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.”

Study of 1,752 Big 5 league matches finds a 12-point uptime gap; live World Cup leaderboard to run during the tournament.

Bettormetrics has launched what it calls the first World Cup Trading Performance Benchmark, ranking sportsbooks on in-play market uptime ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The sports odds intelligence firm said it will publish a live World Cup leaderboard on its website during the tournament to track trading performance.

The benchmark measures operator uptime on the Total Goals market across 1,752 fixtures in the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1. Bettormetrics analysed 22 operators and published a Top 10, reporting a gap of more than 12 percentage points between the highest and lowest performers.

Tipico ranked first overall with 95.9% uptime, followed by Fanatics (95.3%) and Betsson (94.9%). Superbet (94.8%) and Betano (94.7%) rounded out the top five. Bettormetrics said Premier League fixtures generally delivered the highest availability across operators, while La Liga was “the key differentiator” and “consistently produced the lowest availability figures across the field.”

The results also highlighted regional shifts. Bettormetrics noted that none of bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes or Paddy Power made the Top 10, while Fanatics placed second overall as the highest-ranked US operator. It also flagged Pinnacle and SBOBET as ranking poorly on in-play availability in this analysis despite “strong reputations for pregame pricing and market depth.”

Sabin Brooks, CEO of Bettormetrics, said: “The World Cup represents one of the highest-risk and highest-opportunity periods in the sportsbook calendar. Small differences in uptime, trading performance and market availability can have a material impact on turnover, profitability and even reputation.

“The World Cup leaderboard will answer one simple question: which sportsbook performed best when it matters most?”
