The Nordic gaming company Paf decided to give all employees the opportunity to donate €125,000 to various good causes, initiatives and projects. The causes were selected through a nomination and voting process by the employees.

All Paf employees were given the opportunity to nominate their own initiatives that they felt were worthy of Paf’s €125,000 donation. Once the nomination process was complete, employees were asked to vote for the initiatives, and it was the employees’ votes that determined which initiatives received the donation and how much of the sum was allocated to each project.

“It’s really important that everyone who works at Paf feels that our core mission is different and that it’s well worth working for. That’s why we wanted to involve the employees and give everyone a direct opportunity to determine the distribution of the donation,” says Paf’s CEO Christer Fahlstedt.

Paf’s basic purpose is to generate funds for the benefit of society. The annual profit is used as Paf funds for social, environmental, youth, sports and cultural purposes, among others.

Second year in a row

This is the second year in a row that Paf employees have been able to donate a sum of money to various good causes. Last year employees donated €100,000 and this year the amount was increased to €125,000.

“It was a great way to end last year and a good initiative to repeat this year. The donation is not part of Paf’s usual mission and purpose, but it reflects our overall core purpose in an excellent way,’ says Paf CEO Christer Fahlstedt.

The distribution of €125,000

When the employees gathered in December for the annual Christmas speech, the vote was taken and the result determined how the €125,000 would be distributed. The Employee vote gave causes for Ukraine the biggest donation and €40,000, followed by causes against cancer €25,000 and in third place causes for combating abuse of children €15.000.

1. €40.000 – Causes for Ukraine

2. €25.000 – Causes against cancer

3. €15.000 – Causes for combating abuse of children

8. €5.000 – Causes for Women

9. €3.500 – Relief efforts – Spanish weather disaster

BGaming releases Frenzy Clusters slot with expanding grid feature

New cluster-pay title includes five character companions, Free Spins with progressive multipliers, and a ×10,000 max win at 97.11% RTP.

BGaming has released a new slot, Frenzy Clusters, adding another #Entertainment title to its portfolio. The game uses a cluster-pay mechanic and an expanding grid, with BGaming stating a maximum win of ×10,000 and an RTP of 97.11%.

Frenzy Clusters is built around five selectable character companions—Golub, Hugo, Bloke, Aussie, and Olaf—each positioned as culturally inspired. BGaming says the character choice does not affect outcomes, but characters react to wins with animations and interact with events on the reels.

Gameplay runs on a grid with blocked edge cells that can be unlocked by landing winning clusters next to them, expanding the play area. After wins, the game can trigger one of three random symbol effects: Rockets (clear a horizontal line), Books (clear a 3×3 area), and Spheres (remove all instances of the same symbol). BGaming says grid expansions last one spin in the base game and persist for the duration of the bonus round.

The Free Spins feature is triggered by three or more Scatters. BGaming says the bonus includes a progressive multiplier based on the number of Scatters, with no limit, and that players can access the bonus via Buy Bonus options or use a Chance feature to increase trigger probability.

Alex Baliukonis, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “At BGaming, we encourage our design team to get as creative as possible, and titles like Frenzy Clusters are the kind of magic they deliver.

This is one of our most imaginative titles to date, with each of the game’s five characters being designed to appeal to different players. Fantasy roleplay fans will definitely spot plenty of references in the game, with the team pulling inspiration from some of their favorite campaigns, and we have also been inspired by other popular culture stories.

The game goes beyond its aesthetic appeal, offering some big wins and a creative twist on the popular cluster-play dynamic, with the expanding grid providing the kind of engagement and progressive action that is tailor-made for streamers.”

Climb Time Mummy Cash Uncovered

Games Global and High Limit Studio launch Climb Time Mummy Cash Uncovered

Egyptian-themed slot adds Climb Time progression, Guaranteed Wild Meter and a Bonus Booster Wheel with rewards up to 6,250x.

Games Global has launched Climb Time Mummy Cash Uncovered™ in partnership with exclusive studio partner High Limit Studio. The new Egyptian-themed 5×3 slot adds feature progression, hidden prize reveals and a bonus wheel, with the company stating maximum rewards of up to 6,250x.

At the core is the Cash Uncovered™ mechanic, triggered by landing a Mummy or Wild symbol on every reel. When activated, the feature reveals hidden prizes on Wild symbols and awards all displayed values simultaneously.

The title uses the Climb Time™ progression system to unlock upgrades through play, including Random Wilds, the Bonus Booster Wheel and enhanced Mummy symbols. As players progress, four mummy modifiers are added to reel one: Hot Spin Mummy (prizes up to 1,250x), Boost Mummy (increases prizes up to 15x), Collect Mummy (gathers values up to three times) and Multiply Mummy (multipliers up to 10x).

A Guaranteed Wild Meter tracks Random Wilds landing on reels two to five during the base game. If a spin results in no win, the symbols are collected to build the meter. Landing three bell scatters awards 10 Free Spins, played with the number of Guaranteed Wilds accumulated. Coin symbols also feed a Treasure Pot that can randomly activate a Wheel Bonus.

High Limit Studio Creative Director Adrian Wotton said: “The Egyptian theme was a natural fit for the Cash Uncovered™ mechanic and gave us the opportunity to approach the concept from a different angle. Combined with the Guaranteed Wild Meter and enhanced mummy features, we’ve introduced new layers to the experience while staying true to what made the original title so popular.”

Games Global Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management Dave Reynolds added: “Climb Time Joker Cash Uncovered™ proved how well this mechanic resonates with players, and this release gives operators a follow-up that builds on that success. High Limit Studio has layered in feature progression and the Guaranteed Wild Meter to deepen the experience – evolving a concept players already know into something with even broader appeal.”
