BetMGM anticipates full year EBITDA to be at the ‘lower end’ of expectations despite a Q1 revenue increase

(AsiaGameHub) -   Entain anticipates a more muted performance from its North America-focused BetMGM joint venture, at a time when the London Stock Exchange-listed group’s share price is experiencing volatile trading. In a Q1 trading update, Entain—along with its JV partner MGM Resorts—projects BetMGM’s net FY2026 revenue to range between $2.9bn-$3.1bn (£2.1bn-£2.2bn). This would signal continued growth compared to the $2.8bn recorded last year. However, Entain noted it expects BetMGM’s adjusted EBITDA to land at the ‘lower end’ of the forecasted $300m-$350m range. This comes despite adjusted EBITDA climbing 11% to $25m (Q1 2025: $22m) in the first three months of the year. By segment, iGaming continued to outperform sportsbook revenue: the former hit $481m, while the latter reached $203m. These figures represent year-over-year growth of 9% (from $443m) and 4% (from $194m), respectively. BetMGM’s total net revenue stood at $696m, a 6% year-over-year increase from Q1 2025’s $657m. The company remains committed to its goal of hitting $500m in adjusted EBITDA by FY2027. Entain emphasized the significance of BetMGM’s iGaming product during the quarter, citing strong player engagement momentum. Meanwhile, the slower growth in sports betting revenue was attributed to player-friendly sports results and ‘increased promotional generosity’. “Although it has been a steady start to the year, BetMGM is delivering on our strategic plan, carrying forward the initiatives that drove our transformation in 2025,” said Adam Greenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of BetMGM. “We are generating sustainable, profitable growth and paying cash to our parent companies. Our iGaming business is growing at scale, and our Online Sports business continues to strengthen despite a challenging market in Q1. “As we look to the rest of the year, we will continue to focus on our areas of strength, particularly in iGaming, multi‑product states, omnichannel in Nevada, and servicing our premium mass sports players. “These give us confidence that we will deliver on our updated 2026 guidance as well as continue on the path to $500m of Adjusted EBITDA in 2027.” Entain’s shares get no relief following BetMGM update Entain’s shares plummeted to a 12-month low immediately after the announcement, dropping from 559.4p to 526.6p between 12:00-12:05pm GMT. The 526.6p price is notable as it matches the lowest level Entain’s shares have traded at since early April 2025. Shares have since partially recovered: at the time of writing (25 minutes later, at 12:30pm), the company’s share price was 544.4p. The London-headquartered, Isle of Man-domiciled operator is at risk of falling out of the LSE’s FTSE 100, currently ranking 98th on the index with a shrinking market cap of £3.48bn. It would need further declines to drop off London’s prestigious public company list in the FTSE Russell’s June quarterly review, but Harbour Energy—an oil and gas firm and FTSE 250 member—now has a higher market cap (£4.47bn) than the Stella David-led company. Other FTSE 250 firms with larger market caps than Entain include Ithaca Energy (£4.25bn), Investec (£4.03bn), Balfour Beatty (£3.96bn) and Aberdeen Group (£3.70bn). Another major concern for Entain’s investors and analysts is the UK tax situation. Remote Gaming Duty (RGD) rose from 21% to 40% earlier this month, and this heavier tax burden is expected to trigger a major restructuring of the British market—key for Entain as operator of the Ladbrokes Coral high-street and online brands. Investors will also closely watch the New York Stock Exchange when trading opens in a few hours to check MGM Resorts International’s share price activity. Its stock has been an outlier in the iGaming space over the past 12 months, gaining market favor and rising over 24% to $36.75. However, it remains to be seen how the market will react to today’s update. This article is provided by a third-party.

