Here are this weeks latest slots releases!

The much awaited ‘Lucky Scarabs’ by Booming Games is about to be made available in all the best casinos. Shane Cotter, Booming Games’ Director of Product says, “This game promises to be a wild ride; as scarab beetle after scarab beetle pour onto the reels creating wild wins everywhere you look. And it gets even wilder in Free Spins, with the addition of Sticky Scarab Wilds making for some huge wins.”

 

Gamzix has released their new product – Book of Symbols slot – the demo version of which is already available on their website. The main plot of the Book of Symbols slot is a search for treasures in the pyramids of Ancient Egypt. The game is filled with sacred symbols, hieroglyphs and scarabs, following which the player goes the way to the divine light. Overcoming all trials, you gain eternal youth of the soul, living beyond space and time. The high quality 3D design makes it possible to appreciate all the advantages of the slot even better, and the music brings it closer to the theme of the game.

 

Yggdrasil, has released its latest YG Masters title, 2 Gods Zeus vs Thor, in partnership with 4ThePlayer after a successful limited exclusive launch with GVC. The five-reel slot features world first feature DUAL SPIN, with Red or Blue spins corresponding with the different Gods on the reels. If the winning spin matches the reel, it is doubled. When the Win Spins bonus is triggered after three scatter symbols land, every spin is a win with an ever-increasing multiplier, which grows as players correctly guess who wins, Zeus or Thor. Win Spins are also packed with retriggers, creating an immersive gaming experience like no other.

 

 

iSoftBet, the leading online and mobile casino content provider, has released the thrilling Western Gold Megaways taking the crown as its most successful exclusive partner launch ever. This new Megaways title, set in a frontier town of the Wild West, features classic cascading wins as well as a random “Max Megaways” modifier which can trigger at any time, guaranteeing the maximum number of 117,649 ways and a shot at multiple cascading wins.

 

Wrapped in brilliant graphics and splendid animation, this slot has a great potential to become the highlight for all curiosities. We call it the Chance Machine saga by Endorphina. This classic 5-reel, 3-row, 20 fixed-line online slot provides players with shimmering reels and symbols. It is a perfect fusion of quality design, a classic theme and solid mathematics. The best gemstone cutters worked on the symbols of this dazzling slot. The beautiful Crown acts like a wild symbol that appears on 2,3 and 4 reels and substitutes for all symbols and expands vertically to complete the combination to amaze players with wins. Gold and brilliant stars are the scatter symbols that count on any position on the reel.

 

Play’n GO have unleashed their latest offerings into the markets today and, in an unprecedented move have released not one, not two but THREE brand new titles, in what they are calling The Wealth Series. The Wealth Series consists of Celebration of Wealth, Temple of Wealth and Beast of Wealth; three titles that come together to create a complete overall gaming experience. Each game is based around different cultural aspects of prosperity featuring various signs and symbols of wealth. While each game contains its own free spins feature, giving players the choice and control of how they wish to play the feature.

 

NetEnt is offering players a feature-packed sail across the reels in Rage of the Seas, the new addition to its award-winning portfolio. The 5×4 video slot, which has expanding reels that can create up to 5488 betways, is rich with features, including Spreading Wilds and Stacked Wilds, as well as Major and Minor Reel Upgrades to boost winning potential. The base game also offers a double Multiplier, Free Spins and Extra Free Spins, creating an action-packed gaming experience that maintains engagement levels throughout the session. One unique feature with Rage of the Seas is that it offers two ways to get into Free Spins, either via collecting Scatters or by opening up all areas. The Free spin feature also offers the same double multiplier as the base game does.

 

Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has released its combat-filled futuristic escapade, Star Bounty. The supplier’s latest 4×6, 4,096 payline title sees players exploring space as they search for big bounties amongst the stars with high-tech weaponry. With Tumbling wins ensuring every winning spin is prolonged, and a missile feature which fires into random symbols on reels two, three and four, turning them into Wilds, Star Bounty is another action-packed addition to the Pragmatic Play portfolio.

 

Playson transports players back in time on a mystical African adventure with the launch of its new game, Rise of Egypt Deluxe. Set in the legendary land of pyramids and Gods, this 3×5 videoslot with 20 paylines sees Playson update its classic, Rise of Egypt, with additional thrilling features. This new title has been developed with excitement at its core and is the first to give Playson fans the option to purchase game features, in this case, Free Spins. The Wild symbol is pristinely drawn as an Egyptian Bastet and substitutes all symbols except the Scatter. When the Cat Goddess lands, it expands on the whole reel if it can compose a winning combination and appears on reels 2, 3 and 4.

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.
