GGPoker & Battle Of Malta Announce $3,000,000 Main Event
Popular live poker festival to be hosted at GGPoker this November
GGPoker and Battle of Malta organizers Casino Malta by Olympic Casino today announce that they have agreed to host the 2020 iteration of the popular festival on the global-facing poker network. The series will take place from November 1 through November 22 and be headlined by a $550 Main Event, which boasts $3,000,000 in guaranteed cash prizes.
The much-anticipated festival was initially scheduled to return to Malta next month but was postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Designed for low- to mid-stakes poker players, the Battle of Malta is one of Europe’s biggest poker events and one synonymous with fun and the lighter side of the world’s favorite card game. Last year’s Battle of Malta Main Event attracted 4,657 entries and generated a €2,258,645 prize pool.
“I’m genuinely excited to announce that the Battle of Malta 2020 will be hosted at GGPoker,” said John Scanlon, Director of Live Events & Sponsorships at GGPoker. “It’s an honor to be unveiled as the organizers’ preferred online partner, and I’m confident that this year’s Battle of Malta will be bigger and better than ever!”
“It is with a heavy heart that Casino Malta had to postpone the much-awaited Battle of Malta live event, but we’re elated to partner with such a prestigious brand as GGPoker,” said Slawomir Świtalski, General Manager of Casino Malta. “We look forward to seeing everyone in Malta in 2021 for a very special Battle of Malta.”
Further details on Battle of Malta 2020, including a full schedule, will be released shortly.
New GGPoker players are eligible to claim the poker room’s Welcome Bonus, earn even more rewards with the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion and automatically join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, with regular cash prizes on offer.

Experience Classic Slot Thrills this Christmas With BGaming’s Totally Hot
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Wrap up warm this festive season with some retro-inspired slot action
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming invites you to cosy up to the fire and hit spin with the release of Totally Hot. This dynamic new title combines classic slot elements with modern gameplay mechanics.
Taking into account its December launch, BGaming dressed up the game for the season: the action is brought to life with bold visuals and festive animations, with roaring hot flames filling the background and Christmas candy canes bordering the reels. Totally Hot will revert to its original version when the holiday season is over.
It is not only the game’s visuals that have been given a modern makeover. Totally Hot deploys a pay-both-ways payment mechanic across its 5×3 game grid, giving players the chance to win with matching combinations in both directions across the reels. Wins go from left-to-right, right-to-left, and even begin in the middle of the reels.
There is also the potential for a festive treat to drop in the middle of the grid in the form of an Expanding Wild, holding players’ attention with the action on every spin.
Totally Hot keeps the good times rolling thanks to a low-volatility maths model that entertains players with frequent wins. This is complemented by an extremely attractive RTP of 97.21%.
Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “The holidays are here, and we wanted to provide our players with the bright and warm gift of nostalgia this Christmas. Totally Hot has been designed to captivate new players and seasoned classic slot lovers alike, keeping them engaged with wins coming from literally every direction.
The game’s blazing vibes and low volatility serve up plenty of laid-back fun.”

Evoplay expands Hold & Win portfolio with Young Eagle Song
Reading Time: < 1 minute
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.”
