Games Global and Nailed It! Games launch Raging Gods: Olympus 2 POWER COMBO
Greek mythology slot sequel adds new modifiers and keeps a 5,000x maximum win
Games Global, working with exclusive studio partner Nailed It! Games, has released Raging Gods: Olympus 2 POWER COMBO
, a Greek mythology-themed slot sequel. The title uses a 5×3 reel layout with 20 paylines and features a maximum win potential of 5,000x, according to the companies.
The game builds on the original with an expanded POWER COMBO
bonus game and new feature modifiers. Games Global said the new additions include Prize Double, which multiplies all Prize Symbol values on the board by 2x, and the Power Symbol, which upgrades individual prize values as spins continue.
The POWER COMBO
bonus game can be unlocked by any bonus symbol, with all symbols that land on the feature-activating spin awarding their respective modifiers. Returning mechanics include Prize Booster (increasing Prize Symbol values by up to 5x), Extra Collect (gathering all visible cash values without removing symbols), and Instant Jackpot (awarding one of four fixed jackpots).
A SUPER collection can also open access to the POWER COMBO
feature, activating two or more mechanics at the same time once completed. During the feature, Jackpot Gem Symbols contribute towards four fixed jackpots — Mini at 10x, Minor at 20x, Major at 200x and Mega at 5,000x — with multiple jackpots available within a single round.
Paweł Piotrowski, Co-Founder at Nailed It! Games, said: “Raging Gods: Olympus 2 POWER COMBO
builds on the original by giving the POWER COMBO
bonus game more flexibility.
“Adding Prize Double and Power Symbol allowed us to expand how features combine, which brings more variation to each round.”
David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “With Raging Gods: Olympus 2 POWER COMBO
, Nailed It! Games have taken a well-performing concept and pushed it further – adding depth, energy, and new ways for players to engage.
“It’s a clear step up for the series and reinforces the strength of this theme within the Games Global portfolio.”

Microgaming rolls out Link & Merge mechanic with three-slot launch on 29 April
Microgaming is launching a new slot mechanic, Link & Merge, on 29 April via the simultaneous release of three titles: Almighty Zeus Wilds Link&Merge, Lucky Twins Wilds Link&Merge and 123 Soccer Link&Merge.
The Link&Merge feature is positioned as a variation on Hold & Spin-style gameplay. When five or more adjacent Coin symbols land, they link and merge into a single higher-value symbol. The merge then triggers one of three bonus outcomes: Jackpot, Multiply or Spread, with the potential for additional Coin symbols to land and create further merges.
Microgaming is pairing the mechanic with three themes at launch: Almighty Zeus Wilds Link&Merge, Lucky Twins Wilds Link&Merge and 123 Soccer Link&Merge. The supplier said each title uses the Link&Merge bonus within a shared core framework that includes cluster wins, Wild Meter progression, Free Spins and Multiplier Trail functionality.
A Microgaming spokesperson said: “Link&Merge gives us a mechanic with real forward momentum. Each merge has the potential to change the shape of the feature, open up new opportunities and keep the round moving in a way that feels both familiar and fresh. By launching three games around it simultaneously, we are able to give the mechanic a much bigger stage from day one and show the range it can bring to the Microgaming portfolio.”
