Gaming Corps Debuts Innovative New A-MAZE-CADES™ Mechanic in the Wet and Wild Beavers slot game
Gaming Corps puts a fresh twist on a tried-and-tested mechanic with the launch of A-MAZE-CADES™ in the quirky new Wet and Wild Beavers slot.
Gaming Corps, a publicly listed game studio based in Sweden, is proud to announce the release of Wet and Wild Beavers. This charming new slot game also marks the debut of the exciting new A-MAZE-CADES™ mechanic.
This playful adventure takes players down to the river, where a team of ingenious beavers plot their daring escape by the riverbank. Follow Red Rocket, Old Blue and Yella Fella as they utilise a series of creative bonus features to escape the dam and get their hands on wins of up to 10,000x the player’s stake.
The game unfolds on a 5×5 grid with 50 paylines. Every time a player secures a win, the innovative A-MAZE-CADES™ mechanic springs into action. Winning symbols are eliminated, and the remaining symbols follow a unique pattern around the grid, collectively navigating their way to the exit position in the bottom left corner of the 5×5 grid. While this happens, new symbols will drop in from the right, filling the grid and potentially creating new wins. A Win Multiplier also progresses on every win. Any Log Symbols or non-Beaver symbols that pass the Exit stage will advance the Win Multiplier by one.
Each of the three Beavers makes their presence felt on the reels as a Wild symbol. Instead of being removed from the grid as part of a win, they move around the reels and head towards the Exit position.
When a Beaver exits the grid, their corresponding bonus feature is triggered. The Red, Blue, and Yellow symbols award the Dynamite Blast, X-Treme Cut, and Combo Clear features, respectively.
Dynamite Blast adds three dynamite symbols to the reels. All symbols adjacent to these, except for Beaver symbols, are blown up, with the Dynamite becoming Wild. The X-Treme Cut bonus eliminates all symbols on an X-shaped pattern across the grid, with up to five Wilds then being added. Finally, the Combo Clear feature chooses three symbols on the grid. All instances of these symbols are removed, with up to five Wild symbols added.
If no win is formed in the game and there is a Beaver symbol on the first reel, the Second Chance feature is triggered. This will remove all symbols between the Beaver and the Exit position. There is also the chance to trigger the Dam Flood feature on any non-winning spin. This will flood the grid and add Wilds to the reels.
Finally, collecting all three Beaver symbols will trigger four Free Spins. Players can also retrigger the round by collecting all Beaver symbols during the spin.
Players who want to buy their way into the Free Spins round can use the Bonus Buy or Super Bonus Buy options. There is also the opportunity to triple your chance of triggering the round by using the Hot Bet feature for three times your stake.
Connor Blinman, Head of Games at Gaming Corps, said: “At Gaming Corps, we are committed to innovation and finding new and exciting ways to entertain players. With Wet and Wild Beavers, we are excited to give players a first glimpse of the brand-new A-MAZE-CADES™ mechanic. This inventive addition offers a unique twist on the cascade-style mechanics that have gained popularity in the slot world in recent years.
Of course, the game is much more than just this mechanic. Our design team are extremely proud of the game’s whacky design and characters, while the captivating gameplay offers the chance for exhilarating bonuses and big wins on every spin.”

Commercial Gaming Revenue Growth Continues in Q3 2024, Driving Industry’s 15th Consecutive Quarter of Growth
U.S. commercial gaming revenue reached $17.71 billion in Q3 2024, the industry’s highest-grossing Q3 on record, according to the American Gaming Association’s (AGA) Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker. This makes Q3 2024 the industry’s 15th consecutive quarter of annual revenue growth, with September marking the 43rd straight month of rising year-over-year commercial gaming revenue.
Through the first nine months of the year, nationwide commercial gaming revenue stands at $53.24 billion, pacing 8.0 percent ahead of 2023 and putting the industry on track for a fourth straight record revenue year.
In Q3 2024, 29 of the 35 commercial gaming jurisdictions operational last year saw increased year-over-year revenue. This growth resulted in an 8.9 percent year-over-year increase in state and local taxes tied directly to gaming revenue, with commercial gaming operators contributing $3.79 billion in taxes across the quarter.
Quarterly revenue from land-based gaming – encompassing casino slots, table games and retail sports betting – totaled $12.56 billion, 0.62 percent lower than Q3 2023. Meanwhile, combined revenue from online sports betting and iGaming totaled $5.14 billion in Q3 2024 as online gaming made up 29.0 percent of commercial gaming revenue, a significantly higher share than in Q3 2023.
Looking at each sector in Q3 2024:
- Traditional Gaming: Traditional brick-and-mortar casino gaming generated quarterly revenue of $12.38 billion, a contraction of 0.9 percent year-over-year.
- Legal Sports Betting: Americans legally wagered $30.3 billion on sports, generating $3.24 billion in quarterly revenue (+42.4% YoY). Recent market launches in Kentucky, Maine, North Carolina and Vermont contributed to this growth.
- iGaming: iGaming generated $2.08 billion in revenue, marking a 30.3 percent year-over-year increase.
“Q3 2024 continued gaming’s momentum from the first half of the year, with online casino and sports betting driving strong growth. At the same time, new brick-and-mortar casino openings bolstered traditional gaming, which still accounts for the bulk of industry revenue,” said AGA Vice President of Research David Forman. “More than a quarter of commercial revenue now regularly comes from online sources, raising the importance of continued sustainable growth with consumers in those states.”
