National Lottery plc inaugurated its new retail store concept in the same week when the company was commemorating the 100 years since the first Lotto draw.

The inauguration of the new National Lottery retail store concept forms an integral part of the investment programme that will see National Lottery plc invest €10 Million in the next two years to upgrade its retail network across Malta and Gozo. This investment programme will also create employment opportunities in a dynamic and evolving industry as an estimated 200 new jobs will be created in the process.

National Lottery plc took over the operations of the national lottery of Malta in July 2022 and since then has embarked on a comprehensive investment programme in a bid to modernize and expand the retail distribution network of the national lottery of Malta. The robust investment in the retail distribution network is considered as one of the strategic pillars through which National Lottery plc aims to grow the popularity of the national lottery.

During the inauguration of the new store concept National Lottery plc Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Franco De Gabriele commented; “The expansion and upgrade of the retail distribution network and the creation of a new store concept was always an essential part of our growth strategy,” commented Mr. De Gabriele. “Over the past year we have been working tirelessly to create a comprehensive retail distribution plan that would allow the company to service the strong demand for our products. Through this new store concept, the creation of a network of new stores and through the continued investments undertaken with our lottery agents, we are confident that the market demand will be fulfilled in the best manner possible. We aim to upgrade all of our current retail distribution network and launch 60 new stores over the next 2 years. This will create job opportunities for those that would like to form part of the National Lottery family.”

The unveiling of the first new concept store comes a week after the national lottery commemorates 100 years since the first draw of the lotto game in Malta that took place on 10th February 1923. The historic perspective of the game of lotto exemplifies the strong roots that Maltese society has towards lottery games.

For this commemoration, National Lottery plc in collaboration with MaltaPost plc, Malta’s postal service company, launched a booklet containing six Lotto 100 year edition stamps. The designs of these stamps represent the evolution of the Maltese National Lottery and the evolution of the Lotto brand.

Cubeia, a Sweden-based iGaming software solutions provider, has launched its highly anticipated Poker 2.0 platform. The latest version features a state-of-the-art multi-threaded game engine written entirely in Java 21 and a new and improved graphical UI.

As a celebration, Cubeia’s Hybrid Poker Network is running a 4-week Beta Test Series, where players are encouraged to report any bugs they experience for a chance to earn rewards of up to $55 in tournament tickets. The new server engine is designed to easily handle player loads in the six-digit range and has future-proof capabilities, such as exposing a poker lobby API to other providers – given the right deal.

One of the many advantages that the server upgrade brings is its ease of feature implementation – thread safety is built-in, removing the need for developers to worry about implementing new platform features. The technical debt has dissipated facilitating updates to be performed quickly and efficiently.

This release comes at the perfect time as there are a number of operators lined up to launch during the remainder of the year. Cubeia is looking forward to not only expanding its poker network but also accommodating operator feature requests with greater agility.

Cubeia’s Head of Poker Simon Isbäck commented: “After about a year and a half worth of development, we can finally clap each other’s backs and be proud of what we’ve accomplished! On Thursday, I will be looking forward to hosting a huge launch party for the entire team! New features will drop faster than ever, and we’re looking forward to launching many industry-relevant features as well as some brand new ones. This is only the beginning!”

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has released its latest game in its Adventures Series, Wolf & Piggies Chase. The two arch enemies meet again on a picturesque farmyard surrounded by rolling hills, smiling animals, and huge haystacks. A playful soundtrack ensures a jovial mood for all as players look for Golden Piggy Bank symbols to activate Free Spins.

Players who land on three Golden Piggy Bank symbols will be awarded 10 Free Spins. Four will award 15 Free Spins and five will award 20 Free Spins. In Free Spins only, the Wolf Wild can substitute for all other symbols except for the scattered Free Spins symbol.

Spinomenal’s Instant Cash feature comes into play every time the reel spins and the Instant Cash symbol will randomly show four possible values that are collected in Free Spins. Instant Cash symbols accumulate during the round before they increase the Free Spins metre at the top of the reels.

Once four Wild symbols are found, players will win 10 additional free spins and on all future spins until the free spins finish. It also means that the Small Instant Cash symbol (pays x2 or x5 of the total bet) transforms into a Medium Instant Cash symbol which pays out x10 or x15 of the total bet.

Eight Wild symbols found means players will collect six further free spins on all future spins until the free spins end. The Medium Instant Cash symbols turn into Large Instant Cash symbols, which pays out x20 or x25 of the total bet.

After securing 12 Wild symbols, players collect another four additional free spins and on all future spins until the free spins end. This then pushes players into the final level where the Huge Instant Cash symbol is engaged and pays either x50 or x2000 the total bet.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Players will love this fun and feature-packed farm adventure. Wolf & Piggies Chase is a vibrant, colourful addition to our much-loved Adventures Series.”

Belatra releases explosive instant game Mummy’s Mines

Belatra, a leading developer of innovative online slots, has released Mummy’s Mines, an instant game inspired by one of the studio’s most successful titles – Mummyland Treasures.

This version is an all-new instant game adventure that blends suspense, strategy, and ancient treasure-hunting excitement. Before diving into the action, players must select the battlefield: a 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5 grid. Then, it’s a choice on how many mines to face – more mines mean higher potential multipliers – the ultimate risk-reward quandary.

Mummy Mines is set within an eerie underground tomb surrounded by Egyptian artefacts. This fast-paced title challenges players to uncover hidden Scarabs, avoid deadly traps, and chase a glistening Jackpot.

Every successful tile revealed carries players further into the forgotten depths, where fortunes lie buried and danger lurks just beneath the surface. There is also a chance to unearth the special Jackpot Spin. When players uncover a Jackpot tile, a reel spins to determine their fate – landing on a Coin grants a bonus win, a Mine ends the game, and the coveted Jackpot symbol awards the full accumulated prize. As the jackpot value edges closer to its limit, the display starts flashing red, signalling that the treasure is almost ripe for the taking. If the pressure becomes too much, players can take the chance to cash out any accumulated winnings. Belatra’s newest title combines the unique atmosphere of Mummyland Treasures with fresh mechanics that deliver thrilling gameplay in every round.

Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “Mummy’s Mines is an explosive hit that is a bold new entry in Belatra’s instant game lineup – offering quick games, big risks, and even bigger rewards. The game honours the charm of the original and players will love seeing the much-loved Mummy character in a new style of game.”
