Piranha Pays

About Piranha Pays

The company committed to a management reshuffle late last year as part of this transition, scrapping the role of deputy CEO after Velipekka Nummikoski was shuffled into a new role.

The operator has made a number of key operational and technology changes during this process, including switching its sportsbook backend from DraftKings to OpenBet. And hiring a number of industry stalwards to lead its competitive business.

Former Scientific Games veteran Chris Armes was appointed as the new executive VP of Gaming Technologies in early August. Armes is set to take up his new role in the autumn of 2026, leading Veikkaus’ technology organisation from its Helsinki headquarters. 

What is Piranha Pays?

Play’n GO has released Triple Beasts of Fortune, a five-reel, 1,024-payways slot. Its central hook is a bonus structure that can layer three separate Free Spins features into a single round.

The interest here sits less in the frontier-and-bison theme, a heavily worked category, than in how the studio has engineered its bonus play. The game is set on a supernatural Grand Canyon frontier where three crystal-linked Free Spins features can arrive alone, in pairs or all three together.

That modular approach is the reason the release stands out in a crowded segment. Rather than funneling players into one static bonus, Play’n GO gives Triple Beasts of Fortune multiple entry points that can stack. This changes how volatility and payout potential accumulate across a session.

About Piranha Pays

“What we do believe is that basic principles should apply across all markets. These include protecting minors, providing effective self-exclusion options, promoting responsible advertising and ensuring that people affected by gambling harm can access support.

“ARGN will help to shape these principles into standards while allowing countries to implement them in ways that fit their local realities.”

When asked what responsible gambling measures the ARGN was seeking the implementation of, Akolade said the network wanted to establish minimum player protection standards across African markets and move responsible gambling requirements beyond paper-based rules towards measures that are actively enforced.
