Week 8/2020 slot games releases
Here are this weeks latest slots releases!
BGaming, a Belarus-based online solutions provider to casinos, has launched its new slot, called Avalon: The Lost Kingdom. It is based on a mythical tale about a magical island. BGaming has captured the essence of the story and brought it to life in 5х3 slot with 20 paylines and a wide choice of features like free spins, multipliers and bonus round. The wild symbol in the game replaces any symbol in the line and gives a player a higher chance of winning.
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.
Players head into the skies in search of big wins in Blueprint Gaming’s latest release Mighty Griffin Megaways™. The base gameplay features cascading wins and mystery symbols, which when landing in view transform to reveal the same random symbol for even more ways for players to find their fortune. Three or more Griffin Shield symbols in view triggers the Golden Streak free spins round, during which the win multiplier increases after every reaction. Before entering the round, players are given the opportunity to gamble for even more free spins by spinning the wheel.
Yggdrasil is inviting players to the world’s biggest carnival set in the vibrant streets of Rio De Janeiro in its latest title Brazil Bomba. Players can dance the night away in Brazil Bomba where symbols cascade down the 6×8 reels and every cluster of six or more identical symbols brings a win. Land a Bomb symbol and watch it explode across the reels in a star formation clearing up to 16 positions and giving players even more chances to win. Getting a Dropdown win or landing the Bomb feature triggers multipliers which have no cap, offering unlimited rewards. Trigger the generous Brazil Bomba free spin mode by landing 3 or more Free Spin symbols anywhere on the reels.
R. Franco Digital, R. Franco Group’s digital division, has announced the launch of its latest slot, TimeLab. Following a highly successful debut at ICE London, the title is now available for R Franco’s worldwide operator network, including Wanabet, the company’s online betting and gaming platform. The 5×3, 30-payline title takes players on an epic adventure through the ages, encountering a range of exhilarating wilds, respins, and bonuses along the way.
Pragmatic Play, has launched Mysterious, the most recent addition to its ever-expanding slot portfolio. The 4×6 video slot boasts 4096 ways to win, inviting players to grab the multipliers as they hunt the Lord. And with Mystery Symbols creating big wins when the Lady is encountered and the Baron summons Infectious Wilds, the game would be a fantastic addition to any operator’s suite of titles. Players choose their own free spins at the fateful hour, selecting roaming wilds or up to 12x the multiplier in this rip-roaring Victorian adventure.
Play’n GO have announced the latest title out of their stable, as part of their 52-game release year. Their latest slot, entitled Dawn of Egypt, is a 5-reel slot with a particular focus on powerful symbols, set in an alternate reality where ancient Egypt is ruled by the great god Ra. The slot suppliers are known for the quality of their Egyptian-themed games, a favourite among regular slot players, and this is their second Egpytian released following their 2020 debut Legacy of Dead.
Endorphina, the online slot game provider from Prague, is already about to release yet another game early this year. As we’ve recently heard, this ambitious slot provider will be releasing 3 brand new games in February alone. Now the time has come when the provider is releasing their SECOND February release. The new game is called Aus Dem Tal, the story of a brave dwarf with his little mouse friend who mines through outstanding caves full of ore to collect bronze, silver, and gold. It sounds like this slot will be a great adventure for players who seek to collect bigger wins hidden in mines of pure gold.
True Lab, a game provider within the True Flip group, presents its latest video slot with vivid arts and engaging bonus features. Hunting for treasures, Victoria has to conquer the drought-ridden desert. Whenever two Tornado Wilds drop out on the reels, a Sandstorm begins. A Wild then randomly moves across the reels and collapses into a thunderstorm of sticky Tornado re-spins if two Wilds match. Victoria collects the Oasis symbols, advancing to the chilling splashes and soft palm shadows where Oasis Free Spins cure her fatigue with the Waterfall Wilds expanding to an extra reel.
