As previously reported, Mulberry Street is currently scouting a new Strip location.

A private steakhouse and lounge is being planned for the $2 billion Athletics ballpark rising from the former Tropicana demolition site on the Strip. The Athletic Club will only be accessible to season ticket holders and their guests during games and other stadium events.

The venue, to be located directly behind home plate at field level, is projected to debut along with the ballpark in February 2028.

Renowned restaurateur Will Guidara—celebrated for his tenure co-owning New York City’s three Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park and pioneering the “Unreasonable Hospitality” movement—is spearheading the design.

Nolimit City has released Duck Hunters 2. The sequel pushes its take on the position-multiplier format further than the original while keeping the underlying math model intact. The story here is less about a new theme than about a studio doubling down on a mechanic that has spread rapidly across the online slots market since 2022.

Nolimit City has expanded its Duck Hunters slot franchise with the release of Duck Hunters 2, a follow-up to the original title that builds on the position multiplier mechanics that have become increasingly common across the online slot market in recent years. The new online slot retains the core multiplier-based format of its predecessor while increasing the maximum multiplier available on a single position and introducing additional bonus upgrades, feature-buy options and side-bet mechanics.

The commercial hook is scale. According to the developer, the sequel aims to deliver a more volatile experience, supported by a top payout of 40,000 times the stake. That figure sits above the original. It signals a deliberate move toward the higher end of Nolimit City’s already extreme-volatility catalog.

Potentially boding well for the Macquarie forecast are at least two factors. First, there are signs of turnover increases across a variety of yes/no exchanges. Second, volume surged to start September with those spikes arriving even before the NFL season kicked off.

As Macquarie analyst Chad Beynon points out, prediction markets generated $4.3 billion in taker volume during the first week of September without any help from the NFL, building on momentum from the 2026 World Cup. However, the NFL’s impact was immediate, with taker volume hitting a daily record during Week 1 of the campaign.

With all that in mind, it’s not surprising that Macquarie expects sports event contracts will drive approximately 80% of taker volume this year, but Beynon sees other categories growing over the long term.
