Live 5’s Gem of a Joker InstaPots™ launches exclusively with William Hill
Studio’s latest blockbuster slot features new jackpot bonus that awards Multipliers of between x5 and x2,5000 the player’s stake
Live 5 is taking players deep into a Jester’s dream in the latest slot to leave its production line, Gem of a Joker InstaPots™, which will launch exclusively with William Hill before going on global release in September.
As the name suggests, Gem of a Joker has been hooked up to Live 5’s InstaPots™ feature which offers the chance for players to trigger one of five Multiplier jackpots – Mini, Minor, Major, Mega and Ultra on every spin.
These jackpots are no laughing matter; a jackpot is unlocked when between three and five InstaPots™ Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels to award stake Multipliers of x5, x25, x50, x250 and x2,500 respectively.
InstaPots™ are not progressive so do not require a stake contribution to increment nor do they require a re-seed value once triggered. Instead, they simply pay a fixed amount each time they are hit.
The Joker action does not stop there. The Jester acts as the Mystery symbol and when they land, they animate and transform into one of the five top paying symbols including Wilds.
Gem of a Joker InstaPots™ sits at the higher end of the volatility scale and has a return to player of 94.00%. The max win potential is 2,500x the player’s stake.
As with all Live 5 slots, it is available in 30+ languages and has been certified for launch in key markets including the UK, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Denmark and all Malta Jurisdictions.
Lloyd Butler, CEO of Live 5, said: “Gem of a Joker is the first game to include our InstaPots™ feature, which delivers unrivaled excitement and big win potential with each spin. That it is not progressive, nor requires a stake contribution or re-seeding, adds tremendous anticipation to the game.
“When combined with Mystery symbols, and the game’s high volatility, the gameplay is fast-paced and fun. We are thrilled to be launching Gem of a Joker exclusively with William Hill and for it then to go on global release next month.
“The team really is on a roll at the moment and Gem of a Joker InstaPots™ will further establish Live 5 as a leading provider of player-favourite online casino content.”
AGCO
Playnetic granted Ontario supplier license

Global B2B iGaming content provider secures first Canadian market entry following the successful submission and approval of its gaming-related supplier application
Playnetic, the in-demand global B2B iGaming content provider known for its quality games, reliable delivery and outstanding customer service, has announced the approval of its gaming-related supplier application by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).
With the AGCO licensing process being recognised in the industry for its rigorous standards and thorough due diligence, the new certification confirms Playnetic was able to meet the high levels of integrity and regulatory compliance needed to legally distribute its content within the province.
As a result of the approval, Playnetic has now secured its first Canadian market entry and will be able to provide its library of innovative games to licensed operators in the Ontario region – with this starting point paving the way for further expansion into other regulated provinces in future.
Given signs of change emerging within the Canadian market and Alberta making progress toward a regulated online model – likely drawing from Ontario’s framework – this license positions Playnetic strongly to expand its footprint in the country and further solidifies the company’s ambitious growth plans.
In the meantime, Playnetic has already begun making groundwork with key operators in the Ontario region and is looking forward to going live with some exciting brands over the coming months. The company will also be attending SBC’s Canadian Gaming Summit from June 17-19, where both existing and new potential partners alike are welcome to stop by and meet the team.
Dan Phillips, Chief Executive Officer at Playnetic, said: “Acquiring AGCO approval for our gaming-related supplier application is undoubtedly a big step for Playnetic. The new license not only secures our first Canadian market entry, but also reaffirms Playnetic’s position as a trusted provider in iGaming and underlines our commitment to compliance and operational excellence.”
Julian Borg-Barthet, Chief Commercial Officer at Playnetic, said: “We’re very excited to now be in a position to offer our library of innovative gaming content in Ontario, and the groundwork to do that with some of the region’s biggest licensed operators is already underway. Over time, we’re confident this license will also help us expand further into current markets and emerging regulated provinces, such as Alberta.”
