Founded by Danny Lopez, who has a decade of experience delivering video content and creative strategy for world-renowned brands, Story Mode will focus on making authentic, engaging and entertaining content to elevate brand identities, and is already boasting clientele such as Bukayo Saka and Jesse Lingard.

Utilising Lopez’s expertise in the creative and content space, Story Mode will elevate brands, pro players, athletes, musicians and content creators from across the world with a high level of quality content, while also enabling brands to genuinely and regularly connect with elusive youth audiences. Story Mode will focus on five key pillars: Content, Creative, Social Media, Events and Consulting, to create an all-encompassing brand package to ensure their clients stand out. Campaigns will offer multiple touch points needed to grow audiences with key fans through social media to wider brand exposure through live activations.

With a decade of experience creating and producing esports, gaming and youth culture entertainment content, Danny Lopez specialises in brand management, strategy, creative, merchandise, social media and content. Beginning his esports career at esports organisation Fnatic as Creative Director in 2015, Danny continued to explore the world of creativity in esports working with publishers and tournament organisers including Riot Games and FACEIT, before heading to North America to work with Immortals and NYXL on the Blizzard Overwatch League. Danny was responsible for generating the brand identity for the David Beckham co-owned sports organisation Guild Esports, which led to him being nominated for Esports Creative of the Year at the 2021 Esports Awards.

More recently as Director of Marketing and Content at Tundra Esports, Lopez oversaw all marketing verticals including social media, content creators and ambassadors, and brand partnership activations. He also produced and directed the Platinum Viddy award-winning music video for Outplayed – the world’s first grime gaming anthem by P Money, featuring international footballer Virgil van Dijk, as well as producing all video content for Tundra’s DOTA 2, Fortnite and Rocket League rosters.

Managing Director of Story Mode, Danny Lopez commented: “We saw a huge gap in the EU market for creative that truly spoke the language of youth culture. At Tundra, we received so many inquiries from brands and personalities asking how we pulled off our own content, we decided to fill the void and build a business around it. Authentic storytelling is something that can be difficult to navigate, but we believe we’ve mastered it at Story Mode.”

Executive Chairman Carleton Curtis also commented: “With the emergence of youth-native platforms such as TikTok, it’s more important than ever to speak authentically and connect with communities in ways that delight and inspire. Story Mode has already established itself as a pioneer in the esports space and will continue bridging the gap between gaming, culture and entertainment. Story Mode will also help individual personalities build their own brands online, and we believe our products will be something others will imitate, but never replicate.”

Reflex Gaming unearths epic win potential in Anubis II DoubleMax™

Reflex Gaming, the omni-channel gaming supplier are back in the sands of Egypt with Anubis II DoubleMax™, an exhilarating sequel to the hit title Secret of Anubis Doublemax, developed in partnership with Yggdrasil. 
Set against the majestic backdrop of ancient tombs and golden treasures, Anubis II DoubleMax™ invites players to take on a thrilling 5×3 reel journey where wins pay both ways – from left to right and right to left – giving double the chances to land a prize. Line up 3 or more symbols in either direction, and 5-of-a-kind combos pay both ways for even bigger returns.
But the true power of the gods lies in the Anubis Shuffle Feature – a high-energy, randomly triggered bonus that activates after a losing spin. The reels magically reshuffle into a guaranteed win, and the feature keeps going as long as new wins are created. If the reshuffle results in a loss, the feature ends – but not before giving players a serious shot at big rewards.
The Anubis Shuffle is supercharged by a progressive win multiplier trail that starts at x1 and increases exponentially with each step: x2, x4, x8, all the way up to a jaw-dropping x4096. Every shuffle and win bumps the multiplier up a notch, applying it to all wins during the feature. To make things even more exciting, up to six Wild or Super Wilds are randomly assigned to positions along the trail at the start of the feature. Reach one of those marked positions, and the corresponding Wild is added to the reels, giving players even more chances to boost their wins.
Mat Ingram, Chief Product Officer at Reflex Gaming, said: “Anubis II DoubleMax™ was a conscious departure from the original. We wanted to create something different — a game that focused on intensity, simplicity, and the thrill of the core mechanics. By stripping back some of the traditional bonus features, we’ve let the Anubis Shuffle and DoubleMax multiplier take centre stage. The result is a fast-paced, high-volatility slot that keeps players on the edge of their seats with every spin.”

Technological Breakthrough in the iGaming Industry: Zeus Run Breaks the Boundaries of Classic Slots

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

DreamPlay has shattered stereotypes about online gaming. With its latest project, Zeus Run, the leading European game studio has introduced a fundamentally new gaming concept, adding interactivity and dynamism through the “Running Wilds” mechanic. A unique mythological lore, the ability to multiply winnings by 100 times, and an unconventional user experience—players can now explore this new gaming universe exclusively on the WinSpirit online casino platform.

The Game World

Zeus Run is a unique gambling adventure available on all operating systems, including iOS and Android. Upon launching the game, players are transported into a thrilling mythological world, becoming part of an ancient legend. Their companion on this journey? None other than Zeus, the mighty god of thunder.

The game features immersive 3D graphics with animated elements, inspired by classical aesthetics. The primary color palette includes signature shades of purple combined with gold accents, creating an atmosphere of mystery and grandeur. The sound design and music, crafted by Eurovision finalists, enhance the dynamic and immersive experience.

Mechanics: A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation

At first glance, Zeus Run appears to follow the familiar 3×5 slot concept, with spinning reels, winning combinations, and jackpot accumulation. However, thanks to the unique “Lightning” symbol, players can boost their winnings depending on their bets.

But the real excitement begins when three or more Zeus symbols land on the reels. At this moment, players face a choice—instantly claim their accumulated jackpot or challenge the gods in the thrilling “Runner” mini-game. If they choose the latter, they take control of Zeus himself, guiding him through five stages while collecting coins to increase the multiplier.

The “Running Wilds” mechanic transforms players into a moving wild symbol, actively traveling across the game field and multiplying their winnings.

Unlike classic slots, Zeus Run doesn’t rely solely on luck. The mini-game gives players more control over their results. The coin-collection system allows them to develop their own strategies, and skilled players can increase their winnings by up to 100 times.

In Zeus Run, players can also collect Dream Coin—an in-game currency that can be used in other DreamPlay titles or even bought and sold on exchanges.

Future Plans

While Zeus Run is already a breakthrough in the iGaming industry, DreamPlay’s development team isn’t stopping there. Future updates will expand game themes to create personalized gaming experiences for different audiences, as well as introduce new mechanics and quests. Additionally, players will soon be able to participate in tournaments and leaderboards.

“Zeus Run is part of a larger gaming universe we are building. We have set a high technological bar for ourselves, aiming to bring fresh innovations to the gaming world and deliver a unique experience. Our team always strives to think beyond conventional limits—even in areas where innovation seems impossible. Zeus Run is yet another proof that anything is possible,” — says Alex Tkach, CEO of DreamPlay.

Zeus Run meets international gambling standards and adheres to responsible gaming principles—players have access to limit settings, and the game provides risk awareness information. DreamPlay’s development has been certified by independent testers eCOGRA, iTech Labs, and GLI, and has already secured exclusive agreements with select casinos.
