Midnite Express is the first bespoke title under the pair’s July 2025 partnership and adapts mechanics from Fire Rail Express: Hold And Win.

Octoplay has launched Midnite Express, a lifetime-exclusive branded slot built for UK operator Midnite. The title is the first custom product released under the companies’ partnership, which went live in July 2025.

Midnite Express is based on the game mechanics behind Fire Rail Express: Hold And Win, which Octoplay says is among its strongest-performing titles in the US. The supplier points to the EILERS-FANTINI Online Game Performance report, where it says the game has held a top-three position in the “New Top Game Ranks – Slots” category for three consecutive months.

“Midnite Express is the first custom product we’ve built for Midnite, and it’s a meaningful step in how this partnership is developing,” says Ralitsa Georgieva, CEO at Octoplay. “A year on from our initial launch, we’re moving from portfolio integration to co-developed content built specifically for their players. Adapting the mechanics behind one of our top-performing US titles for the UK with Midnite reflects how we work with operators who want more than off-the-shelf content.”

Chelsea Pinho, Head of Casino at Midnite adds: “Octoplay has been a strong content partner since we went live together last year, and Midnite Express is the result of a collaboration grounded in shared ambition. Having a lifetime exclusive title based on proven mechanics gives us a product we can put behind with confidence.”

The launch follows a run of UK integrations for Octoplay, including a recent go-live with Bally’s Intralot, and earlier integrations with Evoke’s 888 and Mr Green brands, Virgin Bet, and LiveScore Bet. Octoplay says it is now live in 18 regulated markets, including the UK, Malta, Romania, Croatia, Sweden, Slovakia, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Greece, Spain, Finland, Georgia, Brazil, New Jersey, Michigan, and Ontario.

Blask has rolled out a modular subscription model for its AI-powered iGaming analytics platform, replacing its Early Adopters pricing plans. The company said customers can now build subscriptions by selecting countries, analytics modules, add-on features and the access period.

Under the new structure, the minimum configuration starts at €247 per month, or approximately €160 per month on an annual contract, according to the company. Blask said subscriptions can cover as little as a single country.

Blask said pricing is made up of base access to the platform plus selected products and markets. Market analytics covers 135 countries across three pricing tiers, ranging from €7 to €28 per country per month. Game analytics is available in 25 countries at €5 to €20 per country per month. State and province-level data is priced at €56 per month for the United States, and €28 per month each for Canada and Australia.

The company has also opened access to its data via an API, allowing customers to integrate metrics into their own analytics systems, CRM platforms and AI tools through MCP, without working inside the Blask interface. For companies looking for one-off work, Blask said it also offers customized reports combining its data with analysis from its research team.

“Analytics is now a basic condition for survival in this market,” said Max Tesla, chief executive and co-founder of Blask. “That is why we are making it more accessible: build a plan around your specific task, start with one country and scale when you are ready. Making analytics affordable has been part of Blask’s DNA from the very beginning.”

Blask added that the pricing update follows a week of industry recognition, after it received two awards at the 2026 iGB Affiliate Awards, winning Rising Star and Innovator of the Year.
