Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has officially released Sunstone Riches, a high-volatility video slot that transports players deep into the Mesoamerican jungle. Inspired by Aztec mythology and the hunt for legendary gold, the game focuses on a streamlined, “sun-powered” bonus mechanic designed to deliver a clear sense of progression.

Core Gameplay and Visuals

Sunstone Riches is set against a lush, animated jungle backdrop where stone-carved temples and mystical icons set the stage. The game features a classic grid populated by vibrant jungle fruits, golden artifacts, and ancient mystical symbols.

• Wild Symbols: Substitute for all regular paying symbols to help form winning combinations in the base game.

• Vivid Aesthetic: Maintains Evoplay’s signature high-definition visual quality, optimized for seamless play across mobile and desktop devices.

The Bonus Game: Sunstone Accumulation

The heart of the experience is the Bonus Game, a “Hold and Win” style mechanic that focuses on symbol collection and value building.

• How to Trigger: Players must land Bonus symbols on reels 1 and 3, combined with a Sun-Bonus symbol on reel 2.

• The Mechanic: The round begins with 3 spins. The spin counter resets every time a new symbol lands on the reels.

• Fixed Sun-Bonus: During the feature, Sun-Bonus symbols remain fixed. As regular Bonus symbols land, their values are instantly added to the Sun-Bonus symbols, creating a “snowball effect” of accumulated riches until the respins run out.

Random Modifiers and Direct Access

To keep the base game engaging, Evoplay has included the Sun Gifts feature. This random modifier can trigger on any spin, placing the necessary Bonus or Sun-Bonus symbols onto the reels to guarantee entry into the bonus round.

For players who prefer to skip the jungle trek and head straight to the treasure, a Bonus Buy option is available, allowing instant access to the Bonus Game for a fixed multiple of the player’s stake.

“With Sunstone Riches, we aimed to design a game that feels straightforward and satisfying from the very first spin,” said Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay. “The mechanic provides players with a genuine sense of progress… showcasing our commitment to creating engaging gameplay without unnecessary complication.”

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has launched Young Eagle Song, a dynamic new Hold & Win title set above the snow-capped mountains of North America.

The game follows the eagle as it soars through storm clouds, with each spin offering the chance to discover the treasures hidden in the sky. Landing six or more bonus icons instantly triggers the Hold & Win round, where gold coins lock onto the reels and players get closer to the Mini, Major, or Grand jackpots.

Young Eagle Song offers a classic Hold & Win experience with a sharp, focused rhythm. The feature starts with three spins, resetting to three each time another coin lands. Each Bonus icon reveals a prize value ranging from 1x to 15x the stake, or one of the game’s fixed jackpots. Collecting all 15 positions wins the Grand Jackpot worth 1,000x, reaching its climax.

Players seeking direct access can utilise the bonus buy option, worth 32x the total bet, which instantly activates the feature with six coins already secured on the reels.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Young Eagle Song captures the raw force of nature in a simple yet powerful format.

“We wanted to offer a clean, engaging Hold & Win experience with clear progression and strong win potential, brought to life through striking visuals and a bold atmosphere.”
