Maxima Compliance’s Dutch office means we can now provide bespoke and local expertise to operators and suppliers in the Netherlands.”

Tom de Bruijn, Co-Founder of Gran Via BV, said: “Since the Netherlands finally launched its regulated online gaming framework last year, the market is quickly developing into one of the most important in Europe. Gaming businesses are learning that a deep understanding of local conditions and requirements, particularly when it comes to compliance, is essential. That’s why we are thrilled to be working alongside the best in the business, Maxima Compliance.”

To further demonstrate its long-term commitment to the fast-growing Dutch market, Maxima Compliance will also partner with leading Dutch B2B iGaming community Gaming in Holland from 2022.

Willem van Oort, Founder of Gaming in Holland, said: “I am very happy to welcome Maxima Compliance to the Netherlands-focused iGaming community. In order to operate successfully in the highly-regulated Dutch market, technical compliance is of paramount importance. This holds true not only for licensed operators, but also for related B2B service providers.”

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has released 4 Horsemen III: Inferno to complement the wildly popular Mythology series.

4 Horsemen III: Inferno invites players into an apocalyptic hellscape where the reels are engulfed by a scorched wasteland under burning skies. A relentlessly surging and dark soundtrack creates an atmosphere thick with tension. The Horsemen return, Conquest, War, Famine, and Death, each carrying their own Free Spins feature, which is triggered with three or more full-sized Scattered Free Spins symbols.

Each time players discover three or more Free Spins symbols, they can move on to the next Free Spins feature, seeking bigger returns. The first Horseman is Conquest and offers Winning Symbols Respins. In this first stage, all winning combinations trigger a respin, with winning symbols staying in place while non-winning symbols are substituted for new ones.

The next Free Spins stage is Extra Wilds and this is represented by War. This time while the reels are spinning, three to five extra Wild symbols can appear on the slot to increase winning chances. Five Wild symbols on a winning line will pay x300.

Any players who find another three or more full-sized Scattered Free Spins will follow the map onto Famine – which is a Shifting Reels Free Spins feature. During this round, after each win the game will trigger a free respin where all the reels move one row down and a new row on top will be revealed.

The final resting place is Death for the Stacked Wild Respins feature where each occasion a stacked Wild symbol appears fully on the reel a respin will be triggered.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “4 Horsemen III: Inferno is a chaos-fuelled title packed with four epic features within the Free Games mode. The red-hot design is visually striking, and players will be hoping to ride from the flames with a fortune.”
