Tom Horn Gaming, an igaming software solutions supplier, is proud to announce the launch of their new slot game, Wild Dragon’s Fortune.

The game transports players to a mythical world of the Far East where wild dragons and the Gifts of Fortune hold the power to shape the fate of those who spin the reels and chase the wins across the 5×4 grid of this high volatility game.

Featuring a range of exciting game mechanics and visually stunning graphics, Wild Dragon’s Fortune is designed to captivate players from the moment they hit the spin button. The game boasts an array of enticing features, including Dragon Wild symbols with multipliers, Gifts of Fortune symbols, free spins, and QuickX™.

The Dragon Wild symbols act as powerful jokers, substituting for all symbols except the Scatter. Each Wild symbol that appears in a winning combination multiplies the line win by the amount displayed on the symbol. If multiple Wild symbols grace a winline, the multipliers multiply each other, leading to higher win potential.

Additionally, Wild Dragon symbols are linked to the Gifts of Fortune bonus game. This feature adds another layer of anticipation and reward to the game. The Gifts of Fortune are four high symbols – scroll, upgraded by default, coins, vase, and golden ingot. Players can activate the desired number of the Gifts of Fortune symbols. Depending on their number, players will play with more paylines ( 20, 40, 100, and 1024, respectively) and will unlock Dragon Wilds with higher multipliers.

By collecting three Scatter symbols, players can trigger free spins, during which Dragon Wilds remain on the reels, shifting positions and changing multipliers with each spin. Wild Dragon’s Fortune offers players four free spins options, each with its own number of Dragon Wilds, Gifts of Fortune symbols, and paylines. The Gifts of Fortune symbols further enhance the free spins multiplier, multiplying all winnings by the player’s bet multiplier from the triggering base game spin.

In addition to its exciting features, the game is enhanced with the supplier’s proprietary QuickX™ bonus mechanic, which takes players straight into the heart of the action, increasing their chances of massive wins. The four QuickX™ levels provide a high level of customization, allowing players to choose from a range of multipliers, thus adjusting the gameplay to their liking. Tom Horn Gaming introduced QuickX™ in a Christmas instalment of its popular 243 Crystal Fruits series, followed by 81 Vegas Magic.

When 5 Votes Make All the Difference: A Special Moment at the GamingTECH CEE Awards

At this year’s GamingTECH CEE Awards, we witnessed something rare—and pretty remarkable—in the “Best iGaming CEO in CEE” category.

With 214 total votes cast across 9 nominees, two names clearly rose to the top, standing apart from a highly competitive field:

  • Vlastimil Venclik, CEO at Oddin.gg
  • Dario Jurčić, CEO at NSoft

But here’s where it gets interesting: the difference between them? Just 5 votes.

That’s right—after weeks of online voting and a live secret ballot from summit participants, the final count came down to a 5-vote margin. In a category filled with respected leaders, innovators, and visionaries, two CEOs clearly resonated with the industry in a big way.

And while only one person can technically take home the winner’s trophy, this razor-thin result was too significant to ignore. So, for the first time in the history of the GamingTECH CEE Awards, we decided to introduce something new:

  • An Honorary Runner-Up Trophy for “Best iGaming CEO in CEE” awarded to Dario Jurčić, CEO of NSoft.

Why This Matters

The intent behind this decision is simple: When excellence is nearly indistinguishable, it deserves to be recognized.

Dario Jurčić has played a vital role in expanding NSoft’s influence, strengthening its presence in new markets, and leading with a people-first approach in a rapidly evolving sector. His visibility, leadership, and impact were clearly acknowledged by the voting community—and with just a handful of votes separating him from the top spot, it felt only right to shine a spotlight on that achievement.

A Testament to a Vibrant Industry

The closeness of this race also speaks volumes about the caliber of leadership we’re seeing in the Central and Eastern European iGaming space. With companies like Oddin.gg and NSoft pushing boundaries in their respective verticals, the region continues to establish itself as a dynamic force in the global gaming landscape.

We congratulate Vlastimil Venclik on his well-earned win, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation and applause to Dario Jurčić for standing out in such a competitive field.

Sometimes, even second place can tell a powerful story—and this year, it certainly did.
