iGB is proud once again to launch its Most Influential Women initiative, now in its ninth year. Since 2018, we have provided a platform for females in the gaming sector to honour their work and the progress they have made in advancing DEI.

Over the course of the campaign’s lifetime, various sectors and subsectors of the industry have been highlighted and the sheer diversity of talent has shone through, year after year. We have had the pleasure of delving into the careers and aspirations of our previous winners, and learned a lot about the make up of the sector along the way.

From recruitment to regulation, cybersecurity, tribal gaming, affiliates, gambling law, C-suite leaders and everything else in between, the campaign has shown that where roles, companies and backgrounds differ, many of the women we have honoured share a united drive to improve diversity within the sector.

About Wicket Blast

Push Gaming has added Flaming Streaks, a 3×3 classic-style slot built around four jackpots and a guaranteed-win bonus round. The release says more about the studio’s segmented output than about the game itself.

The title doesn’t come from Push Gaming’s main studio. It comes from Reel Hot Games, the sub-brand that handles the developer’s fruit, sevens, and Vegas-style output. That distinction matters. It positions Flaming Streaks as a deliberate return to old-school territory rather than a headline release aimed at the high-volatility audience Push Gaming is better known for.

For a studio associated with feature-heavy, high-ceiling slots, a compact throwback with a modest max win reflects a strategy of keeping a lighter, nostalgia-driven strand running alongside its flagship work.

What is Wicket Blast?

The new Belmont is part of a major restructuring of the New York Racing Association’s operations, with Belmont replacing Aqueduct as the year-round home of downstate thoroughbred racing.

Aqueduct staged its final races June 28, ending a 132-year history at the Queens track. It remained open for simulcast wagering until September 7 before closing permanently.

The new Belmont is significantly different than the sprawling venue it replaced. The former 1.25 million-square-foot grandstand, which had become vastly oversized for the contemporary racing crowd, was demolished to make way for a much smaller, modern facility with a focus on hospitality and premium seating.
