Tom Horn Gaming is kicking off July with Panda Rica, a fast-paced 3×3 video slot that delivers simple yet captivating mechanics and vibrant visuals. From expanding wilds and multiplier wins to Star Gamble Ladder, the game is a standout addition to the supplier’s growing portfolio of slot titles.

Designed for quick sessions and high engagement, Panda Rica combines classic slot appeal with clever gameplay that elevates the player experience.

At the heart of the game is the Star Gamble Ladder, a dynamic post-win feature where players can take up to five gamble attempts to multiply their winnings. The Golden Star is a guaranteed win, turning even smaller wins into whooping risk-reward moments. The excitement of climbing the ladder to bigger wins is supported by a visually attractive rendition of the feature, which adds an extra level of immersion to this beautifully crafted game.

The base game features 7 fixed paylines, expanding to 27 ways to win during respins triggered by expanding wilds. Fully stacked reels unlock a x10 multiplier, while the optional respin booster increases the total bet by 1.5x and triples the chance of a respin.

“With Panda Rica, we set out to create a compact game with wide appeal. Simple to grasp, rich in features, and highly entertaining, ideal both for operators and players” said Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming.

The game is now available to all Tom Horn Gaming network partners.

“Hellish 7 Hold & Win”, (Höllische 7 Hold & Win in German) is now live, a spicy Classic Series slot from the Berlin-based developer Hölle Games.

This is a new summer edition in the Hellish Seven franchise, known for its high volatility, hellishly good payouts, and hard rock riffs. The new entry features Hold & Win, where, if players can fill the reels with (any) cash symbol, they will win the impressive 7777x main prize! Mini, Major and Mega jackpot payouts can be scooped up along the way too, awarding more instant cash wins, and ladder & card gamble mini-games also allow potential bonus winnings.

Players can directly buy entry into the feature if they want to skip the base game, or they can opt to use Feuer Stake which is a Stake Boost feature that increases the chances of hitting the Hold & Win for only a 1.5x stake multiplier spin cost.

The game is now available for MGA with other territories following soon. Hölle Games will release another flamin’ good slot later this month with Dragon’s Diamonds, a 5×6 scatter cascade featuring the titular dragon and huge multiplier win potential.
