The Wild West has been an undying inspiration for slot developers. The latest studio to join the party is Maltese developer Expanse Studios. Its newest slot Bounty Hunters is a true gunslinging bonanza you can try for free or real money only in Meridianbet casino.

The gun-toting slot features outlaws on the reels paired with revolvers, skull scatters, and wilds with bags of gold. It’s a slot with an above-average RTP of 96.31% and 40 fixed paylines. Land the right symbols on them and you can win a barrel of gold in the free spins round with the sticky jokers.

Ready for the ride, partner? Head to Meridianbet casino right now and play with real money to win the cash rewards of a lifetime.

A Wild West Story

From the graphics to the sound effects and background tunes, you can tell this is a Wild West-themed slot from a mile away. Expanse has done a great job with the visual design. The graphics are crisp-clear and the symbols are nicely designed. The symbols are set inside a wooden reel set against the back of a saloon. As mentioned earlier, outlaws occupy the reels along with a few special symbols that trigger the slot’s features.

Playing the Bounty Hunters slot is easy. This Wild West tale requires you to set your bet first. You can go as low as 0.1 per line and all the way up to 1,200. Set what suits you best and turn the reels to start the gun-toting adventure. All the buttons are in their usual sports. You can hit the Spin to start the action or use Autoplay to spin the reels a number of times (up to a whopping 250).

You’ll be looking to land the golden-framed outlaw to earn 100 coins for five on a line. The lady pays 80 for the same combination, just like the bandana-wearing cowboy. The base game plays pretty straightforward. The most valuable symbols can appear stacked and deliver big wins. The wild can help create stunning winning combinations too and pays the most, 150 coins, for five on a line.

There’s a sticky joker wild too, but that one appears exclusively in the bonus round. Of course, there’s a scatter too, in this case a bonus skull symbol that pays a nice sum of coins when you land at least 3 and triggers the free spins.

The Bonus Kit and Caboodle

Three skull scatters will pay an instant cash reward and trigger 6 free spins at the same time. They should appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 simultaneously in order for you to enter the bonus round. The free games play mostly the same as the base game, with a few guns-blazing differences.

Before the round begins, between 1 and 5 reels will have sticky jokers on them. This is the main feature in the bonus game. These special wilds will stay on the reels for the duration of the bonus round and can replace all symbols to form winning combinations except the scatters.

They can also appear behind regular wilds on any reel position. If a scatter appears on top of a sticky wild, it can result in a scatter win and give you 6 extra spins as a bonus. With no cap on the amount of free spins you can win, the bonus round can be pretty lucrative.

All of it makes the Bounty Hunters slot well worth the Wild West adventure. Head to Meridianbet casino right away and saddle up your horses – this will be a ride to remember.

Movers and Shakers – Beyond integration: Why system interoperability is the real game changer

Powered by GameOn and supported by HIPTHER, this op-ed series delves into the key players, emerging technologies, and regulatory changes shaping the future of online gaming. Each month, industry experts offer their insights and perspectives, providing readers with in-depth analysis and thought-provoking commentary on what’s driving the iGaming world forward. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the scene, “Movers and Shakers” is your go-to source for staying ahead in the rapidly evolving iGaming landscape.

 

Dominic Le Garsmeur (CPO) at Fincore, says integrations without a clear interoperability strategy add technical and operational debt, hampering future growth.

System integrations are hugely important for any online sportsbook or casino, adding capabilities and features to drive growth.  But integrating without considering and optimising interoperability can do more harm than good by adding technical and operational debt to the business and ultimately hitting growth.

Integrating without interoperability pushes information from one system to another, but the connection itself has no intelligence. It’s a mechanical link, and the systems remain fundamentally separate, each operating with its own distinct rules. Any real understanding, like why that data was sent or what other processes it should trigger, is lost, creating data silos that are technically connected but strategically disconnected.

System interoperability provides the intelligence the connection lacks, establishing a shared operational model for the platform so all systems can act in concert. Most importantly, it creates a future-proof foundation, allowing new capabilities and features to be added with agility and confidence, turning the platform into an engine for innovation rather than a source of technical debt.

Before looking at why interoperability is more powerful than integration, and how companies can solve it, it’s important to understand how disconnects between platforms and systems occur in the first place.

 

Why does disconnection happen?

Operators acquire their tech stacks in different ways, but usually through a combination of building, inheriting legacy tech, acquisition and third-party providers. This often leads to platform and system silos with little to no compatibility between them.

Ultimately, disconnected systems drag down delivery and without interoperability, companies waste time reconciling platforms and tech rather than advancing forward.

 

Interoperability is more powerful than integration

Integration often means linking systems at a basic level, but interoperability ensures that data, logic and workflows are aligned and extensible.

It’s critical to have a strategic data layer and shared data structures that enables standardising of data representations, aligning systems at the logic level, not just the interface, and building an architecture designed to unify and extend across platforms.

In complex industries such as gaming, where tech plays such an important role in the user experience and the trust consumers have in brands, system interoperability is the only way to scale with control. In short, integration links, interoperability empowers.

 

Why interoperability is such a challenge in the gaming industry

Each integration is unique. Why? Because the combination of legacy systems, niche vendors and varying regulations in markets across the world means there is no blueprint for operators to follow.

Remember, most operator platforms are now decades old and were not built with modularity or openness in mind. And even those developing new platforms and systems from scratch often lack the in-house capability to design for interoperability from the get-go.

 

The risk of not achieving interoperability

When systems don’t interoperate, things start to fall apart. For example, delivery can grind to a halt, with every new feature launch or market entry becoming a grind. There are compliance risks, too, especially when it comes to fractured data and an increased risk of errors and audit gaps.

Then, of course, there is the poor player experience that will be provided. This could be anything from glitchy games to failed deposits and even the wrong marketing communications being sent to the wrong player cohorts.

It also impacts an operator’s ability to develop and innovate, as IT and tech become reactive rather than proactive. And in such a competitive market, this can see a brand quickly fall behind the curve.

 

How to solve the interoperability conundrum

Ensuring interoperability is a complex and comprehensive undertaking, but there are some high-level things operators can do.

This starts with standardising critical data flows and logic, not just the interface. Remember, a single view of data is what ensures all the platforms, systems and networks communicate with each other in the same language.

Operators should also design for change, as architecture must support long-term growth and plug-and-play modularity. In most cases, it’s best to invest in strategic partners, not just tools.

 

How strategic partners can help

Partners such as Fincore can provide the strategic clarity operators need, defining what interoperability looks like for them and based on their business goals. We also bring execution muscle – we don’t just design it, we build it.

The right partner also brings compliance confidence. Companies such as Fincore are highly experienced when it comes to interoperability, and everything we do stands up to regulatory scrutiny.

This can be seen in our proven track record for delivering interoperability for everything from complex migrations to global-scale game roll-outs.

 

A real-world example of interoperability

Fincore worked with a US-based gaming services provider whose legacy systems across its land-based venues had created silos in payments, loyalty and in-resort experiences.

The solution we proposed saw us design and deliver a digital wallet that became the unified digital layer across the physical properties. We also integrated deeply with multiple rigid legacy systems to provide secure and compliant interoperability at scale.

The result? We delivered on time, unlocked a new digital product line and created a long-term tech foundation for the company to continue to build on.

When it comes to integrations, you can always wire systems together, but if you don’t do it in the right way, you get chaos. Interoperability is about creating order within platforms and systems, which in turn allows for unlimited scaling and growth.

And that’s why interoperability is the real game-changer.
