HelicopterX: Another innovation from Smartsoft
SmartSoft, a leading provider of non-traditional casino games operating on the B2B market since 2015. The creator of groundbreaking and unique games, with nearly a decade of experience and 70 games to its credit, SmartSoft has pioneered several unique gaming experiences. Among its groundbreaking creations is the flight-based non-traditional casino game JetX, which has set a benchmark in the industry. SmartSoft has introduced its latest marvel, HelicopterX, which has quickly attracted millions of users worldwide. Launched in November, HelicopterX has already took the 4th position in gaming rankings, thanks to its immersive gaming experience, this game sets a new standard for visual excellence and artistic innovation in the gaming industry.
SmartSoft’s CEO, Guga Gotsadze shares his thoughts with us: “HelicopterX represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to providing innovative and engaging gaming experiences. Our team’s dedication and creative approach have truly set this game apart in the market.” HelicopterX features a helicopter as the main object and a diamond as the trigger, combining dynamic casino gameplay with interactive elements. The game’s exceptional visual design, stunning graphics, and captivating animations engage players from the first glance. Every element, from detailed environments to dynamic visual effects, teleports players in a stunning digital world.
The creation of HelicopterX was a collaborative effort involving multiple departments at SmartSoft, each contributing their expertise to deliver a top-tier product. The process began with an initial concept, where the team decided to make the game distinctive – unlike similar games in the industry that are solely based on mechanics, while working on HelicopterX, they decided that the game would feature modern visuals, be as user-friendly as possible, and incorporate outstanding mechanics. After this they planned the core algorithms and game logic. Following this, the back-end development phase involved meticulous coding to bring these ideas to life. The subsequent front-end development phase integrated sophisticated designs with the game logic, ensuring seamless animations and functionality across various devices.
In the design department, the initial stage involved creating drafts or “skeletons” of the game’s visual elements. The objective was to visually express the game concept in the most engaging way possible. Multiple versions of the environment, diamond, and helicopter were sketched before finalizing a distinct and appealing environment. This stage was crucial for the product’s success, as the game needed to be both visually appealing and intuitive. After finalizing the designs, the animators brought these elements to life, ensuring a seamless and captivating visual experience. Continuous testing and optimization were conducted to ensure technical efficiency and eliminate any bugs, providing users with an error-free gaming experience. “Our rigorous testing process and attention to detail ensure that HelicopterX delivers a flawless and engaging experience for all players,” the CEO added.
One of the standout features of HelicopterX is the Diamond feature, which enhances the overall gameplay experience. This unique element helps players navigate through the basic Multiplayer faster, adding depth and excitement to the game. The design elements, including symbols, backgrounds, and animations, are coherently aligned to support and enhance the game’s theme, contributing to a cohesive and immersive gaming experience. HelicopterX is a testament to SmartSoft’s dedication to innovation and excellence in the gaming industry. From the captivating visuals to the rigorous testing, every aspect of the game is handled in-house, fostering a sense of pride and ownership among the team. “We believe HelicopterX embodies the spirit of innovation and excellence that SmartSoft strives for. We are proud of our achievement and excited to share this experience with players around the world,” said the CEO.
With the successful launch of yet another game, Smartsoft is set to fly even higher and reach new heights. Every new creation from SmartSoft prepares new adventures and unforgettable experiences.

Games Global and Slingshot Studios expand Cashingo™ series with Eruption Blaze Cashingo™
Title pairs advanced Cashingo
experience with ULTRA Link&Win
enhancements
Games Global, together with its exclusive studio partner, Slingshot Studios, has released Eruption Blaze Cashingo
, bolstering the popular series with a feature-rich release, where jackpots up to 5,000x chart a path to 13,283x win potential.
Set against the backdrop of a lava-spewing volcano, every cash and jackpot coin that lands is added to the mirrored Cashingo
grid, with the value of all prizes paid out when a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row is completed.
Adding further variety to the action is the integrated ULTRA Link&Win
feature, which can be activated by landing six or more coins. The feature begins with three respins on a 5×5 reel set, with three extra rows initially locked. Keys can unlock additional rows, expanding the reels and increasing win potential.
Special Boosters can appear during the round, including Doublers that increase the value of up to four cash prize coins and Collectors that gather all visible cash coin values at once. Persistent versions of these boosters remain active, while Extra Life coins award an extra spin once the initial respins are exhausted.
Free Spins offer a change of pace and greater depth, with a Power Stacks
feature enhancing wild and coin symbols to elevate potential.
Eruption Blaze Cashingo
showcases Slingshot Studios’ continued refinement of the Cashingo
franchise, delivering an engaging, well-paced gameplay experience.
Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Our goal with Eruption Blaze Cashingo
was to take what players enjoy about Cashingo
and give it more room to develop.
“The combination of the Cashingo
and Power Stacks
mechanics introduces a dynamic element to the base game, and the enhanced ULTRA Link&Win
feature adds clear progression as the grid expands. We are delighted with how the experience comes together.”
David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy & Partner Management at Games Global, added: “Eruption Blaze Cashingo
is a strong addition to our portfolio and a great evolution of the Cashingo
concept. Cash and jackpot coins open up new ways for the game to build, while the updates to the ULTRA Link&Win
feature bring more variety to each round.
