Play’n GO has launched the next title in its phenomenal series of music-themed pokies, paying homage to the legendary American rock band, Dio.

Battle alongside the band’s iconic lead vocalist, Ronnie James Dio, as he wields the magic of music to face down ferocious dragons and other mythical menaces. Hoard as many scatters as you can to unlock the castle, an amazing array of bonus features and an intense battle between Dio and Murray, the game’s scaly antagonist.

The scatters will activate the free spins round which offers you numerous ways to win. Land Sticky Wilds and Special Symbols trigger a flurry of secondary features.

If the Fallen Angel feature activates, it generates a falling wild symbol. the Wild Multipliers feature enhances a Sticky Wild with a multiplier, the Symbol Upgrade feature transforms high-paying symbols into the highest-paying symbol, and the Lock up the Wolves feature delivers consecutive respins.

The game is draped in a frightening fantasy theme with gothic overtones. Enhancing the sensory experience is a selection of Dio’s top hits, including Holy Diver, Don’t Talk to Strangers, Evil Eyes, and We Rock.

Dio – Killing the Dragon joins an illustrious collection of rock-themed slots by Play’n GO, standing alongside the likes of Def Leppard: Hysteria, Alice Cooper and the Tome of Madness, KISS Reels of Rock, Twisted Sister, and ZZ Top Roadside Riches.

The Head of Games at Play’n GO, Charlotte Miliziano, commented,

“Our music series has quickly become one of our favourites and we absolutely loved putting together this tale of Dio. We’re always thinking about the players and the most fun part was seeing just how many features we could pack into the game for them. Our design team really outdid themselves with the visual details, putting players inside this authentic fantasy land alongside Dio and we’re thrilled they will be able to enjoy the legacy of Dio’s music on the jukebox!”

In a three-way collaboration, Yggdrasil and ReelPlay have teamed up to introduce Bad Dingo’s new Arctic Sorcerer Gigablox pokie, which features one of Yggdrasil’s most thrilling innovations.

This new title is a product of the YG Masters program and features an icy magic user on a quest to free his animal companions. Arctic Sorcerer was made possible by GATI, Yggdrasil’s advanced technology solution that enables its partners with a preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardized development toolkit to generate premium content and achieve rapid distribution.

Bad Dingo is a newcomer studio to the iGaming industry. The Sydney-based developer made a splash with its introductory pokie, Jaguar Super Ways, and its association with major studios like Yggdrasil and ReelPlay paints a bright future for the fledgling brand.

The game’s Arctic Blast bonus feature is randomly triggered during both the base and bonus games. The sorcerer adds Mystery GigaBlox symbols to the grid, which transform into animals, gem symbols, scatters, or wilds.

The GigaBlox creates exciting gameplay changes by generating oversized symbols from 2×2 to 5×5 in scale. When these symbols land, they divide into regular-sized symbols and deliver larger winning potential.

If you land five or more scatters, you will receive up to 15 free spins, where the wild symbol takes on a 2x multiplier enhancement, doubling any wins it is involved in.

Don’t forget the wild collection counter that shows up during the bonus round. Accumulate five wild symbols while the feature is active to claim an extra two free spins. You can accumulate a total of 20 wild symbols this way.

Stuart McCarthy, the Head of Product & Programs at Yggdrasil, said,

“Adding another GigaBlox™ title to our YG Masters portfolio is great and highlights the popularity of our proprietary mechanic. Arctic Sorcerer is a great creation by Bad Dingo and creates an exciting experience with great win potential.”

David Johnson, the CEO at ReelPlay, added,

“ReelPlay is delighted to enable Bad Dingo’s latest creation to market. Yggdrasil’s YG Masters program provides ReelPlay’s partner studios the opportunity to distribute cleverly crafted slots games to a wide network of operator partners.”

iGaming studio supplier Play’n GO recently unveiled its new ImmorTails of Egypt pokie with an Ancient Egyptian theme populated by fluffy and ferocious feline characters, illustrated in a high-impact cartoon style.

The company hyped up its new title in an official press release, saying,

“Bestowed with the powers of their ancestors – the Ancient Egyptian deities that they’re named after, Bastet, Mafdet and Sekhmet may be cute, but they are equally mischievous, and the slippery serpent Apep is on a mission to steal their treasures. We have a feeling the gods might have something to say about that.”

Feisty Features

The game’s tumbling wins mechanic removes winning symbol combinations from the reels and allows more symbols to appear in their place, potentially setting off a chain of consecutive wins. Achieving consecutive wins eventually transforms the higher value symbols into cat god wilds and iIf a snake symbol appears alongside one of these wilds, it will also be turned wild.

Bastet, Sekhmet, and Mafdet are perched above the grid, where meters help you track your progress to transforming kitten symbols into Expanding Wilds.

Unlock the Free Spins and the reels will expand from 5×3 to 5×4 in size, while a progressive multiplier boosts your winning potential by increasing by +1 with every third consecutive winning spin.

