The latest edition is aimed at bringing the ultimate cricket experience for the fans at their fingertips. To bring the feel of the actual cricket stadium, international commentators Aakash Chopra and Matthew Hayden have lent their voices to the game.

Keeping the fans in mind the game has been polished with motion capture sequences, better controls, dynamic difficulty mode, a comprehensive career mode, women’s cricket and much more. The features were carefully curated after feedback from the fans during a 3-phase beta testing which saw over 4 million players taking part in it for 49 minutes daily on an average.

Continuing its dominance over the mobile cricket gaming space, the franchise boasts of 143 million downloads and with the latest version adding to the hype. WCC 3 has realistic graphics and an array of new features for cricket enthusiasts.

Says P.R. Rajendran Nextwave Multimedia Pvt. Ltd., Co-founder and CEO, “We are delighted to launch the much awaited third edition of the game. We got a good response from the fans during the beta phase and we have made sure everything was on point before the launch. The franchise has been successful and we are sure that the third edition with all its features will continue to attract fans as we work on bringing fresh features in the future.”

To add the dash of extra realism, the game has been infused with simulation of actual cricket, updated gameplay features like brand new controls, animations, real-time motions of athletes and professional cricketers, advanced artificial, women’s cricket, a comprehensive career mode with over 400 tournaments, international leagues and much more.

Alongside, the League of Champs is a player bracketing system and dynamically scalable leaderboard in the game that slots players in a way that ensures higher degree of fairness. As players rank up by League Score, they gain higher rewards in a competitive system that manages millions of players. WCC3 uses artificial intelligence (AI) to track a player’s skills and dynamically adjusts difficulty for the player, creating a state of ‘flow’ that ensures players are always adequately challenged while not feeling overpowered. The AI balances aggression with safety based on the targets it needs to hit or chase. It smartly finds gaps in the field, and while bowling as well, it adapts field setups and customizes its deliveries to the user’s batting patterns.

The latest features which come into the game along with the launch are:

Women’s Cricket

As a tribute to the changing face of women’s cricket, WCC3 will feature women’s cricket. This is a new era for women in sports, and breaking all the taboos the emerging popularity of women’s cricket is all set to stir the mobile cricket market.

Player Name Presets

One of the best things about WCC3 is the ability to experience the pure thrills of cricket without stepping onto a pitch or into a stadium! Now users can simulate country teams with regional name flavours for all their favourite teams. No more tedious editing is needed every time you want to play as Australia instead of India. With Name Presets you’ll get access to regional squads that are mapped to your own in terms of performance and abilities. Have a few favourites in mind? Naturally you can also further customize these as you wish.

Hot Events

Much as we’d love to influence the outcomes of real matches, for most of us it’s restricted to watching and cheering on your favourite side. Not anymore. Hot Events are an exciting game mode, a live op that accurately simulates a match that has just concluded. Think you can make better decisions than the losing skipper? Now you can. Replay the events of the match and take your chosen side to victory!

World Tour

With all the lockdowns and travel restrictions, it’s hard to stay connected with the real world in a physical way. But through cricket you can. WCC3’s world tour puts you on a whirlwind path to glory by having you face off against the toughest cricketing countries on a play tour where you call the shots. Victors are rewarded with legendary kits and other goodies to further bolster their team strengths for the next outing.

Ashes to Ashes Series

Our take on an iconic series has made its way to WCC3. A true test of mettle for the cricket fan, play as your favourite side and battle it out in a time-honoured cricketing hallmark that has retained its popularity since inception. Victory here also comes with its own sweet rewards.

The game also features special features like international leagues, career mode and more which aims at giving the players a wholesome cricket experience, all in one title.

Play’n GO unveils Midnight Gold, a spiritual successor to the 2023 blockbuster title Highway Legends. 

This thrilling 5×3 online slot offers 20 fixed paylines, stunning visuals, and an array of innovative features to keep players on the edge of their seats.

Narratively, players join a ragtag unit of daring rogues as they leave the daylight behind for a moonlit heist of epic proportions. Racing through shadowy highways and unforgiving terrains, their quest for gleaming treasures is fraught with challenges and perilous challenges…

With the Deliver Feature, Treasure Chests and Cash Bag symbols bring multipliers ranging from x2 up to an impressive x250. Free Spins provide players with a choice between Stacked Wilds, which span three positions, or Roaming Wilds, which hold over and move to random positions for even more potential wins.

Building on its legacy of innovative gameplay, Midnight Gold introduces Mystery Instant Wins, where Scatters can randomly reveal multipliers of up to x20, adding excitement to every spin. The high stakes peak with Super Free Spins, triggered by landing a special gold Scatter symbol. Every spin in this mode guarantees a Wild Multiplier, enhancing the chance for legendary rewards.

The game’s dark tones and gleaming accents create a captivating contrast, immersing players in a sleek and sophisticated heist experience. Fans of Play’n GO’s adventure-packed slots such as the aforementioned Highway Legends and Undefeated Xerxes will feel right at home with Midnight Gold. Like Highway Legends, which charmed players with its thrilling heist narrative and fast-paced gameplay – Midnight Gold takes the action to new heights with its nocturnal setting and refined features.

Meanwhile, the bold ambition and reward potential of Undefeated Xerxes find a fitting counterpart in the high-octane historical drama of Midnight Gold. With its blend of engaging storytelling and innovative mechanics, this title continues Play’n GO’s tradition of delivering unforgettable gaming experiences.

Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “Midnight Gold brings the period drama action to life, combining engaging features with striking visuals. From the Deliver Feature to the Guaranteed Multipliers in Super Free Spins, this game is all about rewarding gameplay and building on top of the foundations that make our historical slots so great.”

With its engaging mechanics and polished design: Midnight Gold is set to shine as another one of Play’n GO’s classic titles.

Booming Games shine with new 64 Gold Coins Hold & Win

Reading Time: < 1 minute

New Year, new… game! As we welcome in 2025, we also welcome a brand new slot from Booming Games – the super 64 Gold Coins Hold & Win.

This shiny new arrival boasts all the hallmarks of a classic. A 5×5, 30-payline slot with the famous casino symbols you’ve grown to love – lemons, cherries, lucky 7s and more. But this Hold & Win comes with a tantalising twist.

While many Hold & Win games require six coins in the base game to trigger the feature, you can do it here with just five. That launches the Coin Blitz Hold and Win, where every coin resets the spin counter, increasing your chance of landing a Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Jackpot. And that biggest pot can give you up to 1,000x your stake.

That’s not the only way to win, of course. Discover a Coin Blitz symbol and the coin will spin, revealing either the Boost (randomly increasing coin values) or the Grid Expand – which turns the 5×5 into an 8×8.

You can do the math from there. Your task is to fill that grid with 64 coins and unearth a wild win of 10,000x your original bet.

As with all of the provider’s titles, 64 Gold Coins Hold & Win has been certified for launch in core regulated markets including the UK, Sweden and all Malta jurisdictions.

Nemanja Živić, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Forget your resolutions, 64 Gold Coins Hold & Win is a New Year’s revelation! We love shiny new things and this ticks every single box. A classic casino feel with fresh, fun features – and the chance to win up to 10,000x your bet. Booming Games have delivered a sure-fire favourite to start the New Year in style.”
