Gaming Corps invites players on to the ice in Shootout Champion ice hockey game
Players have the chance to take to the ice and turn their shots into huge wins with Gaming Corps’ new Shootout Champion arcade game.
The latest instant win title produced by the up-and-coming Swedish games developer comes with an ice hockey theme, where players face off against a towering goalie and light up the scoreboard.
The aim of the game is to score as many goals as possible without being blocked by the goalie. The player’s winnings increase every time they manage to score a goal, and they have the option to cash out their winnings after each successful attempt. However, if any shot is blocked, the game is over.
Players can tailor their experience to the format which suits them, as the goalie’s difficulty level can be set between 1 and 24. The higher the difficulty level, the higher the risk.
This is the latest arcade release in what has been a memorable year for Gaming Corps, following the launch of successful titles such as Raging Zeus Mines, Paddy’s Payout, Luke E. Chance and the Book of Luck, and most recently Wild Woof.
Connor Blinman, Head of Games at Gaming Corps said: “Ice hockey is a popular sport in our native Sweden, and I am very happy we have our own ice-hockey-themed game to bring to market. Our dedicated team of developers are continuously working extremely hard to produce more and more great titles, and they have managed to produce yet another game which I am sure players will find to be exhilarating. Shootout Champion is also a game that allows operators the option of a heavily branded product to maximise the connection between the brand and players. I look forward to offering Shootout Champion to our partners as our offering continues to go from strength to strength.
“We are constantly aiming to expand and improve on our exciting portfolio of games as we continue to provide thrilling games for players to enjoy, and they can look forward to several more game releases we have in the pipeline for this year.”

Ten Square Games has begun a phased rollout for Medal Hunter, a new mobile PvP shooter for iOS and Android. The title entered technical release on 4 May, with global availability planned around the turn of May and June, subject to further improvements.
The initial rollout covers Mexico, Vietnam, the Philippines and Poland. Ten Square Games said this stage is focused on verifying technical KPIs and performance stability, while the team fine-tunes gameplay parameters.
Around mid-May, Medal Hunter is expected to move into a broader soft launch, with gradual availability in Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. The company said the focus will then shift to validating short-term retention and engagement.
Medal Hunter is set in combat environments inspired by different historical periods, with architecture and weapons “strongly influenced” by real references but stylized for mobile play. At launch, the game includes five locations, and players compete in short PvP rounds by eliminating moving targets including aircraft and naval units, using two different shooting models.
CEO Andrzej Ilczuk said the project builds on Ten Square Games’ development approach used for Trophy Hunter: “Medal Hunter is an example of how we are putting our growth strategy into practice. Trophy Hunter helped us build a new development model based on clear benchmarks, early validation and a better understanding of the signals that matter before scaling a product. Medal Hunter capitalizes on that experience and on the broader product knowledge we have built across our portfolio. By using proven gameplay mechanics and working in this model, we were able to bring a new title to market in less than a year from the start of development. This gives us earlier insight into a game’s potential, helps limit development risk and allows us to shape products more closely around what players actually respond to”.

Bet on Games, the instant and crash games vertical within the Betcore ecosystem, has launched a new horror-themed crash game called Zombie Rush. The title is now available for global integration via Betcore’s single API, alongside content from TVBET and ElCasino.
Zombie Rush wraps the crash mechanic in a graveyard “survival run” theme. Players decide when to cash out as the multiplier rises, with the round ending when the “crash” triggers.
Bet on Games said the game runs on an “Optimized Math Model” with 97.5% RTP and a “dynamically accelerating multiplier curve.” The release also highlights “Visceral Horror Aesthetics,” linking the crash moment to a “grisly, memorable animation.”
On the feature set, Zombie Rush includes Autoplay and Auto Cash-out. It also adds “Strategic Dual-Betting,” which allows play across two parallel rounds simultaneously.
Betcore is directing partnership and integration inquiries to [email protected]. A gameplay video is available here.
