Nolimit City revisits the slammer in one of it’s most anticipated releases this year – San Quentin 2: Death Row

Nolimit City is back behind bars with San Quentin 2: Death Row. It’s been nearly 4 years since the OG San Quentin xWays® escaped into the world, and the fans have been hungry for more ever since. Well, the wait is over. It’s time to do hard time… again. This isn’t Nolimit City’s first sequel of the year, following the bangers Fire in the Hole 2 and Punk Rocker 2. But San Quentin 2? It’s something else!

San Quentin 2 steps it up a level from its predecessor with some serious graphic makeovers to the returning characters, including the one and only Beefy Dick. That’s not all! Nolimit City has also turned up the stakes by adding some tantalising features that’ll have your heart pounding harder than a prison escape on execution day.

In the base game, locked Enhancer Cells sit on top and below each reel, waiting to be cracked open by Bonus Symbols. Enhancer Cells may reveal 1 of the 5 top paying symbols, Wild Symbol, Razor Split or xWays® Symbol. Nolimit City’s signature xMechanics really come in clutch to elevate the gameplay in San Quentin 2. The Razor Split Symbol will shred the reels, splitting symbols like a sharpened shiv and in the event that another Razor Split Symbols lands on the top or bottom Enhancer Cells, then the symbols in the same reel are split twice! In addition to this there are regular Split Wilds that can land on any reel and will split all the regular symbols on the same reel.

The xWays® Symbol reveals a 5-high stacked symbol, but if two xWays® land in active Enhancer Cells, they flood the reel with 10 Wilds. xBet® guarantees 1 Bonus Symbol anywhere on the reels. Double xBet® guarantees 2 Bonus Symbols on the reels. Landing 1 or 2 Bonus Symbols in the base game will turn it into a Wild Symbol and open the Enhancer Cells on it’s reels.

Hitting 3,4 or 5 Bonus Symbols gets you closer to the execution date by heading into Green Mile Spins with 1,2 or 3 Jumping Wilds respectively.  But before you head down the Green Mile, you’ve got a tough choice: draw extra Jumping Wilds or keep what you’ve got. Players will get the opportunity to draw additional Jumping Wilds to a maximum of 5 Jumping Wilds or collect the Jumping Wilds already awarded. Be careful tho, drawing extra Jumping Wilds could come at the expense of losing 5 spins. Life in the yard is all about high risks, especially when reaching 5 Jumping Wilds, where you are given the choice to risk losing 5 spins or getting the Max Win!

Jumping Wilds also unlock Enhancer Cells based on their numbers, with some Wilds getting multipliers that double if split by a Razor Split. Land Bonus Symbols on closed cells? You’ll unlock more Jumping Wilds and extra spins—3 to 6, depending on how many Symbols you land. Landing Bonus Symbols on the reel with a closed Enhancer Cell will unlock it and then will transform into a Jumping Wild. Landing 2-5 Bonus Symbols will award 3-6 extra spins respectively!

It’s a lot to digest but you’ll have plenty of time for that while doing some hard time with Beefy. When execution day finally arrives, a whopping maximum payout of 200,000x the base bet is awarded. San Quentin 2: Death Row is considered to be “Insanely Volatile” which comes at no surprise, considering that Nolimit City are known for their highly volatile but high paying catalogue of online slots.

Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “We’re back at San Quentin, and what a wild ride this sequel has been. Expectations were sky-high, so we pulled out all the stops to create a game worthy of the San Quentin legacy. With a 200,000x max win and the option to trade spins for extra Jumping Wilds, we hope players get a thrill from San Quentin 2 just as much as we did making it!“

San Quentin 2: Death Row’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on September 24th, 2024.

Welcome to our weekly roundup of American gambling news again! Here, we are going through the weekly highlights of the American gambling industry which include the latest news and new partnerships. Read on and get updated.

