The highly anticipated sequel to the minimalist hit slot, The Line, features explosive new bonus features and a massive 32,000x max win
CryptoSlots.com, a premier online crypto casino, launches its electrifying two-payline Mega Matrix slot, The Line x2. This vibrant sequel builds upon the sleek, minimalist foundation of its popular predecessor, The Line, by adding a second payline and supercharging play with new bonus features.
To celebrate the launch CryptoSlots is offering all players an exclusive deposit bonus. From September 24-30, players can get up to a 90% Match Bonus on deposits as little as $10.
Set against a futuristic retro neon aesthetic, The Line x2 immerses players in a cyberpunk, synthwave world. The game masterfully blends classic fruit slot symbols—like glowing cherries and electric strawberries—with a modern, high-voltage theme. Designed for seamless play on any device, it is fully optimized for mobile gameplay, including a specially designed portrait mode.
“The original The Line was a massive hit for its clean design and engaging mechanics. With The Line x2, we’ve listened to our players and amplified everything they loved,” said Michael Hilary, Manager of CryptoSlots. “We’ve added a line, packed it with powerful new features, and wrapped it all in a visually stunning neon package. It’s a perfect fusion of classic slot charm and futuristic excitement.”
The Line x 2 Highlights:
- Bet Range: Accessible to all players, with bets from $0.10 to $50.
- Dual Paylines: Wins are paid anywhere on the two reels, offering more frequent winning combinations.
- Expanding Double Wilds: Wild symbols can expand to cover entire reels, doubling their power to create huge wins.
- Clone Wilds: This Wild doesn’t just substitute for other symbols—they replicate. When one lands, it transforms the surrounding symbols into additional Wilds, creating a chain reaction of winning potential.
- ‘Pick Me’ Bonus Round: Land 3 or 4 PICK ME scatters to trigger an instant prize round with 1 or 2 picks, awarding instant coin prizes.
- Massive Max Win: Players have the chance to win up to an incredible 32,000x their wager.

BC.GAME Launches Tap Trading

Reading Time: < 1 minute
BC.GAME announced the launch of Tap Trading (a touch-to-payout multiplier game) on its platform. At launch, Tap Trading will support multiple mainstream crypto pairs, including ETH/USDT, SOL/USDT and STONKS/USDT. Users can access the product in the Web/App “Crypto Futures” section.
BC.GAME already offers a diversified product lineup spanning casino, sports and market mini-games—including UP DOWN, HIGH LOW and HIGH LOW SPREAD. The addition of Tap Trading further expands BC.GAME’s market-interaction experiences, allowing users to engage with highly liquid crypto assets through a simple, convenient price-touch mechanic.
Unlike traditional derivatives, Tap Trading makes potential return and loss visible before order placement. Users tap a green target block on the right-hand grid to place an order; each block displays its multiplier and time window. If the price curve touches the selected block before the timer expires, settlement is made by that block’s multiplier (total return = stake × multiplier). If the target is not touched, the stake is lost. This design significantly simplifies operation and outcome determination, enabling users to express views not only on direction, but also on magnitude and time.
Jack, CEO of BC.GAME, said: “Adding Tap Trading to our platform fills a gap in lightweight market-interaction gameplay and reflects users’ demand for a simple, direct way to participate in crypto markets. Whether you’re market-savvy or trying this for the first time, Tap Trading offers a clearer experience with visible parameters and well-defined boundaries.”
Jack added: “Combining such an intuitive mechanic with our ongoing work on real-time pricing and product polish marks another important step forward for BC.GAME’s crypto entertainment offering.”
