Game live on iSoftBet network following record-breaking exclusive period with operators

iSoftBet, the leading online and mobile casino content provider, has released the thrilling Western Gold Megaways to its network, following a successful exclusive period with operators.

Brands including Betsson, Stoiximan, Softswiss and 10cric have had exclusive access to the game before being rolled out to the iSoftBet network. The game proved incredibly popular with Betsson players, leading to Western Gold Megaways taking the crown as its most successful exclusive partner launch ever.

This new Megaways title, set in a frontier town of the Wild West, features classic cascading wins as well as a random “Max Megaways” modifier which can trigger at any time, guaranteeing the maximum number of 117,649 ways and a shot at multiple cascading wins.

Western Gold is the much-anticipated follow-up to smash hit Aztec Gold and is the sixth Megaways licensed title to be released by iSoftBet so far in 2020, with more exciting collaborations to come.

Five or more Sheriff’s Badge symbols awards the Western Gold Cash Respins, where cash values or one of three jackpots can land. Every time more scatters land on the reels, the respins will reset and if an entire reel is filled with Sheriff’s Badges, all values on that reel are multiplied by the number of symbols on the reel to produce some epic wins.

Mark Claxton, Head of Games at iSoftBet, said: “Western Gold Megaways transports players to the badlands of the frontier in a dash to find riches while enjoying a thrilling gaming experience.

“Featuring the popular Megaways mechanic as well as a Hold and Win bonus round, players have the chance to win enormous sums in the Wild West town where the Sheriff rewards good behaviour. We can’t wait to see how it is received by our fans across the globe.”

Ciara Nic Liam, Product Director GOC at Betsson, said: “Western Gold Megaways has been one of our most successful exclusive releases in 2020. We are delighted to have been one of the first partners to get access to such an exciting game, and our players absolutely love it. We look forward to working closer with iSoftBet on their upcoming releases.”

iSoftBet is a leader in compliance, licensed in 18 regulated markets worldwide, providing brands with the highest quality casino games and maximum speed to market.

Pragmatic Play, a leading iGaming content provider, has rolled out Jelly Express, a vibrant new slot where a gummy bear conductor leads a locomotive through a colourful candy-coated world.

Set across 6×5 reels, the game delivers a lively experience filled with rewarding mechanics. Players can win by landing 8 to 12+ matching symbols anywhere on the grid, with base game payouts reaching up to 50x. Adding extra sweetness, candy train wilds boost wins with multipliers of up to 100x.

The excitement ramps up when three coin scatter symbols trigger the bonus round, offering players a choice between six different feature options. Each option provides a unique mix of free spins (up to 25) and wild multipliers (up to 100x), while a mystery pick adds an extra layer of unpredictability.

During the feature, landing an additional scatter can activate Super Free Spins, where wild multipliers are collected by the candy train above the reels. This cumulative multiplier is then applied to future wins involving wilds, unlocking a maximum win potential of up to 5,000x.

In selected markets, players can also take advantage of special bet options, including increased chances of triggering free spins, guaranteed wilds on every spin, or enhanced win potential with minimum 10x wild multipliers that stack during tumbles.

Jelly Express is the latest addition to Pragmatic Play’s growing portfolio.

The move continues RubyPlay’s steady expansion across the US, following successful entries into New Jersey and Delaware. As the company builds momentum in regulated markets, the US remains a central pillar of its growth strategy, with plans to enter Pennsylvania in the near future.

“Our launch in West Virginia reflects RubyPlay’s ongoing commitment to expanding across regulated US markets,” said Dima Reiderman, Chief Commercial Officer at RubyPlay.
“Each new state allows us to strengthen our commercial presence while building valuable partnerships with leading operators.