Latest News

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario has issued monetary penalties totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto for multiple violations of provincial gaming standards. The penalties follow an impromptu after-party that was permitted to take place in the pre-dawn hours directly on the casino’s gaming floor. On September 27, 2024, an electronic dance music event attended by thousands of people was hosted in the theatre adjacent to the casino at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. The event was marked by widespread intoxication, disorderly behaviour and numerous criminal and medical incidents – both inside and outside the venue – including alleged assaults, drug overdoses and acts of public indecency. Although paid duty officers were present, additional police and emergency services were required to manage the situation.

International Game Technology PLC, doing business as Brightstar Lottery, announced that Michelle Carney, Brightstar’s Vice President of Global Lottery Marketing, will be inducted into the Lottery Industry Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2025. The induction ceremony will take place this September at an industry event in Ontario, Canada hosted by the Public Gaming Research Institute (PGRI) in conjunction with the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL). In her current role, Carney is responsible for the development of marketing and communications strategies that support growth for Brightstar’s Global Lottery business, including lottery product marketing, trade shows and events, thought leadership communications and B2C marketing campaign materials to support customer launches of new game content.

Partnerships

International Game Technology PLC announced that its subsidiary, IGT Canada Solutions ULC (IGT), signed an eight-year agreement with Atlantic Lottery to supply its IntelligenEVO video lottery central system technology across Atlantic Canada. The agreement includes the option for multiple extensions and positions the Atlantic Lottery to become the first World Lottery Association (WLA)-affiliated lottery operator to deploy IGT’s next-generation central management system in a game-to-system (G2S) distributed market. With peak system security, network availability and responsible gaming functionalities, IntelligenEVO is a reliable, scalable solution that can meet the needs of today and in the future. The solution will accelerate time-to-market and enables the Atlantic Lottery to benefit from the system’s suite of player-focused functionality. The technology’s G2S and open API design optimises data collection and delivery and will enable Atlantic Lottery to customise their programme for evolving player needs.

EDGE Boost by EDGE Markets, a financial platform for smart bettors and gamblers, has partnered with World Series of Poker, the premier series of worldwide poker tournaments. The EDGE Boost debit card is now the preferred payment method for WSOP, offering ease of payment, safety and several exclusive on-site perks for tournament players. In past tournaments, WSOP players were limited to $10,000 per transaction and had to complete a lengthy approval process, often resulting in frequent cash deposits. Now, those using the EDGE Boost card through PayPal checkout can bypass traditional credit card verification. They can also make entries up to $250,000, which eliminates the need to carry large sums of cash at the event and increases security measures.

Zimpler introduces ID+: A next-gen identification layer for digital payments

Zimpler, a leading Swedish company in Pay-by-bank solutions, today announced the launch of Zimpler ID+, a new identity layer designed to simplify compliance and accelerate user conversion within digital payment environments. By embedding biometric identification and regulatory checks directly into the first user interaction, Zimpler ID+ reduces friction in sectors with complex onboarding requirements.

“Zimpler ID+ gives our partners a direct path to compliance and conversion – cutting onboarding time, reducing drop-offs, and removing the need to build identity infrastructure in-house,” said Tobias Gunnesson, Chief Product Officer at Zimpler.

“While most verification flows still rely solely on deposit-based triggers or cookie tracking, we’re the first to enable verification at the point of entry – meeting compliance head-on and delivering a better user experience from the start.”

Purpose-built for highly regulated digital environments

Zimpler ID+ serves industries where compliance is critical and abandonment rates are costly, such as iGaming and financial services. It ensures users are verified from the start, without requiring deposits or post-registration identity checks.

Key features include:

  • Quick onboarding: Verification and collection of KYC data takes place at the first point of contact, not only at the point of payment
  • Seamless return user experience: Returning users can identify with biometric technology and are recognized with the help of cookies
  • Works even without cookies: If cookies are unavailable, the user can easily identify themselves using a passkey
  • Built-in compliance: Regulatory assurance at every step of the customer journey

By functioning as a unified identity layer from sign-up through repeat visits, Zimpler ID+ helps businesses minimize onboarding churn and maximize regulatory confidence.

