Habanero has launched Raiden Shogun, a Japanese-themed 5×5 slot built around a samurai-triggered Wild mechanic and a stacked multiplier system.

The game runs on 259 Connected Ways across a 5×5 grid. Habanero said the samurai can trigger at random, cutting through bamboo on reels 1, 3 and 5 to reveal stacked Wilds.

A free spins feature is triggered by scatters, with three, four or five scatters awarding 8, 18 or 38 free spins respectively. During free spins, the bamboo reveals multipliers that continue to stack “without resetting,” according to the supplier.

Raiden Shogun also supports Habanero’s Jackpot Race and Buy Feature. Toni Karapetrov, Head of Corporate Communications at Habanero, said: “Raiden Shogun is a game built around a clear mechanical identity. The samurai Wild reveal is visually impressive and immediately communicates what the game is about while the non-resetting multiplier system gives the free spins genuine weight.

“We continue to focus on creating games that balance distinctive design with top performance, and this is a title that we’re confident will connect well with both players and operators.”

Blueprint Gaming revisits its famed lakeside setting in Fishin’ Frenzy Lure ‘Em In, where unique tackle boxes lead to rewarding features in bonus rounds, alongside the opportunity to secure a maximum win of 10,000x.

With launches from the acclaimed franchise regularly topping the UK studio’s best performers, the newest installment is poised to enhance the impressive momentum, providing operators’ lobbies with an engaging, feature-packed enhancement.

At the center of the activity are three colored tackle boxes that gather corresponding blue, red, and green scatters when they appear during a spin. Guaranteed entry to the bonus game occurs if three bonus scatter symbols appear with at least one modifier in effect.

Activating the bonus game through the blue tackle box will enable the Cast and Catch modifier. In the round, the appearance of wilds will ensure a respin, with wilds and prize symbols staying in position while the other symbols are respun.

When the Golden Catch modifier is triggered through the red tackle box, unique golden wild symbols appear on the reels, collecting all visible cash prize symbols and enhancing the overall win with a multiplier of as much as 5x.

The Take the Bait upgrade, activated by the green tackle box, introduces unique cash prize symbols to the reels, depicted by a can of worms. When a can of worms icon appears, all visible cash prize amounts are gathered by any fisherman symbol.

In a significant increase to winning possibilities, as many as three Lure ‘Em In upgrades can operate simultaneously during the bonus round, with two active tackle boxes ensuring super free games, and three leading to the mega free game, where the opportunity to achieve the 10,000x maximum prize becomes available.

Immersive trails have become a staple in Blueprint bonus games, and the studio has continued this popular trend with its latest release. Every four fisherman symbols that are collected during the feature will award five additional free spins, with the standard cash prize value in place increased to a maximum of 50x.

For those with an eye on a particular catch to remember, the Express Bet can be triggered at any time during gameplay for 0.5x the base stake, doubling the chances of triggering the bonus game.

Following hot on the heels of Game of Thrones, Fishin’ Frenzy Lure ‘Em In reinforces Blueprint’s ability to cleverly craft fresh-themed, bountiful titles for players to enjoy worldwide.

Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing, PR and Events, said: “Fishin’ Frenzy remains one of our most iconic and best-performing franchises, and with Lure ‘Em In, we have introduced exciting new mechanics to elevate the experience even further. The addition of dynamic tackle box modifiers and the ability to combine multiple enhancements brings greater variety and anticipation to the bonus.

“We are confident this latest instalment will resonate strongly with operators and players, continuing the franchise’s legacy as a standout performer.”
