ENJOY Gaming has expanded its live casino portfolio with the launch of Greek Roulette, an automated roulette product that adds multiplier mechanics to standard table gameplay.

The title is set in an ancient Greek-themed studio and uses an automated wheel. Alongside traditional inside and outside bets, each round includes a Lucky Numbers feature that randomly selects between one and twelve numbers and assigns multipliers of up to x777.

If a straight-up bet lands on a Lucky Number, the company said the standard payout is replaced by the assigned multiplier.

Elena Shestak, Art Director at ENJOY Gaming, said: “Greek Roulette demonstrates how traditional table products can be refreshed through careful design, forming part of a wider effort to evolve our live and automated portfolio consistently.

“By introducing Lucky Numbers and dynamic multipliers within a traditional framework, we’re focused on modernising established formats in ways that feel natural, recognisable, and distinctly ENJOY.”

ELA Games’ King and Flame has been named a finalist for Best New Game Release at the 2026 SiGMA Europe Awards. The awards are scheduled to take place at the Casino Maltese in Valletta, Malta, on May 27.

The company said the nomination reflects its approach of combining narrative design with slot math models. King and Flame is positioned as a medieval fantasy Hold and Win title built around a storyline that “flips classic fantasy tropes upside down,” with a prince unleashing a Dragon Queen.

According to ELA Games, the game includes coin symbols that pay their face value, Mystery Chests that can award instant prizes or trigger the Grand Jackpot, and a “Tamed by the Crown” feature where the Dragon Queen appears as an expanding Full Reel Wild. The studio also highlighted free spins with column-expanding coins and a Super Bonus Wheel that doubles rewards.

Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director of ELA Games, said: “We’re very happy to see King and Flame get a nomination at the very well-regarded SiGMA Europe awards. I know the work everyone at the ELA team put into creating an intricate back story and graphic world for this slot. It is one of the most narrative-based titles we have released to date, and the care the team put into the design has really brought that story to life. It is wonderful to see that dedication noticed on such a prestigious stage.”

SiGMA has opened public voting for the category via its awards site.
