Club Race
Trophy Hunter deepens its social gameplay with a new Club vs Club competitive mode
Trophy Hunter is taking another major step in building a deeply social and competitive experience for its players. The latest update introduces Club Race – a Club vs Club mode, delivering real-time competition, strategic decision-making, and intense cooperation between club members. The new feature strengthens the social foundations of the game and offers players a completely new way to compete together as a team.
Club Race is a highly competitive, real-time mode where four clubs race against each other on a shared track, represented by powerful jeeps on a shared race track. Each club controls one vehicle, and success depends entirely on the combined effort, skill, and strategy of its members. The event takes place twice a week, lasts three days, and is played across four globally selected locations, identical for all participating clubs to ensure fair competition.
– “Social engagement has always been the heart of Trophy Hunter. With Club Race, we are giving players a mode that truly rewards cooperation, communication, and smart strategy. Every hunt matters, every decision counts, and success is shared across the entire club. This mode perfectly reflects our long-term vision for the game and sets Trophy Hunter apart in the genre,” says Jakub Noganowicz, Product Owner of Trophy Hunter and Hunting Clash.
Club vs Club Mode – competition powered by teamwork and strategy
Club Race introduces a new kind of excitement to Trophy Hunter, where individual skill fuels collective success. Players hunt on their own, but every action immediately strengthens their club’s position in the race. Each hunt becomes a meaningful contribution, turning personal performance into visible progress shared by the entire team.
What makes the mode especially engaging is the constant sense of choice and impact. Before every hunt, players decide how their effort will help the club – pushing their team closer to victory or slowing down rivals. This layer of strategy transforms every session into a moment of tension and anticipation, where teamwork and timing matter as much as precision.
The race unfolds live and on screen, allowing players to follow the competition in real time. Club positions, progress, and momentum are always visible, keeping engagement high from the first hunt to the final stretch. The shared goal, combined with the presence of rival clubs throughout the event, creates a dynamic experience that encourages communication, coordination, and long-term commitment.
A social experience at the core of the roadmap
The Club Race update reinforces Trophy Hunter’s focus on social play and player-driven competition. Players always face three rival clubs and see all opponents on the track, regardless of their current advantage. Every hunt actively influences the outcome of the race. The mode allows clubs to define their own tactics – deciding when to push forward, when to slow down rivals, and how to maximize team performance.
The update also integrates seamlessly with existing social features ensuring a consistent and evolving experience aligned with the game’s roadmap. By combining real-time competition, visible team progress, and meaningful player choices, Club Race delivers a unique and engaging social gameplay loop.
New arenas – a growing world for competition and cooperation
Trophy Hunter has been systematically expanding its game world since its global premiere, regularly introducing new arenas that offer players fresh environments, hunting conditions, and tactical challenges. New locations have been added at least once a month, reinforcing the game’s consistent development and delivering new adventures and experiences for players. The most recent arena was introduced on December 5, bringing the total number of available arenas to 16.
Each arena provides a distinct setting that encourages players to experiment with different weapons, refine their skills, and adapt their strategies to varying conditions. This steady expansion not only keeps the gameplay fresh but also supports long-term player engagement by continuously opening new spaces for challenge and mastery.
With the introduction of Club Race, these arenas now gain an additional role. They become shared battlegrounds for club-based competition, where teams race, attack rivals, and define their strategies across globally selected locations. In this way, the growing portfolio of arenas strengthens both solo progression and the social, cooperative experience that lies at the core of Trophy Hunter’s roadmap.

Arctic Theme
Spinomenal releases wintery wonder: Majestic Polar Bear
Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has released its winter wonder just in time for Christmas with the launch of Majestic Polar Bear.
Spinomenal’s latest festive holiday treat transports players into a pristine Arctic wilderness, where towering glaciers, snow-dusted cliffs, and shimmering ice fields stretch beneath a vast polar sky. The 5×3 design is fixed within a frosted frame that is enhanced with a magical, calming soundtrack, blending soft chimes, airy melodies, and gentle ambient tones to celebrate the majesty of the polar environment.
The majestic Polar Bear symbols represent the Wild and counts as any symbol except double symbols, Free Spins and Bonus. Five Wilds on a winning line pays players a cool x200. Anyone landing three Free Spins symbols will launch the Free Spins game. Before embarking on the feature, players must take a turn on the Wheel of Fortune to determine the free spins total, between 10 and 40, and the symbol that doubles for the round.
A glowing group of polar crystals acts at the Bonus feature and three of these will trigger the bonus game. Players are initially given three spins, and the objective is to fill the metre by collecting Scattered winning symbols. Every five symbols found completes one cell in the metre. Players who discover a +1 symbol will be awarded with an extra spin and once the spins end there will be the final payout determined by the final filled metre cell.
Majestic Polar Bear also features Stacked Wilds where once the reels are spinning, Wild symbols have the power to appear on the reels to boost the potential of a win. During the base game, Only Double Symbols can be activated, making all symbols show in their double form.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “With breath-taking visuals, cool mechanics, and a tranquil landscape, Majestic Polar Bear delivers a magical escape just in time for Christmas where every spin feels both relaxing and rewarding.”
