High 5 Games is Bringing the Heat with its Hot New Release
Leading independent casino games provider High 5 Games is set to launch its hottest slot game to date with the release of Hot Blox.
The new slot game is burning with innovative and classic fun. Players can spark an inferno as they charge up the nine 2-by-2 reel board and feed the flames to ignite excitement when they activate Multipliers.
With the unique Symbol Fusion feature, when all four symbol positions in a given reel are filled with the same symbol, those 4 symbols fuse together as one, awarding the winning combination. All the other reels outside of the winning combination will continue to charge by filling the red meter around the symbols. When any reel fully charges, it will be hot with Multiplier rewards for the next four spins.
Phil Welty, Head of Game Design at High 5 Games, said:
“Hot Blox is a game that mixes unique, innovative gameplay with a ride and aesthetic that will appeal to fans of classic, stepper-style slots. Wins are formed by matching 2×2 blocks of small symbols to form 3 or more matching big symbols, but the real excitement of this game lies with the heat meters surrounding each block. The meters heat up with each successive miss on a given block until a fully charged meter ignites and awards multipliers on wins including that block. The appeal of building up the heat will keep players engaged through any losses in anticipation of building up to a big win. Multiple ignited meters award progressively larger multipliers up to 100x on the base amount won, creating a volatile experience with explosive win potential. We can’t wait until players get the opportunity to experience this game first-hand!”
Hot Blox will be released on Thanksgiving week, being exclusively available on High 5 Casino for real money and social play on Tuesday, November 24th. It will be globally available to H5G’s entire network of partnering operators on Wednesday, November 25th.

Veikkaus’ active preparation towards the new gambling system, which will launch in 2027, continues.
As part of the new strategy, Veikkaus held change negotiations in the Betting and Online Casino operations in the autumn. The change negotiation process has now been completed. Following the change negotiations, 14 employment relationships ended and 19 Veikkaus employees underwent significant changes in their employment relationships.
“We had to make decisions that were painful from a human perspective, but they are necessary for the future of the company. I would like to thank those who will no longer be with us for their hard work,” said Business Director Jarkko Nordlund.
According to Nordlund, Veikkaus is now creating a new organizational structure that will prepare the company for the coming years.
“Digitalization is also strongly driving our industry. International competition and the pace of development are really fierce. Veikkaus has decades of fine traditions and a lot of good expertise as a company. Alongside these, we now need the kind of professionalism that will enable us to serve our customers even better and more individually.”
The company is recruiting dozens of new digital channel and betting professionals over the coming year.
“We need more expertise for Veikkaus that will make us even stronger and more competitive in the new market situation. We are also looking beyond Finland’s borders. According to current estimates, more than 30 new positions will open by next summer. We want to be strong, growing and profitable in the future,” Nordlund said.
The Parliament intends to have the new Gambling Act passed by the end of 2025. When the law comes into force, it will open up the opportunity for other gambling companies, in addition to Veikkaus, to apply for, for example, sports betting and online casino licenses in the Finnish market. According to the current estimate, other gambling companies could also start operating with a license in Finland during 2027.
Lottery games, cardboard tickets and physical slot machines will remain exclusive to Veikkaus in the future.
