About Chicago
“Recently, I celebrated my 96th birthday with family and friends, including one of my great-grandchildren, who had just turned one. He’s moving a bit faster than I am these days,” Buffett wrote in a letter to shareholders. The billionaire credited Abel with exceeding his “sky-high” expectations, giving him complete confidence in completing the transition.
“The timing is right. I will become chairman emeritus and remain a director. My son, Howard, will succeed me as chairman,” Buffett told investors. “The company is in excellent hands, and I look forward to remaining a shareholder alongside you.”
Since the landmark Supreme Court ruling in 2018 that allowed states to legalize sports betting, gambling has become increasingly intertwined with American culture.
About Chicago
The “3” prefix is not incidental. Spinomenal’s catalog already includes titles such as 3 Chinese Charms and 3 Volcano Power, alongside 3 Fortune Mummies. That points to a deliberate naming convention, one that groups slots into a recognizable line.
This numbered structure works as a soft branding device. It signals to players that a title belongs to a familiar mechanical or presentational family, which can shorten the time it takes a returning player to feel oriented in a new game.
The approach also suits Spinomenal’s release rhythm. The provider ships titles at a steady clip across multiple themes at once, and a repeatable template makes that schedule far more sustainable over time. A useful shortcut, in other words.

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.
“We expect non-sports categories such as economics, politics, crypto, and entertainment to gain share over time,” says the analyst.
