Swintt uncovers the treasures of the Nile in Cleopatras Pearls
Innovative software provider’s latest Premium release invites players to come and spin up a pharaoh’s fortune with the help of big money free spins connected to four local jackpots
This month, hotshot software developer, Swintt, is asking players to spin like an Egyptian in their latest Premium release, Cleopatras Pearls – a brand-new, pharaoh-themed slot that sees the welcome return of the studio’s popular Pearl feature and four signature jackpots.
Being a Premium title, Cleopatras Pearls again features the familiar sounds and gameplay mechanics players will recognise from classic slot machines; though the game’s graphics have certainly been given a new lick of paint, with action taking place in front of an atmospheric hieroglyphic-strewn background.
Though players will notice the appearance of iconic ace-through-ten playing card values at the lower end of the paytable, unique symbols to feature across Cleopatras Pearls’ five reels and 50 fixed paylines include shields, sarcophagi, statues of Horus and Cleopatra herself – though the one icon they’ll really need to look out for is the golden pearl, which is key to triggering the slot’s titular bonus.
Should six or more of these lucky symbols appear anywhere during a single spin, players will be whisked away to a new 5×3 set of reels where only the triggering pearls are displayed. Initially, each of these symbols will spin to reveal a cash prize and players will receive a starting set of three free spins.
During the feature, each new round will reduce the free spin counter by one, but should a new pearl symbol appear, it will be reset to its starting level. Action will continue in this manner until either all available reel spaces are filled or the counter reaches zero, but there are many more surprises in store.
Rather than a prize value, certain pearl symbols will instead display a bonus modifier, with these dramatically upgrading how the feature is played. Available modifiers include arrows that add an extra row to the feature gameboard, plus icons which increase players’ maximum number of free spins by one, dollar symbols which boost the value of up to five pearls, multipliers which double all prizes and a moneybag, which will add together the value of all currently-won pearls to create an additional prize.
Not only that, but the dollar and moneybag pearls are also available in VIP versions – which mean they award their modifier not just once, but after each and every spin – and players may also be lucky enough to stumble upon a special chest icon. When this happens, a countdown of ten will be displayed to indicate the number of spins needed before the chest will open; and once this number reaches zero, players will randomly receive a Minor, Major, Maxi or Mega Pot.
With all that huge prize potential up for grabs in the Pearl spin feature, it’s understandable players might not want to wait to trigger the bonus during the base game – so luckily for them, Cleopatras Pearls also boasts a Buy Feature Games button so they can jump into the action whenever they please.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Since its debut, Swintt’s Pearl feature has been a popular addition to our SwinttPremium range of slots – and we’ve been constantly refining the bonus with each new release to the point that it now includes all manner of highly-rewarding extras.
“This is certainly the case in our exciting new Egyptian-themed release, Cleopatras Pearls, where players will now have access to boosters, multipliers and summarisers which can all increase their standard payouts, as well as four special jackpot prizes to boost winnings to a maximum of 3,000 x the bet!”

