Scientific Games Launches Industry’s First Syndicated Slots Jackpot with Betsson
Under Scientific Games’ OpenGaming™ brand, Mega Drop™ Quest Syndicated Jackpots bring community-based jackpots online.
Scientific Games Corporation has unveiled the world’s first syndicated jackpots product for the online casino market, which has gone live for a limited exclusive period with Betsson.
Under Scientific Games’ OpenGaming brand, the Mega Drop Quest syndicated jackpot product allows for groups of people to ‘win together’ and create more chances of winning big prizes within a slot game. Players are able to join others to collectively win a percentage of a larger jackpot, allowing for more accessibility and introducing a community gaming component.
Betsson is the first Scientific Games iGaming partner to launch with the innovation, which will be available across the Open Gaming System network in January 2020. The initial network-wide launch will debut in Europe, with additional global territory release dates to be announced.
Dylan Slaney, SVP Casino for SG Digital, said, “It is important that we as suppliers embrace syndicates and help build solutions that simplify community games to make them accessible and enjoyable for all players. This has been one of the greatest challenges our team has undertaken, and we feel that we have risen to the occasion, creating a value proposition that goes well beyond a ‘big win’. We are proud to have delivered a product that supports the community vision of our platform and are thrilled to partner with Betsson for this first release to market.”
The first game available under the Mega Drop Quest brand is Nessie’s Mega Drop Quest. The game reimagines the player experience with syndicated jackpots, a multiplier bonus wheel, added wilds and free games all delivered through a unique double reel mechanic triggered by Nessie, the world famous Loch Ness monster.
Phil Lam, Head of Gaming at Betsson said, “Social gaming is set to become an important aspect of online casinos in the coming year. We’ve been very impressed with Scientific Games’ new Mega Drop Quest syndicated jackpot, which is sure to create a fun and engaging experience for groups of players, as they look to win big prizes together. We’re proud to be the first to launch this exciting concept.”

Booming Games launches Henhouse Hustle: Hold and Win
New farm-themed slot adds Free Spins, Hold and Win, and optional bonus buys priced at 75x and 150x the bet.
Booming Games has launched Henhouse Hustle: Hold and Win, a new farmyard-themed slot featuring a Free Spins mechanic and a Hold and Win bonus. The supplier said the game runs on a 5×3 grid with 20 paylines and offers a maximum win potential of 6,000x.
In the base game, Golden Eggs are stored in a Collection Pot. Free Spins trigger when three Golden Eggs land on the middle reels, with their cash value moved above the reels at the start of the round. Booming Games said that cash value is awarded each time a Golden Egg lands during the feature.
During Free Spins, Boost symbols can increase Egg prizes to the next prize level from one to five times, while an Extra Spins symbol can award between one and five additional spins. The company said Boost symbols can increase to Prize Pot values of 10x-1000x, awarding Mini, Minor, Major and Grand prizes.
The Hold and Win round triggers with five or more Eggs and starts with three respins, with Egg symbols held in place and the respin counter resetting when additional Eggs land. The Grand Prize is awarded when all positions on the grid are filled with Eggs. The release also states that triggering with five or more eggs including three golden eggs activates a Combo Bonus, awarding both Hold and Win and Free Spins in a Super Bonus Round.
Booming Games said players can purchase either the Bonus or the Combo Bonus for 75x and 150x the bet amount respectively, which is guaranteed to trigger the Hold and Win feature. A Boost+ option can also be activated in the base game, increasing the bet amount by 1.25x and increasing the chance of triggering bonus features.
Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Packed with a host of innovative new features which offer fast-paced, high stakes gameplay, Henhouse Hustle: Hold and Win is the latest example of Booming Games’ market-leading capabilities. The Fox acts as the antagonist, stealing Golden Eggs and adding a real sense of theatre to the game, which we’re confident will be a hit among players.”

3 Street Sevens
Tom Horn Gaming sprays fresh excitement onto the reels with new slot 3 Street Sevens
Tom Horn Gaming is bringing the energy of the streets to the reels with the launch of 3 Street Sevens, a high-volatility video slot where vibrant graffiti aesthetics meet an action-packed Hold & Win experience.
Set against a gloomy urban underground, the game invites players to ‘Spray the reels. Chase the 7s.’ as colourful spray can symbols gradually paint the iconic sevens, building anticipation before unleashing one of seven unique Hold & Win bonus variations. Combining bold street art, cinematic animations and visible gameplay progression, the game delivers a fresh visual identity that is set to stand out in operator lobbies while giving players more ways to enjoy one of the most popular mechanics.
The game’s Hold & Win FeatureStorm introduces seven possible variations, each determined by the combination of spray symbols that trigger the feature. Green Collector spray symbols gather the values of all coins on the grid, Blue Multiplier sprays boost coin values by up to 10x, while Red Jackpot sprays award fixed jackpot prizes, ranging from Mini, Minor to Major and Grand Jackpot. These mechanics can appear individually or in combination, creating seven distinct bonus experiences that keep gameplay varied and replayability high. The ultimate FeatureStorm bonus brings all three special symbols together, producing rewarding combinations that can dramatically change the outcome of the feature.
Players looking for instant action can also take advantage of two Bonus Buy options. One offers a randomly selected Hold & Win bonus game with up to three active symbols, while the premium option guarantees the complete FeatureStorm experience with all three spray symbols active from the very first respin, giving players direct access to the game’s most rewarding feature combinations.
Commenting on the launch, Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming, said: “3 Street Sevens is another strong addition to our portfolio, combining distinctive visuals with varied Hold & Win gameplay that keeps players engaged. For our operator partners, it offers a fresh, feature-rich title designed to stand out in the lobby and encourage repeat play.”
3 Street Sevens will be available to operators worldwide from 30 July.

Gaming Corps signs UK launch deal with evoke brands William Hill, 888 and Mr Green
Partnership starts in the UK with an exclusive release of Bass Rewards Bonanza: The Golden Catch before expanding to other markets.
Gaming Corps has signed a content partnership with evoke plc to roll out its games across the operator’s brands including William Hill, 888 and Mr Green. The companies said the collaboration will begin in the UK before extending to additional markets.
The initial launch includes an exclusive release of Bass Rewards Bonanza: The Golden Catch. Gaming Corps describes the title as a high-volatility slot featuring Fish Money symbols, Collect mechanics, persistent “Multicrease multipliers” and a 10,000x top prize.
Following the exclusive, evoke is set to add more content from the Gaming Corps catalogue across slots and other formats, including table and mine games, plinko and multiplier titles, plus proprietary products and series such as Smash4Cash
and Instant Blitz.
Adam Pentecost, Chief Revenue Officer at Gaming Corps, said: “Some partnerships stand out because of their scale, while others carry added weight because of the brands involved. This one delivers on both.
“evoke sits behind some of betting and gaming’s most established brands. William Hill is woven into the fabric of the UK market, while 888 and Mr Green carry considerable recognition internationally. Bringing Gaming Corps content to names with that reach and heritage is a big moment for us.
“We have worked hard to earn opportunities of this calibre, and our focus now is on making the most of it, delivering content that connects with players and building a relationship that can become an important part of our broader ambitions.”
Lindsay Scholey, UK Gaming Content Manager at evoke said: “Gaming Corps has a clear creative identity and a portfolio that offers something different across several game formats.
