REALISTIC GAMES BRINGS AN EASTER TREAT TO THE NETWORK WITH HOT CROSS BUNNIES – GAME CHANGER
Award-winning content developer Realistic Games has released Hot Cross Bunnies – Game Changer to its entire distribution network, featuring the supplier’s smash-hit game concept that creates almost unlimited bonus round combinations.
As an exciting re-vamp of Realistic’s original Hot Cross Bunnies slots, the new 5-reel, 20-fixed line title is the second game to include the popular Game Changer bonus round, which is triggered by boxed symbols landing around the edge of the reels to create a game board.
During the round, players roll the dice to move from square to square, landing on symbols that determine the prize awarded. Those displaying a Pink Bunny, Bell, or fruit will then spin the bonus slot and award 3, 4 or 5 of a kind of that symbol. Players should look to avoid the Take Prize symbol as this will end the bonus round.
If a Game Changer feature is activated with reels one and five showing three Pink Bunny symbols on each, it is impossible to lose and the player will keep travelling around the board and collecting prizes until they have reached the maximum pay out of 1000x their stake.
The network release follows a two week exclusivity period with the entire GVC group and complements the recent release of Hot Cross Bunnies Pull Tab, a colourful new instant win title that features a Free Spins Bonus Round to add extra excitement to the classic format.
Robert Lee, Commercial Director of Realistic Games, said: “The Game Changer concept is already exceeding our expectations and Hot Cross Bunnies – Game Changer promises to be no different, combining a popular theme familiar to Realistic fans with a bonus round that offers fantastic engagement and win potential.
“Our portfolio has consistently grown this year with high-performing slot titles and instant win games that have added new levels of diversity and innovation to our offering. We’re already receiving an incredibly positive response from our partners and look forward to seeing how these latest releases perform with players.”

ProntoPaga Transforms its Operating Model in Brazil to Ensure Risk-Free Transactions
ProntoPaga, a leading payment solutions company in Latin America, announces a key transformation in its operating model for the Brazilian market.
By implementing a new model as a Technology Service Provider (TSP), ProntoPaga is setting an important milestone in the evolution of the payments industry in Brazil for the new regulated online betting market, generating a positive impact on transparency and security for operators.
This implementation takes place in a key context for the gambling sector in Brazil, where the market regulation is undergoing modifications. The new legislation, which will take effect on January 1, 2025, aims to increase control over gaming operators’ transactions, a sector that has been affected in previous years by irregular practices and tax fraud. In this scenario, ProntoPaga takes the initiative to operate under a model that ensures operators more security in the administration of their funds.
Operating Model: Payment Facilitator without Money Handling
Under the TSP structure, ProntoPaga does not manage funds in their own accounts in Brazil, instead, operator’s funds will always be in bank accounts in their own names. These accounts are opened in 3 banks, with mandates that allow these openings to be frictionless. ProntoPaga will act as a facilitator, providing its technology to process transactions securely, efficiently, and without risk.
Technology for Zero-Risk, Maximum Transparency Transactions
With a robust technological infrastructure, ProntoPaga is responsible for “routing” transactions intelligently from the operators’ accounts to banking entities, completing transactions without directly accessing the operator’s funds. This process offers operators a transparent, secure, and risk-free experience in the Brazilian market, since their funds are always intact and not mixed in bank accounts with other operator’s funds.
Trust in an Evolving Market
ProntoPaga’s adoption of the TSP model in Brazil responds to the need to adapt to a more regulated Brazilian market, where bad practices created significant irregularities. Before the new legislation, cases of tax fraud and other offenses tarnished the reputation of certain PSPs, leaving operators and clients exposed to unnecessary risks. This migration to a TSP model guarantees a clear separation between operators’ finances and payment processing, ensuring strict regulatory compliance and eliminating any risk associated with fund management. ProntoPaga will continue strengthening its presence in the region, providing cutting-edge technology that supports the evolution of payment markets and financial regulation.
Certifications and Regulations
ProntoPaga holds international certifications that guarantee the security, transparency, and reliability of its operations. Among these are PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and ISO 27001 certifications, which validate and ensure that transactions are protected against fraud and cybersecurity threats. The company also holds certifications related to compliance and anti-money laundering (AML) and other regulations that govern and support the regulatory compliance of its operations in the countries where it operates. This is essential to provide security to its clients and partners, especially in markets with strict regulations like Brazil. These certifications, in addition to its advanced encryption and authentication technologies, reinforce its commitment to integrity and trust in each transaction in the markets where it operates.

MightyTips and Marathonbet collaborate on a new partnership deal to conquer the Brazilian market
Affiliate website MightyTips and betting platform Marathonbet are entering into a new partnership that covers the Brazilian market to dominate the booming iGaming scene.
This strategic partnership will help Marathonbet to skyrocket its presence in the giant South American country with a population of over 215 million, boosting acquisition numbers in an increasingly competitive market.
A recent report by SOFTSWISS estimated that Brazilians participating in sports betting-related activity and online casinos in 2022 exceeded 46%.
The report also suggested the sports betting market in Brazil is significantly larger than that of online casinos. It is with these figures in mind that Marathonbet will seek to capitalise on.
Launched in 1997, Marathonbet has a rock-solid reputation and primarily operates under a licence issued by the Government of Curaçao. It was one of the first sportsbooks to launch an online betting service back in 2002.
Its brand is associated with some of the biggest names in football thanks to a deep-rooted commitment to the sport. In the past ten years, it has sponsored the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United, Sevilla, and Lazio.
Eugene Ravdin, MightyTips Communications and Marketing Manager said: “Marathonbet is one of the biggest names in betting. Its long and storied evolution from the beginning of iGaming is incredible and we can’t wait to work alongside them.”
A Marathonbet spokesperson said: “We are pleased to announce the beginning of a long and fruitful cooperation with MightyTips. We are sure this will bring us and the players only positive emotions, and we wish all the players good luck and many victories.”
