This is because posts have to belong to a collection to have the `{slug}` as URL.  
In your case, anything that doesn’t have the `announcements` or `gaming` tag will not belong to a collection.

You could set up your routes in a different way, have the `/posts/` as the collection without filter, and the `/announcements/` & `/gaming/` as channels.

See the topic below:

> Collections change the URL of a post, if a post isn’t included in a collection then it has no URL which I think is what you are seeing. It sounds like you may want to leave the default collection alone and use a channel for your homepage instead? https://ghost.org/docs/themes/routing/#channels
