Play’n GO breathes new life into ancient Chinese mythology with Bao Shi, a visually striking 5-reel slot centred around the mythical Lion God, Lioras. Set amidst mist-shrouded mountains and long-forgotten temples, Bao Shi beckons players to release Lioras from an ancient spell cast by a malevolent warlord, bringing prosperity to those brave enough to beat the drums of destiny.

Bao Shi joins Play’n GO’s esteemed catalogue of narrative-driven, culturally resonant titles like Imperial Opera and Celebration of Wealth, offering players an enriched experience that blends compelling narratives with sophisticated gameplay.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “Bao Shi immerses players in ancient Chinese legends with unmatched authenticity and rewarding gameplay. The Lioras Blessings and Free Spins features offer meaningful interactions directly tied to the slot’s captivating narrative, ensuring a memorable experience for all players.”

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Step into Pip O’Spin’s world of rainbows, golden rewards, and mischievous magic
Stakelogic has unveiled its latest enchanted adventure, Leprechaun’s Loot, where Irish folklore meets inventive mechanics. Starring Pip O’Spin, a cheeky leprechaun from the emerald hills with a gift for turning rainbows into gold, the game combines playful storytelling with exciting Hold ‘N’ Win action.
With 243 Pay Ways, players begin on a 5×3 grid where Rainbow symbols can be boosted into Golden Rainbows, instantly increasing their value. Rainbow Collects deliver instant wins when a Collect symbol lands on reel five, while Lucky Respins give players a chance to trigger the Bonus. Players can also activate Super Stake to double the likelihood of entering Free Spins or buy directly into the Hold ‘N’ Win feature for 100x their bet.
Once inside the Hold ‘N’ Win Bonus, the real magic begins. Here, Rainbow and Golden Rainbow symbols lock in place while modifiers add layers of excitement.
Expand symbols can unlock additional rows up to a full 5×5 grid, while Double symbols fill a meter that, when charged, doubles all Rainbow values before resetting. Golden Rainbows persist throughout the round, transferring and stacking their value onto other symbols creating a steady stream of treasure.
With high volatility and a max multiplier of x5,000, Leprechaun’s Loot balances whimsical charm with serious win potential.
James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “With Leprechaun’s Loot, we wanted to create a slot where every feature feeds into the next, building momentum and excitement spin by spin. The Hold ‘N’ Win round really comes alive as modifiers stack, the grid expands, and Golden Rainbows keep values climbing. This release delivers layers of gameplay that will keep players engaged, entertained and wanting to come back for more.”
Leprechaun’s Loot will be available to operators and players from 9 October 2025.
