Bitblox, the disruptive provider behind popular crypto price prediction games Up or Down? and 3 in a Row, has announced it will receive an investment from YOLO Investments, an innovative venture capital firm with interests in blockchain and fintech.

YOLO has long been an admirer of Bitblox, with the group’s proprietary igaming platform solution, Hub88, being among the first to adopt the company’s innovative titles when it launched in the summer of 2024.

Bitblox games have since gone from strength-to-strength in the industry, with the company’s unique hybrid of skill-based games (SBGs) and games of chance attracting interest from both sports bettors and casino players alike.

Now boasting a portfolio that includes a sped up version of its flagship title, Up or Down? Turbo, and a more light-hearted game in Bitslap, Bitblox is set to make further in-roads in the igaming space over the coming months and already has a number of new releases in its pipeline for 2025.

The company’s ambitions will, of course, now be furthered by the additional support being supplied by YOLO Investments and both parties are optimistic about embarking on a mutually beneficial partnership that should help to bring crypto-based betting further into the mainstream.

Brandt Page, Chief Executive Officer at Bitblox, said: “YOLO Investments is a company with a proven track record for identifying opportunities in the cryptocurrency-focused igaming space, so we’re very happy to have received a huge vote of confidence from them in the form of this partnership.

“As one of the early adopters of our games on its Hub88 platform, Yolo has witnessed first hand the potential Bitblox titles have in driving engagement from both sports bettors and casino players and I’m confident with their backing, we’ll be able to achieve more great things in 2025.”

Klen Kaljulaid, Principal at YOLO Investments, said: “We value innovative products that break away from the traditional 3×3 reels so beloved by the industry. Bitblox games provide a sense of control, reminiscent of cash games. I particularly appreciate knowing that the results are tied to real-world price movements rather than relying on RNG. While I understand the future is inherently unpredictable, I can, at least in theory, hold onto the illusion of knowing where the market might move—and if proven right, take satisfaction in my understanding of market dynamics.”

Treats of Terror haunts the reels with cascading suspense

Play’n GO gets spooky at the cinema with Treats of Terror, a 5×5 grid slot set in a shadowy cinema where ghostly confections and cascading symbols bring unexpected rewards with every drop.

Lights flicker and curtains twitch as Treats of Terror fills the screen with glowing sweets and spectral surprises. Set within a haunted theatre, this scatter-pays slot challenges players to land six or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid. Winning icons vanish in a cascade, replaced by fresh drops – and that’s where the tension truly builds.

Where this slot really earns its title is with its Collector mechanic. At any moment, Cash or Prize Symbols might appear – with values of up to x1000 – but it’s the eerie Collector who steals the show, harvesting all visible values for instant wins. With multiple Collectors on screen, each one gathers all symbol values independently, stacking up the scares and the rewards.

In Free Spins, players move through a three-act feature. Stage 1 kicks off with a x2 multiplier, increasing to x3 and then x5 by collecting Scatters along the way – all while the collection mechanic stays active. The theatre’s shadows deepen, the multipliers rise, and the tension never drops.

While Treats of Terror stands alone in its haunted setting, it builds on the cascading slot legacy seen in titles like Sweet Alchemy 2 and Honey Rush, marrying immersive visuals with powerful symbol synergy. Fans of grid slots and atmospheric design will find themselves right at home in this haunted house of film.

George Olekszy, Head of Game Retention, said: “Treats of Terror is all about sustained suspense. The cascading reels, the escalating Free Spins, and the Collector mechanic work together to deliver a layered, cinematic experience for players.”

With an eye-catching design and features that tie tightly to its theme, Treats of Terror offers a compelling blend of tension and reward.

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has released its new Western-themed action-adventure game, Outlaw’s Redemption.

The 5×3 game unfolds in a dusty frontier town under a twilight sky that is lit by lanterns hanging along a row of wooden cabins. A soft guitar riff is complemented by maracas, building tension on the reels populated with Golden Horseshoes, Whiskey Barrels, Longhorn Skulls, Cowboy Boots, and Revolvers.

There are two Wilds in play, a countdown revolver cartridge and a menacing outlaw, which count for any symbols except Free Spins and Bonus symbols. If five of either appear on a winning line then players will see their win multiplied by 1,000. Scattered Free Spins symbols are represented by a glamorous saloon girl and three or more will launch Free Games. In the base game only, Free Spins symbols will appear only on reels 1, 3 and 5. The Wild symbol will expand on one of the reels and remain until the end of the spins. Before the Free Spins begin, players choose between five options to decide where the Stacked Wild is located – the amount of Free Spins will change accordingly.

After the reels have come to rest, if there are any countdown Wild symbols on screen, the game will enter Respins mode. This means the Countdown Wild will stay for the next re-spin and its count will decrease by 1. When there are no Countdown Wilds with a count greater than or equal to 1, the Respin mode finishes. There are also Mystery symbols that are represented by saloon doors hiding one random symbol aside from Bonus, Wild or Free Spins.

The Bonus game is activated with three or more Wheel of Fortune Scattered Bonus symbols. Once in the Bonus game, players face a three level Wheel of Fortune, and have three attempts at spinning the wheel to win prizes including multipliers, extra spins or level up. In addition, the level up awards an extra spin and once these are gone, the sum of wins collected will be awarded.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Outlaw’s Redemption is a gritty Western adventure that is packed with entertaining features like Countdown Wilds and the Wheel of Fortune Bonus. Players will love this ride on the reels, hoping for a shot at glory.”

Belatra releases arcade adventure: Cyber Gypsies

Belatra, a leading developer of innovative online slots, has released its retro reels ride, Cyber Gypsies. This latest hit from Belatra carries players into a bright world where digital technology blends with the spirit of console gaming.

Taking inspiration from the look and feel of retro video games, Cyber Gypsies offers a classic 5-reel, 20-line layout packed with modern twists. A joyfully electro soundtrack puts the finishing touches on a game bursting with dynamic features, accumulating multipliers, and slick gameplay. Each spin holds the potential for thrilling wins. Wild symbols may appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 and substitute for all standard symbols to form winning combinations. Multipliers hold the true power with their ability to boost returns. During the base game, and normal Free Games, Wilds can carry x2 or x3 multipliers.

Hot Mode means these values increase to x3, x5, or even x8. When multiple Wilds land on a payline, their multipliers are added together – so a combination of x2 and x3 becomes x5 – leading to boosted wins. Hack Mode may activate in any base game spin to unleash a burst of Wild symbols onto the reels in real time that can create or enhance winning combinations. Players who can’t wait to amp up the action can also access Hack Mode directly via the Bonus Buy feature.

Free Games will be triggered with three Scatters landing on reels 1, 3, and 5. Players will automatically earn five Free Games, but before beginning, they must pick one of the eccentric heroes, each offering a unique volatility and bonus power. The next step is choosing the number of Free Games to play – ranging from 7 to 20. Once active, every Wild symbol uncovered becomes sticky and remains in place for the rest of the bonus round – significantly raising the chances of hitting frequent and big wins.

Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “Cyber Gypsies is more than just a slot—it’s a raucous, retro reels adventure. It’s a celebration of the timeless thrill of classic games, reimagined with modern mechanics. With Sticky Wilds, flexible Free Games, and multiple ways to boost wins, the game offers a perfectly-balanced mix of nostalgia and innovation.”
