Playson, a leading digital entertainment provider, has unveiled a major update to its popular Cleopatra-inspired series with 4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win. The release introduces a new Mystic Feature, enhancing the classic dual bonus gameplay and offering players fresh ways to win across the reels.

Set against a vibrant Egyptian backdrop, the game features a 5×3 grid of desert dunes under a sapphire sky. Players encounter striking hieroglyphic symbols, shimmering gold coins, and up to four coveted Scarab Coins per spin, which trigger a variety of bonus features when combined with matching-coloured Scarab Pots above the reels.

The revamped Hold and Win Bonus Game now offers three dynamic Scarab Features:

• Mystic Feature: Landing Red Scarab Coins reveals up to six additional cells, each hiding random coin values or Jackpot Coins.
• Multi Feature: Triggered by Violet Scarab Coins, multipliers of up to 5x are applied to empty cells or existing Multipliers, boosting potential payouts.
• Collect Feature: Blue Scarab Coins gather the value of all symbols currently in play, including coins, Jackpots, and other Scarab Coins, maximizing wins.

Adding another layer of excitement, the Royal Scarab Coin can trigger the Royal Bonus Game, expanding the grid to 5×5 and activating one or more Scarab Features simultaneously. Players can collect Scarab Coins across the expanded field, increasing the chance to win significant rewards, including jackpots.

Jackpots form a core part of the gameplay, with 15 cells filled during the standard Bonus Game awarding a 3,000x Grand Jackpot, and completing all 25 cells in the Royal Bonus Game unlocking the Royal Jackpot of 10,000x the bet. Additionally, the Golden Pot Feature randomly transforms into Scarab Coins, further enhancing active features or activating new ones, adding unpredictability and high-intensity gameplay.

4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win exemplifies Playson’s commitment to evolving its most successful slots while keeping the gameplay experience fresh. The new mechanics are designed with player engagement and retention in mind, offering strategic choices, bonus variety, and big-win potential that appeal to both casual players and high rollers.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win takes a proven performer and injects it with even more energy through the introduction of the Mystic Feature. Combined with the expanded Royal Bonus Game, players can expect richer gameplay, bigger moments, and enhanced win potential throughout. This is a great example of how we continually evolve our top titles to remain competitive in the online casino market.”

Operators can leverage the new mechanics to increase session duration and engagement, making it a compelling addition to their live portfolio.

With 4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win, Playson continues to prove its ability to innovate and deliver engaging experiences that resonate with global players while driving measurable results for operators.

Sporting Risk, the sports analytics firm focusing on predictive models that create top-tier pricing and betting content, has broadened its product lineup before the World Cup with the introduction of Mega Builder and 5 for 25. Both innovative solutions aim to streamline bet creation and enhance player involvement for operators.

Mega Builder enables players to merge numerous low-odds choices within one match, incorporating combinations from all 11 players on each team or all 22 players on the field. In contrast to conventional multi-match accumulators, Mega Builder focuses the action on a single game, simplifying real-time bets, speeding up settlements, and enhancing engagement as several legs stay active throughout the game.

5 for 25 is a streamlined same-game pick’em product where players select five outcomes for a fixed return of 25 – no calculations, no complexity, just a clear and easy-to-understand proposition. Behind the scenes, a smart selection engine balances variety and correlation controls to ensure compelling, coherent combinations every time.

Andy Phillips, SportingRisk CBDO, commented: “These launches ahead of the World Cup reflect our focus on building intelligent, player-first products that remove friction while delivering commercial value for operators. Mega Builder and 5 for 25 simplify complex mechanics and turn them into engaging, intuitive experiences that players instantly understand.”
