Slotsjudge and Onlyplay Set a New Standard in their latest iGaming Collaboration
Slotsjudge and Onlyplay get together not only to discuss the latest gambling trends and the provider’s products but also to cook the traditional Ukrainian Borsch during the video interview. Krista Iljina, Slotsjudge streamer and game expert, interviews Alena Tsuranova, Head of Sales at Onlyplay, and learns more about the traditional Ukrainian dish which inspired Onlyplay to release the Lucky Borsch slot and combine cultural heritage with game development.
The Unique Collaboration
Slotsjudge experts decided to make the next video interview more creative to fully delve into the plots used by Onlyplay for its software development. The format of this interview is very different and creative since instead of a regular online call, Krista and Alena got together to learn more about cooking the traditional Ukrainian Borsch and discuss why this dish inspired the Onlyplay team to develop the Lucky Borsch slot.
Main Discussion Points
Since Krista and Alena were cooking during the entire interview, they had enough time to learn more about the importance of this dish for Ukrainians, including those working at Onlyplay. Alena told more about the right way of making borsch, its origin, and recipe variations.
Moreover, she covered the unique features and mechanics that make the Lucky Borsch slot so outpacing, including the combination of soup plates launching the bonus game and the Borsch Collect Symbol.
Alena is sure that the game’s design is vibrant to influence players’ emotions and convey the feeling of warmth and comfort associated with Borscht in Ukrainian culture.
The Significance of This Collaboration
Such collaborations bring affiliate interviews to a very new level. This approach allows Slotsjudge experts to better understand providers and their products and deliver this information to players, keeping them engaged even more.
This interview format is unique and ultimate since no other affiliate in the world has been cooking Ukrainian borsch with a provider while discussing the brand’s features and further plans. This creates an entirely new kind of entertainment, bringing more attention from players, partners, and everyone else involved in the iGaming industry.
In the future, the Slotsjudge team is looking forward to having more creative and innovative collaborations like this.
Jekaterina Dubnicka, Marketing and Communications Manager at Slotsjudge, said about this: ‘This collaboration is revolutionising the iGaming industry. We are setting a new standard in collaborations between affiliates and game providers.’
Alena Tsuranova, Head of Sales at Onlyplay, added: ‘It was truly an unusual and unique experience for the Onlyplay team. We can proudly say that our slot game, Lucky Borsch, is the most appetizing game on the market. For those who have never tried borsch, the number one dish in Ukrainian cuisine, this is an opportunity to get acquainted with its diverse ingredients while playing. And for those who already know how rich the taste and aroma of Ukrainian borsch are, the game inspires you to head to the kitchen and cook a big pot for family and friends. That’s exactly what we joyfully did together with Slotsjudge!”

Games Global and Stormcraft Studios dive into aquatic adventure with Mermaid’s Millions Cashingo™
Games Global, together with exclusive studio partner Stormcraft Studios, has unveiled Mermaid’s Millions Cashingo
, a vibrant deep-sea slot blending enchanting visuals with engaging mechanics to deliver a layered gameplay experience.
Building on more than 15 years of success enjoyed by the heritage title, Mermaid’s Millions, the upgraded sequel introduces the Cashingo
and ULTRA Link&Win
features to enhance gameplay.
Set in a shimmering underwater kingdom, the 5×5, 40-payline title unfolds among coral caverns and glittering reefs, with win potential in excess of 13,000x.
At the heart of the game is the Cashingo
feature, where Cash and Jackpot Coins populate a dedicated grid during both the base game and Bonus Spins. Some coins appear as glowing pearls, duplicating onto the grid where they stick and accumulate.
Forming horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines awards instant prizes and jackpots, while pearls landing on occupied positions merge their values to increase potential payouts.
Further intrigue comes through the ULTRA Link&Win
feature, activated by landing six or more coin symbols. The feature begins with three respins on a 5×5 grid, with coin symbols locking in place while the remaining positions continue to respin.
Special Seahorse Coins can unlock additional rows, expanding the reels and increasing reward potential, while boosters such as Collectors, Doublers, Persistent modifiers and Extra Life Coins can appear to increase winnings and extend the feature.
The adventure continues with Bonus Spins, activated by three or more scatter symbols to award 10 spins, where wild and coin symbols can appear Power Stacked to heighten the chance of significant wins.
Combining ocean-themed visuals with proven mechanics, Mermaid’s Millions Cashingo
delivers a dynamic experience designed to keep players engaged.
Terence Igesund, Executive Producer at Stormcraft Studios, said: “Mermaid’s Millions Cashingo
was made to feel vibrant and full of momentum from the very first spin.
“The ocean setting gave us the perfect canvas to build something visually rich, while the mechanics keep the action evolving as the grid fills and the reels expand.”
David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “Stormcraft Studios has delivered yet another title that blends strong visual identity with mechanics that are both engaging and easy to understand.
“Mermaid’s Millions Cashingo
captures that balance well and is another example of how our studio network continues to deliver diverse, high-quality content that strengthens the breadth of the Games Global portfolio.”
