Developer has collaborated with Hurricane Games on African themed slot that roars thanks to a generous free spins bonus feature

Stakelogic and development partner, Hurricane Games, are taking players to the sandy plains of the African desert with Serengeti Wilds, one of the first slots to launch via the developer’s Greenlogic® Program.

Serengeti Wilds is a 5×4 reel, 25 payline video slot that captures the spirit and magic of an African safari. The game boasts a smart cascading reel mechanic which is combined with a number of features that roar with big win potential.

This includes a Free Spins bonus round that is triggered when three or more Scatter symbols pounce onto the reels. There are four animal trials to follow during the bonus which are completed by winning animal symbols in a line win.

When the trail is complete, the related animal symbol turns Wild and two more Free Spins are awarded. All four animal trails can be completed during the feature, providing mega win potential.

If that wasn’t enough to get players excited, they also have the option to buy the Free Spins feature (in applicable markets). The three Scatter symbols required to trigger the bonus can be purchased for a cost multiplier of x100 – a €0.25 wager would equate to a €25 purchase price.

The frankly wild action does not stop there. Serengeti Wilds also allows players to Gamble their winnings. They can bet on the card colour or card suit – the former potentially multiplying their win x2 and the latter x4.

Serengeti Wilds sees the developer collaborate with smaller studios to create the next generation of slots. Hurricane Games joined the Program earlier this year with more titles set to launch in the coming months.

Stephan van den Oetelaar, CEO of Stakelogic, said: “I am so pleased to launch this game through our Greenlogic® Program with our partner Hurricane Games. Serengeti Wilds is a visually striking slot with the gameplay to match.

“I believe it will be a huge hit with our 500+ operator partners and sets a high standard for the calibre of content we are able to create and deliver via Greenlogic®. The Hurricane Games team has done a tremendous job, and this shows what can be achieved by working together.”

Damion Warren, CEO at Hurricane Games, said: “We have long had a vision for what Serengeti Wilds would look and play like, and by joining the Greenlogic® Program and working with the Stakelogic team we have brought that concept to life.

“I would like to thank Stakelogic for the opportunity to collaborate on this and we really can’t wait to see the game hit operator lobbies over the coming weeks.”

All the Ways Players Pay: Super Bowl

Payment speed and brand reputation remain crucial for bettors’ selection of online sportsbooks for Super Bowl LX, with 27% expecting to wager more than usual

In the countdown to this Sunday’s Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California, 51% of fans who’ll follow the football game in U.S. states and Canadian provinces with regulated sports-betting plan to bet online, according to research issued today by leading payments platform Paysafe. The company’s All the Ways Players Pay: Super Bowl report also indicates strong interest in legal betting from fans in this year’s host state, if California were to regulate sports-betting, as well as in Texas and Canada’s Alberta.

Appetite to legally wager in California, Texas, and Alberta – with the Canadian province expected to launch its jurisdiction before year-end – rivals the regulated market, with 52% of fans keen to wager on future Super Bowls. Across these currently unregulated jurisdictions and regulated sports-betting markets alike, fans consider payments crucial for online sports betting.

Surveying fans intending to bet in the regulated markets of Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Canada’s Ontario, the report reveals that 59% of them plan to place bets on game-day and 27% expect to wager more than usual. Their top criteria when choosing an online sportsbook are brand trust (prioritized by 43%) and streamlined payouts (37%). Cashing out a Super Bowl bet seamlessly is considered more important than every other non-payment factor, including good odds (30%), UX (22%), promos (21%), and sports events (14%).

Other payment factors are also instrumental in how fans in regulated markets choose sportsbooks, especially rapid deposits (prioritized by 25%) and range of payment methods (24%).

With bettors prioritizing their go-to payment methods’ availability, the battle for Super Bowl customers will likely be won in part by sportsbooks with diverse cashiers.

Across the regulated market, players’ preference for debit cards (43%) is today rivalled by digital wallets (42%). And while states like Massachusetts ban credit cards for wagering, they remain a preference for 33% overall, rising as high as 51% in New York and 47% in Ontario, the top choice in the province.

