B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming introduces a brand-new twist on progression-based gameplay in Masked Mayhem, a fresh, action-packed release designed to engage players with thrilling new features and expanding potential, as well as its new Push Actions category.

Continuing its expansion into innovative slot experiences while staying true to its hallmark style, Masked Mayhem delivers dynamic, mid-high volatility gameplay with an entirely new mechanic designed to enhance long-term engagement across a wide range of player types.

The game’s dynamic Win Zone forms the exhilarating heart of its appeal, expanding to create a larger prize collection area. In the base game, the Win Zone appears randomly in impactful sizes, from 2×2 up to a massive 5×5. However, the real prize potential is unlocked during free spins.

Collecting bonus symbols triggers a dramatic expansion of the Win Zone. Each symbol collected guarantees growth, opening up greater opportunities for high-value hits and securing those highly sought-after jackpot wins.

Fitting squarely into the Push Actions category, Masked Mayhem is aimed at players seeking innovation, immersion, and high-energy gameplay. It combines the strategic depth of a progression-based system with the visual flair of a bold wrestling theme, resonating particularly with Latin American markets while offering global appeal.

Key features include the all-new Win Zone mechanic, collectable jackpot symbols, and a chase element that adds a fresh level of excitement to each spin. With each trigger, players edge closer to unlocking some of the game’s most lucrative prizes, creating a powerful feedback loop of anticipation and reward.

Masked Mayhem joins a growing lineup of titles across Push Gaming’s new portfolio framework, which includes Push Originals, Push Actions, and sub-brand Reel Hot Games. Each stream is designed to deliver standout content for specific player profiles and regional preferences, while upholding the studio’s commitment to high-quality, high-performance game design.

George Fil, Director of Product Strategy at Push Gaming, said: With Masked Mayhem, we wanted to explore a different style of progression, one that feels organic and rewarding while keeping players focused on what might come next. The new Win Zone mechanic brings that to life, offering an experience that builds over time and feels deeply satisfying.

“It is a standout addition to the Push Actions category, perfectly demonstrating how we can blend strong themes with fresh features while continuing to build meaningful engagement in core markets like LatAm and beyond.”
