Microgaming launched Diamond Inferno, the latest online slot developed exclusively by Triple Edge Studios.

The game starts as a five-by-three, 20-payline slot filled with fiery graphics and intuitive gameplay. Diamond Inferno raises the heat with a multiplier trail, expanding reels, respins and diamond scatter wins.

On each win, a free respin is awarded as the play area expands by one row, adding ten additional paylines with each expansion. Diamond Inferno can expand up to an astonishing five-by-six reel grid with 50 paylines. Each win offers the chance for a bigger reel set and even greater win potential.

Once the entire five-by-six reel grid is unlocked, players embark on Diamond Inferno’s epic multiplier trail. A rocking soundtrack sets the reels ablaze as players reach the pinnacle of the inferno with wins multiplied up to 10x.

Filled with classic casino icons, including fiery sevens, golden bars and lucky dice, Diamond Inferno comes packed with diamond scatters. Landing three or more diamond scatter symbols awards players with further wins, all multiplied by the total bet. As the reels open up, so does the chance to land these valuable gems.

Ahead of Diamond Inferno’s network-wide release, Microgaming held its first exclusive operator tournament, providing Betsson Group staff with the opportunity to experience the game and battle it out for a top spot on the Diamond Inferno leaderboard for a chance to win fiery cash prizes. Matthias Wachter, one of the tournament winners, described the game as “very exciting”, adding: “With every spin, I was excited to go all the way up to the multipliers. The Diamond feature is simply awesome, as you can make big wins. Also, the respin feature is a great idea – personally I think that this feature is better than a bunch of free spins. Overall awesome game!”

Set the reels on fire with Diamond Inferno, now available exclusively to Microgaming operators.

“With exciting mechanics, rocking music and a thrilling gameplay experience, Diamond Inferno is sure to delight and excite players. The expanding reels, multiplier trail and unlimited respin potential offer the chance for tremendous wins, whilst the eye-catching graphics provide all the makings of a hit slot game.” – Andrew Booth, Director of Games at Microgaming.

Modernization adds Momentum ecosystem tools and rolls out new terminals and self-service machines to 1,000+ retailers statewide.

Scientific Games has completed a technology systems conversion for the New Mexico Lottery, modernizing lottery operations with a new gaming system and rolling out retail technology to more than 1,000 locations across the state. The update went live May 11, 2026, according to the company.

Scientific Games said the new system now powers the Lottery’s draw-based and Scratchers’ sales and is designed to simplify product management for retailers.

“The New Mexico Lottery is officially live with new, modern technology systems that work together to enhance all aspects of our operations and ensure we are well-positioned for our next era of growth,” said David Barden, CEO of the New Mexico Lottery. “We’ve strategically planned every step of this holistic modernization effort with Scientific Games to intelligently operate our retail network, making our Scratchers games easier for retailers to manage in their stores and easily accessible to our valued players.”

Scientific Games said the conversion was developed over the past year and is built on its Momentum ecosystem. Components cited include an advanced central gaming system, the SciTrak instant game distribution system, the gem | intelligence retailer licensing and management portal and the INFUSE business intelligence platform. The company said WAVE clerk-operated terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines will be deployed to retailers in planned phases.

“Congratulations to the New Mexico Lottery for building upon our long-standing instant scratch game partnership, embracing innovation for the future,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “We are proud to serve as the Lottery’s full-line partner and help drive maximum proceeds for New Mexico college students.”
