“Welcome to the family of the World Champions!” – that’s how the official page of the Argentine football team proudly presented the SmartSoft Gaming as the team’s digital sponsor.
SmartSoft is a leading provider of innovative casino games operating on the B2B market since 2015 and has rapidly become a key player in the industry.

By extending these exceptional games to partners worldwide, SmartSoft not only reshapes the gaming landscape but also establishes new standards resonating throughout the global gaming community.
Smartsoft became a partner of the Argentine national team on October 20. Notably, this marks the Argentine Football Association’s (AFA) first-ever European partnership. The goal is to strengthen ties between the current world champion, Argentina’s national team, and the Argentine football industry, bringing them closer to Europe.
Guga Gotsadze, Managing Partner, SmartSoft: “Through this partnership with the Argentina Football Association and the National Team of Argentina, we embark on a journey that unites passion and excellence, where the worlds of business and gaming converge with the magic of Argentine football. Partnering with a world champion is a historic moment for our company. We’re thrilled to be the first gaming provider in Europe to become the exclusive digital sponsor of the National Team of Argentina, and we’re confident that this collaboration will propel our company and our games to new horizons.

Claudio Tapia, President of AFA: “We are very pleased to announce SmartSoft as the digital sponsor for the Argentine Football Association and the national team. Over the past few years, we’ve formed a strategic vision for the association aiming to strengthen the team’s relationship with international fans. Our plan includes the development of commercial and marketing strategies and participation in important events worldwide. We believe that a partnership with SmartSoft will help us to expand these relationships in Europe.
SmartSoft, a company from the family of world champions, will officially present itself on the European market in a new status at the gaming exhibition SIGMA Europe in Malta. The exhibition, scheduled for November 13-17, will be the 20th event this year for the digital sponsor of the Argentine team, in which it will participate to further expand its network of partners.

As we mark this extraordinary achievement, the demand for our resources has never been greater. We remain committed to expanding our reach and deepening our impact, ensuring that every child has the knowledge and confidence to navigate the risks of gaming and gambling harms.”

Introducing Prize Ladder from Northern Lights Gaming

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Studio’s latest classic slot delivers exhilarating bonus action against a glamorous TV gameshow backdrop, with cascading reels adding to the excitement
Have you got what it takes to take on the Prize Ladder and come out on top? That’s the question players must answer before taking on the latest classic slot title from in-demand content house, Northern Lights Gaming.
Bright lights and big wins are the order of the day in Prize Ladder, a game-show style blockbuster that promises twists and turns from the very first game round to the last.
Set on a vibrant stage with dazzling neon lights and a booming announcer voice, this ANYWAYS Rolling Reels game pays both left-to-right and right-to-left.
ANYWAYS Rolling Reels is triggered on any win and kick-starts a cascade where winning symbols are removed and new ones roll in, opening up chances for more consecutive wins.
The excitement builds with the Prize Ladder™ itself, which increases the value of winning symbols with every consecutive cascade in a single spin. And if a Padlock symbol lands on the final cascade, those juicy symbol values get locked in for the next spin.
This wouldn’t be a Northern Lights Gaming slot without a glitzy Free Spins bonus, which gets triggered when three or more Scatter symbols land. This gets the player eight Free Games with the Awards Cards held for the duration.
Then there’s the Super Spins, which are triggered when the player lands a full reel of the same symbol with Star overprints on reels one or five.
One whole reel of the same symbol also has a chance to trigger the Super Spins. The reels then spin in more of that symbol across the reels. Each position that is not held, spins, with either the triggering symbol, blank or Scatters.
Additional symbols and Scatters that land are held on the reels, and for each Super Spin, the Prize Ladder award rolls up one level.
Now for the Buy the Bonus options – players can Booster Buy, which increases the chance of triggering the Free Spins, Super Spins and the Padlock Bonus, or they can opt for the Bonus Buy to head straight to the Free Spins, Super Spins or Super Free Spins.
Chris Loftus CEO at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “Prize Ladder is a classic slot that plays more like a bonus-heavy video slot. It’s a game that’s all about the glitz and glamour, and climbing that ladder to unlock the game’s biggest bonuses and wins.
“The entire team has really pulled together for Prize Ladder, and the result is a visually striking slot with gameplay that gets pulses racing thanks to a smart combination of mechanics and bonuses, including some of our unique in-house features like Rolling Reels.
“Think your players are ready to take on the Prize Ladder? There’s only one way to find out.”