马克龙因伊朗与真主党政策受到批评，特朗普政府主办以色列与黎巴嫩谈判

(SeaPRwire) -   法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙正因缺乏对唐纳德·特朗普总统对伊朗战争的支持，以及要求将黎巴嫩纳入当前停火协议而面临新的批评——与此同时，以色列和黎巴嫩之间的历史性会谈将于周二开始。这场由特朗普总统斡旋、在曾是法国委任统治地的黎巴嫩与以色列之间举行的历史性会议将在大使级别进行，各方对达成协议的希望逐渐升温——最引人注目的是，法国没有参与其中。美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥预计将主持两国大使的会谈。《耶路撒冷邮报》报道称，以色列政府要求将法国排除在会谈之外。一名以色列官员告诉该报：“法国过去一年的行为——包括旨在限制以色列在伊朗作战能力的举措，以及完全不愿采取具体步骤帮助黎巴嫩解除真主党的武装——导致以色列将法国视为不公正的调解人。”周一，真主党领导人纳伊姆·卡西姆呼吁黎巴嫩政府取消周二在华盛顿举行的会议，同时称这些会谈毫无意义。卡西姆在电视讲话中表示，该武装组织将继续对抗以色列对黎巴嫩的袭击。今年3月，在美国和以色列联合袭击伊朗伊斯兰共和国后，真主党违反停火协议，加入其支持者伊朗一方参战，向以色列发射火箭弹。尽管如此，马克龙仍要求以色列停止袭击真主党在黎巴嫩的恐怖基础设施。以色列预备役准将约瑟夫·库珀瓦瑟告诉Digital：“马克龙正在违背黎巴嫩国家和政府的最佳利益。这是一个非常有问题的方向。”他指责马克龙“站在真主党一边，使真主党正常化，因为他专注于‘狭隘利益’。”以色列国防军军事情报局前研究主管库珀瓦瑟补充说：“美国人希望我们与黎巴嫩方面以及（黎巴嫩的）军队接触。我们的期望非常相似。我们希望看到黎巴嫩对真主党采取实际行动，而不仅仅是发表声明和承诺。我们相信，自从他们3月2日决定发射导弹以来，我们通过削弱真主党的军事力量帮助了他们。如果取得突破，黎巴嫩将获益良多，但前提是必须‘解除真主党的武装’。”以色列外交部没有立即回应Digital的置评请求。多年来，马克龙一直面临使真主党正常化的指责。与德国、美国、加拿大、荷兰、日本、奥地利以及许多其他西方和非西方国家不同，他的政府拒绝将真主党整个组织列为恐怖实体。法国已将真主党的“军事派别”列为恐怖组织，但拒绝禁止其“政治派别”。真主党认为自己是一个没有分支的统一运动。法国政治家弗朗索瓦-格扎维埃·贝拉米是欧洲议会共和党成员，他上周在法国电视上表示：“法国必须停止使真主党正常化。”据巴黎日报《费加罗报》报道，马克龙在2020年因与一名当选的真主党高级官员进行私下交谈而引发公愤。出生于黎巴嫩的以色列真主党安全专家埃迪·科恩告诉Digital：“法国被迫不反对真主党，以便使其在黎巴嫩的参与合法化。”一名法国外交官告诉《以色列时报》：“我们希望的不是参加会议的资格，而是以色列停止对黎巴嫩的进攻。”当被问及法国是否会向黎巴嫩施压，要求其承认以色列是一个国家时，法国外交部发言人帕斯卡尔·孔法夫勒告诉“Sunday”：“伊朗必须停止通过真主党恐吓以色列，因为真主党选择将黎巴嫩卷入一场不属于黎巴嫩的战争……黎巴嫩必须被纳入停火协议，这是我们正在外交上推动的事情。”他还表示，我们支持黎巴嫩和以色列之间的直接会谈。目前尚不清楚法国是否要求在会谈中拥有席位。Digital已向法国驻华盛顿和特拉维夫大使馆发送了多份新闻查询。周六，马克龙再次表达了他对停火的渴望，并在X上写道，他与伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽什基安进行了讨论：“我强调了全面遵守停火协议的重要性，包括在黎巴嫩。法国全力支持黎巴嫩当局的行动，只有他们才有权合法行使国家主权并决定黎巴嫩的命运。”黎巴嫩及该地区专家瓦利德·法雷斯告诉Digital，尽管会谈很重要，但仍存在问题。“这是大使级别的会谈，意味着它不会达到最高决策水平。”他补充说：“奇怪的是，黎巴嫩总统和总理拒绝邀请黎巴嫩外交部长参加华盛顿会谈，这促使以色列也以大使级别参与，表明真主党仍对黎巴嫩政府有强大影响力。该民兵组织正遭到当地民众的反对，担心在华盛顿举行的会议会进一步孤立真主党。”黎巴嫩力量党议员塞特里达·吉亚吉亚在以黎会谈前在X上发布了一封致黎巴嫩议会强大议长、什叶派阿迈勒运动领导人纳比·贝里的公开信。她间接批评了真主党及其在国内的恐怖军队。吉亚吉亚呼吁贝里团结黎巴嫩人，让他们“由一支统一的军队保护”。她的信没有点名真主党，但指出年轻的什叶派教徒被卷入了一场与他们无关的战争，这场冲突实际上是伊朗为报复2月28日美以联合战争暗杀伊朗伊斯兰共和国最高领袖阿里·哈梅内伊而做出的决定。美国国务院没有立即回应Digital的新闻查询。路透社对本报道有贡献。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

