Push Gaming releases Joker Troupe online slot

Joker Troupe, the latest blockbuster online slot release from Push Gaming, turns up the heat on traditional joker games to deliver a thrilling player experience packed with three breath-taking bonus features.
Joker Troupe boasts not one but three jokers – Blue Joker, Green Joker and Red Joker– to deliver insane action. This, combined with a generous return to player of 96.68% and a volatility that sits at the high end of the scale, makes for a chart-topping online slot.
Each Joker – Blue, Green and Red – is a Scatter Symbol and when three of each land anywhere on the reels, the respective Joker Feature is triggered and the potential for big wins increases significantly.
The Blue Joker Feature sees players collect blue hats and build them into stacks. For every three blue hat symbols stacked the player will unlock a new row and increase the multiplier of any additional hat symbols up to x25. During the feature, the reels can expand up to 10×4.
If three Red Joker symbols land during the Blue Joker Feature, the player will go straight to the Red Joker Free Spins, which can also be triggered during the base game. Once active, players receive 20 seconds of free spins.
Any additional Red Joker symbols that land will increase the pace of the free spins and begin filling the meter that sits at the top of the reels. Once the meter is full, the timer resets to 10 seconds and the meter starts over. During this time the pace of the free spins will increase dramatically.
The Green Joker feature is a classic wheel that appears and is then filled with coin wins and two large booster segments containing multipliers and Red Jokers. Wins will increase by hitting the multipliers while hitting the same booster section three times will end the wheel and trigger the Red Joker Free Spins feature to deliver potentially epic wins.
James Marshall, CEO of Push Gaming, said: “With Joker Troupe we have taken the classic Joker game and given it the Push Gaming treatment. The result is a highly volatile, highly thrilling online slot that delivers tremendous big win potential via three compelling features.
“We have added additional emphasis on sounds for this game, as well as the inclusion of our new Hyper ModeTM feature, to create a highly engaging and entertaining online slot that we believe will enjoy the same success as our previous chart toppers like Jammin’ Jars and Razor Shark.”

ICONIC21 launches slot series starting with Stellar Fruits 40

Provider’s Stellar Fruits series promises classic slots but with modern gameplay, with a unifying theme that combines juicy fruits and cosmic energy
ICONIC21, the in-demand iGaming content provider, has launched the first title in what will be a flagship game series, Stellar Fruits.
The first game in the series is Stellar Fruits 40 and promises classic fruit action combined with cosmic energy for an out-of-this-world player experience.
Stellar Fruits 40 is all about timeless design colliding with bold and modern gameplay, with the slot set across five reels and four rows with 40 paylines active in the base game.
Players need to strap in and hold tight as the gameplay hits fast with plenty of big win potential on the cards with each spin.
Players watch as juicy symbols (think cherries, grapes, watermelons and more) land on the reels alongside stars and those all-important 7s.
The red hot 7 is Wild and fuels epic win combinations by replacing all other symbols except the golden Star scatter.
The golden Star scatter can land anywhere on the reels, and no matter where it lands, it pays big – the max win potential for Stellar Fruits 40 is 1,000x.
Stellar Fruits 40 hits the market on 29 April and will be followed by three other titles in the series – Stellar Fruits, Stellar Fruits 20 and Stellar Fruits 100.
The main difference between each game is the number of paylines, which vary from 5 all the way up to 100 and impact the max win hit frequency of each title.
Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “The Stellar Fruits series will deliver four iconic classic slot games to our operator partners and their players, starting with Stellar Fruits 40.
“This is a slot that combines the nostalgia of a traditional fruit machine with bold and striking design and modern gameplay that ramps up the anticipation with every spin.
“By launching a game series, we can offer our partners a unique run of proven content that players will instantly recognise each time a new title lands in their lobby, driving engagement.
