Thunderkick returns for an even fierier fiesta in Carnival Queen 2
Expanding reels reveal up to 117,649 ways to win in revamped sequel
Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched Carnival Queen 2, a sequel to its vibrant Mardi Gras-inspired street party, where a new reel structure combines with an infinite multiplier to unveil 25,000x win potential.
Building on the original with a new grid layout, the height of each reel can change at random from two to seven symbols, providing from 5,040 up to a maximum of 117,649 ways to win.
The Avalanche mechanic retains its prominence in the new iteration, replacing winning symbols and levelling up the multiplier by 1x, which can increase indefinitely should combinations keep landing.
The Exploding Wild also makes a return, however this time, firing up both base and bonus game potential. It removes all symbols vertically and one at random from every other reel, as well as increasing the height of its own reel, enhancing the number of paylines.
Landing three scatters activates the bonus round with 12 free spins, during which the height of each reel and multiplier do not reset between spins, bolstering win potential.
Carnival Queen 2 reflects Thunderkick’s expertise in crafting successful game franchises that leverage popular themes and mechanics to generate long-term player value and customer loyalty for operators.
Johannes Polbring, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “More than six years have passed since we launched the original Carnival Queen, which remains a strong performer in Thunderkick’s portfolio. We felt the time was right to refresh a fan-favourite.
“This sequel introduces more base game action, a brand-new expanding reels grid structure, and even bigger win potential, while preserving the electric fiesta atmosphere that made the first release such a success.”

EGT Digital and EGT will make a strong start to September with their participation in SiGMA Euro-Med 2025. The two companies will welcome their guests at stand 5007, where they will demonstrate the latest high-potential developments together with the bestsellers from their portfolios.

EGT Digital’s rich gaming diversity will be presented by its over 150 in-house developed casino titles on various themes, as well as the top-performing jackpots Bell Link, Clover Chance, High Cash, Single Progressive, and the latest Gods & Kings Link.

EGT Digital will show its iGaming platform X-Nave as well. Standing out with great versatility, the platform includes 4 main modules: Sport Product, Gaming Aggregator, CRM Engine, and Payment Gateway. Each of them can function as part of the turnkey solution or independently of the others by integrating with products of third-party providers.
The Sport Product will show a host of new features and upgrades aiming to further enhance the betting experience. Among them will be the Early Payout option for live events, allowing players to secure a win as soon as their team takes a 2-goal lead. The new Sports Recommendation Engine providing real-time personalized suggestions according to individual betting history and behavior, as well as a predefined multiple bets container in the Sports lobby, displaying both original and boosted odds, will also complement the innovations in this module. The enhanced Quick Deposit functionality will enable players to top up their accounts instantly while staying within their financial limits.
X-Nave’s Gaming Aggregator will showcase its ever-growing library of games, currently including more than 24,000 titles from over 150 providers. The visitors will become familiar with the Client Hub, which gives easy access to game resources and features, jackpots, documentation, and certificates. In addition, now operators will be able to manage bonuses through the Gaming Aggregator, thanks to the module’s built-in bonus support.
The Payment Gateway will also introduce several important new additions designed to provide greater flexibility and player convenience. Among them is the Stacking Deposits feature, allowing multiple consecutive deposits to be combined toward activating a bonus. The PIX method is now available to offer players to make deposits straight from the game window. The users will also have at their disposal new deposit and withdrawal options. Functionalities for fully automated deposits and withdrawals via bank transfer will be available as well.
EGT: New cabinets and popular multigames for the casino floor
EGT’s slot products will also be on display. The gaming equipment manufacturer will showcase its latest series of slot cabinets Supreme, which will be presented by the S 32-32 St and S 55 V St models. Featuring dual 32” UHD 4K monitors and a frameless touchscreen, S 32-32 St will offer players stunning visuals and numerous options for seamless interaction. The S 55 V St redefines vertical gaming with its captivating 55” UHD 4K display, providing crystal clear vision and smooth gameplay. Its eye-catching design, interactive features, and user-friendly ergonomics will bring cutting-edge excitement to any casino floor and will certainly be among the products that will generate the most interest among visitors to the stand.
The two cabinets will be supplied with the popular General Series multigames Bonus Prize General and Blue General, as well as the mixes from Supreme Series Supreme Green Selection and Mega Supreme Fruits Selection.
“We are very pleased to return to SiGMA Euro-Med, one of the key events on our calendar,” said Tsvetomira Drumeva, Head of Sales at EGT Digital. “East Europe remains a top priority market for us, and last year’s edition brought us valuable contacts that have since grown into strong partnerships.

Altenar partners with ‘gold standard’ data provider Opta for soccer player props and live match tracker

Sportsbook provider benefits from richer soccer data across more than 11,000 matches each year
Altenar has enhanced its soccer player props offering through a deep integration with Stats Perform’s Opta, the gold standard for fast, trusted player stats.
Stats Perform is a global leader in sports data and AI, and the use of Opta means Altenar’s soccer player props service uses the same consistent definitions adopted globally by professional leagues, tournaments, teams, media and broadcasters, and the trusted brands seen everywhere by fans.
Opta’s rich, expertly-collected historical and live data enable Altenar’s team to model and trade engaging props for over 11,000 matches each year, transforming every shot, foul and tackle into an opportunity for bettors. Opta’s live player stats feed helps to power both pre-match and in-play player, and team prop markets, elevating Altenar’s sportsbook to new heights with tier-one soccer betting experiences that only a handful of sportsbooks worldwide can match.
The partnership with Stats Perform also includes the Content Player Pro, an intuitive front-end match tracker to inform users and further enhance their experience. Another benefit for sportsbook operators is the improved uptime of betting markets, which ensures better cashout availability and in-play settlement of pre-match bets.
Antonis Karakousis, Director of Operations of Altenar, said: “We are excited to have further enhanced our soccer betting markets with an increased selection of player props, which are proving very popular in many markets around the world.
“With Opta as our partner, we confidently price and settle captivating player prop markets, giving our customers the best-in-class experience that sets us apart in the industry.”
Steve Xeller, Stats Perform’s Chief Revenue Officer, said: “Altenar is a leading sportsbook provider with a reputation for innovation and quality. This reputation relies upon using the most trusted data, and for soccer player stats, that means Opta.
“We’re confident Altenar’s sportsbook operator customers will love the exciting and popular betting content that comes from the partnership – and given the breadth of Opta’s coverage, this applies regardless of the market in which they operate.”