ADI Predictstreet secures DAZN collaboration amid delayed integration

(AsiaGameHub) -   ADI Predictstreet has secured another major partnership in the sports industry, aligning with the global sports streaming service DAZN. This follows the recent announcement that the Gibraltar-based prediction platform became FIFA's official prediction market partner for the 2026 World Cup. DAZN, headquartered in London, will incorporate ADI Predictstreet into its service to bolster its offering of live and on-demand sports, scores, news, betting, gaming, and FanZone features. This agreement represents another alliance with a sports giant for ADI Predictstreet, coming just weeks after its formation. The platform itself experienced a hesitant launch last week, with all current markets showing $0 in wagers. Notably, a "join the waitlist" prompt suggests the service may still be in a pre-launch or soft launch phase. The display of USD instead of Gibraltar's GIP currency is also curious, as only Gibraltar residents are legally permitted to place bets. These factors may all point to an ongoing testing period before a full launch. ADI Predictstreet markets The company's activities will be closely monitored in the coming months as it scales operations ahead of and during the 2026 World Cup. According to DAZN, this partnership merges sports with prediction. ADI Predictstreet will provide interactive features and unique experiences linked to major sporting events. The company stated that prediction will become an integral "native part of the fan experience," allowing fans to interact with markets and gain probabilistic insights. “DAZN is redefining sports entertainment by making it more immersive, interactive and connected for every fan,” said Shay Segev, Chief Executive Officer of DAZN Group. “Partnering with ADI Predictstreet allows us to embed real‑time prediction directly into the live viewing experience, turning insight and sentiment into a native part of how fans engage with the world’s biggest sporting moments. “With the FIFA World Cup 2026 as a catalyst and our platform as the engine, this partnership is a major step forward in how fans experience sport.” The World Cup will act as a "launchpad," with the partnership covering DAZN's entire portfolio. ADI Predictstreet is planned for subsequent rollout across other major leagues and events to increase engagement further. ADI Predictstreet’s rocky start These significant deals provide their own momentum for the prediction market. Although it just received its first license in Gibraltar last month, partnerships with FIFA and DAZN are likely to provide crucial exposure for its launch. However, its rapid rise has attracted scrutiny. Questions have been raised about FIFA's choice of partner, while investigative reports have highlighted past controversies involving CEO Dimitrios Psarrakis and Principal Council Member Ajay Hans Raj Bhatia, who was photographed with FIFA President Gianni Infantino at the partnership announcement. Journalists have examined Psarrakis' connection to the 'Qatargate' scandal, and Bhatia is reported to have been involved in insider trading, allegedly paying £130,000 to India’s Security & Exchange Board (SEBI) to settle charges. In a statement to the Norwegian outlet Josimar, the company addressed criticism of Psarrakis: “Dimitrios has never been charged with any wrongdoing. Today, he remains a globally recognised blockchain expert and a speaker at top-tier universities, international organisations, as well as professional summits on FinTech, RegTech, Blockchain and the Digital Disruption of Banking and Financial Services around the globe.” Given this series of events, ADI Predictstreet was destined for media attention. After a controversial beginning, the company will now be looking toward a more successful future. Commenting on the deal, Psarrakis said: “This partnership marks a defining moment in how audiences will experience sport. By combining DAZN’s unmatched reach with ADI Predictstreet’s real-time participation layer, we are transforming fans from spectators into active participants. “This is not just an evolution of engagement, it is the creation of a new category where technology, collective intelligence, and global events intersect at scale.” This article is provided by a third-party.

