Here are this weeks latest slots releases!

Mobile-first games developer OneTouch has launched its latest sizzling slot, Flexing Dragons. The game invites courageous players to set the reels alight, with each cascading dragon-themed symbol bringing a different number of ways to win, up to a searing maximum of 117649. Flexing Dragons’ thrilling Free Games turn up the heat by triggering a cumulatively increasing multiplier, which is added to any prizes won during the following spin or avalanche. The title’s buy-in feature, which is configurable in compliance with local regulation, also allows players to purchase Free Games instantly.

Nolimit City is proud to announce their latest premium title with the release of Buffalo Hunter. Inspired by the great American plains of the wild outback, Buffalo Hunter utilises one of the most iconic beasts featured in several well-known, beloved slot games and ramps up the potential in classic Nolimit fashion. With a potential of well over 12,000x in simulated average win return, Buffalo Hunter is another extreme volatile game in the studios 2020 charts. Buffalo Hunter boasts a stylistically mesmerising slot theme, offering a 5×4 reel area that holds 40 win-lines and has powerful features as the mighty buffalo himself.

Quickspin has exhibited Ghost Glyph, a feature-packed and colourful cluster slot. This ghost game features dark themes with humor, including a fun haunted house. It is the second installment in the Glyph series. Ghost Glyph is a 7×7 grid, cluster-pay slot reinforced with tons of inventive ideas. Along with the clusters, the medium volatility game has a 31% hit rate in the base game. Winnings can go up to 2000x.

Spearhead Studios introduces its second video slot and first history-inspired title, Teutoburg. The new game is themed around the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, an event which took place in the 9th century when an alliance of Germanic tribes ambushed and destroyed three Roman legions. Teutoburg’s key feature are the mystery symbols which reveal high paying German or Roman cavalry, archers or infantry symbols. These mystery prizes land frequently in the base game, and on every free spin. If the mystery prizes reveal enough German symbols, and land next to any Roman ones, an ambush occurs, to the delight of the players. The embattled Romans are either converted into Germans or Multiplying Wilds to create huge win potential. Free spins can retrigger and when they do, the number of mystery prizes increases making it obvious to players how huge wins can be potentially achieved.

Game studio RubyPlay has announced the launch of their brand new slot, Shake Shake Leprechaun, a sister game to the popular Shake Shake Money Tree. The fun-filled Irish-themed game is packed with great features, prizes and of course, Irish luck. There is a rainbow that is filled with coins, prizes and super rewards that shower down on you as you play. Shake Shake Leprechaun is a 5-reel, 4-row slot and as you play, lucky coins that promise generous prizes collect on the rainbow. Then, at random the Lucky Leprechaun lets you shake the rainbow and the coins shower down onto the reels to reward wilds, cash prizes, multipliers and free spins.

Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has released Ultra Hold and Spin, a classic slot experience with a twist. The 3×3 title, developed in partnership with Reel Kingdom, has a fun and fast gameplay where players aim to collect a stack of three Bonus Coin symbols to trigger the Free Spins round. During the “Hold and Spin” round, Silver Coins have a value of between 1-9x a player’s stake, and Gold Coins can pay out up to x20 the bet. These Coins remain fixed on the reels for the duration of the Free Spins round, where the total of all Coin values is rewarded to the player. Should the Diamond Money symbol land, then a Coin can be worth up to 500x multiplied, leading to significant wins of up to 2,460x their stake.

Leading casino content developer Realistic Games has revamped one of its most popular titles with the network release of Super Graphics Game Changer. The original Super Graphics Upside Down continues to be one of the supplier’s top-ranking releases, spawning a series of slot and instant win games featuring the game’s well-loved anime theme and leading loveable character Satsuki. Realistic has now brought new levels of engagement to the 5-reel, 40-line slot with the addition of the Game Changer feature round, offering players the chance to win a staggering prize of up to 100,000x their bet on over four billion different feature board layouts.

Play’n GO are putting another new title into the market this week, with the release of the fun, feature-filled slot Octopus Treasure. Octopus Treasure gets its release on the back of an excellent week for the slot specialists. First with the hugely successful release of Golden Ticket 2, a sequel to the popular 2014 hit Golden Ticket, and then with their record third consecutive win at the 2020 Starlet Awards. They were awarded Mobile Supplier of the Year for the third time running, and it looks to be some time before they will be seriously challenged as one of the world’s top suppliers. With that in mind, Octopus Treasure looks set to be another triumph for Play’n GO with the game’s style and gameplay reminiscent of traditional land-based games, with plenty of appeal for fans of fast-paced, action-heavy titles.

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: Belatra has been a steady hand in the slots world for a long time, but 2025 marked a distinct shift in strategy. By entering the Crash vertical with Goose Boom Bang and winning big at SiGMA Africa, the studio is clearly pivoting to capture the high-growth, high-frequency players in emerging markets. They are no longer just a “classic slots” developer; they are diversifying the portfolio to ensure relevance in regions like LatAm and Africa.

The Full Story

Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has issued a strategic review of its 2025 operations, celebrating a 12-month period defined by entry into new game verticals, significant franchise expansion, and high-profile industry recognition.

The year was characterized by a dual strategy: deepening engagement in established markets while aggressively expanding its content portfolio to suit local preferences in emerging territories.

Portfolio Evolution: Crash and Battles 2025 saw Belatra move beyond its traditional slot roots. The company made its debut in the high-demand Crash game vertical with the launch of Goose Boom Bang, a title designed to tap into the fast-paced gameplay preference of younger demographics.

