Turn Up the Heat with Tom Horn Gaming’s New Slot, Hot Blizzard Deluxe
Tom Horn Gaming, the award-winning iGaming supplier, is turning up the temperature this winter with the release of Hot Blizzard Deluxe.
Scheduled to go live on 5 December, this fery slot promises to deliver an electrifying gaming experience with explosive features, blazing visuals, and high-intensity gameplay that players love.
Expanding Wilds and Super Free Spins with Wild Reel
At the core of the Hot Blizzard Deluxe’s gameplay is the Expanding Wilds feature, where Wild symbols not only fll entire reels but also come with blazing multiplier values of x1, x2, x5, or x10. Whenever a Wild lands as part of a winning combination, it transforms the symbols above and below into Wilds, forming an Expanding Wild and creating opportunities for massive wins. What’s more, if multiple Wilds appear on the screen, their multiplier values are added together before being applied to the win, offering truly explosive payout potential.
The game’s Free Spins feature takes the thrill even higher. By landing three Star symbols, players trigger 10 Free Spins, where the middle reel transforms into a fully Wild reel with multiplier values that change on every spin. For those seeking even more fery rewards, the Super Free Spins feature is activated by landing four Star symbols. Here, the middle reel consists entirely of x10 Wilds, setting the stage for some truly monumental wins.
Adding a unique twist to the gameplay is Tom Horn Gaming’s QuickX™ feature, which offers players instant access to the game’s most exciting features. Players can select from four distinct options: triple the chance to trigger Free Spins for a x1.5 bet multiplier, spin with a random Expanding Wild for a x25 bet multiplier, enjoy Free Spins with the Wild Reel for a x50 bet multiplier, or dive straight into the Super Free Spins with a x10 Wild Reel for a x200 bet multiplier. This feature ensures that players can customise their gaming experience and jump straight into the action whenever they choose.
A Game That Keeps the Flames Burning
Set against a fery backdrop, Hot Blizzard Deluxe combines cutting-edge mechanics with visually striking design and a soundtrack that amplifes the heat. The game’s dynamic features ensure that every spin has the potential to deliver thrilling moments and substantial wins, making it an instant favourite among players of all levels.
“With Hot Blizzard Deluxe, we’ve taken our commitment to player engagement and entertainment to the next level. The combination of features like Expanding Wilds, Free Spins, and the QuickX™ mechanic provides an experience that’s not only visually stunning but also incredibly rewarding. This is a game that will appeal to a wide range of players, and we’re excited to see it light up the reels for our partners and their players,” said Katarina Slaninova, Head of Marketing at Tom Horn Gaming.
The game will be available across the supplier’s extensive network of partners from 5 December 2024. Get ready to turn up the heat and let fortune blaze bright with Hot Blizzard Deluxe!

Surrey Resident Wins Record-Breaking $80-Million Lotto Max Jackpot

Justin Simporios is normally a sound sleeper who “can fall asleep anywhere” – but he had a very sleepless night, after learning he won an $80-million Lotto Max jackpot from the May 9, 2025 draw. This is the largest lottery jackpot ever won in B.C. and is also the largest jackpot ever won by a single individual in Canada.
“It was 10:30 p.m.,” recalled Simporios of the moment he realized he won. “I saw that someone won $80 million in Surrey. I was joking and told my wife ‘we’re millionaires!’ and she told me to stop making that joke. After, I manually checked each number before scanning [using the BCLC Lotto! I cried and shouted, ‘we’re millionaires!’”
The Surrey resident woke up his wife to share the news. “She was in complete disbelief and a bit mad at me because our daughter wasn’t feeling well.” Simporios’ wife luckily agreed this was a good reason to wake her.
While still in disbelief about his win, Simporios is ultimately most excited to share his windfall with his family. “I want to help my family and my wife’s family. I’ll pay off my sister’s medical school debt and help my mom retire early – just giving my family a head start in life.”
Giving back to the community in Surrey and B.C. is also a key priority for Simporios. “I’ve struggled before and needed help. Even if I can give an ounce of happiness, I want to help where we can. This feels like a dream.”
As an avid LA Lakers fan, Simporios mentioned he would like to see LeBron James play before James retires. He also plans to visit his family in the Philippines for a family reunion. “My wife and kid have never visited!”
On how it feels to win a record-breaking jackpot?
“The biggest change will be having more time with my wife and family. We want to live with a purpose – to help the community around us.”
Simporios purchased the winning ticket at the Walmart Supercentre in Central City on King George Boulevard in Surrey.
So far in 2025, B.C. lottery players have redeemed more than $101 million from Lotto Max. Lotto Max is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Tuesdays and Fridays after 7:30 p.m. (PST).
Players can purchase tickets at lottery retailers or at PlayNow.com. Winning numbers and group release forms can be found online at www.bclc.com. Players can check their lottery tickets anytime, anywhere on iOS and Android devices. Learn more about the BCLC Lotto!
