Provider’s 1X2gaming subsidiary has created a portfolio of Instant Win and Mine Games that allow operators to capitalise on the shift towards gamification and player strategy

1X2 Network, the award-winning developer of hugely popular online casino content certified for global regulated markets, has launched a new series of Arcade Games via its 1X2gaming subsidiary.

The developer’s suite of Arcade Games takes several formats including Instant Win and Mine Games which provide a unique spin on the classic feel of 80s mine-sweeper games.

1X2gaming’s Mine Games also allow players to adjust the size of the gameboard and how many mines are present providing longer play sessions as they discover the new strategies and hone their skills in order to increase their chances of winning.

The suite of Arcade Games has been developed to help operators capitalise on the shift towards gamification and player strategy, with players now seeking titles that offer an element of control over the outcome and that allow them to improve their ability at playing the game.

1X2 Network’s portfolio of Arcade Games includes Pop ‘Til You Drop which comes with four different RTPs of 97%, 95%, 93% and 88% and with a max win payout of €250,000.

Megablox 777, a multi-mini-slot addition to the suite, with nostalgic fruit symbols and an innovative reel-lock feature.

A maximum of ten individual three-symbol mini-games appears on a given spin but if the player lands a larger set of symbols, they can replace multiple mini-games at once. The larger games are more volatile, and the different random combinations of large, medium and regular mini-games mean every spin’s volatility is different.

The arcade offering is rounded by two Mine Games, Coin Field, which will see players hunting through chests, and Coin Vault, where players plunder the bank vault as they take on the neon-themed Mine Game. Which also includes a Branded version, 1X2 Network’s first Branded Mine Game.

With this new suite of arcade games, and the release of Smoking Hot Fruits: 20 Lines on Wednesday 25^th, 1X2gaming has greatly expanded its offering to encompass a broad range of iGaming concepts.

Rory Kimber, Account Management & Marketing Director at 1X2 Network, said: “We are undoubtedly seeing a shift in player preferences towards slots with gamified elements, and possibility for player strategy, and where they can hone their skills to improve their chances of winnings prizes.”

“The suite of Arcade Games developed by the team at 1X2gaming allows operators to capitalise on this trend and provide players with fun, intuitive and highly entertaining Instant Win and Mine Games that not only meet but exceed player expectations.”

“This is a great addition to our offering and is just another example of why 1X2 Network is an award-winning and market-leading online casino content provider.”

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

ThrillTech said it has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to offer its side-bet jackpot technology to regulated online casino, sports betting, and lottery operators in Ontario.

We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.

ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.