HKTDC launches GoGlobal Connect to help mainland firms go global via Hong Kong

HONG KONG, Apr 14, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In view of the growing and increasingly pressing demand from mainland enterprises to go global, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has launched GoGlobal Connect. This will leverage the resources of HKTDC’s 51 offices worldwide to strengthen its service offerings and facilitate more effective connections between mainland enterprises and Hong Kong’s professional service providers, while strengthening ties to explore global business opportunities and enhance Hong Kong’s role as an international platform.The GoGlobal Connect launch ceremony was held today at the HKTDC SME Service Centre. The ceremony was officiated by Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the Hong Kong SAR Government, and Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC. It was witnessed by more than 200 enterprise representatives of mainland enterprises and Hong Kong service providers.In his welcoming remarks, Prof Ma said: “According to the World Trade Organization’s latest report, Hong Kong rose to become the world’s fifth-largest merchandise trading economy in 2025, reflecting the strong resilience of Hong Kong’s external trade and reaffirming its status as an international trade centre. This year marks the launch of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan. The HKTDC will take a proactive approach to help Hong Kong better integrate into and serve the nation’s overall development strategy. Through the newly launched GoGlobal Connect initiative, we will leverage Hong Kong’s strengths in internationally oriented professional services to lower the threshold for mainland enterprises to go global and support their steady and well‑managed overseas expansion.”In his opening remarks, Algernon Yau said that the HKTDC officially launched the GoGlobal Connect service today, along with an enhanced cross-sectoral professional services platform, further strengthening the support provided by the GoGlobal Task Force for mainland enterprises. He said: “The Task Force will continue to actively advance various initiatives, including attracting strategically valuable mainland enterprises to develop their businesses in Hong Kong. At the same time, we will continue to organise promotional and matchmaking events across different sectoral themes in Hong Kong and the mainland, and invite mainland enterprises to join overseas business missions, allowing them to gain first-hand understanding of local market situations.”Helping mainland enterprises go globalThe HKTDC’s GoGlobal Connect initiative will provide support in four key areas, by:Establishing a cross-sectoral professional services platform, which brings together professional service providers from eight key sectors to facilitate connections with mainland enterprises;Setting up GoGlobal Connect zones at HKTDC’s flagship events, where service providers can offer on-site consultations;Incorporating GoGlobal Connect elements into trade promotion activities held in the Chinese Mainland, to promote Hong Kong as a platform for enterprises going global;Leveraging the HKTDC’s global network to strengthen market connections.The GoGlobal Connect service will also be available at the HKTDC SME Service Centre.Following the launch ceremony, Yao Chenpeng, Vice President of Transfar Group, a mainland enterprise, shared the company’s plans to establish an overseas business headquarters in Hong Kong. He said that the Group’s overseas business has continued to grow in recent years, necessitating the establishment of an international management centre to handle matters such as tax planning and overseas contracts, and that the professional services available in Hong Kong are well placed to meet the company’s needs.He noted that after sharing the idea with the HKTDC in July last year, the Council promptly arranged meetings between the Group and relevant government departments, major chambers of commerce and industry associations in Hong Kong. The HKTDC also introduced the Group to Hong Kong professional service providers to help it understand the incentives and procedures for establishing operations in Hong Kong and to build business networks.Subsequently, at the Belt and Road Summit held in September last year, the HKTDC introduced professional service providers to the Group and facilitated the signing of cooperation agreements, providing practical support for the Group’s global expansion plans.A survey conducted in the Chinese Mainland by the HKTDC earlier this year among more than 2,000 mainland enterprises showed that 83% plan to leverage Hong Kong’s professional services to support their global expansion, a significant increase from 62% from a similar survey conducted in 2023. The findings underscore Hong Kong’s strengths as the preferred service platform for mainland enterprises going global.The Hong Kong SAR Government recently set up the GoGlobal Task Force and launched a thematic website in March (www.goglobal.gov.hk). The website includes a link to HKTDC’s cross-sectoral professional services platform, which provides one-stop information and professional support for mainland enterprises seeking to expand overseas via Hong Kong, helping them better leverage Hong Kong’s diverse international strengths to plan and implement their global expansion strategies. The platform has recently enhanced its service provider database and optimized the user interface. In the second half of the year, we will onboard more service providers and continue to improve the platform and matching functions to deliver more comprehensive support to mainland enterprises.Photo download: https://bit.ly/4tCTfVWThe GoGlobal Connect launch ceremony was held at the HKTDC SME Service Centre.

KSA Remains Confident in the Market’s Player Protection Capabilities

(AsiaGameHub) -   A probe into how easily minors in the Netherlands can access gambling services has resulted in increased collaboration between licensed operators and the country’s regulator, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA). The regulator was prompted to launch the investigation in 2025 after receiving multiple reports of minors successfully creating accounts with legal online gambling providers. A small set of findings— which the KSA noted do not represent the overall state of the Dutch market— revealed that minors were bypassing strict ID checks during registration by using another person’s bank account, such as that of a parent or a legally aged friend. When the KSA approached online gambling providers to discuss the issue, it received feedback that there was no immediate solution available to address it. However, the regulator has now announced that such a solution “is now available” and will be highlighted during an upcoming technical session with the licensed sector, though the date of this session has not yet been disclosed. Overall, no serious violations were recorded, with the KSA concluding that it is “virtually impossible” for minors to gamble with licensed operators, and that this activity primarily occurs on black market gambling platforms. Michel Groothuizen, Chairman of the KSA, commented: “The KSA is deeply concerned about underage gambling. Fortunately, it turns out this rarely happens with license holders, but we do have clear signs that it still occurs.” “That activity takes place on the illegal market. Illegal providers often have no or low age verification standards and target this young demographic with advertising— for example, via TikTok. “This is extremely harmful, so the KSA is committed to combating illegal supply. We are also placing a stronger focus on educating minors to make them aware of the risks of gambling.” Legal action against offshore operators has been ramping up recently in the Netherlands. Novatech and Fortaprime SRL were the latest to face penalties from the KSA, with fines of €24.9m and €1.8m respectively. It appears the licensed market has had enough of Novatech in particular, as Nederlandse Loterij— the largest legal gambling operator in the domestic market— has initiated its own legal action against the offshore competitor, at a time when channelisation rates are constantly threatened by the growing prominence of illegal gambling.

