Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has released its tropical-themed game Majestic Lemur as part of its Wildlife series.
The 5Ă3 reel frame is set against a picturesque beach backdrop, with clear blue waters, palm trees, wooden huts, and distant misty mountains. A light-hearted tropical soundtrack gives the game an exotic feel as players hunt for payouts.
Locating three baobab tree Scatter Free Spins symbols launches the Free Spins game. Before it begins, players need to take a spin on the Wheel of Fortune to set the free spins total, between 10 and 40, and the symbol that will double for the duration.
The bonus feature is activated when three succulent coconuts appear on screen. Players receive three spins to start, and the mission is to fill the metre by collecting Scattered winning symbols. Every five symbols found will complete one cell in the metre. Discovering +1 symbols adds an extra spin and once the spins end there will be the final payout calculated by the last filled metre cell.
Majestic Lemur also has Stacked Wilds where once the reels are spinning, Wild symbols can appear on the reels to enhance 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: âMajestic Lemur whisks players away for a beach-side adventure in search of big wins beneath the Tree of Life. Beautiful visuals, fun free games and an entertaining bonus game make this a top addition to our Wildlife series.â

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has let its creative juices flow with its brand new title, Doomsday Rampage. As doomsday descends to plunge the world into chaos, players must navigate their way through a ruined city in search of three missing power clamps that hold the key to humanityâs last hope.
Doomsday Rampage is a 5-reel, 1-row video slot featuring a three-level multiplier wheel with multipliers up to x100. A menacing soundtrack creates an immersive, desolate atmosphere on the reels as former scientist Anna dodges mutated creatures using an old map entrusted to her by a late doctor.
During any winning spin, three or more Power Clamp symbols activate the Green Multiplier Wheel above the reels. The activated Green Multiplier Wheel will spin and land on either x2, x3, x5, x10 or Level Up. Four or more Power Clamps will turn the Multiplier Wheel purple and this means it can land on either x10, x15, x20, x30 or Level Up. Players who find five or more Power Clamps will launch the Red Multiplier Wheel where the spinning wheel can land on either x30, x50, x80 or x100.
PG Softâs spokesperson commented: âOur studio team has taken a slightly different creative path with Doomsday Rampage and the result is a standout title in our portfolio. Its vivid visuals, powerful soundtrack, and three-tier Multiplier Wheel make this a game for the ages.â

The Casino Guru Awards 2025 have reached an exciting milestone: evaluation time. On April 22 and 23, our esteemed panel of judges will begin conducting online evaluation calls with all shortlisted candidates across various award categories. These 30-minute sessions offer a unique opportunity for nominees to present their work, explain the vision behind their nominations, and engage in open dialogue with our expert judges.
Interactive, insightful, impactful
The evaluation calls, now a signature part of the Casino Guru Awards process, go far beyond reviewing nomination forms. They bring the human element to the forefront, giving judges the chance to hear directly from the people behind the innovations, initiatives, and platforms.
This yearâs process again brings together two panels of judges, featuring both internal Casino Guru experts and external professionals from across the iGaming space. While the written nominations set the stage, itâs these calls that allow judges to ask questions, explore specific areas in more detail, and truly assess how well each nominee embodies the values of the Casino Guru Awards: fairness, transparency, innovation, and social responsibility.
âThis part of the process is where the nominations come alive,â says Daniela Sliva, PR & Creative Project Director at Casino Guru and the visionary behind the Awards. âWeâre looking for more than good intentionsâwe want to see passion, preparation, and a deep understanding of what makes an impact in this industry. These conversations are often eye-opening for both sides, and sometimes a call can change the whole perception of a nomination.â
A fair and rigorous selection
All shortlisted candidates will be evaluated through these live sessions, which are a vital piece of the final voting process. After the calls, judges are given time to reflect and reassess, using both written materials and insights gained from the interviews before anonymously casting their votes.
As in previous years, each judge receives three points to distribute among the candidates in each category. The winner is then determined through a transparent point-counting process.
Itâs worth noting that even nominees who are unable to attend the calls are still eligible to winâthough participating gives them a powerful chance to make their case directly and stand out. The process is intentionally designed to reward engagement, readiness, and integrity.
Looking toward Malta
The anticipation is building toward the Casino Guru Awards 2025 Gala Ceremony, taking place for the first time as a live, invite-only event at the prestigious Hilton Hotel in St. Julianâs, Malta, on June 6, 2025. Here, winners across all categories will be revealed in what promises to be a grand celebration of responsibility and achievement in iGaming.
In addition to the judge-assessed categories, the Playersâ Choice and Voice of the People are already open for public votingâfurther reinforcing the Awardsâ mission to reflect both industry expertise and real-world impact.
As the evaluation calls commence, we at Casino Guru celebrate every shortlisted nominee who has made it this far. Your innovation, effort, and commitment to a better gambling environment have already earned you a place among the industryâs elite.
