PRAGMATIC PLAY DIVES INTO NORSE CULTURE IN BOOK OF VIKINGS™

Published

on

 

Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, continues to embrace Scandinavian adventures with the announcement of its new slot title, Book of Vikings™.

Featuring comic book-style visuals and a classical instrumental soundtrack, the highly volatile slot is riddled with symbols of Norse mythology, and includes a mystery Free Spins feature where landing a special expanding symbol will boost chances of big wins.

There is also a Scatter symbol that takes the shape of a Magic Book, which only needs to appear three times in a payline to trigger the Free Spins feature.

Here, a regular symbol is randomly selected to become the expanding Mystery Symbol before the player is allowed to use their 10 free spins, and every time it appears, the Mystery symbol will expand to fill the entire reel.

A huge number of winning combinations can be created with these expanding Mystery symbols, and players who wish to bypass the base game for the Free Spins feature can do so with the Bonus Buy element where available.

Book of Vikings is the latest title to join Pragmatic Play’s extensive slot collection, following in the footsteps of recent hits Empty the Bank™, 5 Lions Megaways™ and Lucky Lightning, which reside amongst 200+ HTML5 titles in the provider’s award-winning games portfolio.

Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Our previous Norse-themed release was dominated by an all-female warrior cast, but this time we see Viking royalty grace the helm of the ship.

Book of Vikingsutilizes a gorgeous aesthetic and combines it with simplified gameplay to provide a winning experience for players of all ages and demographics.”

Pragmatic Play currently produces up to five new slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.

BOYLE Sports deploys automated acca technology as bookmakers accelerate shift to pre-configured betting

BOYLE Sports has become the latest major bookmaker to deploy automated accumulator technology, following a new two-year agreement with Checkd Dev that will see the operator roll out pre-configured, one-click acca products across football and horse racing.

The partnership sees BOYLE Sports integrate Checkd Dev’s Automated Betting System (ABS) into its sportsbook, enabling the automated creation and presentation of pre-match football and UK and Irish horse racing accumulator bets. The deployment forms part of a broader update to BOYLE Sports’ betting proposition, aimed at delivering scalable, consistent acca products while retaining full control over pricing and risk.

Through the integration, BOYLE Sports has launched two carousels containing packaged accumulator bets, generated using predefined logic and historical performance data. All pricing remains aligned with BOYLE Sports’ internal trading models, with probabilities informed by historic form rather than external odds feeds.

From an operational standpoint, ABS provides BOYLE Sports’ trading team with backend tooling to automate bet creation, updates, and settlement, significantly reducing manual intervention while supporting a consistent pre-match offering across key markets. The solution also integrates BOYLE Sports’ existing Acca Boost mechanics, available to customers from launch.

ABS is built on Checkd Dev’s proprietary BRUNO platform and has evolved over a two-year development cycle. Initially designed as a statistics-led conversion tool, the system has expanded into a fully automated betting solution in response to growing operator demand for scalable, pre-configured wagering products within regulated markets. The product is integrated with the operator’s front end and bet slip, resulting in a frictionless experience for end users.

The BOYLE Sports deployment follows a series of recent commercial agreements for Checkd Dev, including partnerships with Betfred, William Hill, and OpenBet. Collectively, these integrations reflect a wider trend among established bookmakers toward automation-led betting products designed to improve efficiency, consistency, and user experience across football betting.

Adam Matues, Head of Sportsbook at BOYLE Sports, commented: “Pre-configured accas continue to play an important role in how customers engage with football and racing, but they need to be delivered in a way that is both scalable and commercially robust. Checkd Dev’s automated approach allows us to expand our acca offering efficiently, while maintaining full control over pricing, performance, and risk.”

Andrew Grimshaw, Commercial Director at Checkd Dev, added: “We’re seeing increasing demand from tier-one and tier-two operators for automated betting products that enhance UX while remaining fully aligned with existing trading frameworks. BOYLE Sports’ decision to deploy our ABS reflects that shift, and we’re looking forward to supporting the team on both sports as the product scales over the coming seasons.”

SlotMatrix, the leading global casino content aggregator, has incorporated Muertos Fortune into its unique collection, a vibrant slot drawing inspiration from the lively energy and festivities of Day of the Dead customs.

Muertos Fortune welcomes players to a vibrant realm filled with music and color, where each spin leads to grander moments and more exciting rewards.

The Money Collector function centers on the Muertos symbol that shows up on reel five, serving as the chief collector by retrieving cash values from piñata prizes positioned throughout the reels to enhance winnings and enable extra rewards.

A significant feature of the gameplay is its Perceived Persistence mechanic, enabling piñata rewards that fall uncollected to fill the giant skull above the reels.

As the skull fills up, it explodes, activating the Free Spins feature filled with Muertos’ collections, greater piñata values, and opportunities for several retriggers, transforming growing excitement into massive payout possibilities.

Muertos Fortune can only be accessed via SlotMatrix and is upgraded by EveryMatrix’s sophisticated gamification features, such as free spins, tournaments, and leaderboards. It can additionally be combined with EngageSuite, the all-in-one player loyalty solution.

Carl Gatt Baldacchino, Head of Account Management, SlotMatrix, said: “Muertos Fortune is all about the renowned Mexican tradition. It’s a vibrant, high-energy title that fits perfectly in our growing portfolio.”
