Evoplay the award-winning game development studio, has released Piggy Bank 3 Pots Bonanza, a vibrant and joyful slot where players can crack the safe for generous wins.

With the inclusion of the popular 3 Pots mechanic and several thrilling features, the 5×3, 20-line game offers a colourful world of gold bars, diamonds, and the three titular Piggy Banks for an action-packed adventure.

The game has four types of Bonus symbols – Green, Blue, Red, and Gold – offering different values between 1x to 350x the bet.

The Green Piggy Bank activates the Bonus Game with the xSpins Booster, awarding four starting spins instead of three and resetting the spin counter back to four each time a new Bonus symbol lands.

The Blue Piggy Bank triggers a Bonus Game featuring an xReels Booster, doubling the excitement by playing the round on two reel sets simultaneously. Any starting Bonus symbols are duplicated on the additional reels, increasing the chances of landing high-value Gold Bonus symbols.

Meanwhile, the Red Piggy Bank introduces the xFortune Booster, where Bonus symbols can randomly increase in value, with multipliers ranging from 0.5x to 10x the bet, creating explosive win potential.

The real excitement starts when all three boosters are activated simultaneously, launching a Bonus Game with a Hold and Win mechanic. Filling all 15 cells with Bonus symbols during this mode rewards the GRAND Jackpot or even the chance to double the jackpot if the Extra Reels Booster is active.

For players seeking instant access to the game’s features, the Bonus Buy allows activation of one, two, or all three Boosters, directly unlocking the full Bonus Game experience.

With its vibrant visuals, engaging mechanics, and multiple ways to win, Piggy Bank 3 Pots Bonanza offers players an exciting, dynamic slot experience where every spin could lead to big rewards.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “With Piggy Bank 3 Pots Bonanza, we wanted to create a fun and fast-paced slot experience that keeps players on the edge of their seats.

“The combination of the 3 Pots mechanic, Hold and Win and multiple Bonus symbols, provides plenty of excitement and more ways to hit big wins with every spin.”

• Record figures reinforce position of fastest-growing sports media platform

• User base boosted by acquisition of BeSoccer

• El Clásico fuelled record-breaking single-day user demand

Flashscore, the world’s leading platform for live scores and sports content has reached a major milestone, surpassing 155 million monthly active users and exceeding 400 million app downloads, with growth boosted following the acquisition of BeSoccer.

The record figures were reached in October, which also saw Flashscore and BeSoccer set a new single-day traffic high of 48.5 million users. The continued growth underlines Flashscore’s position as the leading sports media platform globally and reflects rising demand for real-time, reliable match data.

Flashscore CEO Pavel Krbec said: “All our investments in modern technology and product portfolio, as well as our daily work, are directed toward a single goal: delivering key sports information to fans around the world at the moment it matters most.

“Surpassing the 155 million monthly user milestone has shown that our vision delivers tangible results and I’m confident that in the year ahead, we will raise the bar even higher.”

Flashscore is the flagship product of Livesport, founded in 2006 by Martin Hájek and Jiří Mareš in Prague. The company that has become the global leader in real-time sports coverage has boosted its user base through new acquisitions in recent years. Notable additions include the Spanish football giant BeSoccer, Soccerway, and Tribal Football. BeSoccer alone contributed over 30 million users and strengthened Flashscore’s presence in key football markets worldwide.

BeSoccer CEO Ana Chapado said: “One year under one umbrella with Flashscore reflects both the strength of our football-focused platform and the power of joining forces with a global leader. Together, we’re building something truly special for football fans around the world.”

Globally, the majority of Flashscore users visit the platform for football results and content (more than 65%), followed by tennis (10%) and basketball (9%). Unsurprisingly, Flashscore’s largest audiences are concentrated in football’s traditional powerhouses. Countries with the highest monthly user counts regularly include Brazil, Italy, France, the UK, Poland and Germany, while Nigeria and the United States are also among regions that see a rapid growth of audience.

Single-day traffic record fuelled by El Clásico

October also saw Flashscore and BeSoccer pass a single-day traffic record, with 48.5 million users and 2.58 billion views combined on October 26, helped by El Clásico as Real Madrid beat Barcelona in La Liga. That match was the second-most popular game in Flashscore history, behind Barcelona’s Champions League semi-final second leg match against Inter in May.

Krbec said: “When the El Clásico was approaching, we saw it as an opportunity for Flashscore to shine. That’s exactly what happened – 14.7 million people followed the match on our platform, making it the second most-watched game in our history.”
