Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has launched Ignis Rex, a fiery slot where classic fruit icons meet regal treasures.

Played on a 5×3 grid, the title blends the familiarity of traditional slot play with dynamic bonus features. Players will encounter gleaming Coins and the commanding King, who appears as a Sticky Wild symbol and oversees every spin. The Sticky Wild can land on any reel, locking in place for one to three respins to boost win potential. It substitutes for all symbols except Scatters and Coins.

The centrepiece of the action is the King’s Coins Bonus, activated when three or more Coin symbols land on the same row. The round starts with three spins, resetting whenever a new Coin appears. Each time at least one new Coin lands, all previously collected Coins on the grid double their values, rapidly boosting win potential. Once the feature ends, all visible coin values, which can grow far beyond their base range of x1 to x20, are combined for a potentially lucrative payout.

In the base game, unlocked coins award instant wins, and scatters on reels one, three, and five pay from any position.

With its polished visuals, accessible gameplay, and rewarding bonus rounds, Ignis Rex offers operators a versatile, high-performing addition to their portfolios, designed to engage both casual players and slot enthusiasts.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Ignis Rex takes the essence of classic slot gaming and elevates it with engaging features like sticky wilds, instant wins, and our King’s Coins Bonus.

“It’s a game built to be instantly familiar, yet full of moments that keep players coming back for more. By combining timeless mechanics with fresh twists, we’ve created a title that works for a wide audience and a variety of markets.”