Additionally, the studio introduced a fresh game concept with the launch of Battles, a new format unveiled for the first time in 2025, with further development planned for 2026.

The ‘Mummyverse’ Expands For fans of classic slots, the highlight of the year was the aggressive expansion of the Mummyverse. Belatra nearly doubled the size of this franchise over the year, making it the most extensive game universe in their entire catalog.

The developer also focused on B2B localization, releasing a number of exclusive bespoke games created specifically for selected operator partners to meet specific local market tastes.

Awards and Recognition The company’s strategic shifts were validated by industry accolades. Belatra secured over 30 nominations throughout the year, with standout wins including:

Best Slot Provider (awarded by BitStarz).
Most Played Game of 2025 for Make It Gold at the SiGMA Africa Awards.
Player’s Pick Award.

Management Commentary Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, commented on the studio’s momentum:

“This year has truly defined who we are as a studio – ambitious, creative and focused on building long-term partnerships. We’ve expanded our universes, launched new ones and entered exciting new markets that will all help us carry this momentum into the New Year.”

‘Chaos and Soul’: Ebaka Games Plots Global Expansion After Viral Launch

‘chaos-and-soul’:-ebaka-games-plots-global-expansion-after-viral-launch

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: The “Instant Game” vertical (Crash, Plinko, Mines) is becoming crowded, but Ebaka Games is cutting through the noise with a distinct brand personality. By securing BMM Testlabs certification so quickly after launch, they are signaling to Tier 1 operators that despite their “chaotic” marketing vibe, the math underneath is solid and compliant. The backing of industry veteran Dmitry Belianin also adds immediate commercial credibility to the startup.

The Full Story

Ebaka Games, the fledgling studio that promises to bring “chaos and soul” to the iGaming sector, has outlined an aggressive growth strategy for 2026 following a landmark launch period in late 2025.

The studio, which officially debuted in November, reports that its initial rollout reached more than five million people worldwide. The launch saw its portfolio go live with the operator Menace, serving as the initial testbed for its mechanics and “Ebaka modes.”

The Product: Instant Games with Personality Ebaka is bypassing traditional slots to focus on the high-growth vertical of fast-paced, instant-win games. Their initial lineup includes:

Plinko
Mines
Tower
Limbo
Crash

Differentiation is achieved through unique mascots and signature gameplay tweaks designed to offer high win potential and distinct visual identities, moving away from the generic interfaces often found in this genre.

Regulatory Milestone Crucially for its 2026 roadmap, Ebaka Games has confirmed it has secured certification from BMM Testlabs. This accreditation validates the fairness and integrity of its RNG (Random Number Generator) and game engines, removing a major barrier to entry for regulated markets. With this certification in hand, the studio plans to launch with a number of “major brands” in the coming year.

Management Commentary Vitalii Zalievskyi, CEO of Ebaka Games, commented on the studio’s unorthodox approach:

“It’s only been a few weeks since we first introduced Ebaka Games to the world. The feedback has been breathtaking, and it vindicates the decision for us to take a different path to the rest of the industry. You don’t need huge marketing budgets to grab people’s attention if you are building something truly innovative.”

Industry Backing The studio describes itself as being “created by players for players” but boasts significant industry firepower in its corner. The team includes Dmitry Belianin, a well-known figure in the sector who is the co-founder of Blask and Menace, as well as Managing Partner at Already Media.

Racing Meets Nightlife: SBK Backs ARC’s New ‘Friday Night Live’ Series

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: British racing has a well-documented demographic problem; its core audience is aging. “Friday Night Live” is a direct attempt to fix this by blending high-stakes racing with the “experience economy” (DJs, nightlife vibes) that appeals to Gen Z and Millennials. Bringing SBK on board—a mobile-first, app-only sportsbook—is a perfect demographic fit, while the Racing Post adds the necessary credibility to ensure the actual racing product remains the focus.

The Full Story

Arena Racing Company (ARC) has unveiled the strategic commercial lineup for its upcoming Friday Night Live series, confirming SBK as the Exclusive Betting Partner and The Racing Post as the Official Media Partner.

Set to launch in January 2026, Friday Night Live is a new initiative created in collaboration with youth-focused events company INVADES. The series is designed to overhaul the traditional race day experience, featuring fast-paced fixtures under floodlights, DJ sets, and significant entertainment elements sandwiched between races.

The Commercial Deal

SBK: As the exclusive betting partner, the Smarkets-owned sportsbook will take naming rights and on-course branding for all 35 races. Crucially, these races will be broadcast live on mainstream television via ITV Racing as well as Sky Sports Research.
The Racing Post: As the Official Media Partner, the publication will provide content, coverage, and promotion across its digital platforms, aiming to bridge the gap between established racing purists and the new audience ARC hopes to attract.

A High-Stakes Experiment The series is not just a marketing exercise; it carries serious sporting weight. Each of the five scheduled nights will feature over £200,000 in prize money. The fixtures will rotate across three of ARC’s all-weather tracks: Wolverhampton, Newcastle, and Southwell.

Management Commentary David Leyden Dunbar, Group Director of Commercial Strategy at ARC, was clear about the target audience:

“We have been very clear that one of the aims of Friday Night Live is to engage the next generation of racing fans… Both [partners] have shown real enthusiasm to work with us… as well as using the platform that these fixtures will offer them to also engage with more established racing and sports fans.”

Adam Baylis, Marketing Director at SBK, added:

“Friday Night Live [is] a fresh and engaging concept that brings a new energy to British racing. SBK has always been built around sport… our focus is on enhancing the live race day experience in a fun, social and responsible way.”

The 2026 Schedule The series kicks off immediately in the new year:
