What is Brilliant Dice?

That positioning has clear trade-offs. High-volume, template-driven studios rarely lead the market on standout mechanics. What they do offer is a steady pipeline for operators and a familiar, low-friction experience for players across a large library.

3 Aztec Spells fits neatly into that pattern. It is best read not as a landmark launch but as evidence of a content engine designed to keep Spinomenal’s numbered, theme-clustered families growing.

On the strength of this release and the surrounding catalog, the provider appears committed to that model for the foreseeable future. Iteration and volume over reinvention, for now.

One of the operator’s most significant challenges is the increase in gambling tax enforced over recent years. Petra has been particularly vocal about this and the company’s profitability has taken a reasonable hit, since the first tax increase to 34.2% of GGR came into effect on 1 January 2025.

Holland Casino now pays 37.8% of GGR to the state, as per the additional increase in 2026, but with labour tax on top the business pays around 52% before they can look at their base running costs. It is not a small burden by any stretch of the imagination, so it is heartening to see the business doing well despite the tightening tax burden.

With such a significant rise in tax, you would forgive the company for cutting wherever possible, but Petra says they have made it work by maximising efficiency, restructuring, and maintaining their offering so the customer doesn’t notice that anything has changed.

About Brilliant Dice

Data from the Rede em Jogo project, by CondadoLab at PUC-Rio, revealed that 84% of the betting operators most recommended on Instagram are illegal in Brazil.

The research, published by The Intercept Brasil on Monday, analysed more than 55,000 Instagram accounts and cross-referenced the results with the official list of authorised operators from the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA).

According to the survey, the problem arises when a user follows a single account related to betting. The platform’s recommendation system then starts showing other profiles in the same segment, including betting sites, influencers and specialised pages.
