WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT: WILD MULTIPLIERS, WILD REELS AND AN EXPANSION TO THE VIP LIVE CASINO OFFERING
Welcome to the first Pragmatic Play Weekly Spotlight, which takes a look at what’s been released in the past week. Bigger is better with last week’s launches, from the growing wild reels in Piggy Bankers™ to an expansion of our VIP Blackjack tables and magnificent multipliers in our Titan-sized release Forge of Olympus™.
Piggy Bankers™
Get ready for Pig Wins in our porcine new hit. Landing a stack of Wilds in this sequel will award a walking Wild reel that collects instant cash prizes situated at the top of the game board. This Wild reel can also award the free spins round where every spin with a Wild reel provides a respin and the chance to collect more prizes.
Forge Of Olympus™
Tumbling wins underpin this Titan-sized release. Pay anywhere mechanics require eight or more matched symbols to award a win and trigger a tumble of new symbols to fall onto the gameboard. Multipliers containing up to 100x boost winning potential, in the bonus every hammer multiplier gathered increases the value of all subsequent multipliers.
Speed Blackjack
With the addition of seven new luxurious Emerald Tables, there are even more seats and an even wider variety of betting limits available to Speed Blackjack players. Keeping to the traditional rules of Blackjack, the faster gameplay on offer in this popular variant brings new opportunities for more experienced players. The addition of auto-decisions, deal now, honest decisions and simultaneous decisions allow players to enjoy the familiar gameplay at much higher speeds.
Turkish-language Blackjack Tables
Operators can now take advantage of an expanded Live Casino Blackjack offering catering to Turkish-speaking players. VIP Blackjack, Speed Blackjack and the classic Blackjack game now feature localised table elements and are presented in stunning 4k by our best-in class native-speaking dealers. One of the top 20 most spoken languages in the world, players can now enjoy the classic gameplay offered by Blackjack in an additional language.
VIP Blackjack Tables
Four new VIP Blackjack tables have been launched, combining standout features from our live studio with a deluxe feel. The VIP tables can host three unique players at the same time, giving an intimate, exclusive experience, while extended betting and decision times offer a comforting atmosphere for unforgettable live gameplay.
