AvatarUX rolls out a new iteration of its hit mechanic in Irish-themed Pop O’Gold
Award-winning slots studio AvatarUX has released its first Irish-themed game, Pop O’Gold™, featuring new and exciting mechanic – StickyPop™.
StickyPop™ is a variation of the innovative supplier’s hit mechanic PopWins™, and sees winning combinations remain on the reels while an entire new set of symbols tumble from above.
Each reel can increase from three to five symbols high in base play and seven in free spins. When no new sticky symbols are possible, the spin ends.
At the beginning of each spin, there is the chance that two or more reels can become boosted. These can see all symbols landing having a multiplier attached for significantly increased win potential.
If all reels reach five icons high, the free spins mode is activated. Prior to this, players can utilise the Gamble Wheel feature, which can increase the number of spins awarded.
During this mode, there is a starting multiplier of 2x for every win, which increases by 1x for every accumulated win, leading to huge wins of up to 20,000x.
In certain jurisdictions, players can progress directly to free spins via one of two Buy Bonus options, the Magic Bonus or Max Magic Bonus.
Pop O’Gold™ is the latest launch from AvatarUX to contain a proprietary mechanic, with its offering now boasting four different marquee ones – PopWins™ with its ZapReel™ and StickyPop™ variations and MultiPop™.
The game is initially available exclusively to AvatarUX’s partners with direct integrations and will be rolled out globally later.
Nicola Longmuir, CEO at AvatarUX, said: “We’re delighted to roll out our unique twist on the popular Irish-themed genre, with a darker take in Pop O’Gold™. Adding on the PopWins™ experience with the brand new StickyPop™ mechanic allows us to explore new models and features, and we’re incredibly excited about its potential.
“We want to continue to add thrilling new games and concepts to our product offering, and Pop O’Gold™ is no exception as we push the boundaries of what’s possible in a slot experience.”
Zitro, a leading global gaming company, has announced the successful launch of its first Wide Area Progressive (WAP) in Argentina, with over 45 slot cabinets initially installed in five gaming halls located at the Hipódromo de Palermo. The product selected for this project is the successful game “Mighty Hammer Ultimate” on Zitro’s premium cabinet, “Altius Glare.”
This system represents the first WAP in South America. A shared jackpot called “Mega Pozo Mighty Hammer” starts at 50 million Pesos and grows progressively, making it the largest accumulated prize in the region. The official inauguration was held on December 19th during the exclusive “Noche de Palermo” event, including a live performance by the renowned Argentinian band Los Totora.
Company Directors commented: “We are very pleased to introduce Argentina’s first WAP at the Hipódromo de Palermo. This project – for which we partnered with Zitro – reiterates Casino Club’s commitment to innovation, always under the premise of offering our customers an entertainment experience that exceeds all their expectations.”
For her part, Alejandra Burato, Regional Director of Zitro for LatAm, commented: “The launch of our first WAP in Argentina is a very important milestone for Zitro, as it confirms our company as a supplier of machines for WAPs. Attending the inauguration event and seeing firsthand how our products connect with players has been a pleasure, providing a unique and different entertainment experience in the region. Additionally, I want to highlight the excellent marketing surrounding the launch, contributing to its success. Finally, I would like to thank Casino Club for their trust and collaboration, which has allowed us to present this innovative proposal in such a renowned and emblematic place as the Hipódromo de Palermo.”
The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, the largest content hub in the iGaming industry, has secured Brazilian certification, becoming one of the first in the market to achieve this milestone.
Regulatory rules for iGaming come into effect in Brazil on 1 January 2025. According to them, platforms, aggregators, sportsbooks, and providers must undergo certification. Companies aiming to provide their services in Brazil in 2025 and beyond have been preparing for this transition throughout the year.
The SOFTSWISS team announces that its Game Aggregator is the first to fully comply with regulations, completing all necessary preparations and receiving the certificate to ensure smooth and efficient operations for its clients.
SOFTSWISS has also obtained certification for integration with the world’s largest game providers – Pragmatic Play, Evolution, and Playtech. These providers offer a diverse range of games tailored to suit the preferences of Brazilian players, from immersive live dealer experiences to engaging slots and table games, ensuring entertainment for every type of player.
According to recent Kantar research conducted in November 2024, the overall satisfaction index for the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is 8.1 out of 10. Remarkably, half of the respondents rated the product a 10 or 9. Customer support service satisfaction scored even higher, at 8.4 out of 10.
The Game Aggregator also boasts a key advantage: consistent 99.999% uptime, which is crucial for the iGaming business.
Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, notes: “According to our information, the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is the first aggregator fully prepared, both technically and legally, to work in Brazil when the new regulations take effect. This is a significant achievement that the team has worked on diligently and systematically. Our work doesn’t stop here – we are actively adding new providers to help our clients expand their presence in this promising Brazilian market, which is no longer ‘the sleeping giant’. It has awakened, and SOFTSWISS is at the forefront of this exciting transformation.”
To support this high level of performance, earlier this year SOFTSWISS appointed Rubens Barrichello, the Brazilian Formula 1 legend, as a Non-Executive Director, demonstrating its strong commitment to the local market. To ensure efficient operations and promptly address ongoing matters, SOFTSWISS also has a dedicated team of local business development managers in Brazil.
SOFTSWISS team will be available to discuss partnership in Brazil and other markets at the first major iGaming event of 2025 – ICE Barcelona, taking place on 20–22 January, at stand 2G42.
