Veikkaus continues its long-term partnership with Finnish ice hockey. The Finnish Ice Hockey Association and Veikkaus have agreed on a comprehensive partnership that will continue until 2030.

“Ice hockey is a major Finnish spectator sport that strongly resonates with and moves people. At Veikkaus, we have a long-standing and successful cooperation with Finnish ice hockey and Leijonat, of which we are proud. It’s very important to us that this long and successful journey continues for many years to come”, rejoices Reija Laaksonen, Veikkaus’ EVP, People, Culture and Communications.

Ice hockey is an important sport for Veikkaus from the perspectives of betting offerings and the company’s brand. The Finnish national Lions teams are a source of pride for Finns, and Leijonat matches are top offerings in Veikkaus’ betting.

“Thanks to the cooperation, we can continue to offer Veikkaus’ customers the interesting domestic betting products, services and content they desire, and develop them even better”, Laaksonen says.

“Our comprehensive partnership with Finnish ice hockey allows Veikkaus’ channels to continue to be strongly involved in the most interesting moments and series of Finnish ice hockey.”

The multi-year partnership between Veikkaus and Finnish ice hockey covers the Finnish men’s national team, the Women’s national team, the U20 national team, and the Aurora League.

“We are very pleased that Veikkaus remains one of our main partners in the Leijonat family. We share Veikkaus’ values, and we believe that in the future’s changing business environment, Sustainability will play an even greater role”, says Lassi Rönkkönen , Sales and Marketing Director of the Ice Hockey Association.

“Together with Veikkaus, we have lived and experienced the success moments of different Leijonat teams and built impactful marketing campaigns. It is great to continue the cooperation far into the future.”

The new 5×3, 10-payline title features Hold and Win or Free Spins selection and three jackpot tiers.

ELA Games has released Spirit of Savanna, a new online slot that introduces a player-choice bonus mechanic alongside Hold and Win, Free Spins, and three jackpot tiers.

Spirit of Savanna runs on a 5×3 reel grid with 10 paylines and is rated volatility 4 out of 5, according to the supplier. RTP is listed across two ranges: 93.98-94.16% and 96.01-96.12%.

The main differentiator is how a Wild symbol contributes to a winning combination. Instead of triggering a fixed feature, the game prompts players to choose between seven Free Spins or a Hold and Win bonus.

Both bonus paths include a Repeat Win feature that carries the value of the triggering win into each spin of the bonus round. The Free Spins feature can also retrigger using the same Wild-combination logic. The game includes three jackpot tiers, with the Grand Jackpot available either by landing two Antelopes or by filling an entire row with coins during Hold and Win.

Games Global has released Candy Combo 2 Power Combo™, developed with exclusive studio partner Slingshot Studios. The new slot follows the original Candy Combo Power Combo™ and expands the title’s Link&Win™ gameplay and Power Combo™ mechanics.

The 5×3, 20-payline game is set in a pastel candy theme and uses five “candy jar” characters above the reels to collect matching symbols and trigger Link&Win™ modifiers. The Power Combo™ flow activates a Link&Win™ bonus played on a 5×4 grid, where cash coins remain in place as new symbols land.

Returning mechanics include Connector symbols with multipliers of up to 10x for completed rows, Collector symbols that gather visible cash values, and Jackpot symbols that award fixed prizes when four matching symbols are collected.

New features include Adder, which adds values to all other landed symbols, and Extender, which unlocks a second independent reel set to extend the Link&Win™ round. Games Global said up to five features can be active within a single Link&Win™ round, culminating in Super Power Combo™, where all features are active at once. The game also includes Hot Mode™, which adds extra feature symbols to the reels, and Upsizer™, which offers an option to enhance the Link&Win™ feature at a cost before the bonus begins.

Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Candy Combo 2 Power Combo™ builds on its predecessor – one of our most successful titles – by expanding how features interact within the Link&Win™ format.

“The addition of new jars and the ability to combine multiple mechanics introduces more variation across each round, while staying true to the core gameplay players recognise.”

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “Slingshot Studios has done a brilliantly at evolving a well-established concept by adding depth and flexibility to its feature set.

“The result is a bright, engaging title that enhances a proven mechanic while offering players more ways to experience its core gameplay.”
