1X2 Network bolsters its branded content offering with customisable mine game from its 1X2gaming studio subsidiary with William Hill first to go live

1X2 Network, and its innovative studio subsidiary 1X2gaming, have rolled out another game in its Branded series with Branded Coin Vault^TM with the first game set to go live with tier one operator, William Hill, and complementing 1X2 Network’s Branded offering of Branded Megaways^TM from Iron Dog Studio.

Branded Coin Vault has been designed and developed by the team at 1X2gaming and is based on one of its new Arcade Games, Coin Vault, which sees players enter the bank vault as they take on the neon-themed mine game.

1X2gaming’s mine games allow players to adjust both the size of the game board and how many mines are present, providing for longer play sessions as players discover new strategies and better their skills to improve their chances of winning.

Branded Coin Vault allows operators to customise the game’s logo, background and the animation colours on the game board according to their branding. This enables operators to leverage the power of unique, branded content to drive player loyalty, and cut through the thematic saturation of the slots market.

The game comes with a choice of four RTPs – 97%, 95%, 93% and 88% – with a minimum bet of €0.20 and a maximum bet of €100. The maximum win potential is €250,000.

Branded Coin Vault and 1X2 Network’s suite of arcade games have been developed to help operators capitalise on the shift towards gamification and player strategy, with players seeking titles that offer an element of control over the outcome and that allow them to improve their skills.

Rory Kimber, Account Management and Marketing Director at 1X2 Network, said: “Branded Megaways^TM took the industry by storm, and we expect Branded Coin Vault to make a similar impact as operators look to add content to their lobbies that rises to changing player preferences.

“Mine games provide the gamification and skill-up elements that players are demanding, making these offerings customisable with operators’ brands makes them an absolute must-have for those looking to drive brand awareness, take engagement to new highs and ultimately boost loyalty.

“We are thrilled to be launching our first Branded Coin Vault game with William Hill and look forward to working with more operators to help them exceed player expectations through our games.”

Play’n GO unveils Banana Rush, a character-first slot where a banana-fixated Gorilla rallies his misfit crew in a lush, bouncy rainforest.

Banana Rush sets a playful pace from the off. The bamboo-framed reels host our Gorilla and his merry band – a smirking monkey, a wise blue parrot, a toothy gator and a day-dreaming hippo – with baskets bulging with fruit dotted around the canopy. It’s a bright, cartoon-rich world that builds momentum as the team hustles to stack those golden snacks. Players who enjoy light-hearted, character-driven slots will feel right at home here.

Beneath the humour sits a clear, pick-up-and-play structure designed for easy entry and steady rhythm. Banana Rush is a 5×3 video slot with 10 fixed paylines that pay left to right – simple to understand, quick to follow, and ideal for anyone who prefers action led by theme and characters rather than complexity.

Narratively, Banana Rush is all about cause-and-effect chaos. Bananas tumble in, the Gorilla swoops to scoop them up, and the jungle perks up as the crew joins the forage. The more fruit they corral, the livelier the scene becomes – a neat comedic loop that mirrors the game’s pace without needing heavy jargon. It’s playful, it’s snack-obsessed, and it never loses sight of the cast’s personality.

Fans of Play’n GO’s brighter animal-led comedies will recognise the studio’s knack for expressive frames, crisp UI and family-friendly humour. Banana Rush leans into that signature style, offering a colourful escape where the goal is simple: keep the fruit flowing and enjoy the Gorilla’s antics with his jungle pals.

Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “Banana Rush is our love letter to character-driven fun – a feel-good slice of jungle slapstick where a banana-hungry Gorilla steals the show while the whole crew cheers him on.”

Banana Rush is here – a bright, breezy crowd-pleaser for players who like their slots brimming with personality and colour.

Fast Track, a leading SaaS technology company, has been certified by Great Place to Work® for the fourth consecutive year, achieving an exceptional 91% Trust Index score based on feedback from all employees participating in this year’s Great Place to Work Survey. This remarkable result places Fast Track among the world’s best employers and reflects the company’s unwavering commitment to maintaining a high-trust workplace.

“Fast Track is fundamentally a culture-centric business, and our employees remain the driving force behind everything we achieve,” said Simon Lidzén, Co-Founder and CEO of Fast Track. “Reaching a 91% Trust Index while navigating another year of rapid growth demonstrates our dedication to fostering an exceptional and resilient organisational culture. Achieving this certification for the fourth year running reaffirms my belief in developing leaders from within and empowering our teams to thrive in an environment built on trust, transparency, and continuous growth.”

The 91% Trust Index represents a significant milestone, placing Fast Track among the top tier of certified workplaces globally. Research by Great Place to Work® shows that sustaining high employee trust during periods of rapid expansion is exceptionally rare, as growing organisations often face challenges maintaining a consistent culture as they scale.

“Our fourth Great Place to Work certification reflects our relentless dedication to being a world-class employer that attracts and retains exceptional talent, but also our belief that trust is what enables us to move fast and succeed,” said Jenny Arnell, Chief People Officer at Fast Track. **

“High-trust workplaces are more productive, energised and resilient – they experience less stress, fewer sick days, and lower burnout. In a highly agile environment like ours, where uncertainty is constant, trust becomes the foundation that allows people to take ownership, collaborate with confidence, and adapt quickly. As we continue to scale the company and its culture, our focus will be on deepening alignment across the team around how we work, who does the work, when and where it’s done, and how it’s valued. Maintaining this level of trust is what will keep us moving forward together.”

This achievement stands out not only for Fast Track’s continued growth across its offices in Malta, Spain and Sweden, but for the company’s ability to sustain a culture where trust, collaboration, and accountability remain as strong as ever, proving that scaling and staying people-centred can go hand in hand.

“Earning Great Place to Work certification for the fourth consecutive year, especially with a 91% Trust Index during such significant growth, truly sets Fast Track apart in the technology sector,” said Linda Löfman, Senior Consultant at Great Place to Work®*. “This level of employee trust and satisfaction during expansion demonstrates exceptional leadership and a genuine commitment to workplace culture. Fast Track’s consistent focus on fairness, transparency, and developing talent from within continues to make them a standout employer in the industry.”*

The Great Place to Work® certification is based entirely on employee feedback, making it one of the most credible workplace recognitions globally. Fast Track’s sustained performance across four years — culminating in this record-breaking Trust Index — reinforces its position as an employer of choice in the global technology industry.

As Fast Track continues to grow, the company remains deeply committed to nurturing its world-class culture while expanding its innovative SaaS solutions to new markets.
