Inspired Entertainment, Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of its latest line up of Spring games, Catch of the Day Reeling ‘Em In™ and Wild Winner™.

Packed with big wins, Catch of the Day Reeling ‘Em In, is the latest “turbot”-charged fish-themed online and mobile slot from Inspired’s Astra studio and offers players a fin-tastic iGaming experience.

With a reel configuration of 5×3 with 10 win-lines, Catch of the Day Reeling ‘Em In and its crystal-clear waters transports players to a land of fishing fun, where any-fin is possible. The base game offers players numerous ways to win, with its colorful graphics and vibrant reels spinning to reveal bonus scatters and fish symbols that represent multiple combinations of mixed pays.

Land three scatters to trigger the game’s exciting Free Spins Bonus, where more wins are up for grabs! During Free Spins, the game’s Fisherman symbol catches all fish in view, and advances along the game’s progressive trail, shown above the reels. The values shown on all fish are multiples of the player’s base game stake.

If a player reaches the re-trigger positions along the trail, they will win more Free Spins in addition to the chance of bagging extra re-spins. The aim of the bonus is to reach the end of the trail for the maximum re-spin winning potential.

With great features including the Gamble allowing access to Free Spins, and Bonus Buy giving players the chance to purchase direct entry into the Bonus round (in applicable territories), Catch of the Day Reeling ‘Em In is a medium-volatility game with a return to player (RTP) rate of 94.52% for casual fishing fun.

Spin for a win with Wild Winner, a classic casino-themed online and mobile slot game from Inspired’s Bell-Fruit studio , set to get players’ pulses racing to hit the jackpot!

With a game profile similar to Inspired’s hit title Gold Cash Big Spins™ and featuring Inspired’s Gamble to Spins mechanic, Wild Winner has a reel configuration of 5×4 with 30 win-lines. It is a medium-to-high volatility slot with an RTP of 94.5%.

Wild Winner brings players guaranteed Free Spins to deliver gameplay excitement in abundance. Packed with casino style symbols and fun Wilds, the game offers players regular base game wins.

Landing three or more bonus scatters in the base game triggers the Wild Winner Free Spins. If fewer than three appear in view, the bonus scatters change to Wilds and the multiplier is applied to any wins they achieve. In Free Spins, the multiplier of each scatter that triggered the Bonus is displayed above the relevant reels. Any Wilds landing on the reels have this multiplier applied to wins. Win multipliers can combine to award the player big pay outs!

Claire Osborne, Vice President of Interactive at Inspired, said: “We’re thrilled to be launching two very different slot games this Spring, offering players more breadth of choice and a feast of fun and entertainment!

“Catch of the Day Reeling ‘Em In is an exciting game with a popular theme and great mechanics. Packed with multipliers, Wild Winner will delight players as they sit back and watch their Free Spins deliver juicy cash wins!”

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, has partnered with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organiser. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it is their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.

As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organisers, teams, sponsors and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.

Artyom Odintsov, Co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.

“It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest.

“Esports Charts has always been driven by a mission to provide the esports community with accurate, actionable data, and we look forward to showcasing the impact and audience engagement of this world-class event.”

StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 15 years now, since hosting its first tournaments in 2011. Renowned for its innovation and reliability, the company has organised some of the industry’s most iconic events. These include the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019, which accumulated over 44 million hours watched and remains in the top 10 CS events by this metric, and the legendary StarSeries tournaments which started back in 2012.

Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder, said: “We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity. In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.

“We’re confident that this partnership will result in a high-quality analysis of our tournament’s performance and the audience data we’ll report to our partners. It’s a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate esports to the next level.”

The Starladder Budapest Major 2025 will be held from November 24 to December 14 in Budapest, Hungary. The event will bring together the world’s top 32 Counter-Strike 2 teams to compete for a $1.25 million prize pool and one of the most prestigious titles in esports.