NetGaming, the creative casino games studio, has released its latest spectacular slot, Festival of Fortune. The 5×3, 15-payline title, created in celebration of Chinese New Year, sees a range of colourful symbols and inviting characters appear against an immersive traditional Far-Eastern background. Players enjoying good fortune can trigger the Lucky Lion Bonus where a feast of free spins await them, with the Mystery Replace feature allowing for up to 27 additional free spins. The game is the latest addition to NetGaming’s dynamic slot portfolio, which is available in 26 languages and can be played using more than 40 currencies.

Kambi Group plc extends Mohegan partnership with on-property sports betting agreement in Pennsylvania
Kambi Group plc (“Kambi”), the world’s trusted sports betting partner, has agreed a long-term on-property sportsbook partnership with Mohegan to provide its award-winning sportsbook at two retail locations in the state of Pennsylvania.
The partnership will see Mohegan utilise Kambi’s cutting-edge retail sportsbook offering across more than 20 kiosks in sportsbook locations at Mohegan Pennsylvania and Mohegan Pennsylvania at Lehigh Valley Race and Sportsbook.
The deal further strengthens Kambi’s relationship with Mohegan, which already utilises Kambi’s suite of sports betting products at ilani in Washington, as well as online and on-property in the Canadian province of Ontario at Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara.
Kristian Nylén, Kambi CEO and Co-founder, said: “With several successful partnerships with Mohegan already in place, we are pleased to agree this new partnership as we continue to build on our strong relationship.
“This latest deal further reinforces Kambi’s position as the sportsbook provider of choice for tribes across North America, and we look forward to our ongoing collaboration with Mohegan.”
Tony Carlucci, President & GM of Mohegan Pennsylvania, said: “Mohegan Pennsylvania is excited to continue utilising the same Kambi technology platform that existed under our Kindred partnership, which will help to create a seamless process as the Sportsbook at Mohegan Pennsylvania fully rebrands later this Spring.”
Blockchain
JuicyBet Launches Its Innovative GambleFi Platform
JuicyBet, a Web3 startup, announced the launch of its GambleFi platform. This platform combines finance technology and gambling via blockchain to create unique opportunities and experiences for users. The company strives to revolutionize the principles of the online betting industry and the interaction between platforms and users in this market.
What is GambleFi?
GambleFi uses blockchain technology to ensure the fairness and transparency of games and betting outcomes and for players to get their share of the platform’s earnings and participate in its governance and day-to-day by holding its tokens.
How JuicyBet works
JuicyBet fully utilizes blockchain technology to establish a new ecosystem that has never been seen in the gambling industry. It is centered around user participation and transparency while providing gambling thrills and quality entertainment.
All game records on the platform are kept in a public blockchain, while a set of smart contracts automates gaming outcomes and payouts and provides for the platform governance via the DAO model. This reduces fraud risks and operational costs, making JuicyBet a more efficient platform.
However, the platform’s main feature is the unprecedented level of user engagement via the platform’s native tokens.
- First, the tokens provide access to betting.
- Second, token holders get their share of the platform’s profit.
- Third, token holders can vote on key decisions on the platform’s development in JuicyBet DAO.
- And finally, DAO participants can also perform the role of oracles for bets and earn rewards.
In other words, JuicyBet doesn’t try to be just another gambling platform. It establishes a new ecosystem where users are in control of the platform and bets and are the beneficiaries of the platform.
In addition, JuicyBet offers additional earning opportunities, such as Double Farming and staking for token holders.
JuicyBet has already been noticed by users and investors – the platform’s 3-month turnover has exceeded $1,5 million, according to on-chain data available via Dune, and multiple centralized exchanges and launchpads have listed it.

Rivalry Announces 2023 Annual Letter to Shareholders and Filing of 2023 Annual Financial Statements
Rivalry Corp. (the “Company” or “Rivalry”) (TSXV: RVLY) (OTCQX: RVLCF) (FSE: 9VK), the leading sportsbook and iGaming operator for Gen Z, is pleased to announce its 2023 annual letter to shareholders and the filing of its financial results for the three (3) and 12-month period ended December 31, 2023. All dollar figures are quoted in Canadian dollars.