With established local payment methods (LPMs) like Venmo in the U.S. and Interac e-Transfer in Canada, it’s no surprise that 20% of bettors expect to see their favorite LPM at the cashier. And with 17% of players preferring to wager with pay-by-bank solutions and 10% favoring eCash, sportsbooks with these options will likely gain a competitive edge.

With over a quarter of bettors expecting to wager more than normal, the game offers an important short-term revenue opportunity, but the real value for operators is retaining customers for the long-haul – and here payments are also key. If the payment experience goes awry for the game, 84% of bettors would switch brands.

While California, Texas and Alberta are yet to launch regulated sports-betting markets, Super Bowl fans there are already aware of payments’ importance. If wagering were legal, fans would prioritize payment factors – fast payouts (29%) and rapid deposits (26%) – above everything but brand reputation (36%) when selecting a sportsbook.

Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, commented: “Super Bowl LX is expected to generate a record $1.71bn in legal wagers from the U.S. market alone, with an unprecedented betting volume also likely in Canada’s Ontario. The game represents a massive growth opportunity for North American online sportsbooks, and our research indicates that operators that are laser-focused on their cashiers and streamlining the payment experience will give themselves an edge in a highly competitive market.”

As the global sports calendar enters one of its most intense and opportunity-rich periods, Boomerang Partners is preparing an activation designed to capture the full attention of affiliate teams worldwide. The agency has released a teaser video featuring players from AC Milan, its Official Regional Partner, signaling the upcoming launch of TIME TO WIN — an exclusive initiative built specifically for affiliates.

The video, already sparking anticipation across the industry, delivers two clear messages: TIME TO WIN and Save the date. The full reveal is scheduled for February 12.

More Than a Campaign

Although details remain tightly under wraps, one thing is already evident: TIME TO WIN is not a conventional affiliate campaign or a one-off promotion. The teaser features AC Milan stars Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Alexis Saelemaekers, Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, and Rafael Leão — stopping just short of revealing what’s coming next.

Behind the scenes, TIME TO WIN appears to be a carefully engineered project built at the intersection of elite sport, affiliate expertise, and precise timing. It reflects Boomerang Partners’ long-term strategy of supporting affiliates during the most competitive moments of the sports season, where speed, readiness, and execution make the difference.

Powered by One of Football’s Most Iconic Clubs

The involvement of AC Milan is no coincidence. As Boomerang Partners’ Official Regional Partner, the club plays a central role in the TIME TO WIN concept, bringing global prestige, massive reach, and elite sporting credibility.

This partnership allows affiliate teams to align with one of the most recognizable football brands in the world, blending top-tier football energy with performance-driven marketing opportunities. As part of the broader collaboration, Boomerang Partners and AC Milan are preparing multiple initiatives throughout the season — including exclusive experiences, high-impact campaigns, and the launch of the AC Milan Hub, a dedicated portal centralizing all partnership-related activities.

Preparation Makes the Difference

While the full scope of TIME TO WIN will only be revealed on February 12, affiliates can already prepare by leveraging Boomerang Partners’ Sports Marketing & Betting Calendar 2026. This expert resource is designed to help partners anticipate peak moments, plan campaigns in advance, and make smarter decisions when competition is at its highest.

A Critical Window for Affiliates

The timing of TIME TO WIN aligns perfectly with one of the busiest stretches of the sports year. February and March feature a packed schedule of global events, including:

The Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026
UEFA Champions League knockout stages
Men’s Basketball World Cup Qualifiers
Major tennis tournaments such as Indian Wells and the Miami Open

For affiliate teams, this period demands precision, rapid execution, and well-timed activations — exactly where TIME TO WIN is positioned to deliver a strategic edge.

What Affiliates Can Expect

While Boomerang Partners is keeping the finer details confidential for now, expectations are high. TIME TO WIN is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious and exclusive affiliate activations of the 2026 sports season — a high-impact opportunity designed for teams ready to perform when it matters most.

The wait won’t be long. Full details of TIME TO WIN will go live on February 12 via the Boomerang Partners website.

Stay tuned.
