Convened by Texas State Senator Bryan Hughes, the hearing in the Senate Committee on State Affairs examined the relationship between federally regulated derivatives markets and state-prohibited gambling. Research from Eilers & Krejcik Gaming in April found that 43% of activity from sports event contracts came from two states, Texas and California. A separate breakout of Texas activity alone is not publicly available.
At Tuesday’s hearing, AGA Vice President Tres York testified before the committee alongside Robert DeNault, head of enforcement and legal counsel at Kalshi. The AGA, one of the nation’s most strident critics of prediction markets, argued that an event contract on the Cowboys to beat the Giants does not differ fundamentally from the same wager placed at a sportsbook.
As with California, sports wagering is illegal in Texas. Greg Abbott, a three-term governor, is up for re-election in November, along with Dan Patrick, his lieutenant governor. Patrick, who vehemently opposes sports betting, also serves as president of the Texas Senate in his current role. Several attempts to legalise sports wagering since the 2018 PASPA decision have been foiled under Patrick’s leadership.

For so long, CalvinAyre.com has been a beacon in the poker reporting landscape but as the outgoing incumbent of this position of privilege, I haven’t been at the centre of this role for so long as to claim anywhere near all the credit.
A huge thanks for his outstanding reporting on this site should go to Lee Davy, who for many years, brought poker to life on Calvin Ayre. I personally owe a huge debt of gratitude to Lee for the efforts he made in not only making me feel so well prepared to take up the mantle when he moved on to pastures new, but in establishing the Calvin Ayre brand so well for so many years within the poker world.
Ours is a niche industry, but it is a wonderful and welcoming one, and Calvin Ayre has been a huge part of the poker industry in my time, too. The name has opened doors, helped me speak to some of the biggest and best poker players from around the globe.

One notable omission for an experienced audience is the lack of a bonus buy, meaning the combined feature modes must be earned through the crystal collection system rather than purchased. That decision keeps the anticipation tied to the meters filling; it also lengthens the runway to the slot’s most rewarding states.
Triple Beasts of Fortune reflects Play’n GO’s continued reliance on high-frequency releases built on recognizable mechanical templates rather than one-off experiments. The studio has long favored feature-led iterations, and here it reworks the familiar buffalo-style expanding-reels format by making its bonus rounds combinable.
The slot’s headline figures place it firmly in the studio’s high-volatility bracket, with a 30,000x max win and a standard 96% default RTP. Those numbers matter mainly as positioning. They signal a top-heavy payout profile in which most of the potential is reserved for the layered feature states rather than base-game play.
