Million Games announces today the official launch of Chicken X & Friends, its real-time multiplayer crash game and the highly anticipated sequel to the award-nominated hit Chicken X.

Following a successful showcase at ICE 2026, where the game attracted strong interest and positive feedback from operators, partners, and industry professionals, Chicken X & Friends is now live and available to play.

Set across a chaotic multi-lane highway, Chicken X & Friends brings Jack Chicken back into action—this time in a shared, unlimited multiplayer environment. Unlike traditional crash games, gameplay never pauses. There are no waiting rounds or session start times. Players can jump in instantly and start playing at any moment.

Multiplayer Crash Gameplay, Evolved

Chicken X & Friends introduces unlimited, real-time multiplayer gameplay to the crash genre. Players are visible live on screen as they navigate traffic lanes, build multipliers, and decide when to cash out before the crash.

“This launch marks an important step for us,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Million Games. “Chicken X & Friends builds on everything players loved about the original, but adds a social layer that fundamentally changes how crash games feel. Seeing other players make decisions in real time adds tension, strategy, and excitement—and that was very clear from the feedback we received at ICE.”

Player Choice, Progression, and Personalisation

Gameplay takes place across multiple traffic lanes, each offering a distinct risk-and-reward profile. Slower lanes provide steadier multiplier growth with lighter traffic, while faster lanes increase volatility with denser traffic and quicker multiplier escalation.

Players actively choose how and where to play—staying safe, pushing into danger, or switching lanes as conditions change. Safe zones offer a brief pause from traffic, but staying too long triggers an automatic cash-out, ensuring the pace remains high and the pressure stays on.

As players progress, they unlock levels and cosmetic customisations, including different skins and hats for Jack Chicken. These visual rewards allow players to stand out on the road and showcase their experience and performance without affecting gameplay balance.

Movement is fast and intuitive, controlled through taps or directional inputs, allowing players to react instantly as traffic patterns evolve.

Social, Competitive, and Always On

In public playgrounds, up to ten players appear live on screen. Each player is represented by Jack Chicken, while competitors appear as pigeons, creating instant visual awareness of who is still in the race. The leading player is highlighted with a unique “king” skin and a visible live multiplier.

Live leaderboards track top performances over the past hour and 24 hours, encouraging repeat play and competition. Players can also choose to play solo or create private rooms with friends, offering flexibility without compromising the core gameplay experience.

Now Live and Available

Chicken X & Friends is launching today and can be played now on the Million Games website. Operators and partners interested in integrating the game or learning more about distribution opportunities are encouraged to get in touch with the Million Games team.

“This game represents something genuinely new for our industry,” added Thomas Nimstad. “We’re pushing beyond familiar formats to create experiences that players haven’t seen before. Unlimited gameplay, visible multiplayer tension, and shared decision-making open up a new direction for crash games—and that’s exactly the kind of innovation we want Million Games to be known for.”

Greentube, the NOVOMATIC Digital Gaming and Entertainment division, is stepping into the heart of the jungle with Gorilla Cash, an action-packed pays-anywhere slot where tumbling reels, collector tokens and free games combine for engaging feature-rich gameplay.

Set amongst the trees is the 6×5 grid, featuring a vibrant cast of jungle animal symbols, including gorillas, tigers, parrots and elephants. Winning combinations are formed by landing at least eight matching symbols anywhere on the reels, while winning symbols disappear to make way for new ones, triggering the tumble mechanic.

At the heart of the game is the dynamic Coin Stack Collector feature. At the start of any base game round, collector positions can be randomly applied across the grid.

When a coin stack lands on a collector position, its value is immediately collected and new symbols cascade into place. If additional instant cash prizes tumble into the same collector position, their values are also collected, allowing the feature to chain together multiple wins in a single round until no more coin values remain on screen.

When four or more scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels, players are awarded 10 free games, with the chance to earn five additional free games whenever four or more scatters appear during the bonus round. Throughout free games, any seeded collector symbols remain locked in place, enhancing win potential.

During the free games feature, coin stacks can also include multiplier symbols, which increase the Coin Stack Multiplier by 1x each time they are collected. This multiplier does not reset between spins and remains active for the entirety of the free spins round. Coin stack values range from 0.25x to 1.5x the bet, while high-value coin stacks can award between 5x and 100x the total bet.

Once no more coins can be gathered, the accumulated coin stack total is multiplied by the final multiplier value.

Richard Ganster, Director of Games Strategy and Games Portfolio Management at Greentube, said: “Gorilla Cash is designed to deliver constant momentum, with tumbling reels, collector mechanics and escalating multipliers keeping players engaged from start to finish.

“The jungle theme pairs perfectly with the game’s dynamic features, creating a wild and rewarding slot experience.”