Play’n GO’s Games Ambassador, George Olekszy commented on the game, saying,

“This is a really fun game to play, the goals are clear from the start as players can see their progress with the kittens at the top of the reels and whether they’ve collected enough symbols to open the treasure chest. Play’n GO has an innate knack of knowing how to use themes that complement each other to create a game that may seem a little different to start, but the finished product just works.”

The brand-new YG masters-produced pokie from Peter & Sons delves into the rich magical roots of New Orleans and sets you on a path of intriguing magic and huge wins.

The Yggdrasil-powered release, titled Voodoo Hex draws on the aesthetics of New Orleans’ Mardi Gras festival, paired with the ominous magic that the region is famous for. The background graphic depicts the city’s iconic French Quarter, and the 3×3 reel, 5 payline reel set is contained within an ominous Voodoo shop.

Look out for stacked symbols that can trigger mystery stack respins, where respins keep going until no more mystery symbols appear. The feature comes bundled with a progressive multiplier that starts at 1x and increases by +1 with every consecutive win.

Coin symbols award instant prizes and scatter symbols trigger a lucrative bonus round. During free spins, mystery stacks appear more often, and the increasing multiplier does not reset for the duration of the feature.

Depending on your jurisdictions, you could also bypass the need to land scatters and directly activate the free spins mode with the bonus buy feature.

Voodoo Hex is a product of the YG Masters program that empowers developers with GATI, Yggdrasil’s proprietary tech solution that enables them to utilize a preconfigured, regulation-ready, development toolkit to push out high-quality content with rapid distribution.

Stuart McCarthy, the head of product and programmes at Yggdrasil, said,

“We’re delighted to partner yet again with Peter & Sons for another fantastic creation, Voodoo Hex. With a very different theme to its usual content, we’re excited to bring new concepts to our offering and wow players with the immersive location.”

Yann Bautista, the business development manager at Peter & Sons, added,

“Voodoo Hex is a spooky creation that brings a new side to our thrilling games portfolio, developed closely with Yggdrasil through the YG Masters programme. “With a simple matrix offering plenty of features and wins, we’re very happy with what we’ve created and look forward to entertaining players around the globe.”

Pragmatic Play has added to its impressive array of themed online pokies with the release of a new Ancient Egypt-inspired title, titled Book of Golden Sands.

The 6×3 reel game offers 729 ways to win and includes strikingly vibrant depictions of Ancient Egyptian gods, Cleopatra and slithering serpents, among other symbols.

The game’s wild symbols come with the added advantage of 2x or 3x multipliers that boost your wins in addition to substituting for all regular symbols.

If your luck lines up and you manage to land three or more book symbols in the base game, you will unlock the free spins bonus feature, where a special expanding symbol is randomly chosen to be your winning champion for the duration of the bonus round.

When three or more instances of the chosen special symbol appear, they will expand to cover the reels that they land on. In addition, one of these symbols will be placed above the reels and any expansions that land below them will connect to them, increasing your symbol count and your winnings.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also be able to take a shortcut to the bonus round in exchange for 100x your stake.

The release of Book of Golden Sands follows the recent introductions of other high-quality Pragmatic Play slots, like Striking Hot 5, Happy Hooves, and October Fortunes, further enriching the provider’s diverse and engaging catalogue of titles.

Irina Cornides, the Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said,

“We are excited about the launch of Book of Golden Sands, as we have augmented and adapted the traditional book-style game that many players are drawn to. We have included wild multipliers, an engaging feature which awards additional ways in the bonus game, and a universally adored Egyptian theme to create a title that we are confident players will enjoy.”

Yggdrasil and Reel Life Games have released a fresh and exciting pokie where fairground fun meets fabulous prizes. Midway Money is steeped in the aesthetics of travelling carnivals, with a parade of colourful and quirky performers appearing as symbols on the game’s 5-reel, 40 payline layout.

Test your might when two wild Strength Meter symbols appear fully in view on reels 4 and 5. The bell ringer will try to ring the bell at maximum strength to activate one of a selection of features.

Duck Shoot transforms symbols into targets, which then turn into wild symbols. Fire Eater selects a random symbol, and then changes all symbols of lower value into that symbol, while 2 wilds appear on random positions. Strong Man increases the grid to up to 8 rows high, greatly boosting your winning opportunities.

The bonus round activates when you land 3 bonus symbols. You will receive 7 free spins Minimum Win Free Spins

When 3 bonus symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5, players win 7 free spins, where the Minimum Win for all free spins is guaranteed at 1x your bet. If you land a win larger than the current guaranteed Minimum Win amount, the higher value becomes the new Minimum Win mount.

Midway Money is Reel Life Games’ most recent release made possible via the YG Masters programmed and powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s advanced solution toolkit that allows its partners to develop top-tier content, backed up by rapid distribution.

Stuart McCarthy, the Head of Product & Programs at Yggdrasil, said,
