Having recently unveiled an updated brand identity and new-look website, global B2B and B2C technology solutions provider, Markor Technology, continued its digital evolution this month by agreeing a new partnership deal with leading verification platform, Sumsub.

A global tech company with offices in London, Berlin, Cyprus, Tel Aviv and Miami, Sumsub offers an all-in-one service that helps online businesses secure the entire user lifecycle with customisable KYC, KYB, KYT and AML solutions. As part of the partnership with Markor Technology, the group will provide enhanced verification and fraud protection, while ensuring total compliance for the company’s iGaming clients.
From a customer perspective this means a more streamlined verification process that will remove the hassles found in out-of-the-box KYC solutions. The fact that Sumsub achieves the highest conversion rates in the industry hands Markor Technology a major competitive advantage.

With the company taking just 50 seconds on average to verify a user, Sumsub uses AI-driven anti-fraud tools and in-house liveness technology to keep the onboarding process fast yet secure. This will in turn help many of Markor Technology’s clients scale into international markets with greater ease, allowing them to welcome more users worldwide while also reducing costs and steering clear of digital fraud.
The ability to offer clients the improved functionality of a best-in-class verification platform will only bolster the growing reputation of Markor Technology’s multi- vertical and multi-licensed PAM system further.

Melissa Summerfield, Chief Executive Officer at Markor Technology, said: “Markor Technology aims to offer world-class gaming services and the best customer experience through cutting-edge products.
“By partnering with Sumsub, we’re sticking to these high standards by providing fast and flexible onboarding, compliance and antifraud solutions to all of our clients throughout the iGaming industry.”

Andrew Sever, Co-founder and CEO of Sumsub, added: “Finding a trustful iGaming partner like Markor Technology is an honour for us, because we share the goal of creating a responsible iGaming environment that enables players to enjoy online gaming and gambling services both freely and safely.
“We’re making this a reality by offering end-to-end KYC, KYT, and AML solutions to effectively onboard users and keep fraudsters out, which will in turn help iGaming businesses improve their conversions rates and welcome more customers worldwide as they scale with far greater ease.”

The new 5×3, 10-payline title features Hold and Win or Free Spins selection and three jackpot tiers.

ELA Games has released Spirit of Savanna, a new online slot that introduces a player-choice bonus mechanic alongside Hold and Win, Free Spins, and three jackpot tiers.

Spirit of Savanna runs on a 5×3 reel grid with 10 paylines and is rated volatility 4 out of 5, according to the supplier. RTP is listed across two ranges: 93.98-94.16% and 96.01-96.12%.

The main differentiator is how a Wild symbol contributes to a winning combination. Instead of triggering a fixed feature, the game prompts players to choose between seven Free Spins or a Hold and Win bonus.

Both bonus paths include a Repeat Win feature that carries the value of the triggering win into each spin of the bonus round. The Free Spins feature can also retrigger using the same Wild-combination logic. The game includes three jackpot tiers, with the Grand Jackpot available either by landing two Antelopes or by filling an entire row with coins during Hold and Win.

Games Global has released Candy Combo 2 Power Combo, developed with exclusive studio partner Slingshot Studios. The new slot follows the original Candy Combo Power Combo and expands the title’s Link&Win gameplay and Power Combo mechanics.

The 5×3, 20-payline game is set in a pastel candy theme and uses five “candy jar” characters above the reels to collect matching symbols and trigger Link&Win modifiers. The Power Combo flow activates a Link&Win bonus played on a 5×4 grid, where cash coins remain in place as new symbols land.

Returning mechanics include Connector symbols with multipliers of up to 10x for completed rows, Collector symbols that gather visible cash values, and Jackpot symbols that award fixed prizes when four matching symbols are collected.

New features include Adder, which adds values to all other landed symbols, and Extender, which unlocks a second independent reel set to extend the Link&Win round. Games Global said up to five features can be active within a single Link&Win round, culminating in Super Power Combo, where all features are active at once. The game also includes Hot Mode, which adds extra feature symbols to the reels, and Upsizer, which offers an option to enhance the Link&Win feature at a cost before the bonus begins.

Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Candy Combo 2 Power Combo builds on its predecessor – one of our most successful titles – by expanding how features interact within the Link&Win format.

“The addition of new jars and the ability to combine multiple mechanics introduces more variation across each round, while staying true to the core gameplay players recognise.”

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “Slingshot Studios has done a brilliantly at evolving a well-established concept by adding depth and flexibility to its feature set.

“The result is a bright, engaging title that enhances a proven mechanic while offering players more ways to experience its core gameplay.”
