Belatra celebrates All Hallows by revealing its top 5 Halloween themed slots
Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has revealed its five most popular Halloween-themed slots to celebrate All Hallows Eve. As it gets especially chilly outside, and the night grows darker and longer, Belatra has cast a spell to treat players.
Data shows that the five best-performing games within the Belatra portfolio are Mummyland Treasures, Witch School, Halloween Jackpot, Halloween Crystals and Halloween Bingo.
Mummyland Treasures continues to measure up as a gem in Belatra’s portfolio. Players travel to the underworld of the Mummy, where they will be required to learn the obscure symbols while exploring the ancient tombs and navigate to the top by crushing the Mummy’s barriers and obstacles.
A close runner-up is Witch School, in which players have a chance to visit the Witch School of Witchcraft to brew potions, unlock the hidden treasure chests, and claim a magical win.
Third on the list is Halloween Jackpot in which players must feel the thrill of the hunt, observe, and discover the right way to test a deadly trap or a rewarding bag.
Up next is Halloween Crystals that unfolds with a Halloween cave. The task is to unearth crystals as they provide you with healing powers. However, not everything that shines is gold. Support comes from a Jack-o’-lantern to offer advice on the reels.
Coming in at number five is Halloween Bingo. This 60-ball game captures the aura of Halloween perfectly thanks to its sharp design and ability to immerse players within a festive atmosphere.
Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “Whether you’re celebrating Halloween with friends or simply enjoying the spooky atmosphere, there’s no doubt this holiday is a special time of the year. So, get ready to try your luck with our five top picks and tricks, and see if you will need a bonus life to make it out alive.”

Esports and live events operator says it stayed profitable in 2025 and plans 15 arena events across 13 cities in 2026.
BLAST has opened a New York City headquarters in Brooklyn as the company reported record growth and profitability in 2025, including more than $133 million in revenue and over 40% year-over-year growth.
The new U.S. headquarters is located at 45 Main Street in Brooklyn within a shared 55,000-square-foot office space. BLAST said the hub will support partnerships, live events and commercial growth across North America as it expands its U.S. operations.
The North American push is being led by Chief Business Officer Leo Matlock, who has relocated to New York, alongside Steve Rossi, who joined earlier this year as SVP of Brand Partnerships. BLAST said its U.S. team has grown to eight full-time employees.
BLAST said it has staged seven tier-one esports events in North America over the past 16 months, across Austin, Fort Worth, Boston, Raleigh, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. The company cited “more than $102 million” in economic impact from the 2025 BLAST.tv Austin Major alone, including more than $9 million in hotel expenditures. It also recently announced the Rocket League World Championship will return to Fort Worth in September 2026.
In 2025, BLAST said its broadcasts delivered more than 2 billion live views globally and 300 million hours watched, spanning live events in 22 cities worldwide. The company also said it distributes content via 29 broadcast partners, including SuperSport, France TV and RTBF, reaching audiences in more than 150 territories and 30+ languages.
“Competitive entertainment has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in global media because it combines community, technology and live experiences in entirely new ways,” said Robbie Douek, CEO of BLAST. “The next generation of fans want entertainment that feels participatory, social and global by default. That shift is creating enormous opportunities for brands, publishers, creators and host cities, and we believe BLAST is uniquely positioned to help lead that evolution after a landmark year in 2025.” BLAST said it plans to host 15 arena events across 13 cities and three continents in 2026.
