Evolution Group will showcase numerous headline games from its 110-plus planned new releases for 2025 at ICE Barcelona, 20–22 January, stand #2D20. All of the Group’s eight brands — Evolution, NetEnt, Red Tiger, Ezugi, Nolimit City, Big Time Gaming, DigiWheel and Livespins — will feature, representing the very best in innovative online live casino, RNG and slots at ICE’s exciting debut in the city.

Major releases from Evolution being premiered include Ice Fishing, Marble Race, Race Track, Fireball Roulette, Red Baron, Super Color Game, War and Lightning Bac Bo.

Ice Fishing, described as “a speed game show and Evolution’s coolest virtual money wheel game to date”, gives players a real-time fishing experience and the chance to reel in multiplied wins. Featuring a live game host casting for multiplier-laden fish in icy waters, the game offers instant wins and three unique bonus games where big wins are just a spin away.

More fast-paced action comes in the shape of two very different Evolution racing titles. Marble Race, a “game of pure action that’s as fun to watch as it is to take part in”, sees colourful marbles hurtle around a custom-made race track created exclusively by Evolution. Race Track  is an RNG retro horse racing game inspired by ’80s arcade games, with dynamic bets spots and personalised stats for players. Fireball Roulette, which builds on the Fireball bonus game in Evolution’s Lightning Storm, promises to be 2025’s hottest game.

Adding to the live game choice, Ezugi is set to wow visitors with Revolution Roulette, Triple Zero Roulette, and EZ Bingo. Each title has something new and different for operators, with Revolution Roulette’s unique wheel with 2x, 3x and 5x multiplier pockets offering a new spin on the classic game.

In online slots, NetEnt leads with Finn and The Dragon Tales, in which slot favourite Finn is gearing up for his most daring quest yet, battling dragons to claim Golden Keys and unlock hidden worlds. Jack Hammer 4: Chasing The Dragon, Divine Fortune Black and Golden Egg Invaders each deliver their own unique adventures, featuring gangster showdowns, divine riches, and intergalactic UFO encounters respectively.

Red Tiger unleashes Zillard King Megaways, where a monstrous beast evolves through three stages, unlocking Free Spins and summoning electrifying Thunder Wilds. In Serpent King, a new king emerges, continuing the legacy of Primate King and Zillard King. Bass Boss Megaways offers fishing fun with the chance to reel in big fish, and in Gods of Troy Megaways, collecting shields can lead to divine transformations and legendary rewards every 10th spin.

Nolimit City continue to push the boundaries with Tombstone Slaughter and Duck Hunters. Tombstone Slaughter, the latest sequel in the Tombstone series, is a 6-reel slot featuring xNudge® Wilds, Revolver-triggered Cylinder features, Slaughter and Massacre Spins that include El Gordo’s revenge meter that awards unique multipliers and free spins, and a massive max payout of 500,000x the base bet. Duck Hunter features cluster pays, cascading reels, xWays®, Infectious xWays®, Exploding Bombs, and bonus-triggered upgrades in Duck Hunt, Hawk Eye and Big Game Spins.

Big Time Gaming, the creators of Megaways, unveil Max Megaways 3 and Big Bucks Deluxe. In Max Megaways 3, Join Max on his latest high-stakes mission where the Megadozer delivers Bonus Coins and Free Spins features two doors to choose from. Meanwhile, Big Bucks Deluxe introduces the all-new Megapots mechanic, along with unlimited multipliers in Free Spins and the Hold and Spin.

Finally, for the first time ever, Livespins will be streaming live from the Evolution Group stand and showing operators how to socially charge their gaming experiences with interactive and community-driven play.

Todd Haushalter, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer, said: “Yet again, our licensees can look forward to the very best of online gaming from our Group roadmap for 2025. First stop on the journey is ICE, in its new home of Barcelona, where visitors can preview so many of these new games and hear the stories behind them. Our lead live title, Ice Fishing, is loaded with little and big surprises and is unlike any live game show we have ever created. Aside from live, of course, we have a host of equally exciting new titles in RNG and slots. In short, we have another mega year in store, and we cannot wait to share it all with customers old and new on stand #2D20 at ICE Barcelona.”

Slotsoo Awards 2025: Celebrating Excellence Across Casinos and Game Providers

Summer is here and it is time for Slotsoo’s signature celebration of the iGaming industry. The Slotsoo Casino Awards return for its third edition, continuing the tradition of highlighting operators who excel in delivering a top-tier player experience. This year also marks an exciting expansion with the inaugural Slotsoo Game Provider Awards, giving long-overdue recognition to the creators of great slots.

The New Game Provider Awards and the Winners

Game providers are sometimes overshadowed by casinos, but in reality, both are equally important to the online casino experience. That’s why Slotsoo is proud to shine a spotlight on the studios behind the reels. The winners of Slotsoo’s first provider-focused awards were announced on 24 July 2025, and the honors went to:

  • The Machine MVP – Pragmatic Play
  • Bonus Buyer – Bullshark Games
  • Volatility Virtuoso – Wazdan
  • Jackpot Jumbo – Mancala Gaming
  • Symphony Spinner – Gamzix
  • Reel Renegade – Nolimit City
  • Promising Prodigy – Slammer Studios

Please visit the Slotsoo Game Provider Awards page for detailed descriptions of each trophy and the motivations behind the winners.

The Anatomy of Slotsoo’s Trophies: Where Fun Meets Serious Recognition

At Slotsoo, each trophy is whimsical by design but grounded in real player values, making the Slotsoo Awards both entertaining and insightful. Every category has a clear purpose, recognizing what truly matters in iGaming today.

At the core of each awards lineup is a main trophy: The Gambling GOAT honors the top-performing casino operator, while The Machine MVP celebrates the best overall game provider. Surrounding these main awards are a collection of supporting trophies, spotlighting specific areas of excellence, from fast withdrawals and fun bonuses to volatility and winning potential.

These award categories offer a chance for actors who crush it in a certain area to be recognized, even if they don’t dominate across the board. Just like other iGaming awards, Slotsoo includes a category for newcomers, encouraging fresh talent and pushing established names to keep innovating.

The timing of the awards is also a deliberate choice. Markus Björk, head writer at Slotsoo, explains the team’s reasoning:

“After a hectic Winter and Spring packed with iGaming events, June and July offer a rare chance for the industry to slow down and reflect on the year so far. Let’s enjoy the cucumber season and appreciate what’s been achieved. This is when you can harvest the rewards of your hard work before autumn arrives with new challenges and opportunities.”

The Winning Casino Operators 2025

The Slotsoo Casino Awards 2025 took place in June, and these were the seven winners:

  • The Gambling GOAT – Betizy
  • The Bonus Buff – Sugarino
  • The Loyalty Lord – Wisho
  • The Withdrawal Wizard – Vauhdikas
  • The Gamification Guru – Arctic Casino
  • The Payout Professor – Wolfy Casino
  • The Noisy Newcomer – Lunar Spins

This was the third time Slotsoo held the casino awards for its English-language site targeting the EU market in general. During the same period, the dedicated awards for the Finnish market, Slotsoo Kasinogaala 2025, celebrated its second year. These awards consist of seven trophies equivalent to the English ones, plus an eighth trophy dedicated to the casino operator with the best slot streaming offering.

The Nordic country is undergoing big changes, with a new gambling legislation and a licensing system planned to be introduced by 1 January 2027. The future will tell how this will affect the structure and categories of the awards.
