In line with its recently stated intention, the Board of Directors of Kambi Group plc today announces its capital allocation strategy: to return capital to shareholders through share buybacks while preserving sufficient capital for the Company’s operational requirements.

The Company will maintain a minimum cash balance which the Board will review on a regular basis, taking into account the need to fund acquisitions if and when they arise. Maintaining this balance will provide a level of flexibility sufficient to fund Kambi’s working capital needs as well as set aside an appropriate operating reserve for unexpected events. Any cash resources above this minimum cash balance will be returned to shareholders.

As part of the strategy, the notice for the upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting includes a resolution to obtain the authority to acquire up to 10% of the total shares in the Company.

When these two powerful wilds combine, players can expect an intense jungle showdown. Landing six or more Wilds in the base game activate the Wild Win & Spin Bonus. The bonus grants players three lives to snatch up as many sticky wilds as they can, ensuring their experience through the jungle is nothing short of exhilarating. A bonus round allure includes two special sticky wilds, capable of granting multiple winning spins or enhanced payouts, making it highly coveted among players.

Additional features including Bonus Buy and Gamble are available in applicable jurisdictions. Bonus Buy offers direct entry into the bonus, while Gamble offers players the chance to win more cash and/or increase their chances of triggering the bonus.

When Wild symbols land on reels two, three, or four, they drop and leave a dynamic trail of Wilds in their wake, offering players the chance to experience a fruity avalanche of winnings.

The exhilarating Wild Drop Multiplier Free Spins Bonus is triggered when players land three or more Bonus symbols anywhere in view. During the Bonus round, Wild symbols have multipliers that increase by +1 on the next spin each time one lands. The multiplier also applies to new Wilds created when a Wild drops. When two or three Wilds land on a line, their multiplier values are multiplied together, leading to juicy wins for that “cherry on the cake” feel.

Fortune Bet boosts a player’s chances of Free Spins bonus entry and Bonus Buy offers direct entry into the Free Spins Bonus, while Gamble offers players the chance to win more cash and/or increase their chances of triggering the Free Spins Bonus.
