CT Gaming has announced that the newest addition to its multigame portfolio – Diamond King 5 – has now been officially certified for the Bulgarian market. This marks an important milestone for the company.

As part of the well-established Diamond King series, the new multigame brings even more excitement and opportunities for players. The package includes 40 games, of which 20 are linked to the progressive Diamond Tree Deluxe jackpot, adding extra layers of entertainment and winning potential. The remaining 20 titles are classic games, including two with a Buy Bonus feature, allowing players to dive directly into the bonus rounds.

Diamond King 5 combines well-known player favorites with the legendary Mega Jack trio – Aztec Gold, Slot-O-Pol Deluxe, and Champagne Party – along with a range of exciting new titles that are set to become audience hits. Just like with Diamond King 4, players can win bonuses and jackpots during the base game, promising an even more thrilling gaming experience. In addition to its exciting content, the multigame is compatible with two types of cabinets — the EZ Modulo Tower with a single vertical monitor, and the NEXT or EZ Modulo with three horizontally positioned monitors.

“The certification of Diamond King 5 is an important moment for us. This is a product in which we have invested the very best of everything we’ve created in the series so far. We are confident that it will build upon the success of the previous multigames and deliver outstanding results for both operators and players,” said Biser Bojanov, CEO of CT Gaming.

The certification of Diamond King 5 in Bulgaria is just the first step in its international rollout. In the coming months, the product is set to be introduced to other key markets, continuing CT Gaming’s mission to provide flexible solutions with excellent performance for operators and unforgettable experiences for players.
