Playson, the renowned digital entertainment supplier, guides players on an enchanted adventure in 3 Luxor Pots: Hold and Win, with the stylish new release offering bountiful opportunities to win via golden Bonus symbols, Scarab coins and the iconic Hold and Win bonus game.

Set against the backdrop of an Egyptian temple, players are transported into the enchanting city of Luxor where intricately designed golden scarabs, a legendary queen pharaoh and historic symbols adorn the grid, complemented by rich animations, engaging mathematics and lightning effects adding a layer of excitement to every spin.

Coveted Pots, golden Bonus symbols and colorful Scarab coins lie at the heart of the action, holding the key to the title’s Bonus Game and possessing the power to activate varied Pot features.

Each Pot above the reels collects the Scarab Coins of the corresponding color, while the combination of activated Pots determines the features awarded.

Green Scarab coins appearing during the Bonus Game expand the reels by one additional row each time they land, awarding randomly generated values up to x7 the original bet. The Multiply Feature is triggered by red Scarab coins and spreads three random multipliers ranging from x2 to x7 onto random symbols across the reels. After all Bonus symbols have been multiplied, the coin then adds a randomized value up to x7.

The Collect Feature unfolds when blue Scarab coins appear, gathering all symbol values on the reels and adding them to its value.

Landing Magic Scarabs during the Bonus feature will see them transform into green, red or blue Scarabs, elevating the enchanting gameplay. This activates an additional Pot feature or enhances the active one with an extra coin.

Heightening the excitement, the Bonus game also features four-in game Jackpots with violet, blue, green or red tokens reflecting mini, minor, major and the eye-watering grand Jackpot. Fortunate players who fill the entire game field will be rewarded with an additional Multiplier based on the number of rows, with up to five generating a sizable x3.

Tamas Kusztos, CCO at Playson, said: “We are starting the new year as we mean to go on, ensuring our portfolio continues to elevate the industry’s offering with feature-first titles and sought-after mechanics.

“With its dazzling Egyptian theme, dynamic features and lavish bonus game, 3 Luxor Pots: Hold and Win epitomizes our renewed brand commitment to delivering more to partners and their players.”

When 5 Votes Make All the Difference: A Special Moment at the GamingTECH CEE Awards

At this year’s GamingTECH CEE Awards, we witnessed something rare—and pretty remarkable—in the “Best iGaming CEO in CEE” category.

With 214 total votes cast across 9 nominees, two names clearly rose to the top, standing apart from a highly competitive field:

  • Vlastimil Venclik, CEO at Oddin.gg
  • Dario Jurčić, CEO at NSoft

But here’s where it gets interesting: the difference between them? Just 5 votes.

That’s right—after weeks of online voting and a live secret ballot from summit participants, the final count came down to a 5-vote margin. In a category filled with respected leaders, innovators, and visionaries, two CEOs clearly resonated with the industry in a big way.

And while only one person can technically take home the winner’s trophy, this razor-thin result was too significant to ignore. So, for the first time in the history of the GamingTECH CEE Awards, we decided to introduce something new:

  • An Honorary Runner-Up Trophy for “Best iGaming CEO in CEE” awarded to Dario Jurčić, CEO of NSoft.

Why This Matters

The intent behind this decision is simple: When excellence is nearly indistinguishable, it deserves to be recognized.

Dario Jurčić has played a vital role in expanding NSoft’s influence, strengthening its presence in new markets, and leading with a people-first approach in a rapidly evolving sector. His visibility, leadership, and impact were clearly acknowledged by the voting community—and with just a handful of votes separating him from the top spot, it felt only right to shine a spotlight on that achievement.

A Testament to a Vibrant Industry

The closeness of this race also speaks volumes about the caliber of leadership we’re seeing in the Central and Eastern European iGaming space. With companies like Oddin.gg and NSoft pushing boundaries in their respective verticals, the region continues to establish itself as a dynamic force in the global gaming landscape.

We congratulate Vlastimil Venclik on his well-earned win, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation and applause to Dario Jurčić for standing out in such a competitive field.

Sometimes, even second place can tell a powerful story—and this year, it certainly did.
