Technological Breakthrough in the iGaming Industry: Zeus Run Breaks the Boundaries of Classic Slots

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

DreamPlay has shattered stereotypes about online gaming. With its latest project, Zeus Run, the leading European game studio has introduced a fundamentally new gaming concept, adding interactivity and dynamism through the “Running Wilds” mechanic. A unique mythological lore, the ability to multiply winnings by 100 times, and an unconventional user experience—players can now explore this new gaming universe exclusively on the WinSpirit online casino platform.

The Game World

Zeus Run is a unique gambling adventure available on all operating systems, including iOS and Android. Upon launching the game, players are transported into a thrilling mythological world, becoming part of an ancient legend. Their companion on this journey? None other than Zeus, the mighty god of thunder.

The game features immersive 3D graphics with animated elements, inspired by classical aesthetics. The primary color palette includes signature shades of purple combined with gold accents, creating an atmosphere of mystery and grandeur. The sound design and music, crafted by Eurovision finalists, enhance the dynamic and immersive experience.

Mechanics: A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation

At first glance, Zeus Run appears to follow the familiar 3×5 slot concept, with spinning reels, winning combinations, and jackpot accumulation. However, thanks to the unique “Lightning” symbol, players can boost their winnings depending on their bets.

But the real excitement begins when three or more Zeus symbols land on the reels. At this moment, players face a choice—instantly claim their accumulated jackpot or challenge the gods in the thrilling “Runner” mini-game. If they choose the latter, they take control of Zeus himself, guiding him through five stages while collecting coins to increase the multiplier.

The “Running Wilds” mechanic transforms players into a moving wild symbol, actively traveling across the game field and multiplying their winnings.

Unlike classic slots, Zeus Run doesn’t rely solely on luck. The mini-game gives players more control over their results. The coin-collection system allows them to develop their own strategies, and skilled players can increase their winnings by up to 100 times.

In Zeus Run, players can also collect Dream Coin—an in-game currency that can be used in other DreamPlay titles or even bought and sold on exchanges.

Future Plans

While Zeus Run is already a breakthrough in the iGaming industry, DreamPlay’s development team isn’t stopping there. Future updates will expand game themes to create personalized gaming experiences for different audiences, as well as introduce new mechanics and quests. Additionally, players will soon be able to participate in tournaments and leaderboards.

“Zeus Run is part of a larger gaming universe we are building. We have set a high technological bar for ourselves, aiming to bring fresh innovations to the gaming world and deliver a unique experience. Our team always strives to think beyond conventional limits—even in areas where innovation seems impossible. Zeus Run is yet another proof that anything is possible,” — says Alex Tkach, CEO of DreamPlay.

Zeus Run meets international gambling standards and adheres to responsible gaming principles—players have access to limit settings, and the game provides risk awareness information. DreamPlay’s development has been certified by independent testers eCOGRA, iTech Labs, and GLI, and has already secured exclusive agreements with select casinos.

Monster top bounty of 10% of the total prize pool up for grabs starting this weekend

ACR Poker today announced the addition of Daily Mystery Bounty events to its tournament lineup starting this Sunday, August 3rd, delivering unmatched entertainment, thrilling action, and big wins to the tables.

Daily Mystery Bounty tournaments turn traditional bounty formats on their head. Once players are in the money, instead of receiving a fixed reward for eliminating an opponent, players receive a Mystery Bounty Chest revealing a mystery reward, with the top bounty prize being 10% of the total prize pool.

“Mystery Bounties are just pure fun,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “You never know what you’re going to get when you knock someone out, it could be some random treasure or a monster bounty that flips your whole tournament. With same-day events, fast action and bounty madness on your daily calendar, it keeps the adrenaline going and makes every hand way more exciting.”

The Daily Mystery Bounty schedule features a range of tourneys and buy-ins, with highlights including the $250K GTD Sunday Funday ($215 buy-in), the $150K GTD Major Mash Up ($66 buy-in), and the $100K GTD Moorman’s Mayhem ($630 buy-in). Starting this Sunday, players can log into the ACR Poker client, open the Tournaments tab, and find the full lineup of Daily Mystery Bounty events in the regular schedule under upcoming events.

And don’t forget, the Mystery Bounty madness continues in ACR Poker’s massive Dual Venom tournaments taking place from Sunday, August 10th to Tuesday, August 26th. Not only are the $2,650 buy-in tourneys offering huge guarantees of $8 million in the NHL event and $2 million in the PLO event, but there are massive bounties on the table for those who knock out their competitors.

In the Venom NLH, eliminating just one opponent could earn a player the top bounty prize of $500,000. While in the Venom PLO, which ties ACR Poker’s biggest Omaha tourney ever, there’s a juicy $200,000 bounty for the taking. And that’s not all, every knockout in both tourneys earns players a minimum bounty of at least $5,000.

Keep going as long as you can handle it, and you might walk out as the top dog of the jungle.

Marharyta Yerina, ELA Games’ Managing Director, commented on the game’s release, “With Shoot Happens, the team ventured outside of conventional game formats, and we wanted to give players a super engaging experience where they’re in control. This title is a bold approach to game design in this industry, as we’re empowering players with choice and enriching the gameplay experience with strong visuals, narratives, and plenty of replayability.”

AGA Research Reveals Consumers Know Sweepstakes Casinos are Gambling

Published

As gaming regulators, state Attorneys General, and state legislatures continue to scrutinize the business practices of online “sweepstakes” casinos, new research shows that consumers overwhelmingly use these platforms to gamble – and that sweepstakes operators are heavily targeting players in key states. By exploiting loopholes in the law, these operations undermine the integrity of the legal, regulated gaming marketplace.

According to Sensor Tower data compiled by the American Gaming Association (AGA), half of all online, real-money casino advertisements seen by consumers in early 2025 promoted offshore “sweepstakes” casinos. The data shows these unregulated operators concentrate their advertising in populous states.

“These operators present themselves like legal, regulated platforms – but they operate outside the law and regulation. There are few if any responsible gaming tools, no regulatory oversight, and no consumer protections. It’s a dangerous subterfuge that puts players at real risk,” said AGA Vice President of Government Relations, Tres York.

Despite operating outside the regulated gaming market, “sweepstakes” casinos are widely perceived by players as gambling platforms, with 68% of users saying their primary reason for playing is to win real money. This confusion is no accident – many of these sites mimic the look, feel, and language of legal operators, blurring the line for consumers and reinforcing the need for clearer enforcement and public education.

Key findings include:

• 90% of sweepstakes casino users consider the activity to be gambling.

• 69% describe sweepstakes casinos as places to wager real money.

• 80% of sweepstakes players spend monthly, and nearly half spend weekly, without the safety nets offered by regulated operators.

The number of monthly sweepstakes casino players is twice as high in states lacking sweepstakes prohibitions.

“Sweepstakes” casinos aggressively market on popular digital platforms throughout the country. Legal, regulated gaming operators, by contrast, advertise responsibly in legal states where consumer protections and regulatory oversight are in place.

“The data is clear. Consumers see right through the ‘sweepstakes’ casino facade and they’re calling it what it is: gambling. We look forward to policymakers continuing to enforce their laws and create clarity through new policy measures to protect their residents,” added York.
