GiG extend compliance partnership with Merkur

Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG) have today announced an extension to its agreement with German based operator Merkur, for its automated affiliate marketing compliance tool GiG Comply.
The igaming industry in Germany is a robustly regulated marketplace, with strict guidelines that make compliance a priority for operators like Merkur, placing an emphasis on the need to protect their brand. Merkur is the leading brand of the Gauselmann Group, a tier one operator that provides a suite of gaming products including classic and virtual slot games, money gaming machines, arcades, casinos, gambling houses and sports betting.
GiG Comply is an automated marketing compliance solution that scans web pages for content including links, iGaming code red words and regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions. It works by using its rules engine to analyse real snapshots from affiliates’ campaigns and provides operators with the promotional content that is being used in their brands’ promotions.
It is a flexible tool, which allows operators to set-up their own criteria and checklist parameters and can be tailored to cover any market-specific requirements, helping to ensure that operators remain compliant.
GiG’s market-leading iGaming affiliate business, GiG Media, is one of the leading global affiliate marketing operators in the iGaming space, helping partners generate qualified traffic through multiple channels, including SEM/PPC and social media. The group has enjoyed significant growth over the last few years, highlighted by the recent announcement of a strategic partnership with News Corp in the UK and Ireland, a group which serves millions of online readers through its premium media websites The Sun and talkSPORT, and have completed the integration of AskGamblers, following a series of acquisitions from Catena Media late last year.
Jonas Warrer, Chief Marketing Officer at GiG, said: “Compliance is proving to be a hot topic of conversation, not just in Germany but globally, as we start to see the maturing of regulation. The need for operators to protect their brand is at a critical stage in the evolution of the industry, and we’re delighted to be trusted by so many big players to look after such a pivotal function.”
Martin Collins, Affiliate Lead at Merkur, said: “Compliance is a key factor across many markets now, particularly in Germany. We are pleased to continue growing our business with the trusted help of GIG who bring to the table a wealth of knowledge making this partnership easy and enjoyable. Protection of our brands is of the highest importance and this tool really helps us focus on what is needed to move forward.”

Evoplay releases explosive gameplay in Lava Burst

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has launched Lava Burst, a high-volatility slot packed with exciting features to boost player engagement.
Played on a 4×3 grid, the game’s core mechanics are the Bonus Game and Ultra Bonus Game. Both begin with three spins, and each new symbol that lands reset the counter. The round continues until all 12 positions are filled or no spins remain.
The Ultra Bonus Game guarantees activation of the Lava Burst feature, where one to twelve fire comets strike random cells on the reels. Each strike applies an x2 multiplier, which increases if the same position is hit more than once.
Supporting features include Mystic Symbols, which transform into another icon at the end of the Bonus or Ultra Bonus Game, and the Mystic Jackpot Symbol, which guarantees a Mini (25x), Minor (50x), or Major (100x) jackpot. The Grand jackpot (x1000) is awarded by collecting all 12 bonus symbols of any type.
The Black Hole collects the value of all previously landed Bonus symbols and jackpots, increasing the overall win potential.
All Coin symbols carry bet multipliers – Bonus Coins appear with values from x1 to x4, while Heavy Coins land only in the base game with higher values of x5 to x9. Heavy Coins remain locked on the reels until the Bonus or Ultra Bonus Game begins, unless the bet is changed. The Bonus Game is triggered by landing four symbols on the central line, initiating a round with three spins. Each new Bonus symbol resets the spin count, and winnings are awarded only in the Bonus or Ultra Bonus Game, where all landed Bonus symbol values are totalled at the end.
Lava Burst combines high-impact visuals with layered bonus features, offering operators a strong addition to their slot portfolios.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Lava Burst offers something fresh, with mechanics that keep players invested throughout the session.
“From the escalating multipliers to the strategic bonus features, we’ve created a slot that’s built for performance and player appeal.”

Relax Gaming plots the ultimate heist in latest release Cash in Transit

Relax Gaming, the iGaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, is pulling off the ultimate heist for cash in its heart-racing new release Cash in Transit.
This highly volatile 5×4 slot sees players join a cunning gang of thieves in the City of London, attempting to commit the ultimate crime and get away with prizes worth up to 10,000x.
The action begins when three or more Bonus Symbols land, unlocking the game’s Bonus Reels. Players are awarded three respins, which reset with every new symbol that drops. As reels fill with loot, up to two additional reels can be unlocked, increasing the chances of landing valuable symbols and hitting big wins.
A range of criminally clever features can be triggered when special symbols such as the Cash Bag, Bag Man, Lock Smith, Gov’Nor, Pawn Broker, Detective and Constable land on the reels. Each symbol brings unique abilities to the chase, from revealing and collecting all visible values and amplifying symbol values to bringing non-persistent symbols to life again.
Persistent variants of these character symbols can appear, raising the stakes even more, triggering their abilities at the end of each spin and pushing players toward a genuinely successful heist.
Shelley Hannah, CPO at Relax Gaming, said: “Cash in Transit has all the makings of a legendary Relax Gaming slot. With a truly thrilling bonus reel mechanic that showcases a cunning gang of criminals, we think players will revel in the high-octane action and enjoy the engaging London heist theme with Bonus symbols and respins also up for grabs.”
