Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Scratch Match Deluxe, a high-volatility instant game that brings a fresh twist to a fan-favourite scratchcard format.

Bringing a classic scratchcard experience into the digital age, Scratch Match Deluxe invites users to reveal winning numbers across ten or twenty scratchable cells.

Every ticket brings the familiar thrill of matching numbers with a flexible setup that lets players set their preferred bet per cell and scratch at their own pace or uncover all at once.

The real heat lies in the Lucky 777 Bonus, where revealing a 7, 77 or 777 anywhere on the grid awards multipliers of x2, x25, or x100, applied directly to the round’s biggest win. With a top multiplier of up to x30,000, this feature unlocks a rush of adrenaline that scratch fans would not want to miss.

Sleek visuals, mobile-first design, and an ultra-accessible interface make Scratch Match Deluxe a standout title in any instant game portfolio, offering operators a proven mechanic with next-level payout potential.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Scratch Match Deluxe builds on the proven appeal of instant games with a polished interface and a thrilling twist.

“The Lucky 777 bonus adds real excitement, giving players a reason to keep coming back while providing operators with a high-engagement title that delivers fast-paced entertainment.”

Blueprint Gaming™ takes one of its strongest internationally performing series to new heights in Cash Strike Hotstepper 2, with Super Strike and mystery symbols among the new additions designed to elevate the gameplay experience on offer.

With various iterations from the Cash Strike family consistently ranking in the supplier’s top 10 revenue-generating markets, the new release builds on the impressive momentum from its predecessor, with Cash Strike Hotstepper remaining the top Cash Strike release since its launch in June 2024.

Turning attention to its successor, landing the newly introduced Super Strike symbol on the centre reel sees two additional Cash Strike symbols also added to the centre reel, enhancing players’ chances of securing cash and jackpot wins on the refined 3×3 fruit-themed reelset.

In the same vein, mystery symbols also mark their entrance to the Cash Strike series. Landing on reels one and/or three along with the Cash Strike symbol will trigger the new feature, which randomly awards one of the four fixed jackpots in play, reaching as high as 10,000x.

The return of the showstopping Hotstepper complements the two new features, triggered when the Cash Collect symbol lands on reel two. Once activated, the collect symbol moves down one position each round, again enhancing the chance of success on reels one and three.

For slot enthusiasts on the hunt for further flames, Blueprint’s first September release also welcomes back Power Play. Available at 5 times the original bet, only Bonus symbols are in play, as well as Power Reels, which offer the chance of duplicate multipliers or cash prizes during Bonus play.

Cash Strike Hotstepper 2 showcases Blueprint Gaming’s commitment to enhancing its top-performing game series with captivating new features for operators’ players to enjoy across international markets.

Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing, PR and Events, said: “The Cash Strike series continues to stand out globally, so it was important to hold on to the elements that players love, complemented by intriguing additions.