Concerns Raised Over Curaçao Gambling Authority’s Credibility After Dutch Legal Challenge to Operator Qbet

(AsiaGameHub) -   A national media organization in Curaçao is now casting doubt on the nation's gambling laws after the Nederlandse Loterij initiated legal action against Qbet, which is owned by Novatech. This development follows the Nederlandse Loterij describing the Curaçao-based and licensed operator as "the largest illegal gambling site" in the Netherlands. It also comes after a series of fines have been issued in the Netherlands and throughout Europe to companies headquartered in Curaçao. Numerous firms holding Curaçao licenses, such as Stake, Santeda International, and the previously mentioned Novatech, have repeatedly appeared in regulatory statements. The last two companies also manage a vast network of subsidiaries that have faced fines or investigation for either having weak security protocols or for operating in jurisdictions where they are not authorized. This situation has started to worry the country's media, which is beginning to voice apprehensions regarding the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA). An anonymous opinion piece in the Curaçao Chronicle stated: “For years, Curaçao has been known as one of the world’s most accessible licensing hubs for online gambling. That position has brought economic benefits, from licensing fees to international business activity. “But it has also created a system where the line between legitimate operations and questionable practices is often blurred. “The current case in The Hague reflects a shift in how regulators are approaching the problem. Authorities are no longer focusing solely on the visible front end – the gambling websites themselves – but are increasingly targeting the infrastructure behind them. “Trust offices, payment processors, and corporate structures are now part of the legal conversation. That shift matters for Curaçao. “Because whether policymakers on the island like it or not, Curaçao is part of that infrastructure. The presence of locally registered entities in international cases is not incidental. It is structural. And that means the island cannot dismiss these developments as foreign legal disputes with no local relevance.” The debate also highlights wider fears about Curaçao's standing internationally. As regulators worldwide intensify their examination of online gambling, there is a growing recognition that being viewed as having lax supervision could negatively impact the island's entire financial services industry. Concurrently, industry representatives point out that corporate service providers are not enforcement agencies and might have limited insight into their clients' international operations. Fraud specialist Alex Wood, who investigated the unlicensed market and directly experienced the risks these sites pose to consumers, shared this view. He managed to register on certain sites, many of which are owned by Santeda, using identities of fictional characters, racehorse trainers, racehorses, and individuals below the legal gambling age. Nevertheless, he cautioned that legally confronting these operators would be a monumental challenge, as payment service providers and social media platforms also benefit from the expansion of the black market. Wood stated plainly: “When it’s cross-border like that, it’s impossible.” However, calls from the Curaçao media to strengthen gambling regulations could mark a pivotal moment. If domestically licensed operators faced more rigorous rules, the spread of their brands into illegal markets might be reduced. The Curaçao Gaming Authority, despite being a popular jurisdiction for operators, has been relatively lenient in addressing international problems related to its licensees conducting illegal activities. In July 2025, the regulator reached an out-of-court settlement amounting to 360,000 Caribbean Guilder (£148,700) with 12 anonymous online casino operators, following a criminal probe that uncovered extensive shortcomings in verifying player identities. This amounts to a fine of approximately £12,391.67 per operator—a trifling sum relative to the revenues these companies are likely generating. Curaçao Gaming Authority introduces new reforms Reforms unveiled today could signal a move toward more stringent regulations, as the authority rolls out new compliance guidelines as part of a comprehensive restructuring of the island's gambling industry under the National Ordinance for Games of Chance (LOK). The rules, set to take effect starting in October 2026, mandate that licensed operators bolster their terms and conditions and adhere to more rigorous regulatory standards. These changes prioritize transparency and consumer protection, with the goal of improving the jurisdiction's credibility and its heavily criticized reputation. Operators are required to provide clear, easy-to-understand terms, guarantee that users explicitly accept them, and openly disclose their identity verification and anti-money laundering processes. The updated framework also brings in tougher penalties, where non-compliant businesses risk fines, license suspension, or cancellation, indicating a potential island-wide move to a more strictly controlled setting. However, as suggested by the country's own media, these new rules might be insufficient. The article went on: “Laws on paper are not enough. What matters is enforcement, consistency, and the willingness to act when standards are not met. “There is also a reputational dimension that cannot be ignored. In an increasingly interconnected world, perception matters. If Curaçao is seen as a weak link in the global regulatory chain, that perception will have consequences, not only for the gambling sector but for the broader financial services industry. “The island faces a clear choice. It can continue to operate in a reactive mode, responding to international pressure case by case, or it can take a proactive approach and define its own standards for what responsible participation in the global digital economy looks like. “The ongoing case in the Netherlands is not just a legal dispute abroad. It is a mirror. And what Curaçao chooses to see – and to do – will shape its position in the global economy for years to come.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Kambi praises Google partnership as a clear testament to its esports expertise

