Paf, the Åland-based gaming company and pioneer in responsible gaming, has signed a multi-year partnership with Formula 1 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen.

The agreement is conditional upon Paf obtaining a license in Finland and will take effect once Finland’s gambling market is opened to competition and the current system transitions to a licensing model. At present, the authorities goal is to implement the licensing system at the beginning of 2027.

Thomas Näsman, Manager, Paf: “We’re proud to welcome Kimi to the Paf team. He’s a true Finnish icon, and we value his honesty and no-nonsense approach, qualities that align perfectly with our brand. At Paf, we have bold ambitions to be the most responsible gaming company in the world while continuing to generate funds for the public good. As Finland moves into a licensed market, we’re excited to have Kimi with us on this journey.”

Kimi Räikkönen said: ”To be honest, we were contacted by a few gaming companies that did not arouse our interest, but Paf’s contact did. Paf’s history, openness, responsibility and Finnishness were the most important factors for me, not forgetting the directness, determination and fast working method of the people with whom the agreement was quickly concluded. As new opportunities are opening up for Paf in mainland Finland as well, I hope that our cooperation will be beneficial for Paf.”

Paf – For the benefit of society, Since 1966

Founded by charities in 1966 on the Åland Islands, Paf was built with a clear mission: to generate funds for the benefit of society. Today, Paf continues to lead by example, combining world-class gaming experiences with a bold commitment to social responsibility and transparency. As pioneers in responsible gaming, Paf were the first international gaming company to set annual loss limits for all players in 2018 — We believe great entertainment should be delivered responsibly and sustainably.

Paf stands for no-nonsense honesty, doing what’s right, and setting the standard in everything we do. We’re not here to follow the industry — we’re here to change it.

Witness legends collide in Battle of Myths by Swintt’s Elysium Studios

Exciting new addition to the Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt line-up sees a centuries old feud between dragon and tiger reignited in a flurry of free spins

Get front row seats to an epic clash between two rival gods in Battle of Myths – an action-packed addition to the Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt line-up that pits dragon against tiger in a divine skirmish where free spins and multipliers will ultimately decide the victor.

Set to an imposing backdrop of mountaintop dojos jutting from the heart of the rainforest, Battle of Myths is an Asian mythology-inspired slot that sees legendary warriors fight for control of the kingdom and the heart of the princess with the help of cascading reels and powerful wild features.

Upon starting the slot, players will immediately notice two distinct additions above the reels – namely the multiplier metre and a unique health bar. The first increases by 1x whenever a win is hit, at which point all featured icons will disappear as new ones drop from above to fill their place.

The health bar, meanwhile, depicts the struggle between dragon and tiger and can dramatically swing in favour of one or the other after every spin. If players land green dragon symbols, dragon will gain the upper hand, while if any red tiger symbols appear, tiger will claw back the advantage.

As this is going on, each combatant can potentially unleash their superpower – with dragon swooping across the reels to add random wilds and tiger dropping a mega wild to complete winning combinations – but if either fighter entirely fills the bar, an exciting new feature will begin.

If the dragon is victorious, players will receive eight free spins with random wilds always being added before the start of each one, while if tiger wins the fight, the same rules apply but with a mega wild constantly present. In both features, the multiplier metre won’t reset when a spin is over, meaning it’ll grow with each new win and push players even closer to the slot’s incredible 8,482x maximum win potential.

Finally, it wouldn’t be a fair fight if the princess didn’t get a say in the outcome – and fortunately whenever multiple instances of her symbol appear, all icons between them horizontally or vertically will be transformed into wilds to hopefully trigger more of the game’s 4,096 ways to win.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “It’s not every day you get to witness the gods collide in a winner-takes-all tussle for love and glory, but that’s exactly what’s at stake in our latest offering from Elysium Studios. With cascading reels, 4096 ways to win and two powerful free spins features, Battle of Myths provides an unforgettable experience for all fans of next-gen slots – and with a top prize of 8,482x, it certainly packs a punch that will shake the very heavens!”

Gaming Corps Unleashes Hyena Heist A-MAZE-CADES™ – A Wild New Twist on Cascades

Laughing Hyenas, cascading grid twists and three powerful features collide in a high‑volatility bank‑robbery slot.

Gaming Corps – a publicly-listed game development company based in Sweden, today announces the launch of Hyena Heist, the next daring entry in its A-MAZE-CADES™ series. Players join a trio of mischievous Laughing Hyenas as they execute a daring bank robbery, pursuing bags of cash, bars of gold and sparkling jewels on a dynamic 5×5 grid.

In Hyena Heist, every winning combination triggers the signature A-MAZE-CADES™ cascade mechanic. Winning symbols disappear and the non-winning navigate a maze‑like route toward the Exit position, making way for fresh symbols to cascade in from the right. This continuous reshaping of the grid offers relentless win potential and keeps each spin feeling alive with opportunity.

Three Hyena symbols – red, blue and yellow – remain on the grid if they form a win. When one reaches the Exit, it unlocks a unique bonus: the red Hyena adds a cash prize of between 5× and 1,000× the total bet to the cash pot, the blue Hyena multiplies that cash pot by up to 10×, and the yellow Hyena magnetises and collects all Cash Symbols still on screen.

Consecutive cascade wins also power up a Progress Bar that can trigger feature enhancements. Early cascades may clear low‑paying symbols or carve an X‑shaped pattern that removes all symbols but Wilds, Hyenas and Cash Coins. Eight back‑to‑back winning cascades award Free Spins, during which players choose between Reset Cash Pot mode granting six Free Spins and a fresh pot each round, or Sticky Cash Pot mode, with three Free Spins and an ever‑growing pot that carries over after each spin. During Free Spins up to ten re-triggers are possible, and up to three Hyenas can appear on the reels.

A surprise Wild Bomb feature can also activate on any non‑winning spin, planting explosive bomb symbols that detonate adjacent icons and convert to Wilds. With a maximum payout of 10,000× the total bet, Hyena Heist provides thrilling volatility alongside vivid graphics and playful sound design.

Viacheslav Pechernyi, Product Owner at Gaming Corps said: “Hyena Heist A-MAZE-CADES™ builds on the mechanics our players love while introducing fresh layers of strategy. We’ve fine‑tuned the cascade paths so every win not only feels rewarding but sets up the next opportunity. The Hyenas’ playful animations bring character to each spin, and the combination of cash prizes, multipliers and magnet features ensures there’s always something to aim for.”
