The studio’s newest high-volatility game fuses traditional casino visuals with fiery multipliers, sticky wilds, and an increasing jackpot.
ELA Games has officially launched its latest slot, Rapid Wild. This neon-filled title immerses players in the core of a high-stakes competition, merging classic arcade visuals with a frantic energy to the gameplay.
A Charged Vintage Slot
Though ELA Games has built a unique identity with immersive worlds and character-driven narratives, Rapid Wild seeks to demonstrate the team’s adaptability and provide players with unparalleled slot excitement. Bathed in a radiant violet light, the game features a smooth, retro design. Gold bars, fortunate dice, and blazing jackpots throb across the 5×3 grid, forming an energetic atmosphere for gamers who enjoy arcade-style thrills with a stronger impact.
At the core of Rapid Wild lies a quest to seek out the Crazy Hot symbols. The process is simple yet fulfilling: the greater the number of symbols that appear on the reels, the larger the jackpot grows. Competitors who can endure the pressure and effectively complete the board will seize the grand reward before the flames diminish.
Explosive No-Cost Games and Turbocharged Wilds
The classic slot experience is enhanced with a genuine array of features. Landing Scatters activates the bonus round, granting 8, 16, or 25 Free Games based on the count of triggering symbols. Amidst these rotations, the genuine strength of the Wilds is revealed:
● Multiplier Wilds: Wilds that double (x2) and triple (x3) enhance the reels to boost winnings.
● Sticky Wilds: These icons adhere to the grid for two extra spins, securing your fortune.
Game Statistics:
● Spools: 5×3
● Winning Lines: 10
● RTP: 94.08% / 96.00%
● Volatility: Elevated (4/5)
● Maximum Win: x5,000 (€250,000)

ELA Games’ Tea Party of Fortune has been shortlisted for Slot Newcomer of the Year at the SiGMA Africa Awards 2026, highlighting the studio’s flair for narrative-driven design as the iGaming community prepares to convene at the Grand Arena in Cape Town this March.
An Inventive Take on a Classic Fairytale
Tea Party of Fortune earned its nomination thanks to its distinctive artistic style and multi-layered approach to the Hold & Win category. The slot moves beyond conventional static gameplay, featuring the “Overflowing Teacup” progression that builds anticipation during each spin.
The game’s charm lies in keeping players invested in the journey toward the Secret Garden through a range of active features. During the bonus round, colored tea-coins activate the cups’ magic, expanding the grid from 5×3 to 5×5, multiplying wins, and awarding extra respins, creating an experience as dynamic and whimsical as its theme.
Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director of ELA Games, commented:
“Having Tea Party of Fortune recognized at SiGMA Africa is a great moment for the team. We focused on bringing the characters to life through detailed animation and a story that unfolds as you play. Having our work acknowledged by the industry in such a vibrant market is a proud achievement for everyone at ELA Games.”

At SiGMA Eurasia on February 11, Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director of ELA Games, joined the panel “Progress Paths: Making Milestones Matter” to discuss innovative approaches to player retention and engagement. The session, moderated by Tim French (Commercial Manager, Greco Fast Track), explored how studios can design progression systems that go beyond conventional loyalty schemes.
Marharyta emphasized that maintaining player interest often comes from subtle design choices rather than overt progress bars. She highlighted how optimizing volatility and feature frequency creates natural anticipation, keeping players engaged through gameplay rhythm. She also advocated for micro-goals—short, intra-session milestones—and stressed the importance of audio-visual feedback to make moments feel rewarding in real time, rather than relying on long-term VIP systems alone.
The panel featured diverse perspectives from the industry, including Alena Tsuranova (CCO, Megafair) and Bulat Fakhrutdinov (Head of Partnerships, Betronic Software), who discussed how commercial strategies and partnerships shape the player journey.
Marharyta’s participation underscores ELA Games’ commitment to player-centric design and demonstrates how the studio’s “For Players, By Players” ethos translates into creating games that keep audiences coming back, while fostering long-term value in partnerships.
