Hot Slice

What is Hot Slice?

Members advocated for stronger powers to be given to Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), the regulator of gambling in the Netherlands, with tougher action taken against payment providers, social media sites and affiliates that facilitate illegal gambling.

Van Bruggen revealed the cabinet was in the process of developing legislation to introduce DNS blocking for illegal sites, with a consultation due for early 2027.

Members flagged the growing issue of illegal gambling sites’ advertising appearing across social media, an issue the sector in Netherlands has sought to tackle directly through legal action against Meta.

About Hot Slice

The Booster menu includes options designed to alter the starting conditions of a session. Players can guarantee scatter symbols, increase starting multipliers across the entire grid or activate enhanced bonus-hunting conditions. The strategic read is that Nolimit City is packaging multiple entry points into the same high-volatility engine. That gives players, and by extension operators, a variety of ways to engage a single title.

The studio has also carried its side-bet layer into the sequel. The slot also introduces a Side Hustles system, which functions as an optional stake increase tied to specific outcomes. Taken together, the expanded upgrades, buy options, and side bets suggest Nolimit City is refining a repeatable framework across sequels rather than reinventing its approach each release.

For players familiar with the first Duck Hunters, the takeaway is continuity with a raised ceiling. For those tracking Nolimit City’s portfolio, the sequel is evidence of a studio comfortable returning to proven mechanical families and layering additional monetization and volatility on top. That pattern fits the broader direction of a slots market increasingly built around recognizable, iterated math models rather than one-off novelties.

However, the latest filing does not create such a system right away. Its OIRA entry describes the action as a preliminary measure and says it is not economically significant under the relevant review criteria. No legal deadline has been listed for review either. 

It could, therefore, take quite a bit longer than the timing of the initial filing indicates. The CFTC would have to publish its action and solicit public comment after White House review before writing a formal proposed rule. Any final rule would have to undergo another review and comment period before it could take effect. 

The distinction matters for crypto businesses. The filing shows regulatory work is moving forward, but exchanges and other market participants cannot yet consider it a set of rules they must adhere to.
