by a top payout of 40,000 times the stake. That figure sits above the original. It signals a deliberate move toward the higher end of Nolimit City’s already extreme-volatility catalog.

The release carries the studio’s familiar configuration approach. Duck Hunters 2 launches with a 96.00% RTP configuration as its highest available setting, alongside alternative versions with RTP levels of 94.05% and 92.01%. The game carries an extreme volatility rating and allows bets ranging from €0.20 to €100 per spin.

The reason Duck Hunters 2 is worth flagging as news is what its format says about where the wider market has landed. Position-multiplier math, in which individual grid cells accumulate multipliers across cascading wins, has become one of the most widely adopted mechanical families in modern slot design.
