PG Soft, a leading digital mobile games developer, is marking Chinese New Year by enhancing its highly popular Fortune series with the launch of Fortune Horse.

The Fortune Horse is a 5×3 game that races quickly through a lively, neon-lit skyline influenced by bustling Asian food markets and lively street celebrations. The Wild symbol takes the form of a stylish red supercar adorned with luxurious gold decals that exude opulence.

When players observe that all symbols on the reels create a winning combination, the total will be increased by 10x. The famous Fortune Horse Feature can launch out of the stalls at any moment while the reels are spinning. When this occurs, all of the reels rotate once more to display the identical symbol.

When the Fortune Horse symbol appears completely on the reels, players are granted three Bonus Spins, unlocking opportunities for even higher winnings.

The Fortune series ranks among PG Soft’s top offerings, especially well-regarded in South America, particularly in the regulated Brazilian market.

PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Fortune Horse marks another exciting extension of our Fortune series, and we’re thrilled to bring it to players just in time for Chinese New Year. The Golden Stallion blazes a golden trail inspired by luck, speed, and unstoppable fortune. The challenge is to ride along as far as one can to top the podium in the race to wealth.”

PGA TOUR LIVE Betcast, which debuted in the 2025 season with 50 hours of coverage across six events, is now presented by DraftKings. The expanded coverage brings fans interested in betting content more of the coverage they’re looking for, complete with detailed insights and informed analysis.

Jonathan Coachman will serve as host, joined by Matt Every and Michael Collins as the show’s analysts.

Said John Suchenski, Sr. Director, Programming & Acquisitions at ESPN: “At ESPN, we want to provide fans with more access, insight and ways to connect with sports. The Betcast gives fans another option to engage with PGA TOUR LIVE and be an attraction to those who desire alternative ways to traditional feeds. We’re always discussing new and innovative approaches to golf coverage with the PGA TOUR, and these shows are the newest evolution of those efforts.”
