Superbet Group has announced the signing of €1.3 billion refinancing agreement with existing investors Blackstone and certain funds and accounts managed by HPS Investment Partners (HPS), to support the company’s ongoing expansion.

The new €1.3 billion arrangement provides Superbet with a strong financial platform for the coming years as the company continues to execute on its growth strategy – including its expansion into the Brazilian market, M&A optionality and further investment in innovative technologies.

Following a substantial investment in the proprietary technology platform, the company has accelerated growth and strengthened market positions across Europe. Additionally, the company has successfully expanded into new markets, highlighted by a recent launch in Brazil.

Booming Games turns up the temperature with Inferno Fortune Power Hit, the explosive first title in the brand-new Power Hit Series.

Set on a blazing 6×4 grid with 4096 ways to win, Inferno Fortune Power Hit is designed for players who crave nonstop action and high win potential. At the core of the game lies the powerful Power Hit feature, which can be triggered in both the base game and Free Spins.

To activate a Power Hit Spin, players need to land collector symbols on reels 1 and/or 6, which then collect the value of all coin symbols currently on screen. Coin symbols can land on all reels with values ranging from 0.5x up to 20x, delivering frequent wins with fiery intensity.

But that’s not all—players also have the chance to land jackpot coins, paying out 50x (Mini), 100x (Minor), 250x (Major) and a scorching 2000x for the Grand Jackpot. And if two collectors land at once? Every coin on screen gets collected twice, igniting even bigger win potential.

Free Spins are triggered by landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Bonus Symbols, awarding 3, 5, 7, or 9 Free Spins, respectively. Additionally, any scattered Bonus Symbols that don’t trigger the feature are stored in the Inferno Fireball. This fiery orb builds tension throughout the session and can randomly explode at any time,  suddenly launching players into the Free Spins mode.

To turn up the heat even further, players can activate the Inferno Bet, boosting their chances of triggering Free Spins. And for those who prefer to skip the wait, Inferno Fortune Power Hit also offers four Buy Bonus options, providing instant access to the fiery Free Spins feature.

Packed with coin collection thrills, random bonus triggers, jackpot excitement, and blazing visual effects, Inferno Fortune Power Hit marks an electrifying start to Booming Games’ Power Hit Series.

Moritz Blume, Vice President of Product at Booming Games, said: “With Inferno Fortune Power Hit, we’re launching a feature-packed, high-energy series designed to keep players on the edge of their seats. The collection mechanic, jackpot potential, and random bonus triggers offer a thrilling experience from start to finish.”
