Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has enhanced its Wildlife Slot Series with the release of Buffalo Rampage Hold & Hit.

This latest title from Spinomenal is set across a vast landscape that stretches along a rugged tapestry of towering mountains and sweeping plains. The medium symbols include an Eagle, Black Bear, Wolf, and Big Cat. A powerful Buffalo represents the Wild and three or more pay when followed by a free spin or a bonus symbol. The Wild substitutes for any symbol except free spins and bonus symbols.

Three Scatter Free Spins symbols trigger the Free Spins game. In the base game, these Scattered Free Spins symbols will only appear on reels 1, 3, and 5. Three Scattered symbols will earn three free spins that return 3x the total bet.

During this free spins round, symbols have the potential to become a colossus symbol (3×3), spreading across the centre of reels 2 to 4. Scattered symbols (bonus or free spins) will only appear as a colossus symbol and will launch its feature. A Free Spins colossus symbol will grant players another three free spins and pay x3 the total bet.

The Hold & Hit adds another layer of wild entertainment to the game. Six or more Scattered bonus symbols take players into the bonus game where the symbols that triggered the feature will stay in place for the bonus. Players kick things off with three spins and once the empty spots are completed with glittering diamonds, or when the spins are finished, the game ends.

Spots can be filled with each spin and at the same time grant players with prizes ranging from  x1 – x10 multiplier of the total bet. The Mini Jackpot – pays x25 total bet, Major Jackpot – pays x50 total bet and the Mega Jackpot – pays x250 total bet. Each time a spin has a positive result, the counter will reset the remaining spins to three. Any player who manages to complete all 15 spots will secure the Grand Jackpot and a prize of x5000 the total bet.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Buffalo Rampage continues to be a fan favourite amongst players and that reputation has been secured with the addition of Hold & Hit. The five different jackpots are the true big 5 that players will be hunting on the reels.”

Workers at Caesars Southern Indiana Casino Authorize Strike

More than 140 workers at Caesars Southern Indiana Hotel & Casino, represented by Teamsters Local 89 and Operating Engineers Local 399, have voted by a 98% margin to authorize a strike. The overwhelming vote is a direct response to management’s refusal to offer a fair contract.

“Our members are united and ready to fight for the strongest possible agreement. This vote sends a clear message — we will not back down. If management won’t negotiate in good faith, we’re prepared to take action,” said Avral Thompson, President of Local 89.

Caesars Southern Indiana, owned and operated by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI), pulled in more than $240 million in revenue last year, making it one of the most profitable casinos in the state. Workers are demanding a contract that reflects their essential contributions to that success.

“I’ve worked at Caesars for over seven years, and we deserve a contract that values our hard work and dedication. No one wants to strike, but if management keeps disrespecting us at the bargaining table, we’re ready to demand what we’ve earned,” said Sandra Ramirez, a slot attendant at Caesars Southern Indiana and a member of Local 89.

After months of negotiations, management at Caesars Southern Indiana continues to refuse to offer fair retirement benefits and remains far apart on other key economic issues.

“At this point, the ball is entirely in management’s court. If Caesars faces a strike, management will have no one to blame but themselves for the fallout. We stand ready to back our members every step of the way,” said Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman.
