ThunderSpin’s Halloween slot is set to scare the competition stiff
The world-class independent game studio, ThunderSpin, has launched a ‘spooktacular’ slot to entertain players and boost operator income in one frighteningly fun game, Halloween Witch Party.
As the season of the witch approaches ThunderSpin’s new 5-reel, 4-row video slot has been designed to appeal to players of all ages and genders across the world with the game coinciding with the launch of the brand’s new sports betting and casino site OLE!bet.
Confirming the commercial nature of its latest holiday-themed title, Jeff Letlat, CEO of ThunderSpin, explained: “As the name reflects, this game was created especially for the spookiest event of the year – Halloween! Linking games to events and celebrations such as Halloween is highly impactful to operators’ income with numbers growing dramatically around these titles. For us, it’s about diversifying our portfolio to have different games associated with different holidays resulting in strong percentage uplifts for operators and crucially, creating engaging gameplay for players.”
Halloween Witch Party joins ThunderSpin’s other high-quality modern slots linked to specific events and celebrations and full game portfolio, including Kingdom of Glory and Book of Treasures, providing high rewards for both players and operators throughout the calendar year.
The company’s latest game is played with 25 fixed winning lines, 1 bet level (fixed) equals 10 coins and different coin value as well as a maximum win per spin of 1000x bet. In addition to seasonal special symbols and a ghostly Avalanche Feature there are also multiple themed bonuses to ensure exciting and engaging gameplay centred around the Halloween theme.
ThunderSpin’s renowned game studio of 20 highly-skilled developers in Easter Europe undertake significant R&D to ensure its games are adaptable for different regions making them suitable across multiple markets. “We select universally popular themes,” he added. “As targeting specific cultures only would limit our growth opportunities. We prefer ‘products’ of popular culture. We develop game mechanics with interesting and popular features to reach the market and audience as fast and as wide as possible. We aim to elaborate diversity in portfolio, so anyone could find a game due to his/her preferences.
“With Halloween Witch Party, we wanted to focus on players who are aware of Halloween’s visual themes and ideas such as pumpkins and ghosts but whilst also using recognisable themes which appeal across the world.”
Corresponding with the Q3 release of its latest slot, ThunderSpin will also be debuting its sports betting and casino site OLE!bet, signalling a strong commitment to the future of betting in the face of COVID-19 restrictions across the LatAm region. “We debated pushing the launch backwards because of COVID but decided to push forward once sports events started again,” added Letlat. “While there will be an initial minor difference of no offline audiences for our platform, OLE!bet’s focus is on sportsbook and offering great odds. We are confident that in line with the target market, the product offers an all-in-one solution, which is what modern users demand.”
The OLE!bet sportsbook and casino brand offers a wide range of various sport and casino games, and the best service for its clients from all over the world resulting in a uniquely positioned platform for one of the strongest emerging markets in gaming. “LatAm is growing,” concluded Letlat. “As a region it has been hugely underestimated during recent years and now it is booming. Our website features the latest software, great promotions and a carefully selected collection of finest games which players should also check out while trying their luck on our latest release Halloween Witch Party which is available on OLE!bet just in time for the spookiest season.”

Bizarre
Nolimit City breaks into the lab of a mad scientist in its latest release, Bizarre
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Have you ever seen a banana and an ostrich fused together to form the ultimate creature? In Nolimit City’s latest release, Bizarre, peek into the window of Dr. Bizarre’s wild experiments. This slot falls under the eccentric category of Nolimit City slots such as Munchies, Outsourced and Ugliest Catch.
Reel Area
The farm has been… busy. Bizarre plays out on a 4-4-4-4-4 layout across 5 reels, with a number of variations of xSplit® that can land as either a single symbol or as a 4-row-high symbol, which may appear partially or fully visible. When it lands it splits all symbols on the same row, doubles its size and acts as a Wild symbol after doing so.
Chimera Spins
Dr. Bizarre’s breakthrough experiments begin here. Landing 3 Scatter Symbols will trigger 3 Chimera Spins where a scatter on the middle of the reel will transform into a Wild that remains sticky throughout the feature.
Before the bonus round begins, the middle reels spin individually. During this spin Wild symbols, extra spin symbols or empty symbols can land. When Wild or extra spin symbols land then it stays on its position and a respin is awarded. This continues until new extra spin or Wild symbols land.
If Wild symbols land then it will remain sticky throughout the feature. If a Wild is split by an xSplit® symbol then it gets a multiplier that also remains sticky for the entire feature.
Super Chimera Spins
Funding groundbreaking monstrosities isn’t cheap. Landing 2 Scatter Symbols and a Super Scatter in the base game will trigger 3 Super Chimera. In addition to Chimera Spins features, all Scatter Symbols will transform into Wild symbols and will remain sticky throughout the Super Chimera Spins.
Coinage
To take his experiments to the next level Dr. Bizarre needs to collect some coins. In Coinage, only coins with the multiplier values and special symbols can land. If any positions are empty after a spin then a respin is awarded. When the feature ends, the sum of all the multiplier values are added before multiplying the base bet. The coin values are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000.
Special symbols can land during Coinage:
- Collector – Collects the total value of all visible coins and removes them. The used Collector remains on the reel and if another Collector lands it will also collect the value of the previous Collector.
- xSplit® – Splits all coins and Collectors on its row and doubles their values.
- Scatters – When 3 Scatters are collected, it triggers Chimera Spins after the Coinage feature ends. If one of the 3 Scatters is a Super Scatter, it will trigger Super Chimera Spins.