Solving identification friction at scale

The launch of Zimpler ID+ comes as businesses across Europe face rising pressure to improve digital onboarding while maintaining regulatory standards. National ID systems remain foundational – but they weren’t built to optimize every business touchpoint.

Zimpler ID+ complements these systems by offering operators a plug-in layer of biometric identification and gathering of KYC information tailored to business needs. It removes the need for deposit triggers, repeated logins, or re-verification after a device change.

“With Zimpler ID+, we’re introducing a flexible approach that gives businesses more control over identity flows – without compromising security or relying solely on external systems” said Gunnesson.

Product availability

Zimpler ID+ is now available as a value-added service to select partners in Finland, with more markets to be added in the future.

By embedding advanced onboarding capabilities directly into its existing infrastructure, Zimpler expects ID+ to strengthen customer retention and enhance platform value across regulated sectors for years to come.

The iGaming industry got a taste of heavyweight ambition at iGB L!VE London 2025, where GR8 Tech unveiled its Heavyweight Club—an exclusive community that takes domination in iGaming markets as seriously as world champion Oleksandr Usyk takes defending his undisputed heavyweight title.

“iGB L!VE London was the ignition point for the Heavyweight Club. We showcased top-tier tech and connected with operators ready to lead, scale, and dominate. The energy, the conversations, the demand for real performance confirmed what we’ve always believed: the iGaming industry is hungry for heavyweight solutions and GR8 Tech is here to deliver,” said Sergey Ghazaryan, GR8 Tech’s CRO.

Industry Response Points to Market Appetite

With increased competition making differentiation more challenging, speed-to-market pressure intensifying as new markets emerge, and technology debt from legacy systems hindering operators’ growth, the industry is at a critical juncture. In 110 meetings with the sales team and over 65 conducted demos, operator feedback consistently centered on these exact challenges.

This shift is evident across the ecosystem. Mariia Shmelova, CEO of Aff.Tech—GR8 Tech’s proprietary affiliate management platform—observed similar patterns: “One major trend is the demand for greater transparency and performance accountability. Operators want to see exactly what’s driving traffic, conversions, and ROI. That’s why we’ve been doubling down on data—not just analytics, but actionable insights that affiliates and operators can use in real time. We’re also seeing growing interest in multi-geo, multi-brand campaigns, and our platform is built to support those kinds of complex setups with ease. Flexibility, automation, and smart integrations are the future.

The conversations revealed a clear understanding: champion ambitions require champion tools. Operators emphasized the need for high-performance solutions that deliver geo-specificity for local market domination and margin mastery that turns competitive pressure into profit advantage. The response highlighted how operators are seeking partners who understand that every champion needs exactly the right tools for their specific fight.

GR8 Tech’s approach resonated because it addresses this reality with three key solutions designed for different use scenarios:

  • Hyper Turnkey, which delivers fully managed casino and sportsbook operations that scale with ambition;
  • ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame with its lightning-fast integration and market-specific customization capabilities;
  • Infinite Casino Aggregation, offering premium gaming experiences with an operator-first flexibility.

This comprehensive approach ensures every operator gets precisely what they need to overcome their unique market challenges and achieve championship-level performance.

Heavyweight Club Momentum Builds Toward Next Championship Round

The “Fight for Greatness” collection drew significant attention on the show floor. Attendees’ enthusiasm for the showcased apparel and accessories, paired with strong performance of the online store, confirmed that the Heavyweight Club resonates far beyond technology—it’s a mindset people want to embody and a philosophy they want to wear.

GR8 Tech’s AR experience featuring Oleksandr Usyk became a magnet for attendees, with over 80 participants stepping into the champion’s world in one of the most memorable activations on the show floor. Winners of the AR experience didn’t just walk away with impressive pictures—they earned tickets to witness Usyk defend his undisputed heavyweight title against Daniel Dubois this July.

Just as Usyk will defend his title at Wembley, the Heavyweight Club will continue its championship journey beyond iGB L!VE. The next epic edition awaits at SBC Summit in September, where the movement will expand with new challenges and opportunities for operators ready to dominate their markets.
