Rapidly expanding content provider delivers data-driven sequel to improve on popular hit

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is proud to announce the release of Merge Up™ 2, the long-awaited sequel to the hugely popular cluster-pay title, Merge Up™. The new release elevates the original’s gameplay mechanics and design, using data-driven insights and research to give players exactly what they want.

The company has collaborated with Strmlytics, which provided factual streaming data and direct feedback from the streaming community playing Merge Up™. These insights have enabled BGaming to enhance gameplay without losing the charm and appeal of the original title.

This data-first approach has resulted in a visually modernised and polished slot experience. Merge Up™ 2 features an eye-pleasing pastel theme, with simplified visuals and mechanics that are now even easier for players to read.

Gameplay has seen the most significant enhancements. Cell Multipliers are now a central part of the base game, while consecutive clusters can trigger the all-new Bomb symbols, an idea inspired by a more rewarding experience compared to the original title.

Bonus features have also been made more accessible. The Free Spins bonus is triggered with three Scatters, as opposed to four, while three Bonus Buy options now offer different entry levels for players with a brand new bonus with maximum potential.

Merge Up™ 2 also boasts an explosive math model, offering a 10,000x maximum win and an impressive 98% RTP, enhancing the overall entertainment experience.

Yana Drabianok, Game Designer at BGaming, said, “We aimed to keep the merging mechanic as dynamic as before and make it even more engaging, but in the end, we knew the game must also have a heart. Merge Up™ 2 is more than a set of soulless features – it’s a game made with love for detail. We want the feeling of it to be precisely that of a game with a soul: with a smooth flow, understandable rhythm, instant readability, and pleasant “micro-rewards” at every step.

Sebastian Khalighy, CEO at Strmlytics, said, “We are delighted to work alongside BGaming again, and we are excited to see how players react to Merge Up™ 2. Our data, expertise and research identified key areas improvements of the original gaming experience focusing on improving the overall player experience, and we believe the final product addresses all of them, both for the fans of the original and also new players.

Data-driven insights and player research are going to play a key role in gaming development in the coming years, and titles like Merge Up™ 2 are an excellent example of what they are capable of helping to produce.”

Pull the Ultimate Stunt in BGaming’s Train Heist Johnny Cash

Rapidly growing content provider puts its fan-favourite outlaw back on the tracks in a high-volatility train-heist slot

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming sends players on a daring railway robbery with the launch of Train Heist Johnny Cash, the newest addition to its growing Johnny Cash series.

The game marks the return of Johnny Cash, BGaming’s own gold-hungry outlaw, who is back with another scheme to get his hands on the money. This time he is targeting the railroads, tapping into the train heist theme that has surged in popularity across the industry.

Train Heist Johnny Cash has a cluster-pays mechanic with cascading, refilling reels, so every win clears the board and drops fresh symbols into play. The Coin Respin round, triggered on highlighted winning cells in the main game, is powered by special symbols. After the TNT turns winning cells into Coins carrying different multipliers, the Dynamite Sticks boost the values of neighbouring Coins, and the Money Bags collect everything that has accumulated on the reels. This builds a rich, high-potential cycle that can escalate quickly.

The theme runs deep into the bonus play. Each time players trigger the Bonus round, they rob a more elite train than the last, giving the feature a sense of progression. A fully voiced Johnny Cash reacts to the heist as it unfolds and occasionally shoots at the reels, activating gameplay sequences and adding an extra layer of anticipation to every run.

Players have several ways to get involved. A Chance ×5 option raises the frequency of the Bonus round for a comparatively low price, while a Booster mode at ×50 and two Bonus Buy options give players even more flexibility over how they play. A third Bonus type can only be reached organically, acting as a long-term goal that keeps the main game rewarding over time. With very high volatility, ×10,000 max multiplier, and a 97% RTP, the title is aimed squarely at BGaming’s #Entertainment audience of streamers and risk-takers.

Johnny Cash has built a loyal following since his debut and is especially popular with players in the Australian market. That recognition gives Train Heist Johnny Cash a strong commercial appeal and a ready-made audience from launch.

Julia Alekseeva, CPO at BGaming, said: “Johnny Cash is one of our most recognizable characters, and it is always a lot of fun bringing him back for a new adventure. The heist theme and train setting have been popular on the market for a while now, and it was the perfect choice for Johnny’s latest attempt to get his hands on some cash.

We have paired this story with a cluster and cascade mechanic that keeps the wins flowing and the tension high. Between the Coin Respin on the reels, the evolving Free Spins, and Johnny being actively involved in the gameplay, there is plenty here to keep entertainment players and streamers coming back for another run.”

BGaming Releases ART Collab Slot Yokai Together with Gonçalo MAR

Rapidly expanding content provider joins forces with popular Portuguese street artist for its first slot in the series

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming has announced the release of Yokai, the debut title in its new ART Collab series, developed in partnership with one of Portugal’s most influential street artists, Gonçalo MAR.

ART Collab is an ongoing collection of titles created together with street artists from around the world. Each title will see the studio work alongside a different artist, helping them bring their individual art styles to life on the reels. Yokai marks BGaming’s third collaboration with Portuguese street artist Gonçalo MAR, following two previous projects, and this is the first time the partnership has evolved into a full game.

The partnership started when BGaming first encountered the artist’s work at an exhibition in Lisbon. Since then, they have worked together on various projects, with MAR’s work recently auctioned off as part of BGaming’s Charity Gala in aid of DAR Bjorn.

The reels have become a digital canvas for Gonçalo MAR’s creativity. The design, artwork, and story were created by the artist and brought to life with the help of the BGaming Team. The slot features various nods to the artist’s portfolio, including the appearance of his iconic ‘Turista’, a finger-fish image that inspired the game concept, as a symbol on the game grid and the head of the main character.

In Yokai, players join a mysterious Samurai on the edge of an ancient Japanese forest in the shadow of Mount Fuji. The Samurai stands guard alongside the Yokai, the fortune-bearing spirits of the woods, and watches patiently at the side of the reels, bursting to life at various points during the game, slicing the reels and triggering the bonus round. The Yokai spirits appear and vanish across the board during idle moments, giving the slot’s world a life of its own, and making it the perfect title for live-streaming sessions.

On the gameplay side, Yokai is just as creative, featuring two types of Wilds, cumulative multipliers, and a Free Spins bonus round, which keeps players on the edge of their seats by serving up a random number of spins each time. It also boasts strong winning potential, with a maximum win of x8,000 and a 97% RTP.

Like many other BGaming releases, the slot offers two Buy options. Buy Chance allows players to double the likelihood of triggering the bonus at a slightly higher stake, while the Buy Bonus allows players to access Free Spins immediately.

Ruslan Shakhlovich, Game Designer at BGaming, said, “Yokai is the first game in our ART Collab series, and it perfectly sets the tone for what we want the collection to be. It represents a genuine creative partnership, and you can experience Gonçalo MAR’s touch and vision throughout the slot.

Outside of the visual appeal, the game also delivers engaging gameplay and great winning potential. We are excited about the start of this new series, and we believe that Yokai is the beginning of something very special for BGaming and iGaming in general.”