(AsiaGameHub) -   Kambi is expanding beyond the sports betting sector through a collaboration with Google, seeking to improve the tech giant's esports offerings. Under this agreement, Kambi will supply Google with various esports data sets, such as schedules, match results, statistics, team and player details, and scores. The covered titles feature major games like League of Legends, Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and Valorant. These data packages come from Abios, Kambi's dedicated esports arm. Werner Becher, Chief Executive Officer of Kambi Group, stated: “Teaming up with Google marks a major milestone for Kambi and Abios, serving as a strong validation of the sophisticated data infrastructure and expertise we've built over the years. “Leveraging Google's worldwide reach, this partnership will enhance how global audiences access and experience esports data.” Notably, the agreement does not mention gambling. This seems to be Kambi's first venture outside its traditional betting and gaming market, where it has operated since starting in 2010. Established in Sweden with its main office in Malta, Kambi originally had Swedish B2C betting firm Kindred as a majority stakeholder until a sale in 2014.  Over the next nine years, Kambi gained greater independence from Kindred, finishing with the full repayment of a multi-million euro loan in 2023. Nevertheless, Kindred and its Unibet and 32red brands—currently under French group FDJ United—continue to be a major client for Kambi. The Google partnership comes after a busy period for Kambi in the sportsbook sector, during which it signed agreements to provide its technology and data to entities such as France's PMU, Swedish peer Comeon Group, and Finnish startup SuomiVeto. For its part, the IT and search behemoth Google notes that it intends to deliver more comprehensive esports features to fans via Google Search and the Google App.  Marvin Brischke, EMEA Sports Partnerships Lead at Google, commented: “Esports is seeing rising global popularity, and we are happy to collaborate with Kambi and Abios to expand the range of esports information we offer our users.” Interested in more similar stories?

2025年恐怖热门电影的导演们将制作一部合金装备电影

Konami(SeaPRwire) -   过去三十年来，一直有人在共同努力，让电子游戏更具电影感。1996年的《生化危机》（Resident Evil）、大卫·凯奇（David Cage）的互动叙事风格，甚至是最近的《战神》（God of War）复兴，都指向了一个趋势：游戏开发者正试图通过借鉴好莱坞的叙事和视觉惯例，从而让游戏被更严肃地对待。而在整个游戏界，有一个名字作为最坚定的“电影制作人”脱颖而出：小岛秀夫（Hideo Kojima）。小岛秀夫负责了《死亡搁浅》（Death Stranding）及其最近的续作，以及虽然短命但广受赞誉的《P.T.》，而他最著名的成就则是《合金装备》（Metal Gear Solid）系列。作为有史以来最受喜爱且最具突破性的系列之一，初代《合金装备》（MGS）教会了玩家和开发者，电子游戏可以成功地模仿电影，同时又不失其作为独特媒介的本色。如今，近30年后，这款改变了一切的游戏终于要登上曾启发过它的银幕了。传奇超级间谍索利德·斯内克（Solid Snake）的制作之路显然并不平坦。 | KonamiThe Hollywood Reporter 最近透露，在经历了漫长的开发地狱后，《合金装备》电影终于重新启动。这一次，它由扎克·利波夫斯基（Zach Lipovsky）和亚当·斯坦（Adam Stein）组成的导演团队执导，他们是去年大获成功的《死神来了：血脉》（Final Destination: Bloodlines）背后的电影制作人。《合金装备》的银幕之旅漫长而坎坷；关于改编的讨论自2008年以来就在好莱坞流传，克里斯蒂安·贝尔（Christian Bale）、保罗·W·S·安德森（Paul W.S. Anderson）甚至大卫·海特（David Hayter，索利德·斯内克的原版配音演员）等演员和电影制作人都曾参与其中。这部电影上一次取得实质性进展是在2014年，当时由执导过《金刚：骷髅岛》（Kong: Skull Island）的乔丹·沃格特-罗伯茨（Jordan Vogt-Roberts）担任导演。奥斯卡·伊萨克（Oscar Isaac）曾于2020年被宣布饰演索利德·斯内克（Solid Snake），但随后更新便中断了。初代《合金装备》既是前两部《合金装备》（Metal Gear）游戏的续作，也是其重启之作。故事讲述了特种兵索利德·斯内克（Solid Snake）执行一项渗透核武器设施的任务，目的是摧毁 FOXHOUND——一个拥有名为“合金装备”（Metal Gear）的步行核武器，且与斯内克本人有着私人联系的恐怖组织。作为对西方间谍电影惊险刺激风格的情书，《合金装备》的时间线和背景设定极其复杂，像《合金装备3：食蛇者》（Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater）这样的游戏作为前传，讲述了 Big Boss 的故事。他是一位反英雄，偶尔也是反派，其 DNA 被用来创造了他的“儿子”索利德·斯内克。《食蛇者》（Snake Eater）中的事件对于塑造索利德·斯内克（Solid Snake）所处的那个饱受战争蹂躏、充满偏执的未来至关重要。 | Konami对于一部单部电影来说，跳过前两款游戏直接进入《合金装备》（Metal Gear Solid）是最有意义的。原作提供的背景信息可以很容易地通过闪回或解说来阐述，而《合金装备》凭借其惊心动魄的间谍反转和歌剧般的家庭剧，仍然是电子游戏电影化叙事的基准。然而，也有观点认为该系列应该从《食蛇者》（Snake Eater）的事件开始，这部前传记录了 Naked Snake 悲剧性地转变为冷酷雇佣兵 Big Boss 的过程。游戏的叙事为之后发生的一切奠定了基础，从头开始不仅对粉丝来说是一个令人惊讶的选择，而且还会将主题焦点转向 Big Boss 的故事——一个父亲因为自己的错误演变成无休止的战争，而被迫与儿子发生冲突的故事。但无论我们是先见到索利德·斯内克还是他那反派父亲，电影带着新鲜血液重回正轨这一事实，对于那些等待了几十年、渴望看到小岛秀夫宏大史诗被搬上银幕的粉丝来说，都应该是一线曙光。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

