What is Happy Fishing?
Earlier this year Merkur Group agreed to acquire the slots provider White Hat Studios. Merkur said the acquisition, which is subject to regulatory approvals, would “further accelerate” its US expansion, complementing its 2025 purchase of the Nevada-licensed supplier Gaming Arts.
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.

Spectrum’s report was subsequently commissioned by Evolution to refute Black Cube’s accusations. In its latest release on Wednesday, Playtech said Evolution had “publicly characterised the Spectrum Report as exonerating it”.
But Playtech has claimed that the Spectrum report, which is now publicly available, was unable “to confirm or refute” some of Black Cube’s claims, “as Evolution failed to provide Spectrum with significant information it had requested”.

That comment underlines the studio’s intent. Distinct, legible mechanics that combine into escalating outcomes, a design philosophy Play’n GO has increasingly leaned on to differentiate titles within saturated themes.
For operators, the value is a slot that carries a well-trodden theme but a more flexible bonus proposition than most buffalo-style games, giving players several routes into the feature set. Triple Beasts of Fortune is out now.
Whether the layered-feature concept is enough to lift the release above the many similar animal-themed slots already in the market will depend on how players respond to a collection-driven structure without a buy option. Still, the combinable-bonus design is the clearest sign of where Play’n GO is putting its differentiation effort.
