Kalamba Games offers progressive thrills in Wilds From The Crypt
Kalamba Games is offering up progressive buildable mechanics in its latest spooky release Wilds From The Crypt.
The title’s 6×4 reels are filled with symbols that align with the overall stylish aesthetic of the slot depicting various members of a supernatural family. These must form a matching combination across the slot’s 40 paylines to award a win.
Wilds appear on the reels which substitute for all base game symbols. The Lucky Loops feature sees players attempt to summon the Purple Ghost Wild every tenth spin by collecting potions. Split into three sections, every third potion grants a wild reel, adding it to the game board and resetting after the tenth spin.
Three scatters are required to enter the bonus round where sticky wilds will be held throughout all subsequent spins. Multipliers are attached to them, increasing by 1x after each spin driving up the winning potential of this classic horror-themed title.
Kalamba’s popular HyperBet feature allows players to personalise the experience and control whether wild reels granted in the base game will have a multiplier attached and how many spins are granted in the free spins round, thus increasing the wild’s potential multiplier. The changeable multiplier and volatility result in a variation in the player’s stake size. Buy Bonus also further tailors the experience to player preferences.
This multifaceted release provides a buildable bonus round and consistent big win potential in the base game. The spooky theme contrasts the more jovial design featured in recent releases from the studio like Gold Tracker 7s and Hyper Blitz Hold And Win exemplifying Kalamba’s commitment to a diverse and varied portfolio.
Alex Cohen, COO and Co-Founder at Kalamba Games, said: “Wilds From The Crypt will appeal to both new and existing fans of our high-quality content offering. Its distinctive theme and range of features elevate the engagement on offer and present the player with a next-level experience.
“The inclusion of HyperBet allows players to personalise their session, aligning with their play preferences in a frightfully fun slot filled with thrills.”

Casino Guru enriches its portfolio with a dedicated sweepstakes casino database and updated safety index
Casino Guru, the global authority on online casino transparency and player safety, is expanding its portfolio with the introduction of a dedicated sweepstakes casino overview tailored to the rapidly evolving U.S. market.
Following months of in-depth research and development, the company has unveiled a new initiative focused on social sweepstakes casinos — a unique and increasingly popular segment of the online gaming space. As part of this expansion, Casino Guru has adapted its trusted Safety Index to reflect the specific characteristics of sweepstakes casino models.
“We’ve been hearing about sweepstakes casinos for quite some time, from social media buzz to community discussions and expert panels,” said Jozef Krucay, Branch Operations Lead at Casino Guru. “It became clear this wasn’t just a passing trend, but a notable shift in how people engage with online entertainment.”
Unlike traditional online casinos, sweepstakes casinos use virtual currencies such as Gold Coins, Sweeps Cash, or Vegas Gems. Players can enjoy games for free or use purchasable coins to enhance their experience. With some luck, they may receive a special sweepstakes currency, which can be redeemed for real-world prizes — presenting both exciting opportunities and important considerations for player protection.
Casino Guru’s newly launched content includes:
- Listings for 11 published sweepstakes casinos, with over 60 more identified and currently in development
- An adapted Safety Index that reflects the distinct risks and rules of sweepstakes platforms
- Educational materials and player resources, including complaint-handling tools
- Planned detailed reviews to provide deeper insights into each platform
“Our goal is to help players navigate this growing space with the same clarity and confidence we’ve brought to traditional online casinos,” Jozef added. “As always, our focus remains on transparency, safety, and informed decision-making.”
This new direction positions Casino Guru at the forefront of player advocacy in emerging casino formats — with a clear path toward future expansion in the broader world of social and sweepstakes gaming.
