New cluster-pay title includes five character companions, Free Spins with progressive multipliers, and a ×10,000 max win at 97.11% RTP.

BGaming has released a new slot, Frenzy Clusters, adding another #Entertainment title to its portfolio. The game uses a cluster-pay mechanic and an expanding grid, with BGaming stating a maximum win of ×10,000 and an RTP of 97.11%.

Frenzy Clusters is built around five selectable character companions—Golub, Hugo, Bloke, Aussie, and Olaf—each positioned as culturally inspired. BGaming says the character choice does not affect outcomes, but characters react to wins with animations and interact with events on the reels.

Gameplay runs on a grid with blocked edge cells that can be unlocked by landing winning clusters next to them, expanding the play area. After wins, the game can trigger one of three random symbol effects: Rockets (clear a horizontal line), Books (clear a 3×3 area), and Spheres (remove all instances of the same symbol). BGaming says grid expansions last one spin in the base game and persist for the duration of the bonus round.

The Free Spins feature is triggered by three or more Scatters. BGaming says the bonus includes a progressive multiplier based on the number of Scatters, with no limit, and that players can access the bonus via Buy Bonus options or use a Chance feature to increase trigger probability.

Alex Baliukonis, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “At BGaming, we encourage our design team to get as creative as possible, and titles like Frenzy Clusters are the kind of magic they deliver.

This is one of our most imaginative titles to date, with each of the game’s five characters being designed to appeal to different players. Fantasy roleplay fans will definitely spot plenty of references in the game, with the team pulling inspiration from some of their favorite campaigns, and we have also been inspired by other popular culture stories.

The game goes beyond its aesthetic appeal, offering some big wins and a creative twist on the popular cluster-play dynamic, with the expanding grid providing the kind of engagement and progressive action that is tailor-made for streamers.”

Free virtual event focuses on content overload and the fight for player attention, with speakers from Print Studios, SOFTSWISS, Stake and more.

BGaming will run the second edition of its TRUE WAYS online conference on July 15 at 15:00 CET. The virtual event is free to attend with advance registration via the conference website.

This year’s theme is “Content Overload in iGaming: Who Wins the Player’s Attention?”. BGaming said the sessions will examine market saturation and what content and engagement strategies are most likely to perform in 2026 and beyond.

The agenda includes six sessions of up to 20 minutes each, followed by live Q&A. Confirmed speakers are Carl Wiggman, CEO at Print Studios; Gretta Kockonan, Head of Business Development and Partner Studios at SOFTSWISS; Caelum Ferrarese, Casino Product Specialist at Stake; Mike Danshin, CMO at 1w Crypto; Leonardo Benites, CEO at Propane; and BGaming Product Owner Igor Bondarenko. The event will be hosted by Surya Palli, creator of iGaming Real Talk.

BGaming is positioning the event as a follow-up to its inaugural TRUE WAYS conference in 2025, which the company said drew more than 400 approved attendees, with nearly 50% holding C-level positions, spanning Europe, LatAm, North America, and Africa.

Marina Ostrovtsova, CEO at BGaming, said, “Last year’s TRUE WAYS proved there is a strong appetite within the industry for honest conversations and practical insights, and we are excited to bring the conference back for a second edition.

Content overload is one of the biggest challenges facing iGaming today. With more games competing for attention than ever before, businesses need to think differently about how they engage players and build long-term loyalty.

This year, we have brought together experienced professionals from across the industry to share their perspectives on this challenge, discuss what is actually working in today’s market, and explore the strategies that will shape the future of player engagement.”

Rapidly expanding content provider collaborates with a Brazilian legend ahead of a summer of football

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming challenges players to take on Brazilian goalkeeping legend Júlio César in their latest #Casual title, Penalty Duel with Júlio César.

The game follows the official announcement of the partnership between BGaming and Júlio César at SiGMA South America in April, where César generated significant buzz with an in-person appearance.

The keeper’s popularity across the LatAm market made him the perfect choice for the collaboration, with the game likely to resonate strongly with Latin American football fans, a key demographic for BGaming.

The release is also timed perfectly to coincide with the kick-off of the summer’s major soccer international tournament, which takes place throughout June and July.

In Penalty Duel with Júlio César, players take a first-person perspective as the kicker, attempting to score past the legendary former Brazilian number one to secure multipliers. The ex-Inter Milan and QPR shotstopper has been faithfully recreated, resulting in a fully immersive experience for players.

The mechanics have also been carefully designed for football fans and casual gamers. Its low to medium volatility, quick sessions, and mobile-friendly play make it perfect for players looking to keep up the football action during half-time or between matches. All of this is complemented by a maximum win of ×4,860 and a generous 96.14% RTP.

Like a real penalty shootout, there is a sense of anticipation in every kick, with the possibility of the Golden Ball feature when Buy Chance is activated. When this triggers, the ball turns golden, multiplying any winnings by five. The Buy Bonus feature, worth ×100 the player’s stake, instantly triggers a series of five automatic strikes with accumulative multipliers.

Football fans who pay close attention to the game might also uncover a series of Easter eggs. These are secret animations that can be triggered by in-game events, keeping curious players active and providing additional content for streamers and creators.

Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “Júlio is an extremely popular figure in Latin America and is a respected figure among football fans worldwide. He has been a pleasure to work with on this game, and we believe it really captures the spirit and excitement of a real-life penalty shootout.

Football is going to be the center of attention this summer, and this star-led game is the perfect addition for those looking for some casual gaming fun to go alongside it.”
