Casino content developer Realistic Games has launched its new fishing-themed slot Catch 22 for an exclusive initial period with the Entain Group.

One of the studio’s most anticipated releases of the year, Catch 22 can only be enjoyed on the renowned operator’s brands including Ladbrokes, bwin and PartyCasino until May 5th when it is made available to the general network.

Catch 22 is played across 6×4 reels and has symbols in keeping with the overall nautical theme depicting fish, tackle, floats and more that must form a matching combination across 4,096 winning ways to create a win.

At least three scatter symbols award 10 free spins. However, players can unlock up to 50 free spins for landing additional scatters. In the bonus, these scatters are replaced by fishermen that reel in any fish symbols on the gameboard and award their instant cash prize.

Additional innovative features stand this fishing game out from the crowd, such as unlimited respins awarded for landing a fisherman without any fish and the Catch 22 mechanic, which turns all symbols into instant cash awarding fish whenever two fishermen are on the reels simultaneously.

The new release continues Realistic’s drive with content that delivers engaging and entertaining hits with a modern approach and follows recent successful releases including Chilli Master and Book of Charms.

Alice Timson, Head of Account Management at Realistic Games, said: “Catch 22 has been in development for some time and is a title that we’ve been particularly excited about, so to launch it with Entain exclusively is a real feather in our cap and the perfect platform to showcase it to the market.

“We’d like to thank Entain for its cooperation in making this happen and look forward to an incredibly successful launch.”

Turbo Duck takes flight in Stakelogic’s newest release

Feathers fly as a fearless duck dukes it out in a cyberpunk arcade in this exhilarating video slot!

Stakelogic has released its most action-packed slot to date with Turbo Duck, a high-octane title that blends intense gameplay with cinematic visuals and a winged hero who refuses to back down.

Set in a post-apocalyptic retro arcade, Turbo Duck follows Quack-9, a fearless duck mecha-pilot ready for action. As the gameplay unfolds, players join Quack-9 in the fight for control and massive multipliers.

Played across a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 15 fixed paylines, the game introduces a mix of Mystery Wilds, instant-win multipliers and three escalating Bonus Game modes.

Mystery Symbols land on reels 2 and 4, revealing either a Blue Wild, a Red Multiplier Wild up to 10x, or directional arrows that place additional Wilds nearby. During Free Spins, Blue Wilds can also award +2 extra Free Spins.

Landing three Bonus Symbols triggers 10 Free Spins and activates the Bonus Wheel, which determines one of three Free Spin variants: Bonus, Mega or Ultra. Each mode increases win potential through higher multiplier frequency and persistent Mystery Symbols. The most volatile mode, Ultra, removes all low-value multipliers and guarantees one high-value multiplier on every spin.

Multiplier Symbols appear in three tiers: Blue (2x–50x), Green (5x–100x), and Red (5x–500x with MAX WIN potential) and award instant prizes based on the base bet. The Turbo Blast feature, which can trigger on any spin, sees one to three multipliers onto the reels, with at least one guaranteed to be from the highest tier. When Multiplier symbols land on the reels Quack-9 will fire into life, destroying them for reveals that keep you on the edge of your seat.

For players who want to take control, Turbo Duck includes a Buy Bonus option with three entry levels, as well as the option to activate Super Stake™, doubling the chance of triggering Free Spins.

James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “Turbo Duck is a slot that really plays to our strengths. From the stylised visuals to the cinematic pacing, it’s built to stand out. While the theme adds plenty of character, it’s the underlying math that drives the experience, with a carefully balanced mix of volatility, momentum and feature depth designed to keep players engaged.”
