Golden Hero releases Raigeki Rising X30
Golden Hero’s latest game is a 3-reel slot elevated with pachinko mathematics – a perfect combo for players around the world.
On 28 September, Golden Hero released their latest online casino slot, Raigeki Rising X30. As many of their games, Raigeki Rising X30 merges the traditional slot games with popular Japanese Pachislo giving the mechanics of the game an extra twist.
Game play and features
The game is easy to understand and has a captivating space theme with upbeat music that creates a fast pace with high expectations. The game has a new exciting reel format with only 7 symbols and 6 paylines and it has a very high payout of up to 9000 times your bet and with infinite chances of retriggering as long as you get a symbol win.
What is Pachislo and Pachinko?
Pachislo machines are very popular in Japan and are derived from the old Japanese game Pachinko. In Pachinko players have to guide metal balls through something that looks like a traditional pinball machine. Pachinko are played in parlors and are extremely popular in Japan. As gaming is still illegal players receive metal balls that they can trade for goods and cash.
Pachislo is the younger sibling of Pachinko. They look like regular slot machines but the main features make them very different from a regular slot. They usually come with an animated story that develops and changes based on the outcome of the reels and are played with tokens rather than metal balls.
Golden Hero’s Pachislos
Golden Hero has teamed up with JTG, Japan Technical Games, to develop and introduce Pachislos to the online casino world. They may look like regular slots, but the similarities end with the number of reels. The player experience is far from regular as the games are packed with extra features as well as graphics and animations accompanied by music and audio effects that set them apart and lift the experience.
Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Golden Hero, has high expectations on the game release. “Raigeki Rising X30 offers more than a traditional player experience.”, he says and continues, “These games offer increased player sessions and spiced with free round offers they become a unique tool for both acquisition and retention.”

Esportes da Sorte transforms Carnival 2026 into a nationwide immersive experience
Leading Brazilian iGaming company Esportes da Sorte has transformed Carnival 2026 into a nationwide immersive experience, activating urban art installations, hydration stations and large‑scale attractions across nine cities in Brazil. As part of its expanded cultural engagement strategy, the brand is serving as an official sponsor in key Carnival locations and delivering experiential initiatives designed for revelers in the streets and major public spaces.
Esportes da Sorte’s nationwide platform builds on its history of investing in popular culture and public events, moving beyond traditional branding to create meaningful on‑site activations that enhance the urban environment and respond to the unique character of each city’s Carnival celebrations.
In Rio de Janeiro, the company’s efforts focus on the street Carnival experience with hydration points, cool zones and shaded areas in high‑traffic celebration routes. São Paulo’s megabloc circuits feature water trucks, hydration stations and on‑site urban support.
In Recife Antigo, one of Carnival’s cultural centers, Esportes da Sorte installed a standout Ferris wheel at Marco Zero, offering panoramic views of the festivities and historic landscape. Urban transformations like video mapping on iconic buildings and aerial installations along Rua Marquês de Olinda further blend public space with the Carnival experience.
Other cities such as Olinda and Salvador also feature tailored activations, including sensory design, refreshment tunnels and themed artistic displays that align with local traditions and festival dynamics.
In addition to physical structures, the initiative includes a robust communications strategy, sensory activations, public well‑being supports and content campaigns that amplify the carnival‑street experience across digital and traditional media.
According to Germana Casal, Production Coordinator at the Esportes Gaming Brasil Group, the goal is to “be present in a meaningful way at the country’s biggest popular celebration,” respecting each city’s identity and delivering initiatives that improve the Carnival experience for participants.
Esportes da Sorte’s Carnival 2026 project builds on the brand’s presence at more than 100 Carnival parties and street blocos in 2025, reinforcing its leadership role in Brazil’s largest cultural event and deepening its connection with urban celebration culture nationwide.
