Right to the SourceEpisode 29: Is the slot market ready for Big Daddy energy?Right to the Source returns with its first episode of 2026, and this week Ed Birkin and Robin Harrison are joined by Erland Hellström and Simon Hammon of slot disruptor Big Daddy Gaming.
Hellström is a veteran of Evolution and Hammon’s slot heritage stretches back to NetEnt’s Starburst, so there’s some serious muscle behind Big Daddy Gaming, but how are they going to build something that can disrupt an established order in a busy market?

Australia has its majestic blue seas, otherworldly beaches and iconic wildlife - but did you know that many of today’s most popular casino games actually originated from Down Under? Australia’s iGaming culture and regulation have been quietly shaping global industry standards for decades.
In this episode, Dr Eyal and former Crown Resorts CEO Ken Barton unpack the evolution of iGaming - exploring how technology, player psychology and shifting cultural expectations are redefining iGaming entertainment. We also ask whether traditional physical casinos can adapt and survive in an increasingly digital world.

Right to the SourceBreaking down the GB gambling tax increaseEveryone’s had their say on last week’s Budget in the UK, which heralds a hike in remote gaming duty to 40% next year, and an increase in remote betting duty to 25% of GGR from 2027. But is it going to push all gambling activity offshore, and will it yield £1.1 billion in new tax revenue as the Office for Budget Responsibility claims? Ed Birkin is not so sure.

Dr Eyal and former BETonSPORTS CEO David Carruthers tap into how overzealous regulators create a black market in their own back yard. But is this a good or bad thing for iGaming? With the natural shift many companies take from unregulated activity that brings fast cash flow, to regulated activity that brings long term value, the pair examine the two different attitudes from regulators - one that attempts to create a thriving iGaming ecosystem, and one that tries to shut it down.
