High-volatility 6×6 cluster slot goes live to operators and aggregators via Million Games on 30 June 2026.

Million Games has launched Skull King’s Treasure, a high-volatility cluster slot developed in partnership with Million Stars studio Arcane Pixel. The game becomes available to operators and aggregators through the Million Games distribution network on 30 June 2026.

The title is Arcane Pixel’s first release under the Million Games brand. It runs on a 6×6 grid with a cluster pay mechanic, paying on connections of five or more matching symbols and using cascading wins to enable multiple outcomes from a single spin.

Gameplay is built around Wild generation and multiplier progression via the Skull King mechanic. Winning Wild symbols are absorbed to increase the multiplier for subsequent cascades, linking continued wins with increased payout potential.

A Free Spins mode triggers on four or more Scatter symbols and awards up to 10 spins. During Free Spins, the multiplier does not reset between spins.

“With Skull King’s Treasure, Arcane Pixel has delivered a confident first release,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Million Games. “The game combines familiar cluster mechanics with strong multiplier progression, creating a clear and engaging experience with real upside. It’s exactly the kind of partner-driven innovation the Million Stars programme is built to support.” Million Games said the title has a maximum win potential of 10,000x the bet.

Laedan Bridge advised and facilitated the deal as the iGaming studio targets broader distribution beyond 300+ operators.

F*BASTARDS has secured a seven-figure investment to accelerate game development and global expansion, the iGaming studio said. Malta-based investment brokerage and strategic advisory firm Laedan Bridge acted as strategic advisor and deal facilitator on the transaction.

The studio said the funding will be used to expand its operations, speed up its new game development pipeline, and strengthen distribution across global iGaming platforms. F*BASTARDS said its content is live across 300+ operators and leading aggregators.

Laedan Bridge said it structured and introduced the investment opportunity to its investor network and supported the transaction through to completion.

Justin Anastasi, Principal at Laedan Bridge, said: “From the beginning it was clear that F*BASTARDS was building something different — backed by extensive industry experience. The team brings together creativity, strong product thinking, and the courage to challenge traditional industry formulas. Supporting them in securing this investment was an easy decision, and we are excited to see the studio continue its rapid growth.”

Ugnius Seskas, Co-founder at F*BASTARDS, added: “We didn’t build F*BASTARDS to be another content shop — we built proprietary RGS/RNG infrastructure, and earned our place across 300+ operator integrations before most people had heard the name. This investment lets us push that foundation further: more titles, deeper reach, and a brand that operators and players can’t ignore.”

Belatra Games has signed a partnership with SlotCatalog, the companies announced Thursday 21st May 2026.

The agreement will see SlotCatalog showcase Belatra’s game portfolio on its slot database and content discovery platform. The companies said the partnership is aimed at improving player-facing communication, including highlighting “strengths and areas for improvement,” and keeping players updated on new releases.

SlotCatalog, founded in 2016, positions itself as an independent database providing game information, reviews, and industry updates for players, operators, and studios.

In turn, SlotCatalog provides honest and transparent content and information for players, which is exactly what we, as a game provider, are looking for. After all, we are confident in the quality of our games and want to communicate that directly to players. We also have plenty of exciting things in store for players this summer and autumn, and we look forward to sharing them with the help of SlotCatalog.”

Daria Kushnir, CMO at SlotCatalog, added: “The best partnerships in our industry aren’t transactional, they’re goal-oriented. With Belatra, that goal is simple – matching the right games to the right players, faster. Their studio depth and our audience intelligence go hand in hand, giving both sides the ability to compound results over time.”