七年后，曼达洛人与古古加入星球大战的一贯传统

Lucasfilm(SeaPRwire) -   《星球大战》或许是电影史上最充满动作场面的太空歌剧之一，但原版三部曲比你记忆中的要短。即使你坐下来一口气看完前三部电影，也不会比连续观看《Andor》第一季更长。然而，随着时间的推移，《星球大战》电影变得越来越长，《The Last Jedi》时长为2小时32分钟，与第一部《Avengers》电影差不多。现在，我们有一个新的数据点可以添加到这个列表中：即将上映的衍生电影《The Mandalorian and Grogu》基于Disney+系列《The Mandalorian》，其时长将与许多其他《星球大战》独立电影相当。尽管存在持续的争议，但这进一步证明这部电影始终是为大银幕而制作的，即使这意味着我们不会看到《The Mandalorian》第四季。丁·贾林和他的小护卫格罗古将于今年5月占据银幕132分钟。 | Lucasfilm根据多家影院连锁的数据，《The Mandalorian and Grogu》时长为132分钟，或者说，对于不熟悉电影时长的人来说，是2小时12分钟。它可能比许多《星球大战》旗舰电影短：比整个前传三部曲短，与续集三部曲中最短的《The Force Awakens》时长完全相同，但对于衍生电影来说，这是一个非常合适的时长。例如，2008年的动画电影《Clone Wars》是迄今为止最短的《星球大战》电影，仅1小时38分钟。但其他所有独立电影的时长都在130分钟左右：《Solo》为2小时15分钟，还有一部为2小时13分钟。《The Mandalorian and Grogu》的太空角斗士动作场面时长将与《Rogue One》或《Solo》相当。那么，这样一个标准的时长告诉我们关于《The Mandalorian and Grogu》的什么信息呢？它实际上解决了围绕这部电影的最大争议之一。许多粉丝担心《The Mandalorian and Grogu》要么太长要么太短：太长是因为将一季的故事压缩到一部电影中，太短则是因为其原始媒介是电视。但这个时长表明这些担忧都是没有根据的。《The Mandalorian and Grogu》不是《The Mandalorian》的电影版，而是一部使用该系列相同主要角色的电影。这可能是第一部基于现有电视剧的《星球大战》电影（与《The Clone Wars》这部开启了一个系列的电影不同），但粉丝们应该准备好体验与之前的焦点电影一样的内容：130分钟左右的银河动作场面。《The Mandalorian and Grogu》将于2026年5月22日在影院首映。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Lucasfilm(SeaPRwire) -   每个反派都是自己故事里的英雄，这一点在《星球大战》的各个方面都曾被多次探讨。从阿纳金·天行者堕入黑暗面到《阿索卡》中“陌生人”的阴谋，《星球大战》已经无数次证明了英雄之旅并非只适用于那些善良的英雄角色。在对“神话原型”的研究中，并没有真正意义上的“反派之旅”，但通过《Maul — Shadow Lord》，《星球大战》系列似乎在暗示，曾经的西斯反派也可能像英雄一样看待自己的故事。在《Shadow Lord》第三集“未知的低语”中，莫尔与德文的一场决斗中有一个非常特殊的时刻，暗示着这个版本的《星球大战》对约瑟夫·坎贝尔的英雄之旅中的一个关键环节有着高度的认知，并将其应用于黑暗面。以下内容包含剧透。故事发生在《克隆人战争》（事件和同名电视剧）结束不久之后，《Shadow Lord》正在讲述莫尔作为犯罪头目的第二阶段。我们在《克隆人战争》中看到了他如何崛起成为犯罪头目，到了《游侠索罗》（比《Shadow Lord》晚约十年）时，他已经控制了多个主要的犯罪集团。而到了《义军崛起》时期，莫尔再次陷入困境，并试图博取年轻绝地武士埃兹拉·布里杰的同情，这位年轻的绝地武士可能理解也可能不理解他过去的西斯身份。这听起来熟悉吗？应该如此。莫尔在《Shadow Lord》中对德文所做的许多事情，都让人联想到他后来对埃兹拉使用的那些伎俩。最大的区别在于，《Shadow Lord》中的莫尔比在《义军崛起》中更加自信和坦诚地谈论自己的过去。关键在于，他的一些说服手段，在此时此刻，是莫尔的经典招数。即使在《克隆人战争》中，他也曾试图说服阿索卡，也许他们精神上是同一边的——这是他在《Shadow Lord》中试图对德文做的事情。德文是否被黑暗面诱惑？ | Lucasfilm但更具指向性的时刻出现在“未知的低语”中，当我们听到约翰·威廉姆斯为《西斯的复仇》创作的、为安纳金和欧比旺悲剧性决斗配乐的“英雄之战”的改编音乐时——莫尔明确指出了英雄之旅故事结构中一个至关重要的部分。莫尔对德文说：“你在拒绝你的召唤。”而“拒绝召唤”这个确切的措辞，似乎并非偶然。在创作最初的《星球大战》故事时，乔治·卢卡斯深受坎贝尔的“神话原型”理论的影响，特别是“英雄之旅”具有特定模式的观点，这些模式在世界各地的各种叙事、神话、故事和宗教传说中反复出现。在1949年出版的《千面英雄》一书中，坎贝尔详细阐述了英雄之旅的各个阶段，其中一个阶段被称为“拒绝召唤”。这是伟大冒险中，英雄试图逃避冒险的时刻；让人立刻想到《霍比特人》中比尔博不愿跟随甘道夫和矮人们的场景，就像《新希望》中卢克一口回绝欧比旺，说“我不能卷入其中”，直到他的叔叔婶婶被帝国残忍杀害。拒绝冒险召唤的时刻似乎是英雄之旅的关键，因为在某种意义上，这是初露头角的英雄感到最真实、最 relatable 的时刻。让莫尔成为你的向导……踏上英雄之旅？ | Lucasfilm因此，在《Shadow Lord》中，莫尔明确表示德文“拒绝你的召唤”，暗示他将自己视为这个特定故事中的欧比旺（或甘道夫）。现在，莫尔不太可能拥有一个阿乌雷贝什语（或者假设他有书的话，甚至是原始基塔语）的《英雄之旅》版本，但该系列似乎确实试图在此时播下一颗非常特殊的叙事种子。我们还不知道德文在这部剧集中的结局会如何，但如果她最终接受莫尔作为她的老师，或者迈出进入更广阔世界的一大步，那么我们就知道，在很多方面，她的正式英雄之旅就从这里开始。即使这条旅程最终将她变成一个反派。Maul — Shadow Lord 在 Disney+ 上线。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

