About Burning Stars

Bringing you series of articles such as Poker on Screen and Poker in Print has been a massive source of pride for myself and the team and I even got the chance to discuss poker in the movies and on television on the recent episode of the award-winning podcast, The Chip Race.  

As ever, I am indebted to too many people to mention, but Derek, Bill, Jasmine and every one of the Calvin Ayre team, as well as Calvin himself of course, have all shown a lot of faith in me to carry the torch and I hope I’ve done them all credit.  

Finally, I really want to thank you, the reader who has kept coming back to find out what else I’m writing about each day, week, month and year. It is you to whom I write, constant reader, and if you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read, then feel free to follow me on Twitter, where a new destination will shortly be announced.

The more distinctive element is the Ultra Bet feature. It gives players a stake-based lever over that engine. Ultra Bet removes the lowest value from the reel to improve the chances of landing higher multipliers.

Why does that matter? It shifts a slice of control to the player, trading a wider spread of outcomes for improved odds on the multiplier reel. This is a familiar risk-adjustment idea rather than a new engine. Still, it’s the detail that separates Piggy Dynasty from a plain compact slot.

Piggy Dynasty fits a recognizable pattern for PopOK Gaming: streamlined slots that concentrate their appeal in one clear mechanic rather than stacking multiple bonus systems. The compact grid, the modest payline count, the single multiplier-led feature. All of it points to content aimed at high-frequency play and easy distribution across operator lobbies.

KVA expressed concern over the potential manipulation of Google’s autocomplete function by unauthorised operators and websites primarily set up to redirect Dutch consumers to illegal gambling offers.

While acknowledging Google’s cooperation in removing paid advertisements promoting illegal casinos, the KVA emphasised the need for the company to take more comprehensive measures addressing organic search results.

Dutch MPs have raised similar concerns before. In December 2025, CDA MP Straatman asked the state secretary whether websites advertising as “Beste casino’s zonder Cruks” should be taken offline immediately.
