Smash and Win mechanic boosted by three Special Features and powerful Free Spins to elevate entertainment

Playson, the accomplished digital entertainment supplier, welcomes players to join the party with Paddy Star: Smash and Win, where a charismatic leprechaun host and his Piggy Banks introduce the supplier’s innovative new mechanic.

The brand-new Smash and Win feature activates when the leprechaun Wild symbol combines with any Bonus or Jackpot icon. It unlocks their values and adds them to the winning spin in the Main Game or to the total win during Free Spins. This fresh mechanic is enhanced by three randomly triggered Special Features that can activate during a single spin.

Paddy Spin guarantees Wild and Bonus symbols, while Jackpot Nudge rewinds a random number of icons to reveal Jackpot symbols when the Wild lands on the central reel. Wild Nudge rewinds the centre cell of the third reel to land on the Wild symbol, with each feature capable of transforming an ordinary spin into something magnificent.

The title’s animated Piggy Banks, positioned above the reels, receive coins from the Wild symbol during both the Main Game and Free Spins. Each has the power to trigger six Free Spins, offering the opportunity to land a total of 12 if both activate at the same time. Free Spins can then retrigger, extending the party-level energy.

Four in-game Jackpots, from a 10x Mini Jackpot up to a 1,000x Grand Jackpot, add further excitement and are all paid during the Smash and Win feature only. With medium-high volatility and a max win of 2,129x, the title combines retention-proven mechanics with inventive new features.

This latest release demonstrates Playson’s talent for developing unique mechanics that enhance player engagement based on data-driven insights.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “Paddy Star: Smash and Win represents a fresh chapter in our commitment to innovation and delivering more to our partners. The mechanic was developed specifically for this title and brings something genuinely new to the reels.

“The combination of our Smash and Win feature, multiple themed Special Features and the dancing Piggy Bank characters creates an experience that is memorable and packed with winning potential.”

Multipliers of up to 10x and a 5,000x Grand Jackpot spark gameplay into life

Playson, the accomplished digital entertainment supplier, turns up the heat in its scorching new release Flaming Bells: Hold and Win, where nostalgic gameplay is reinspired with a 5,000x Grand Jackpot, Extra Bonus Game and valuable Multipliers.

Breathing new life into the retention-proven Hold and Win Bonus Game, Multiplier symbols can apply a random value of up to 10x per cell before disappearing to allow more symbols to drop. In a boost to win potential, Multipliers that land on a reel position already occupied with one see the values stacked, with the new amount adding to the existing value.

Bonus play is also enhanced through the inclusion of Mini, Minor and Major Jackpots, with fortunate players who fill the entire grid securing the red-hot Grand Jackpot standing at 5,000x.

Collect symbols gather all visible cash values from the reels, including other Collect icons and the three in-game Jackpot symbol values.

During the Main Game, any Bonus or flaming Collect symbols that land on the reels pose the chance of triggering the Extra Bonus Game. Enough Bonus or Collect symbols are added to the grid to activate the additional feature, which benefits from a guaranteed drop of Multipliers.

Playson’s Flaming Bells: Hold and Win underlines the supplier’s effortless ability to enrich its partners’ offering with meticulous enhancements to its top-performing mechanics, capturing the imagination of slot enthusiasts globally.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “Flaming Bells: Hold and Win delivers everything players love about the classic Hold and Win format while turning up the ante with fiery new twists.

“With stacked Multipliers, an Extra Bonus Game and a 5,000x Grand Jackpot, we have created a game that is both familiar and fresh – perfectly balancing nostalgia with intriguing developments.”