收割之时的曙光预告片承诺永远改变饥饿游戏

Lionsgate(SeaPRwire) -   《饥饿游戏》在2008年引发了巨大轰动，但苏珊·柯林斯这部青少年反乌托邦惊悚小说在柯林斯着手创作续集时遇到了一个大难题：凯特尼斯和皮塔已经赢过一次比赛，要怎么让他们重新回到竞技场呢？《饥饿游戏2：星火燎原》给出了答案：世纪极限赛，本质上就是饥饿游戏全明星赛，所有往届获胜者都被迫再度参赛。不过那是第三届世纪极限赛。即将上映的前传电影《收割日日出》将时间回拨，聚焦第二届世纪极限赛，以及12区历史上仅有的另一位获胜者：黑密斯·阿伯纳西。现在，这部电影的全新物料揭示了为何这场饥饿游戏会彻底改变整个帕纳姆国。详情如下。这支预告片的主角是年轻的黑密斯（约瑟夫·扎达 饰），他被选为第二届世纪极限赛的贡品。本届赛事是为了庆祝饥饿游戏举办50周年，贡品数量是以往的两倍。这意味着帕纳姆国干预赛事的机会也翻了倍，从替身、恶意剪辑到直接谋杀，斯诺总统（拉尔夫·费因斯 饰）多次在幕后操纵一切。与此同时，未来的首席游戏设计师、秘密叛军间谍普鲁塔奇·哈文斯比（杰西·普莱蒙斯 饰）此时还只是一名摄像师。在他的帮助下，黑密斯找到了在本届世纪极限赛中越来越难寻觅的东西：希望。第二届世纪极限赛将贡品数量翻倍，提高了比赛难度（也增加了死亡人数）。| Lionsgate内容并不全是压抑的反乌托邦阴谋，除了全新的张扬反派角色外，还有不少熟面孔客串亮相。我们可以看到面容稚嫩的凯撒·弗里克曼（由基兰·卡尔金接棒斯坦利·图齐饰演）主持他的脱口秀，还有更多镜头给到了时尚爱好者艾菲·特琳奇（由艾丽·范宁接棒伊丽莎白·班克斯饰演）。这支预告称本届饥饿游戏将永远改变一切，但其意义远不止于此。这是游戏设计师首次全力动用权力操纵赛事，因此本届赛事还彻底改变了饥饿游戏本身。这为25年后凯特尼斯和皮塔掀起的反抗埋下了第一颗种子，片尾的彩蛋也将这两条时间线串联在了一起。《饥饿游戏：收割日日出》将于2026年11月20日登陆院线。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
