Viper City Heist brings a neon-soaked criminal caper to the reels

Play’n GO steps into the underworld of Viper City with its new slot, Viper City Heist, where cunning strategy and raw firepower lead to big rewards.
Viper City Heist throws players into a world of vault-busting gangsters and turf-war tensions. Led by the Boss, a crew of hard-bitten misfits reunites for one last job – a high-stakes hit on a rival gang’s underground vault. Every detail, from the moody neon skyline to the pulse of its synth-heavy soundtrack, immerses players in a cinematic clash of ambition and revenge.
Combining visual flair with exciting mechanics, this 5×3 slot with 20 fixed paylines offers a potent mix of instant prizes and feature-rich gameplay that stays true to Play’n GO’s signature storytelling style.
Two standout mechanics – Quick Hit and Heist Re-Spin – reflect the game’s fast-paced narrative. Quick Hit offers instant gratification by awarding visible Bonus Prize Symbols on non-winning spins, while Heist Re-Spin locks symbols in place for a shot at accumulating serious loot. The Vault Raid Free Spins take the intensity up a notch, launching with a Vault Wheel that sets both Free Spin count and Win Multiplier – with potential for 150 spins and a x10 multiplier. These features aren’t just flashy; they’re tightly woven into the game’s high-stakes theme, reinforcing Play’n GO’s commitment to seamless gameplay and compelling storytelling.
While Viper City Heist carves out its own identity, it echoes the gritty aesthetic seen in Cash Pump and the narrative depth of Mafia Gold. Fans of crime-laden slot tales will appreciate the layered characters, escalating tension, and multiple ways to take a rival’s riches. It’s a classic revenge story told through thrilling, player-first design.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, commented: “Viper City Heist captures that cinematic feel we strive for – it’s bold, stylish, and mechanically sharp. We think players will love stepping into this fast-paced, adrenaline-fuelled world.”
With daring features and atmospheric flair, Viper City Heist is set to be a steal for fans of high-impact slots.

SYNOT Games enters the Argentinian iGaming market with Betsson as a trusted partner

SYNOT Games, a leading developer of cutting-edge casino games and solutions, has officially entered the Argentinian iGaming market through a strategic partnership with Betsson, one of the most established and globally recognized operators in the industry.
This collaboration marks SYNOT Games‘ debut in Argentina and signals a significant step in the company’s ongoing expansion across Latin America. By joining forces with Betsson, SYNOT Games reinforces its commitment to working exclusively with trusted partners in regulated markets.
“Entering Argentina with a partner like Betsson is a proud moment for us,” said Martina Krajčí, Chief Commercial Officer at SYNOT Games.
“Latin America is a rapidly growing region in the iGaming space, and Argentina stands out for its dynamism and regulatory maturity. We’re excited to offer our premium portfolio to a new audience and deepen our footprint in LatAm.”
Sarah Micallef, Head of Global Gaming Operations at Betsson Group, also expressed enthusiasm: “We are pleased to welcome SYNOT Games to our portfolio in Argentina. Our focus has always been to offer our players top-tier content in every market we operate. SYNOT’s games meet our high standards for quality and entertainment, and we are confident they will resonate well with our Argentinian audience.”
Argentina’s online gambling sector has experienced significant growth in recent years, particularly following the 2021 regulatory shift that enabled provinces to license operators independently. Buenos Aires, both the city and the province, has become a focal point for major international brands, offering a regulated and competitive market environment that is ideal for industry expansion.
The deal strengthens SYNOT Games‘ positioning in Latin America, aligning with the company’s strategic roadmap of sustainable growth and responsible gaming in fully licensed jurisdictions. With an existing presence in Brazil and Colombia, this move into Argentina further consolidates SYNOT Games’ commitment to expanding across the most dynamic and regulated iGaming markets in the region.
