Belatra, a leading developer of innovative online slots, has reached new heights with its brand-new release, Long Neck Fortune.

This latest title from Belatra’s studio places players in the heart of the gritty backstreets ruled by

swaggering geese. The 5×5 game sits within a backdrop of graffiti-covered walls and pimped-up cars, setting the stage for a high-stakes hustle. A slick, hip hop-inspired soundtrack amps up the energy and keeps the vibes flowing.

Central to Long Neck Fortune is the cool Wild Goose symbol. He substitutes for all symbols and will stretch its neck skyward if a multiplier hits on the top reel above, transforming its reel into a stack of Wilds. The goose neck extension only happens when the goose becomes part of at least one winning combination. Once this happens, the multiplier is applied to the line win, and if multiple expanded geese join the party, their multipliers add up before being applied. If no multiplier hits above, the goose will play as a regular Wild. Multipliers range from 2x to an astonishing 100x, making every spin a potential game-changer.

The action amps up with Free Games and these can be activated by hitting three or four Scatters triggers 10 Free Games, while five Scatters award 12 Free Games in the special Hot Mode. Once Free Games are live, the geese remain sticky on the reels until the feature ends, boosting chances for massive combinations. Every Scatter in Free Games triggers an additional Free Game.

During Free Games, bags weighing 5, 10, or 25 kg can drop on the top reel. If a Goose is beneath the bag, it falls onto its head, knocking the Goose down one, two, or three positions. The bag’s weight then transforms into a multiplier of 5x, 10x, or 25x.

Players who want to jump straight into the action can activate the Buy Bonus feature, which includes 10 standard Free Games, 12 Hot Mode Free Games, or a base game spin with at least two or three geese guaranteed.

Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, said: “With Long Neck Fortune, we wanted to create a slot unlike any other — a world where geese trade ponds for fast cars, golden chains, and stylish tracksuits. We’ve created an atmosphere that is playful yet bold, inspired by the pulse of street life, where style, power, and rivalry set the rules of the game. These geese are more than just symbols — they’re tough characters caught up in flashy showdowns and underground clashes, and they’re here to turn every spin into a story of their own.”

SOFTSWISS, a global tech provider of iGaming software solutions, reports strong results from its Anti-Fraud team for 2025, highlighting its ongoing commitment to help operators create a more secure operating environment.

The SOFTSWISS Anti-Fraud team played a pivotal role in safeguarding operations, addressing complex cases with growing efficiency and ensuring a safer environment for operators and players. From January through August 2025, the Anti-Fraud team:

• Prevented over €15 million in fraudulent transactions
• Closed more than 56,000 tasks
• Processed 70 player complaints submitted to gaming regulators and forums

While fraudulent behaviour patterns are largely similar to those seen in previous years, a new trend has emerged involving artificial intelligence. According to the SumSub Identity Fraud Report 2024–2025, the use of AI-generated deepfakes to bypass verification has become a growing challenge. SOFTSWISS is strengthening its internal tools and processes to address this emerging threat.

Ilya Nesterov, Anti-Fraud Team Lead at SOFTSWISS, comments: “This year, our team not only safeguarded €15 million for our clients but also handled tens of thousands of cases with precision and responsibility. Fraud tactics are evolving, but so are our secure data protection practices. For operators, this means a safer, more transparent environment to build trust and long-term success.”

As a core part of SOFTSWISS Managed Services, Anti-Fraud Support plays a crucial role in fostering the success of iGaming brands. Together with First Line Support, VIP Player Support, Player Retention and Reactivation, and Content Management, these services ensure smooth communication between operators and their audiences, streamline casino operations, and guarantee a flawless player journey.