Extra Spin
Extra Spin is back! When Chimera Spins or Super Chimera Spins are triggered, players might get the opportunity to purchase an additional spin at the end of the round. The additional spin will keep the Wild symbol along with its multiplier value of the previous spin. The cost of the spin will be calculated based on the Wild symbol multipliers. If the cost of the Extra Spin is less than or equal to the total win, then the Extra Spin opportunity will be presented.
Nolimit Boosters
The final phase of Dr. Bizarre’s experiments are quite the sight to behold, especially with these Nolimit Boosters:
- xBoost – guaranteed a Scatter symbol on the second reel. The guaranteed Scatter might be a Super Scatter. (3 times more likely to hit Chimera/ Super Chimera Spins).
- Bonus Hunt – 49 times more likely to activate Chimera Spins/Super Chimera Spins. During this mode, only Scatters or empty symbols can land with a maximum of 1 Super Scatter.
The monsters are now Dr. Bizarre’s rise to fame. Bizarre has a maximum payout of 20,000x the base bet. Bizarre is rated as “Extremely Volatile” delivering the thrilling high-stakes gameplay that Nolimit City fans know and love.
Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “Mixing animals with fruits is something we like to talk about on a daily basis at Nolimit City. Dr. Bizarre is a crazy mofo with ambitions of fame and power. Chimera Spins and Coinage are features we’ve developed specifically for this game and hope that players will enjoy these freaky experiments”
‘Bizarre’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on November 18th, 2025.

The fragmented sports broadcast landscape: Why accuracy is everything
Reading Time: 3 minutes
For better or worse, the modern sports fan has never had more ways to watch their favourite events.
From traditional TV broadcasts to regional streaming platforms, geo-blocked services, and pop-up channels, the landscape has become a complex mosaic that is extremely tricky to get a firm handle on.
While abundance offers choice, it presents a significant challenge for industry stakeholders – particularly sports betting content sites – who rely on pinpoint accuracy to maintain user trust and integrity.
Maintaining a clear, accurate, and consistent view of which broadcast partner is showing what, where and when, is not only difficult; it’s a mission-critical, full-time operation. This is precisely the problem the Televised & Streamed Sports (TSS) service is able to solve.
Piecing together a global puzzle
The core issue here is fragmentation. What was once a relatively simple matter of listing a game being shown on a major channel has spiralled into an intricate jigsaw puzzle in every corner of the world. A single high-profile match might be split across multiple broadcasters, even within one territory. Streaming giants like Amazon Prime might secure a selection of specific games, while other fixtures in the same competition remain on traditional pay TV.
This issue is compounded by a series of factors:
Regional rights: The same competition is often broadcast on completely different networks in different countries. A game on DAZN UK is not necessarily on every other global DAZN feed.
Tailored needs: Clients now require listings far into the future for forward scheduling, or hyper-specific coverage tailored only to one sport from one regional competition.
The rise of niche platforms: Even non-traditional players like YouTube and social media platforms are buying up niche or partial rights, adding moving parts to an already complicated system.
For an affiliate site to manually source and verify every data point across various regions and platforms would require a major, continuous investment in human capital and infrastructure. It’s a burden that few can realistically sustain to guarantee real-time accuracy while retaining operational efficiencies.
Accuracy as the foundation of trust
For any partner, going from a large betting operator to a content-focused platform like FANZO or OneFootball, accuracy is the absolute, non-negotiable foundation of their product integrity proposition. Users reasonably expect to know exactly where and how to watch a live event, and they expect that information to be correct every single time.
If a content site provides a single incorrect listing or misses a crucial stream, it directly damages its credibility and erodes user trust, which is the lifeblood of any competitive industry. Precision is paramount. This commitment to accuracy is why we have evolved the TSS solution from a basic broadcast listings tool into a comprehensive global data service.
Vigorous verification is essential. Every piece of data at TSS goes through a rigorous confirmation process, combining manual data collection from multiple official sources with expert oversight and extended validation checks. Real-time alerts within the TSS system allow our specialist team members, each with expertise in specific regions, to quickly identify and resolve broadcast changes – which might include postponements, channel swaps or late announcements of coverage – as they happen.
By accessing a client’s API, TSS can map events directly to their own event IDs, ensuring all data aligns perfectly with internal systems, thus dramatically reducing the need for time-consuming reconciliation.
Localisation is key
While sport is global, broadcasting is inherently local. An accurate data solution must be designed with this in mind. TSS localises its service for every region we cover, ensuring that listings, providers, and content are tailored to the local audience and rights holders.
This means accounting for regional broadcasters, in terms of knowing which channel has the specific rights in the UK, Italy, or Brazil, for example. It also means ensuring that start times are correct for the end-user’s geography, and adopting local naming conventions, ensuring instant recognition of a competition in that market.
It’s also crucial to offer a layer of flexibility. We work with clients to fulfil specific, ad-hoc channel requests based on their unique commercial deals with broadcasters. This ensures their end-users see the content advertised on the channels relevant to that specific partnership, all while remaining true to the underlying, verified broadcast reality. This localisation and flexibility layer makes TSS feel completely native in every market it serves, from Europe and South America to Australia and New Zealand.
Easing the burden
Without a dedicated product like TSS, clients would face major, resource-intensive challenges in sourcing, verifying, and standardising their own data. They would be forced to conduct weekly, or even daily, checks on fragmented global rights, a task that has become logistically nightmarish.
The TSS solution removes this enormous burden. By gathering verified data from trusted sources across thousands of broadcasts annually and delivering it in a consistent, easy-to-integrate format, it provides our clients with a single source of truth in an increasingly fragmented environment. In essence, Abelson Sports turns what would otherwise be a constant risk of data inaccuracy and user churn into a clear, reliable, and scalable competitive advantage.
