Spinomenal drops Westside Glory slot

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has dropped its hot new slot, Westside Glory as part of its Adventure Series.
Westside Glory is set on the West Coast streets where bling, bravado, and beats make for a platinum title. Framed by palm trees and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, this 5×3 slot takes players on the ultimate urban experience.
The game’s Wild symbol is represented by a striking lady and will count for all symbols except free spins and bonus symbols. Discovering five wild symbols on a winning line returns x1,000 the bet. Bags of cash, Cadillacs, gold rings and ferocious dogs all feature as the other high-value symbols.
Three or more scattered Free Spins symbols trigger the Free Spins, although these symbols will only appear in the base game on reels one, three and five.
Westside Glory also includes the Countdown Wild, which activates when the reels have come to rest. If there are any countdown Wild symbols on the screen, the game will enter a respin mode. Here the Countdown Wild will remain in place until the next re-spin and the counter decreases by one. Once there are no Countdown Wilds with a number greater or equal to 1 on the slot the re-spin mode finishes. These can only appear on reels one, three and five in the base game and re-spin mode.
Players can also take advantage of the Mystery symbols feature. Once the reels stop, if there are mystery symbols, they will open to reveal one random symbol, except Bonus, Wild or Free Spins symbols.
Free Spins are triggered by landing three or more scattered Free Spins symbols. In this mode, a Wild symbol expands on one reel and remains in place until the round ends. Once activated, players choose one of five options—each determining the reel for the Stacked Wild and the number of Free Spins awarded.
Three or more scattered Bonus Symbols launch the Bonus Game. Players receive three spins on a three-tiered fortune wheel to win multipliers, extra spins, or level-ups. Advancing levels increases prize values. A level-up awards an extra spin, and after all spins are used, players receive the total collected winnings.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Westside Glory takes players straight to the beating heart of Hip Hop culture – where fresh beats, vibes and wins make this a chart-topper.”

PG Soft releases fantasy-inspired Jack the Giant Hunter slot

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has launched Jack the Giant Hunter – a cascading-style, 5-reel, 4-row video slot featuring expanding reels and a dynamic multiplier mechanic.
Jack the Giant Hunter instantly plants players into an enchanted world where the path to riches is made perilous by a fierce giant.
