3 Oaks Gaming has added a new bonus mechanic, Flexible Free Spins, to its promotional tools offering, the company said.

The feature allocates free spins based on a total value rather than a fixed number of spins at a set stake. Players can then select how to use the award from up to 20 options, choosing between different combinations of bet size and spin count while staying within the same budget.

3 Oaks Gaming said each option is mathematically pre-calculated to remain within the defined value. When the award is issued, players see a modal pop-up with the available choices, with the default selection set to the median option.

Anna Nozdran, Acting Product Owner at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “Flexible Free Spins deliver a fresh take on the traditional bonus setup within an online slot, providing players with greater control over their gameplay experience that suits their preferences.

“Every option is pre-calculated within the same budget, ensuring consistency for operators while offering a more dynamic experience for players. We firmly believe this new addition will complement the existing 3 Oaks Gaming portfolio and deliver greater value for our partners.”

Infingame, a leading game aggregator, has rolled out major upgrades to its Tournaments and Challenges promotional tools, offering operators advanced ways to engage and retain players.

Instead of introducing new products, Infingame focused on refining its most popular gamification features, enhancing flexibility, performance, and campaign management. These improvements cater to operators increasingly prioritizing long-term player engagement over acquisition.

Enhanced Competitive Tournaments

Infingame’s Tournaments tool transforms regular gameplay into competitive experiences, boosting interaction through real-time progression. Optimized for web and mobile, the tool now allows operators to:

• Customize tournaments with brand-specific banners

• Segment players for whitelist participation

• Add timed promotions like Happy Hours

• Select from five tournament formats: bet race, win race, multiplier race, highest multiplier, and highest win

The updated reward system supports monetary and non-monetary prizes, free spins, optional wagering requirements, and automated payouts, reducing operational workload while maintaining campaign flexibility.

Challenges for Mission-Based Engagement

The Challenges tool guides player activity with structured tasks and rewards, creating mission-based engagement journeys. The upgrade enhances flexibility and precision, supporting:

• Short-term promotional boosts

• Recurring engagement strategies

• Daily and long-term challenges for consistent player activity

This approach helps operators sustain engagement across the entire player lifecycle, creating meaningful, repeatable experiences.

Operator-Driven Development

Jana Filagina, Head of Commercial at Infingame, commented:
“The goal wasn’t to reinvent Tournaments and Challenges but to make them more powerful and user-friendly. Operators need tools that drive engagement continuously while keeping operational complexity low.”

Fully integrated into Infingame’s aggregation platform, the updated tools can be deployed instantly across thousands of games via a single API, enabling a unified ecosystem where content, analytics, and engagement mechanics work seamlessly together.

The upgrades reflect a broader industry trend toward gamified, retention-focused strategies, helping operators maximize player activity while simplifying management.

Amusnet has released Crazy Octopus, a new slot that brings the mysteries of the ocean to life. Set among glowing corals and playful sea creatures, this 5-reel, 20-payline gaming experience invites players to explore a lively aquatic kingdom where excitement flows with every spin.

The reels are filled with 12 bright symbols, all set against a mesmerising underwater backdrop where bubbles drift, and marine life glides through the deep. At the centre of the action is the Air Bubble Wild, which can appear on any reel to substitute for all symbols except the Scatter, helping create more rewarding combinations. The Scatter symbol appears on reels 1, 3 and 5, unlocking the Free Spins feature and sending players deeper into this underwater adventure.

Free Spins are triggered by landing three or more Scatter symbols on the reels, and the excitement doesn’t stop there. The feature can be retriggered, extending the action even further. During the Free Spins mode, air bubbles fly around and transform into Wild symbols whenever they land on the reels, boosting the potential for winning combinations. If a Wild lands on a Scatter position during Free Spins, an additional spin is instantly added, keeping the momentum going beneath the waves.

Adding a playful twist to the gameplay, the Instant Win feature may activate during any spin in the base game. A curious jellyfish can swim across the screen at random, delivering an immediate boost by multiplying the bet with a surprise multiplier of 10x or 20x. For those eager to jump straight into the bonus action, the Buy Bonus feature offers direct access to eight Free Spins without waiting for the Scatters to land.

With its colourful underwater theme, lively features, and spontaneous surprises, Crazy Octopus delivers a cheerful oceanic journey where every spin feels like a dive into hidden treasures and playful sea adventures.

Free Spins

Landing three Scatter symbols on the reels triggers eight Free Spins. If during the Free Spins mode another three Scatter symbols appear, six new spins are added to the player’s remaining spins. If an air bubble lands on a Scatter symbol during the Free Spins mode, one new Free Spin will be added.

Instant Win

During each spin in the main game, a jellyfish may randomly cross the screen. While doing so, the jellyfish will award the player an Instant Win, in which the total bet of the game is multiplied by a random multiplier of x10 or x20 to determine the win.

Buy Bonus

The feature allows players to purchase eight Free Spins at the price of 100x the total bet of the game.

Gamble

Play the game and multiply the winnings through the Gambling feature.

Jackpot Cards

The Jackpot Cards bonus game is triggered at random during the gameplay to allow players to win impressive jackpots.
