Lara Jones returns in a new quest to win ancient Egyptian treasures
Spearhead Studios announces the launch of Lara Jones is Cleopatra, new high volatility, innovative title, which sets its action inside the tomb of the famous Egyptian Queen. The game sees the alluring treasure explorer, Lara Jones, in her new adventure to entertain video slots fans.
Fresh from her adventures in the highly successful precursor game, The Book of SoulsTM, Lara Jones is on a new quest to discover the remarkable treasures hidden deep inside the tomb of Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra.
The game, which was developed using Spearhead Studios’s proprietary game development technology and tools, is optimised for mobile gameplay and is highly responsive across devices. The UI responds fluidly to the device orientation, and the file size is best-in-class for premium-quality games of this type. It is available in a wide range of currencies and languages and is certified for all major jurisdictions.
Kevin Corti, Game Development Director at Spearhead, comments: “Our internal team has excelled, once again, in producing this game. The math model is highly engaging, the artwork and visual are stunning, and the audio effects close to a cinematic experience. I am very proud of everyone who worked on Lara Jones is Cleopatra and I am extremely confident that players will love it”.
Mathias Larsson, Managing Director at Spearhead, says: “I am thrilled that we are bringing our lead character, from our top-performing game The Book of SoulsTM into our latest title, Lara Jones is Cleopatra. She will continue to star in upcoming titles, along with many other entertaining characters which we plan to introduce in the forthcoming months.
“Lara Jones is Cleopatra is our 4th game release of 2020, demonstrating that we are truly delivering high-quality games in rapid succession. In Q2, we will maintain this momentum, releasing a minimum of 5 new titles”.
Lara Jones is Cleopatra is a high volatility, 5×3 video slot with ten pay lines and a maximum win approaching 17,000X. The base game offers single-line wins of up to 3,000X and the Cleopatra Spin which, when triggered, sees all Queen, Jack and 10 symbols being replaced with the top-paying Cleopatra symbol potentially generating wins in excess of 1,000X. All base and feature wins can be entered into the Gamble Ladder to potentially increase them up to €30,000.
The appearance of three scatters in the base game will transport the player to deep inside Cleopatra’s tomb and grant them an initial ten free spins. During free spins, any wilds that land on the reels become Sticky Wilds for all subsequent free spins – including any retriggers – building a tremendous sense of excitement when the right symbols land. The game has a Return to Player (RTP) of 96.46%.

Games Global and Slingshot Studios expand Cashingo™ series with Eruption Blaze Cashingo™
Title pairs advanced Cashingo
experience with ULTRA Link&Win
enhancements
Games Global, together with its exclusive studio partner, Slingshot Studios, has released Eruption Blaze Cashingo
, bolstering the popular series with a feature-rich release, where jackpots up to 5,000x chart a path to 13,283x win potential.
Set against the backdrop of a lava-spewing volcano, every cash and jackpot coin that lands is added to the mirrored Cashingo
grid, with the value of all prizes paid out when a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row is completed.
Adding further variety to the action is the integrated ULTRA Link&Win
feature, which can be activated by landing six or more coins. The feature begins with three respins on a 5×5 reel set, with three extra rows initially locked. Keys can unlock additional rows, expanding the reels and increasing win potential.
Special Boosters can appear during the round, including Doublers that increase the value of up to four cash prize coins and Collectors that gather all visible cash coin values at once. Persistent versions of these boosters remain active, while Extra Life coins award an extra spin once the initial respins are exhausted.
Free Spins offer a change of pace and greater depth, with a Power Stacks
feature enhancing wild and coin symbols to elevate potential.
Eruption Blaze Cashingo
showcases Slingshot Studios’ continued refinement of the Cashingo
franchise, delivering an engaging, well-paced gameplay experience.
Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Our goal with Eruption Blaze Cashingo
was to take what players enjoy about Cashingo
and give it more room to develop.
“The combination of the Cashingo
and Power Stacks
mechanics introduces a dynamic element to the base game, and the enhanced ULTRA Link&Win
feature adds clear progression as the grid expands. We are delighted with how the experience comes together.”
David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy & Partner Management at Games Global, added: “Eruption Blaze Cashingo
is a strong addition to our portfolio and a great evolution of the Cashingo
concept. Cash and jackpot coins open up new ways for the game to build, while the updates to the ULTRA Link&Win
feature bring more variety to each round.
“Slingshot Studios has continued to grow the series in a way that feels natural and engaging.”

13 gambling company executives in appeal against ATG’s proposal to raise gambling tax in Sweden
BOS – The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling – is today submitting a letter to the government. The letter is signed by 13 gambling company executives and BOS’s secretary general. In the letter, the signatories urge the government not to support the gambling company ATG in their proposal to raise the general gambling tax in favour of a reduction in the tax on horse racing.
As a main argument, the signatories highlight the fact that the level of the gambling tax affects the proportion of consumers who choose to gamble on the legal licensed gambling market, and that too many consumers are already opting out of the safety of the licensed market with its extensive consumer protection.
“Horse betting has a channelisation rate of between 98-99 percent. Online casino, according to the most optimistic estimates, has a channelisation rate of between 72-82 percent. The higher the tax, the greater the risk that the consumer will choose unlicensed gambling, where neither gambling tax nor consumer protection exists. To then lower the gambling tax for horse betting, which already has a very strong channelisation, and raise it for online casino, which has a very weak channelisation, would be completely incomprehensible. At least for those who prioritize consumer protection,” says BOS Secretary General Gustaf Hoffstedt.
