Push Gaming doubles the Halloween thrills with Tarot Treasures and Tricky Treats

Reading Time: 2 minutes
B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming is set to deliver twice the thrills this Halloween with the release of two new seasonal titles, Tarot Treasures and Tricky Treats.
Both games highlight the recent launch of Push Gaming’s new product segmentation. Push Action delivers titles with enhanced layers of mechanics and player interaction, a category which Tarot Treasures proudly joins.
Meanwhile, Push Originals showcase the studio’s signature creative approach and innovative spirit, with Tricky Treats leading the way in this fresh line-up.
Tarot Treasures shuffles its diabolical deck in a spellbinding world where mysticism meets the proven success of the Push Ways mechanic.
Following the acclaim of Big Bite Push Ways, the feature receives a supernatural twist just in time for Halloween.
The introduction of cascade trails adds a fresh layer of gameplay, with enhanced dynamics during free spins. Players will also discover how hot zones and cascade trails combine to create electrifying experiences that offer both variety and excitement.
A week later, on October 22nd, Tricky Treats takes Halloween to the sweeter side, offering players a colourful cast of candy characters and a unique cluster wins mechanic.
Its innovative sticky wilds increase their multiplier with every win, while features such as Push Bet, which guarantees wilds, and the bonus buy option allow players to tailor their strategies to their own play style.
Added layers of thrill come from instant prize multiplier symbols and wild multiplier symbols, which boost all wilds and prizes on screen for explosive payout potential.
George Fil, Director of Product Strategy at Push Gaming, said: “With Halloween on the horizon, we wanted to give players two very different—but equally exhilarating—seasonal experiences. Tarot Treasures takes the Push Ways mechanic in a supernatural direction.
“Tricky Treats, on the other hand, leans into the fun of the season with brilliantly designed candy characters and cluster wins that keep the action flowing.
“Together, both releases show how we’re pushing variety and innovation across themes, mechanics and volatility to deliver Halloween content players will love.”
