Gambling technology provider Playtech has announced the launch of Safari Riches Live, a live casino slot game created exclusively for 888casino.

The creation of Safari Riches Live is a unique milestone for 888casino and Playtech Live, representing the first time that a slot brand developed by 888 has been transformed into a truly unique and bespoke live casino game.

Powered by Playtech’s industry-first live slot technology, Safari Riches Live—which is a live, hosted version of Safari Riches, one of 888casino’s best-performing video slots—is content-rich with industry-leading features such as Stacked Wilds, Big Icons and Free Spins. It is hosted by Playtech presenters based in its state-of-the-art Playtech Live studio in Riga, creating an exciting and entertaining playing experience for players.

The live casino slot game also includes a progressive Daily Jackpot, the first of its kind to be launched on a Playtech Live Casino game, which can only be triggered and won by a single spin made by a single player. Safari Riches Live also makes the jackpot uniquely accessible to Live Casino players.

This launch follows the partnership announcement in 2021, which saw 888casino roll out a new branded live casino studio as well as a range of Playtech’s best performing RNG Casino games.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with 888casino to create this bespoke live casino slot game, Safari Riches Live. It is a great honour that 888casino has chosen Playtech to develop this game and trusted the Playtech Live team with one of their best-performing gaming brands. At Playtech Live, we are seeing an increased demand from operators to create new and engaging content for their customers and having the opportunity to design a live casino slot game based on one of 888casino’s most successful proprietary slot games made perfect sense to us! The Playtech Live team have developed tailor-made features to support the launch of Safari Riches Live and we are confident that it will be just as popular with 888casino’s customers as the original Safari Riches slot game,” Kevin Kilminster, Head of Live Casino Innovation at Playtech, said.

“We are delighted with the new and exclusive Safari Riches Live casino slot game that we have developed jointly with the Playtech Live team. Packed with rich content and exciting features, including our Daily Jackpot, Safari Riches Live builds on the popularity and strength of the Safari Riches brand and extends it to fans of Live Casino. This launch will expand our existing portfolio of exciting games and formats, which is a crucial part of our product leadership and content strategy. We can’t wait to introduce the game to players in the coming weeks and continue to work with Playtech in the future,” Talya Benyamini, VP B2C Casino at 888, said.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Oath of Steel, a moody, battle-driven slot that captures the raw intensity of knights locked in combat beneath storm-filled skies.

Set in a storm-soaked battlefield of iron masks and glowing castle windows, Oath of Steel brings players into a world where survival outweighs glory. With a moody visual style and heavy sound design, the game trades grandeur for grit, delivering a volatile experience with serious win potential.

Oath of Steel features a suite of engaging mechanics. The Wild symbol stands as the highest-paying symbol in the game, doubling as a substitute for regular symbols to support winning combinations. Meanwhile, landing three or more Scatters triggers a unique bonus round, where players select one of five Stacked symbols to boost their chances during Free Spins.

Adding to the tension, +1 Spin symbols can appear during the bonus mode, extending the round one spin at a time. For those ready to dive into the heart of the battle, a Bonus Buy option offers instant access to the Free Spins feature with a chosen number of Scatters.

Combining bold creative direction with player-focused mechanics, Oath of Steel stands out as a high-impact slot designed to capture attention and keep the reels spinning.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said:Oath of Steel is all about building an atmosphere that sticks with you. We did not want a polished fantasy; we wanted something heavier, more grounded, and sharper in tone.

“From the audiovisual execution to the feature structure, this release was built to immerse and challenge. It is a game that asks players to step into the fight and stay there.”

SYNOT Games, a leading developer of cutting-edge casino games and solutions, has officially entered the Argentinian iGaming market through a strategic partnership with Betsson, one of the most established and globally recognized operators in the industry. 

This collaboration marks SYNOT Games‘ debut in Argentina and signals a significant step in the company’s ongoing expansion across Latin America. By joining forces with Betsson, SYNOT Games reinforces its commitment to working exclusively with trusted partners in regulated markets.

Entering Argentina with a partner like Betsson is a proud moment for us,” said Martina Krajčí, Chief Commercial Officer at SYNOT Games.

Latin America is a rapidly growing region in the iGaming space, and Argentina stands out for its dynamism and regulatory maturity. We’re excited to offer our premium portfolio to a new audience and deepen our footprint in LatAm.”

Sarah Micallef, Head of Global Gaming Operations at Betsson Group, also expressed enthusiasm: “We are pleased to welcome SYNOT Games to our portfolio in Argentina. Our focus has always been to offer our players top-tier content in every market we operate. SYNOT’s games meet our high standards for quality and entertainment, and we are confident they will resonate well with our Argentinian audience.”

Argentina’s online gambling sector has experienced significant growth in recent years, particularly following the 2021 regulatory shift that enabled provinces to license operators independently. Buenos Aires, both the city and the province, has become a focal point for major international brands, offering a regulated and competitive market environment that is ideal for industry expansion.

The deal strengthens SYNOT Games‘ positioning in Latin America, aligning with the company’s strategic roadmap of sustainable growth and responsible gaming in fully licensed jurisdictions. With an existing presence in Brazil and Colombia, this move into Argentina further consolidates SYNOT Games’ commitment to expanding across the most dynamic and regulated iGaming markets in the region.
