One Game Led to a Bigger Investigation

The case began after Stakelogic reported a problem to the regulator. The company found that Tiger Temple 88 allowed spins every 1.97 seconds. The minimum gap between spins must be 2.5 seconds.

That report led to a full review of the company's games in Great Britain. During the checks, Stakelogic found another 15 games that also broke the timing rules. Some games missed the limit by only a tiny amount. Others ran much faster than allowed. The new findings expanded the investigation — and brought closer attention from regulators.

Testing Method Caused the Errors

The regulator found the problem came from the company's testing process. Stakelogic used a manual stopwatch to measure game speed. Officials said this method was not good enough for a licensed gambling software company. They said businesses should use better tools to check game speed.

The affected games ran during different periods between October 2021 and October 2025. Tiger Temple 88 failed the rules between 28 May and 30 May 2025. After finding the problem, Stakelogic removed all affected games from British casinos. Subsequently, the company fixed the errors before putting the games back online.

Key Facts About the Case

The investigation revealed several important details about the breaches and the company's response.

  • Stakelogic BV will pay £122,835 as part of a regulatory settlement.

  • The investigation covered 16 slot games, including Tiger Temple 88.

  • Tiger Temple 88 allowed spins every 1.97 seconds, below the 2.5-second limit.

  • The other 15 games also failed to meet the minimum spin time.

  • The breaches happened between October 2021 and October 2025.

  • Stakelogic removed the games and introduced stronger testing checks.

Company Improved Its Testing Process

After the investigation, Stakelogic changed the way it tests its games. The company also added stronger checks to stop similar problems in the future.

The regulator said these changes helped fix the weaknesses found during the review. Nevertheless, the earlier breaches still resulted in a financial penalty. The £122,835 payment is part of a regulatory settlement — bringing the case to an end.

Why the Rule Is Important

The minimum spin speed rule was introduced to help protect players and reduce gambling-related harm. Great Britain introduced the 2.5-second rule in 2021 as part of wider safety measures. Research showed that faster slot games may increase the risk of harm for players.

Because of that, regulators expect every licensed company to meet the technical rules. This case shows that even small mistakes can lead to action — especially when player protection rules are involved.
