About Royal Quest

“Recent launches, including customizable same-game parlays (SGPs), further support our view that Prediction Markets (PM) are increasingly converging with traditional sportsbooks,” observes Macquarie analyst Chad Beynon. “As a result, we now estimate total US PM taker volume to reach $190 billion in 2026E (vs $169 billion prior).”

If the research firm’s $190 billion taker volume estimate proves accurate, it’d represent a more than eightfold increase from the $22 billion taker turnover seen last year.

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.

What is Royal Quest?

Everything runs through Coins. The Coin connects the four Instant Bonus tiers, Hold & Spin, and the two wheel-driven Bonus Spins modes, giving a busy feature set a single point of entry.

For an experienced slots reader, that’s the “so what.” A game with several distinct bonus paths that a player can still read at a glance.

Play’n GO’s own framing points to the commercial logic behind the choice. “The Coin carries the game. It pays on the spot, it locks into Hold & Spin, it builds multipliers in Bonus Spins. Operators get a game players read quickly, and GO Ultra changes what the wheel can land,” said Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO.

About Royal Quest

Veikkaus has submitted licence applications as a private entity, joining around 50 other companies that had applied to join the upcoming market by the end of June.

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.
