, Mermaid’s Jackpot Win & Spin and Fortune Bao Bao Win & Spin in New Jersey, USA. Each game features Inspired’s progressive jackpot mechanic, offering players an engaging iGaming experience with enhanced winning potential.
Packed with exciting ways to win, each title features two thrilling bonus games. The Free Spins Bonus features static jackpots, while the Win & Spin Bonus offers static jackpots and two progressive jackpots: Major and Grand.

Featuring a variety of captivating themes, this exhilarating trio encompasses a unified 5×3 reel layout and a consistent jackpot design, to streamline and enhance the gameplay experience.
Cleo’s Jackpot Win & Spin is an exhilarating Egyptian-themed slot adventure that harnesses the mystique of the ancient pyramids. Rich with Wilds, pyramid Bonus scatters, and the golden Win & Spin scarab symbol, the game offers fun features designed to reward players with substantial potential wins.
Players trigger the Free Spins Bonus by landing three or more Free Spins Bonus symbols in the base game, transforming Win & Spin symbols into potent Wilds. The Win & Spin Bonus can be activated by landing six or more Win & Spin symbols in the base game or during the Free Spins Bonus. Players can enjoy continuous spins until there are no more left, or until they fill the grid with Win & Spin symbols, unlocking prizes and accumulating rewards. Players who fill all 15 positions in the Win & Spin Bonus can claim the illustrious Grand Progressive Jackpot.
Mermaid’s Jackpot Win & Spin invites players to dive into a slots fantasy and embark on an enchanting underwater adventure, where big wins await them beneath the game’s crystal-clear waters. Landing three or more Free Spins Bonus symbols in the base game triggers the game’s Free Spins Bonus, where the enigmatic mermaid transforms reels two, three, and four into a Mega Reel, supercharged with 3×3 versions of all reel symbols.
To enter the Win & Spin Bonus, players must land six or more Win & Spin symbols in the base game or the Mega Pearl in the Free Spins Bonus. The player continues spinning the reels until they have no spins remaining or the entire grid is filled with Win & Spin symbols. When the bonus ends, the value of all Win & Spin symbols is accumulated and awarded to the player. If all 15 positions are filled with Win & Spin symbols, the Grand Progressive Jackpot is awarded, in addition to the player’s total win.
Fortune Bao Bao Jackpot Win & Spin is an Asian-themed slot brimming with auspicious symbols, thrilling gameplay, and fun Wilds, offering players a wealth of good fortune. Players can trigger the Free Spins Bonus game by landing three or more Free Spins Bonus scatters in the base game. This feature includes high-paying symbols such as Bonus scatters and Wilds, which can multiply a player’s line wins.
Entering the Win & Spin Bonus requires a player to land six Win & Spin symbols in the base game or in the Free Spins Bonus, represented in-game by the luminous golden coins with varying cash or jackpot values. These symbols remain locked in their positions as the player continues spinning the reels until they have no spins left or the entire grid is filled with Win & Spin symbols. At the end of the Bonus, the value of all Win & Spin symbols is accumulated and awarded to the player. If all 15 positions are filled with Win & Spin symbols, the player’s total win plus the Grand Progressive Jackpot is awarded.

Neosurf & Betting Hero to reveal results of their in-depth study into US online gambling and payment habits in exclusive two-part webinar series
Neosurf, the globally trusted provider of swift and secure cash-to-digital payment solutions, has announced it will be sharing the findings of a recent study into the online betting habits, preferences and frustrations of US players in an exclusive two-part webinar series beginning on January 14th.
Neosurf commissioned the research via Betting Hero – a leading US-based iGaming portal with expertise in casino, sports betting and DFS. The webinars will see Neosurf CEO Americas, Sue Page, Betting Hero’s Co-Founder and President, Jai Maw, and Senior Director of Product and Research, Ernie Ropas, dive into the report’s key findings and discuss what some of the more surprising results could mean for operators.
The survey, which featured respondents from New Jersey, Colorado and North Carolina, aimed to help operators and regulators within the gambling industry better understand the typical US bettor – how and why they bet, what tools they use to manage their budget and what Responsible Gaming means to them. The findings will be revealed in the webinars and used to identify areas where Neosurf’s products can help operators provide a better user experience.
The research highlighted several aspects of payments and responsible gaming that bettors felt could be improved. Problems with payments remain an issue – 52% of respondents said that they’d experienced payment issues in the past year, and with over 50% depositing and withdrawing multiple times each month, there is a significant cost impact to the operators.
Additionally, respondents indicated they’d be in favour of using a service that could share pre-verified ID information with operators, with ease of use for new payment methods and seamless integration across multiple platforms identified as important factors in their choosing and remaining loyal to a single sports betting platform.
Sue Page, Neosurf CEO Americas, said: “It was important to us to gain a more detailed insight into the US sports bettor. We wanted to talk to the players and ask questions that no one else is asking, and through our collaboration with Betting Hero I’m delighted that we now have a comprehensive piece of research.
“Offering valuable insights into player habits – how and why they bet, the ongoing pain points they’re experiencing with payments and their thoughts on Responsible Gaming—we’ll be taking a deep dive into the results of the survey in our two-part webinar series starting at 10:00 ET on January 14th, and we encourage all US-focused operators and regulators to join us.”
