Playson, the fast-growing digital entertainment supplier, has increased its collection of gemstone-themed titles with the release of Ultra Fortunator: Hold and Win.

The 5×3 slot is filled with beautiful gem and golden symbols, delivering striking visuals that give slots fans a captivating and immersive playing experience.

Players must collect three Bonus symbols on the central reel to trigger the supplier’s well-liked Bonus Game powered by Hold and Win mechanics. Once the mode is launched, players win three spins and each new Bonus symbol resets the number of respins to three.

The three Bonus symbols that launched the mode stick to the central reel and pay out every time a new symbol lands, giving players a more rewarding Bonus Game and guaranteeing an increase in player enjoyment.

To further enhance the gameplay, the mode also features Mystery symbols which remain until there are no respins left and transform into Jackpot symbols: Mini, Minor, Major or Grand – with a mouth-watering x1000 multiplier up for grabs.

Nikolay Illiustrov, Playson Head of Games, said: “We’re delighted to announce the release of Ultra Fortunator: Hold and Win, a fantastic new game that will certainly please players.  

“We’re always looking for ways in which we can improve our product offering and provide more entertainment to players, with the new central-reel feature giving fans a terrific prospect.”

In response to the recent and prior sports wagering tax increases passed by the Illinois state legislature on all mobile and online sports wagers placed with licensed operators, DraftKings Inc. announced that it will implement a 50-cent transaction fee on all mobile and online bets placed in Illinois through DraftKings Sportsbook, effective September 1, 2025.

“Illinois has been an important part of our growth, and we’re proud to have contributed meaningfully to the state through tax revenue, job creation, and a sustained investment in responsible gaming tools and resources. We are disappointed that Illinois policymakers have chosen to more than triple our tax rate over the past two years, and we are very concerned about what this will do to the legal, regulated industry. Meanwhile, Illinois continues to fuel the rapidly growing illegal industry, which pays no taxes or fees and provides none of the consumer protections that regulated operators offer,” said Jason Robins, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of DraftKings.
