What is Dragons Throne?
Prediction market volume attributable to “takers”—recreational and retail traders who pull liquidity from exchanges—is forecast to reach $190 billion this year.
That estimate arrives courtesy of Macquarie and is well ahead of the research firm’s previous estimate of $169 billion in 2026 taker volume.
Takers is a prediction market industry colloquialism for the market participants that swiftly fill buy and sell orders, thus removing liquidity from the marketplace. Conversely, makers are the market participants viewed as liquidity providers and professional or sharp money.

But that isn’t the case according to Richards: “We are not signalling plans to re-enter B2C elsewhere; Africa is a distinct case: a high-growth, underpenetrated region where owning a local operator makes strategic sense in a way it may not elsewhere.”
There’s also a financial constraint, with Ahlberg noting that GiG has used its available cash and is raising additional capital to fund the 888Africa transaction, meaning he doesn’t expect the company to pursue further B2C acquisitions in the short term.
Robinson takes a more expansive view, however, arguing that the acquisition could mark the beginning of a broader shift in GiG’s strategy. “I’d read it as the start of something, not a one-off,” he says. “GiG’s survival as an independent business depends on consolidating in emerging markets where it can own the P&L, not just supply the technology.

Players give up the standard mode to access a higher-variance version with steeper multiplier growth
The optional GO Ultra layer is where the release differentiates itself from a routine Hold & Spin title. GO Ultra is the step up. Activating it removes standard Bonus Spins from the feature pool and introduces Super Duper Bonus Spins, with Coins concentrated on fewer reels and multipliers that grow in larger increments.
The trade-off is deliberate. Players give up the standard mode to access a higher-variance version with steeper multiplier growth. The game carries high volatility, which positions GO Ultra as the risk-forward option inside an already volatile math model.
