The Kindred Group will remain as Middlesbrough Principal front-of-shirt partner for another two years in a move that will significantly strengthen the club’s outreach work in the local community.

Kindred have partnered with Middlesbrough since 2018 – meaning the partnership will be nearly a decade old by the end of the latest deal, making it one of the most successful and long-running in British football.

Significantly, the partnership will continue to fund Middlesbrough FC Foundation’s (MFCF) delivery of Team Talk – a men’s mental health initiative. The Team Talk platform uses the local club and its players, manager and staff as a mechanism to engage with men about their mental well-being.

The logo of gambling operator Unibet adorns first team shirts in what is another record-breaking partnership for the club. “Zero% Mission”, which is Kindred’s Responsible Gambling message, appears on this season’s shirts.

Kindred have also pledged to donate a percentage of their hospitality and merchandising rights to supporters via competitions and giveaways.

Further, Kindred will donate front-of-shirt sponsorship space to MFC through the season – allowing for the promotion of the club’s charitable initiatives.

MFC Foundation works to raise aspirations and improve the life chances of young people and adults across Teesside. Its work is supported and funded, in part, by the club’s commercial partners, including Kindred Group.

Kindred has always played a central role in the club’s ‘Foundation Weekend’. This forms part of an initiative to highlight the Foundation’s life-changing work for participants of all ages in the local community, as well as how people in the area can access its projects and services.

Sam Mead, UK General Manager, Kindred Group, said: “Kindred’s relationship with Middlesbrough is one of football’s longest running and impactful, so far as community outreach is concerned. That is why we were committed to extending the partnership for another two years.

“We recognise that we are in the privileged position to positively influence clubs and their communities – a responsibility we take seriously. That’s why the basis of this latest partnership will be to help showcase the MFC Foundation’s wide-ranging work, including the men’s mental health initiative Team Talk.”

Liam McGuinness, Head of Commercial, Middlesbrough FC, said: “Everyone at the club is absolutely delighted to extend our partnership with the Kindred Group for another two years. Most importantly, we’d like to thank them for continuing their vital support of the club’s Foundation – especially through the Team Talk mental health initiative.

“The health and wellbeing of our local community is very important to ourselves and Kindred. We are all looking forward to the opportunity to continue driving forward new initiatives that will benefit both our supporters and the people of Teesside”.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, is reinventing a classic with the launch of Jackmaster Fruits, a high-energy title that blends vintage design with modern rewards.

Inspired by traditional fruit machines, Jackmaster Fruits delivers a nostalgic experience, featuring bright fruit symbols, iconic BARs, lucky horseshoes, ringing bells, Jokers and the legendary red 7.

While rooted in tradition, the title introduces a suite of new engaging features to elevate gameplay. Wild symbols substitute for all other icons, helping to complete winning combinations, while Scatter symbols can land anywhere on the reels to trigger further rewarding opportunities.

Landing three or more Scatters in the main game activates the Free Spins bonus, and any additional scatters that land during the feature can subsequently trigger the Extra Free Spins.

For those looking to jump straight into the round, a Bonus Buy option offers the chance to instantly trigger Free Spins, with players in selected markets able to choose between 10, 20 or 30 spins.

With a top Epic prize of up to 100x the bet, Jackmaster Fruits delivers strong retention and exciting win potential in every session.

Using bold visuals and mechanics throughout, Evoplay’s latest standout release delivers a fresh take on a beloved classic, appealing to both traditional slot enthusiasts and modern players.

 

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “When designing Jackmaster Fruits, we wanted to capture the timeless appeal of traditional slot machines while enhancing the experience with modern features and mechanics.

“The result is a game that feels instantly familiar but still just as exciting at every turn, combining simple gameplay with strong win potential. It’s a perfect example of how we continue to evolve classic concepts for today’s players.”

Games Global, together with exclusive studio partner PearFiction Studios, has launched Noodle Riches™ Loot Collect™, a character-driven slot combining refined visuals with high-performing mechanics and maximum win potential of 25,000x.

Set in a lively noodle bar, the 5×4, 25-payline slot follows the world of ramen-loving pandas and a playful master-chef cat, with gameplay shaped around evolving features and varied rewards designed to sustain engagement.

At the core is the Loot Collect™ feature, where collect symbols landing on reels one and five gather values and modifiers from across the reels, including cash prizes, multipliers, boosters and additional Free Spins, bringing multiple elements together on each spin.

The NoodleTastic Zone adds further depth, activated when specific symbols are collected during Free Spins. Once activated, the zone applies multipliers to cash values that land within, increasing the value of collected rewards.

Additional engagement comes via the Catchinko Bonus, which can award instant cash and jackpot prizes, or combinations of Free Spins modes. Fixed jackpots include Mini, Minor, Major, Grand, and Epic.

Four distinct Free Spins modes expand the experience, activated by collecting pot symbols linked to each respective mode. No Low Free spins removes lower-value symbols, Cascade introduces consecutive win opportunities, Jumbo enhances symbol coverage across reels, and Expand increases the layout to 5×8 with 50 paylines. These modes can appear individually or in combination, delivering further variety to gameplay.

Combining a distinctive theme with a strong mix of proven mechanics, Noodle Riches™ Loot Collect™ delivers a feature-rich addition to Games Global’s growing portfolio.

 

Jeremy Coleman, Commercial Director at PearFiction Studios, said: “Noodle Riches™ Loot Collect™ focuses on combining multiple feature types into one cohesive experience. From collect mechanics to varied Free Spins modes, the goal was to build a game with a clear identity that carries through every part of the experience, from the characters to the pacing.”

 

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “PearFiction Studios’ Noodle Riches™ Loot Collect™ combines a distinctive theme with a rich, well-executed feature set, creating a highly engaging and immersive player experience — and a strong addition to our portfolio.”
