Evoplay unleashes a fast-paced venture in Bonanza Wheel
26th July 2021: Game development studio Evoplay has announced the launch of its latest game release, Bonanza Wheel.
In what is a true gold mine for lovers of traditional casino titles, the provider has tasked players with stopping a spinning Bonanza Wheel over sectors filled with multipliers and rewards.
Lucky players will be able to enter the game’s bonus round, but first they will need to find a valuable hidden scratch card in one of the sectors to be taken there.
The Bonus game is packed with engaging features and huge win potential and awards any player that collects three or more Jackpot symbols with a 300x multiplier.
Players will also be able to check the full list of symbol multipliers in the Pay-outs tab, or on the scratch card itself if they are able to locate it.
The latest launch in a series of hugely popular titles, Evoplay’s award-winning product offering has continued to strengthen throughout the early months of 2021, having been reinforced by a range of high-quality casino classics over the period.
Commenting on the launch, Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said:
“Demonstrating our unique approach to game design, our latest title Bonanza Wheel serves as a nod towards the ‘spin the wheel’ gameshows of old, but with some new features of course.
“We are always looking to push the boundaries by creating different gaming experiences for our fans, so we hope they enjoy this hugely exciting new title, no doubt it will prove to be a fun experience for players throughout summer and beyond!”
The new title also utilises Evoplay’s cutting-edge game engine, Spinential, which delivers load-times that are 10x faster, as well as an enhanced user interface, autospin feature and game history mobile bar that allows players to re-view each of their winning spins.

Esports Charts Becomes Official Viewership Analytics Partner of StarLadder Budapest Major 2025
Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, has partnered with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organiser. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it is their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.
As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organisers, teams, sponsors and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.
Artyom Odintsov, Co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.
“It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest.
“Esports Charts has always been driven by a mission to provide the esports community with accurate, actionable data, and we look forward to showcasing the impact and audience engagement of this world-class event.”

Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder, said: “We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity. In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.
