Industry’s first slot to showcase Instagram filters for game’s characters

Innovative game development studio Evoplay Entertainment has announced the launch of its immersive new slot title, Fluffy Rangers.

The game sees five charming forest friends compete for the prized title of ‘Knight of Rabbitland’ in an epic jousting contest set in a magical faraway forest.

Players enjoying the Tournament Free Spins Round are encouraged to collect all five Fluffy Rangers symbols, at which point Wild ranger symbols burst onto the reels for a thrilling chance to win big.

In an industry-first for social media marketing, the game’s lovable characters can also be used as face filters on Instagram for players in search of a fully interactive entertainment experience.

Packed full of engaging gameplay, stunning visual effects and pitch perfect sounds, the title marks the latest engaging addition to Evoplay Entertainment’s fast-growing 90+ portfolio of slots, table and instant games.

Commenting on the launch, Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay Entertainment said: “Players with a taste for adventure and all things adorable are invited to an action-packed jousting tournament in the magical forest of Rabbitland.

“We’ve continued to go from strength to strength in recent months with a rapidly expanding global fanbase and are delighted to showcase another industry first with Instagram filters for our game’s lovable characters. We can’t wait to see what our players make of it!”

Founded in 2017, the studio has continued to establish its credentials throughout 2020, having recently been shortlisted for ‘Mobile Supplier’ and ‘Software Rising Star’ at this year’s EGR B2B Awards for its launch of Dungeon: Immortal Evil in February.

Rogue Snail and Mad Mushroom moved the console release from June 2 to avoid Path of Exile’s Return of the Ancients update.

Hell Clock will launch on PlayStation 5 and XBox Series X|S on July 14, 2026, with its first major expansion, Cursed War, releasing the same day on consoles and Steam, according to Rogue Snail and publisher Mad Mushroom.

The date was disclosed during the Latin American Games Showcase alongside a new trailer focused on skills coming in Cursed War: youtu.be/cUWtDLd_u6Y.

Rogue Snail said the console edition and expansion were originally planned for a June 2 launch, but were shifted to avoid Path of Exile’s recent Return of the Ancients update.

Cursed War adds a new story act set during the Paraguayan War of 1864–1870, plus “over 10 new environments,” additional skills and relics, new bosses, and new endgame systems including Endless Nightmares and the full version of Ascension, the company said.

Hell Clock is set against a dark fantasy take on real Brazilian history, including the late 19th century War of Canudos, and is built around ARPG progression with roguelike run structure and build customization.

Each £2 line now plays twice per draw night, lifting overall prize odds to 1-in-4.9 and targeting 345 millionaires a year.

Allwyn will launch a new two-round format for the UK National Lottery’s Lotto on Wednesday 10 June, giving players two chances to win from a single £2 line. Tickets for the updated game went on sale Sunday 7 June.

Under the change, each line is automatically entered into two separate rounds on each Wednesday and Saturday draw night. Players still pick six numbers from 59, but two sets of six main numbers and a Bonus Ball will be drawn using two separate machines, meaning a single line can win in one round, the other, or both.

Allwyn said the update improves the odds of winning a prize from 1-in-9.3 to 1-in-4.9. The operator also said it expects the number of Lotto millionaires created each year to increase from around 140 to approximately 345, with jackpots still starting at £2M and rolling over up to five times before a must-be-won draw on the sixth.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, said, “This is a huge moment for players as we enter a new era for the nation’s millionaire maker, Lotto. From now on, every ticket gives you two chances to win for the same £2 price. We’re talking more winners, more excitement and hundreds more millionaires made every year. It really could be you – not once, but twice.”

Allwyn said the jackpot will be shared across both rounds, while other prize tiers remain fixed cash prizes paid per round. The Lotto HotPicks add-on will also shift to a two-round format and remain priced at £1.
