Belatra expands Mummyverse with Fortune Mummy release

Published

Belatra, a leading developer of innovative online slots, has expanded its Mummyverse with the release of Fortune Mummy. This is the fourth game in the series, following the flagship Mummyland Treasures, Santa Mummy, and Mummy Mines. In addition, in collaboration with a well-known casino, Belatra created BitStarz Mummy, combining the best of the series with the unique style and features of the casino itself.

Fortune Mummy continues the journey through a world of golden treasures, desert sands, and the magic of Ancient Egypt, where every symbol is an artifact and every spin is a step closer to legendary riches. The game shines with stylish visual effects, crisp graphics, and a mystical soundtrack to bring all the elements together. The Wild symbol is represented with the Scarab, which substitutes for all other symbols to boost the number of winning combinations.

Fortune Mummy instantly stands out thanks to its “three-in-one” format where three unique three-reel slots co-exist, Hold & Win, Coins Hunt and Mirror Reels. Players will be switched between the three randomly to unlock new mechanics and bonus features at every stage.

Hold & Win is set within a classic three-reel, five-payline slot, enhanced with a bonus twist. If all paylines in the base game reveal identical symbols or Wilds, winnings are multiplied by 10. The feature triggers randomly, and before it begins a special symbol is selected to join the Wild on the reels. The round continues until no new symbols land or the reels are completely filled. If all collected symbols are identical or Wild, the total win is multiplied by 10 once again.

Coins Hunt is the second hidden feature. This is a three-reel slot (3–4–3 layout) with 10 paylines and a rewarding coin collection mechanic. In the base game the coins (values range from 0.5 to 500) do not contribute to the line win, but landing five or more returns a payout equal to the total coin values multiplied by the bet. The Coin Hunt bonus activates at random, awarding eight free spins where only coins appear.

The third and final feature is Mirror Reels, set within a 4–3–4 layout with 10 paylines. In the base game, if all symbols or Wilds on active paylines match, winnings are boosted by a 10x multiplier. When the Mirror Reels bonus triggers, the first and third reels lock with identical symbols while the second (middle) reel continues spinning until a winning combination lands. If all symbols or Wilds match across the reels, the total win is multiplied by 10.

Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, commented: “Fortune Mummy is a modern slot with rich features and numerous bonuses that will appeal to both fans of the mummy theme and lovers of diverse game mechanics. The Wild symbol and multiple game modes make the gameplay engaging and provide players with great chances for big wins.”

Stakelogic dives deep with Jaws of Fortune

Stakelogic is inviting players to plunge into shark-infested waters with its latest release, Jaws of Fortune, a high-volatility slot where razor-sharp features lurk beneath the surface.

Played across 5 reels and 4 rows, Jaws of Fortune offers 1,024 ways to win in the base game, with maximum multipliers reaching up to 5,000x the stake. At its heart is a thrilling clash between prowling Sharks and a mischievous Jetski Dog, a dynamic duo that drives the game’s most lucrative features.

When multiple Shark symbols land, they lock in place and trigger a respin. But it’s the Shark Attack feature where the real action unfolds. In this mode, Sharks roam across the reels towards the Jetski Dog, turning the symbols they pass into Wilds. If a Shark crosses an existing Wild, its multiplier doubles, ramping up the potential for huge wins before it finally chomps down on the Jetski Dog.

The stakes rise further in the Hold ‘N’ Win bonus round. Here, only Coins, Sharks, and Jetski Dogs appear on the reels. Sharks no longer just roam, they chase down multipliers, consuming every value in their path before transforming into a Coin worth the total collected amount. Meanwhile, the Jetski Dog adds another twist with the Splash Boost, increasing random Coin values by up to 10x. With the chance to fill every space on the grid, this bonus round creates a true feeding frenzy.

For those who want to test the waters immediately, Jaws of Fortune includes both a Buy Bonus option and Stakelogic’s signature Super Stake™, doubling the odds of triggering Free Spins.

 

James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “With Jaws of Fortune, we wanted to reimagine how roaming Wilds and Hold ‘N’ Win features could work together. The Sharks don’t just act as symbols, they behave like characters, chasing, collecting, multiplying. At the same time, the naughty Jetski Dog stirs up chaos on the reels, taunting the Sharks and adding a playful twist to the action. That extra layer of interaction adds depth to the gameplay while keeping it simple and exciting for players.”
