Week 37/2020 slot games releases
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
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.

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.

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.
