Hölle Games and Apparat Gaming join forces
The games with the famous German accent are now available via Hölle Games’ hinterzimmer.io Remote Gaming Server
Hölle Games, the Berlin-based start-up studio, has announced a ground-breaking collaboration with Apparat Gaming, the fellow slot game provider with the German accent.
This partnership marks a significant milestone as Hölle Games is now able to distribute Apparat Gaming’s captivating games to a broader audience, by having the games embedded and available through the hinterzimmer.io platform that has been developed by Hölle Games.
Both companies are proud of their German heritage and use this to create games and experiences that are distinctly German but perform just as successfully in international markets.
As part of this collaboration, both parties have leveraged their tech prowess and substantial experience in game delivery, successfully adding all of Apparat Gaming’s currently more than 30 innovative titles to the deliverable portfolio from Hölle. This includes the epic Jack Potter series and blockbuster slots like Total Eclipse XXL, 100 Sevens or October Bier Frenzy.
The strategic partnership aligns with the vision of fostering strong relationships within the gaming industry.
As they continue to expand their distribution network, the collaboration with Apparat represents a step towards this while providing an even more diverse and thrilling gaming experience for players.
Robert Lenzhofer, CEO of Hölle Games & hinterzimmer.io, said: “Apparat Gaming is not just a partner, but the founding team has been friends for many years and one of the co-founders is inadvertently responsible for my move to Germany and as such the foundation of Hölle Games. I try to never forget the people who have lifted you up in the past!”
Martin Frindt, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Apparat Gaming added: “We have entered into many aggregation partnerships since our foundation, but working with Robert and his team is something very special.
“They always say that you always meet twice, but when friendly competition turns into friendship, that’s really unique. This collaboration expands our partner network in an outstanding way, as our recently announced live deal with Stargames.de impressively demonstrates.”
Booming Games has released its latest slot “Diamond Forge: Link & Loot”. Boasting a 5×3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, the game offers players a maximum win potential of 10,000x. Set on a classic, diamond background, two explosive bonus features provide the ultimate experience for those seeking entertaining gameplay.
Every Diamond collected charges the Diamond Boost, which can be triggered in either the base game or from free spins. Boasting the ability to erupt at any moment, it can award up to 8 extra Diamonds onto the reels to instantly trigger the powerful Link & Loot feature. Players who collect 6 or more Diamonds are awarded 5 Link & Loot spins, where adjacent diamond symbols land and merge to create bigger symbols.
Players can create Colossal symbols of 2×2 and above to award a Colossal spin, where they can win higher value prizes or even the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Prizes. This culminates in the ultimate Colossal of 5×3 Diamonds capable of unleashing the biggest rewards.
Elsewhere, players who find 3 or more Scatters are awarded with 8 Free Spins and a boosted chance of triggering the Link & Loot feature again as they deploy colossal Diamonds toward the 10,000x maximum win.
Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Diamonds are a player’s best friend! Diamond Forge: Link & Loot is a modern twist on a classic theme, which we’re confident will be as popular as previous iterations of the Link & Look series. Innovative bonus features set on a familiar 5×3 grid combine to create an ultimate gameplay experience with significant win potential. Play Diamond Forge: Link & Loot now!”