2025 PUBG MOBILE Global Championship Details, Format, and Map Changes Revealed at Esports World Cup

James Yang, Senior Director of Global Esports at Level Infinite, has shared a number of exciting reveals for the future of PUBG MOBILE Esports. Among this news is the official plan for the second half of the 2025 competitive season, including further information on the format and changes coming to the prestigious PUBG MOBILE Global Championship (PMGC) at the end of the year. These changes are set to amplify the excitement at the final major competition in this year’s circuit, allowing more opportunities for teams to make it to number one.
As the final tournament of the annual PUBG MOBILE Esports circuit, the 2025 PMGC is the most anticipated event of the year, with professional teams vying for their chance to etch their name in esports history as the ultimate Champions of the PUBG MOBILE year. For this reason, the best teams across the world are invited to take their shot at victory. This year sees the introduction of the Gauntlet Stage to the tournament — an initial stage where the 16 best teams from each region are selected for an initial chance to go straight to the Grand Finals, with six slots up for grabs.
In order to qualify for the Gauntlet Stage, teams must be placed within the top two or three spots in the regional 2025 PUBG MOBILE Super League (PMSL) Fall Rankings, but this is not the only opportunity to enter the tournament. The bottom 10 ranked teams from the Gauntlet will enter the Group Stage, alongside 22 teams from across the globe. These 22 teams are made up of the top-scoring teams from every region, with the combined 32 teams facing off in two groups for a further four qualifying slots per group.
The final two slots are made up of the overall winner of the host-region invite slot and the winner of the Last Chance stage, where the teams ranked 5th-12th from the Group Stage will get one more shot at qualifying for the Grand Finals.
Many other changes were announced as PUBG MOBILE Esports seeks to close the gap between professional play and the wider player experience. Kicking this off, Rondo is replacing Sanhok in the official map rotation from the 2025 PMSL Fall Season, and with it comes a myriad of impactful changes. To begin, the Recall System makes a return to the competitive formula, allowing eliminated players to rejoin the battle should their teammates safely secure their tag. Sentry Guards and drops will also be introduced in keeping with the original Rondo experience and the Blue Zone speed will remain the same. However, the iconic map stores will not be available, meaning players will have to scavenge for gear just as they do in other maps.
With the action-heavy updates revealed, PUBG MOBILE Esports has also highlighted some of the best moments across the various tournaments to date. This involves a look at the skill of standout performances, key historical moments, and also recognising amazing examples of how gaming can connect people across the globe.
Beginning with the former, following two years of persistence, Indonesia’s GluSquad Esports made their mark on the game, qualifying for the PMSL SEA for the first time, earning widespread support for their fresh energy in the summer season. Waves were also made in Africa, as Memoitho made history becoming the first woman in PUBG MOBILE Esports to reach the Top 3 in the 2025 PUBG MOBILE Africa Cup (PMAC) Kenya Solo Competition. Then to Nepal, where Horaa Esports celebrated their qualification in the 2025 PMWC, marking their debut entry into a major global tournament.
Alongside these great stories are many heartwarming highlights from over the years, such as Team Nile’s own 11011Enemy, who defied the odds while managing mobility issues from sickle cell disease, securing MVP in a crucial match, and going on to represent Nigeria in Saudi Arabia. In a similar vein, a community of gamers with disabilities from Turkey were brought together by PUBG MOBILE, growing into a 50 person group of supportive players across the country. PUBG MOBILE is also celebrating the love and support shown by pro players’ families. Earlier this year, the father of Regnum Carya Esports’ Sylas celebrated his son’s success at the 2025 PUBG MOBILE Global Open (PMGO). Then at the 2025 PMWC, the father of POWR Esports’ Alhaje cheered on his son from the crowd as the weekend unfolded. With this, both of these proud fathers proved their place as their sons’ number one fans. Last but not least, fans will remember how football star Richarlison met his partner through their mutual love for PUBG MOBILE Esports.
With a plethora of significant updates to the tournament formula, the reintroduction of impactful features, and many more stories to be made, PUBG MOBILE Esports fans have plenty to look forward to for the rest of the year and beyond.

Evolution launches Ice Fishing, the fast-paced game show with up to 5,000x win potential

Evolution announced the launch of Ice Fishing, a fast-paced new addition to its live game show portfolio, first revealed at ICE 2025. Set against an arctic backdrop, Ice Fishing puts a fresh spin on the big money wheel format, with three unique bonus games, suspenseful gameplay, and multiplier wins of up to 5,000x.
At the centre of the game is a 53-segment wheel, where each spin can award an instant cash prize or trigger one of three themed bonus rounds: Lil’ Blues, Big Oranges, and Huge Reds. Each bonus offers its own gameplay style and multiplier potential — up to 100x, 200x and 500x respectively.
Enhancing the excitement are multiplier boosts that can land during the main game and carry through into the bonus rounds. This adds an extra layer of anticipation and a max win potential of up to 5,000x.
Todd Haushalter, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer, said: “We’ve wanted to create a speed game show for a long time, as we’re seeing a growing audience that craves faster, more instantly gratifying formats. It’s a trend not unlike the rising preference for TikTok-style shorts over long-form video. Ice Fishing is our take on that idea. It’s fast, fun, and packed with dramatic gameplay.”
Haushalter added: “The magic lies in the anticipation, waiting to see what kind of fish players will catch and how big the outcome might be. There are little surprises and bursts of excitement woven into the entertainment experience, and we think players will enjoy uncovering them. We’re genuinely excited about this format, as it opens the door to a new style of rapid game show with strong potential.”