2023 Annual Letter to Shareholders
To our Shareholders,
This time last year I spoke about Rivalry’s evolution from a market leader in esports to a diversified Company setting the standard for Gen Z betting entertainment broadly.
Today, we have a business with revenue distribution across casino, sports, and esports betting, growing market share in new geographies, with increased velocity in core regions, and the strongest customer KPIs in Rivalry’s history.
In 2023, Rivalry recorded $423.2 million in betting handle1, up 82% from the previous year. Similarly, gross gaming revenue2 and net revenue both saw 34% and 66% respective increases, while the introduction of higher margin products released in H2 such as Same Game Combos and Quick Combos are continuing to improve overall sportsbook hold and guide Rivalry closer to profitability.
Our deepened product suite now includes fantasy, additional sports coverage, and new proprietary casino games. All of which are uniquely driving growth among a targeted customer segment and widening our opportunity set in 2024 and beyond – from a 60% increase in traditional sports betting to a burgeoning B2B game vertical. The potential for how far our brand can go is just beginning to unfold.
The year ahead is rife with new, innovative product releases arriving in Q2 and continuing throughout 2024. We are doubling down on core growth opportunities in sports that resonate with our audience, such as basketball and soccer. Further, we are building on a successful casino segment which already represents 50% of our business, enhancing variety, depth, and accessibility, as well as developing new original games which blur the lines between betting and entertainment. We are in the process of additional geographic expansion, and pursuing new licenses to broaden our total addressable market, positioning Rivalry to own the Gen Z gambling opportunity globally.
While Rivalry’s operations have expanded into new high-growth verticals, our north star has remained the same: to define the future of online gambling for a generation born on the internet.
Online gambling in 2024 is radically different than it was just six years ago when Rivalry launched. In that time we’ve seen gaming and internet culture reshape how consumers engage with technology. That shift is broadening the definition of gambling, where product design is influenced by video games, or it exists fully embedded within social apps like Telegram, where content creators are the new affiliates, and much more.
Over the same period, the rise of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology has introduced a new level of speed, access, and security to web-based consumer experiences. Industry estimates now put crypto wagers at up to one quarter of global betting handle3, with 30% year-over-year growth in 20244, and showing no signs of slowing down.
The development of this ecosystem has commercially unlocked online gambling unlike anything since its first transition from land to online many years ago. It has brought in a new global audience, and enriched the customer experience from end-to-end.
Alongside the growth of this technology has emerged new methods of gambling, taking wallet share from more traditional forms at an accelerated rate. The shift in consumer behavior and the signal from our users is clear – interactive, volatile, and crypto-infused product experiences will set the precedent for how the next generation gambles online.
Rivalry, with a brand steeped in internet culture and living at the intersection of this digital economic renaissance, is well-positioned to access this growth opportunity. There is high overlap between Gen Z, gamers, gamblers, and a fast-growing audience of over 420 million crypto users worldwide5 organically aligned with our audience and brand. And we believe that more than half of this audience globally is already wagering with crypto.
It will be Rivalry’s ability to understand, implement, and adapt to this shift more rapidly than our peers that we expect to create first-mover advantages for us. It is for that reason that our vision is now bolder than ever for what’s possible in the online gambling category.
Soon, we will reveal plans for a crypto-enabled product set to enhance alignment between Rivalry and its users, increase network effects, and generally deliver a consumer experience that lives on the internet of 2024.
To that effect, the success of our first-party games and their ability to acquire and engage a captive audience of Gen Z bettors online has validated our original game development strategy amongst industry peers. This has unlocked a new commercial opportunity for Rivalry to license its IP, opening up another line of revenue for the business that has great potential for global scale.
The year ahead is poised to be one of our most ground-breaking, with a myriad of innovative product releases across all of Rivalry’s verticals, adding more dimension to our business, operations, and addressable audience, and building on our competitive moat as the market leader in Gen Z betting entertainment.
We look forward to sharing more details about these upcoming initiatives, the opportunities they will unlock for our Company, and delivering on our promise to create long-term shareholder value and reach profitability. Thank you all for your continued support.
