Players are taken on an ancient adventure in search of Countdown Wilds, Multipliers, Free Spins and more

Intrepid players will want to explore that latest blockbuster slot from Stakelogic. Treasures of Ra takes them on an ancient adventure, deep into a tomb where Wilds, Free Spins, Mystery symbols and riches await.

The game takes the 5×3 reel format with ten paylines active. Players must keep their eyes peeled, especially for the Countdown Wilds that can be discovered at any time. These drop on the reels and stay in place for the number of game rounds highlighted on the symbol.

The number of rounds can be one, two or three, and the number of remaining Countdown Wilds will decrease with each spin.

But this is a temple with many treasures and when three, four or five Scatter symbols appear on any of the reels, 10, 15 and 20 Free Games are awarded. But there’s more – Countdown Wilds are also awarded with two, three and four up for grabs based on the number of triggering Scatters.

While Free Spins are active, the Countdown Wilds have Multipliers. The Wilds are also additive, so all Multipliers on a winning line are added together. And we are talking big Multipliers here including x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x8, x10, x12, x15, x20, x25, x50 and x100.

The treasures just keep on coming. During Free Spins, a new symbol becomes available. When the Mystery symbol lands, one of the nine standard symbols is selected. All symbols on reels one to the Mystery symbol are then replaced with the chosen symbol.

This would not be a Stakelogic slot without Super Stake. This innovative feature allows players to effectively double their bet to increase the chance of one of the game’s bonus features triggering and insane win combinations landing.

In this game, it boosts the chance of the Free Spins bonus being activated.

Treasures of Ra also includes another Stakelogic innovation – Spin to Win. This merges the worlds of slots and live casino, with players given the chance to enjoy a spin on one of two live money wheels to be in with the chance of hitting a big prize.

Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic, said: “Ancient mystery slots are hugely popular but in Treasures of Ra we have taken this classic theme and given it the Stakelogic touch. This means captivating gameplay packed with big bonus action from the first spin to the last.

Countdown Wilds, Free Spins, Multipliers and even the chance to spin a live money wheel can be discovered deep within the temple and those players willing to explore its darkest depths will discover its greatest prizes.

This is another great addition to our growing portfolio of proven, popular, player-favourite slots and will help to further establish Stakelogic as a tier-one content provider.”

When LATAM gambles: Blask reveals seasonality patterns across six countries

Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Peru and Colombia represent six distinct iGaming markets — each with its own regulatory framework, player base and cultural rhythms. Yet beneath these differences lie powerful shared drivers: domestic football seasons concluding in Q4, mandatory year-end bonuses injecting billions into local economies, and national holidays that stretch into multi-day celebrations.

Using Blask’s Seasonality feature, player activity across all six countries was analyzed to map engagement peaks by month, day and hour. While regional trends are visible, the execution varies sharply at the local level.

Here’s what the data reveals.

Brazil: The Q4 Convergence Effect

In Brazil, November and December form a clear peak driven by three converging factors.

The Brasileirão season concludes in early December, with title races and relegation battles intensifying betting activity. At the same time, the Copa Libertadores semifinals and final fall in October and November — and Brazilian clubs’ recent dominance has kept engagement high.

The economic boost comes from the décimo terceiro, Brazil’s mandatory 13th salary paid in two instalments by November 30 and December 20. In 2024 alone, it injected R$321 billion into the economy, increasing disposable income during football’s decisive phase.

Saturday edges out Sunday as the top-performing day, reflecting the league’s fixture concentration. Weekends dominate overall, with a pronounced spike between 1 AM and 5 AM on Friday-to-Saturday nights — a sign that late-night casino sessions complement live sports betting.

Argentina: Aguinaldo and League Finals

December leads the calendar in Argentina, driven by the Liga Profesional’s mid-December conclusion and the aguinaldo, the country’s mandatory 13th salary paid by June 30 and December 18.

Sunday ranks highest for engagement, closely followed by Saturday, aligning with concentrated weekend fixtures. The peak activity window — midnight to 3 AM on Saturday-to-Sunday nights — reflects pre-match anticipation and late-night casino play following the workweek.

The pattern closely mirrors Brazil’s Q4 surge, but with a stronger Sunday bias.

Mexico: Liguilla and Late-Night Culture

December again stands out, coinciding with the Liga MX Apertura playoffs (Liguilla) and the championship final in mid-December. The aguinaldo — at least 15 days’ salary, paid by December 20 — provides additional liquidity at the same time.

Sunday leads weekly activity, with Saturday close behind. However, Mexico’s most distinctive feature is its consistent 2–3 AM activity peak across all days, amplified on weekends.

This pattern suggests a strong late-night gambling culture, where casino verticals such as slots, crash games and live dealer experiences drive engagement alongside sports betting.

Chile: September Over December

Unlike its regional peers, Chile’s biggest month is September — not December.

The surge is powered by Fiestas Patrias (September 18–19), the country’s most significant national celebration. When calendar alignment allows, festivities can stretch into a full week, with fondas, music and social gatherings creating a nationwide party atmosphere that extends into online gambling.

Saturday is the dominant day, with activity elevated throughout. Peaks occur around midnight on Friday-to-Saturday nights and again during Saturday afternoon (3–5 PM), indicating a blend of late-night casino play and daytime sports betting.

Peru: The Purple Month Effect

October and November represent Peru’s peak period, with November slightly ahead.

The Clausura tournament reaches its decisive stretch in early November, while October is dominated by Señor de los Milagros — the country’s largest religious festival. Celebrations extend into All Saints’ Day (November 1) and Day of the Dead (November 2), creating a sustained festive period.

Unlike Brazil and Mexico, Peru’s engagement is concentrated during daytime weekend hours, particularly morning and afternoon. This suggests a stronger alignment with live Liga 1 fixtures rather than late-night casino sessions.

Colombia: Primetime Precision

In Colombia, November leads, with October close behind.

The Torneo Finalización enters its cuadrangulares (semifinal group stage) during this period, building toward a December final. Anticipation around the prima de servicios — a mandatory half-month salary bonus due by December 20 — also supports late-year liquidity.

Sunday is the clear weekly leader, with evening primetime activity standing out. Engagement closely mirrors Liga BetPlay broadcast schedules, indicating sports betting is the primary driver rather than late-night casino behaviour.

The Bigger Picture: Regional Liquidity, Local Execution

Across LATAM, the Q4 bonus cycle — décimo terceiro, aguinaldo, prima de servicios and similar payouts — represents a predictable liquidity event spanning six major markets within an eight-week window. Crucially, it coincides with domestic football seasons reaching their climax.

However, peak timing differs significantly:

Mexico’s engagement spikes at 2 AM, while Peru’s is daytime-focused.
September outperforms December in Chile.
Colombia revolves around Sunday primetime broadcasts.
Brazil peaks on Saturday nights.

The takeaway is clear: while seasonality patterns are regional, execution must be hyper-local. Campaigns, product pushes and marketing spend need to align not just with the right month — but the right day and even the right hour in each individual market.
