iSoftBet, the leading online games supplier and content aggregator, has released Nordic epic Thunder Shields, the first slot to feature a three-tiered jackpot within a ‘Hold and Win’ game.

The high production, action-packed Thunder Shields is iSoftBet’s fourth game to contain its highly popular Hold and Win mechanic, taking it to a new level with Booster Shields in the feature, Colossal Respins, Thunderstorm Prizes and Mystery Spins.

During base gameplay, a Hammer symbol acts not only as a Wild, but also triggers the Colossal Respin modifier, where giant symbols appear, covering up to four reels and leading to huge wins. The Mystery spins feature sees at least three reels land as stacked mystery symbols, which all reveal the same symbol for impressive win potential.

To trigger the Hold and Win Bonus, six or more Cash Shields need to land on the reels, awarding three respins. Every time a new shield lands, the respin counter resets. Thunder Shields’ Booster’s come into play during this mode, with different colour shields revealing a different modifier. This can be multiplier increases, collector shields to bank all money already on the board and clear it for more opportunities to win, as well as a Reel Boost, Cash Boost or Respins Boost, all of which further add to the thrill of battle during the Bonus Round.

Thunder Shields is the latest addition to iSoftBet’s growing slot offering, which has seen numerous Megaways in the supplier’s portfolio.

Mark Claxton, Head of Games at iSoftBet, said: “Thunder Shields sees our Viking warriors set sail on the high seas in search of treasure in our latest top performing Hold and Win game. Packed full of features, the bonus round has the potential to lead to massive wins.

“We’re thrilled with this title. We consistently strive to create unique content for a diverse range of demographics, and the development of our Hold and Win series of games has been a real point of pride this year.”

Internet Vikings, a licensed hosting provider for the European and U.S. iGaming and online sports betting industry, has announced a new partnership with ScatterKings, an iGaming studio that creates high-performance slot content, helping operators lead their markets across regulated jurisdictions worldwide.

As part of this collaboration, Internet Vikings is supplying ScatterKings with a tailored hosting infrastructure that includes both bare metal servers and VMware cloud solutions in Sweden and Malta.

The collaboration came about as ScatterKings looked to move away from its previous hyperscale setup in favour of a more flexible hosting environment. The company was seeking a partner that could provide greater customization and more responsive customer service.

Reflex Gaming unleashes The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™ with exclusive Game Mechanic

Reflex Gaming, the UK’s largest independently owned omni-channel game supplier, is heading deep into ancient ruins with the launch of The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™, a visually stunning, Aztec-themed slot that introduces the company’s exclusive Treasure Hunt™ game mechanic.

This 6×4, 20-payline title combines mystery, tension and progressive gameplay in a setting inspired by the legends of Montezuma. At the heart of the experience is the Treasure Hunt™ game mechanic, a persistent pick-based mechanic that activates when two Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels. Players are transported to a 30-segment treasure map where they can uncover Free Spins, cash prizes, Jackpots and Sticky Wild bonus upgrades. Unlike traditional features, the map carries over between sessions, allowing players to build progress over time. Crucially, Sticky Wilds uncovered on the map are banked and carried into the next Free Spins bonus triggered via the map itself, creating layered anticipation and meaningful long-term engagement.

Free Spins can also be triggered directly via 3 or more bonus symbols. Once active, players collect additional Scatter symbols to spin a bonus wheel that can award multipliers, more Sticky Wilds, or one of four fixed jackpots. With a maximum win potential of over 5000x, the feature is rich with excitement.

Adding to the thrill is the Montezuma Mystery Prize, a powerful feature triggered when players land full stacks of Montezuma symbols with the special Cursed Idol symbol. The game’s cinematic presentation shifts into high gear as the cursed idol unleashes a dramatic win event that transforms the reels and ramps up intensity.
The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™ also supports Golden Bet, which doubles the chance of triggering Free Spins, and includes Bonus Buy functionality in supported markets, ensuring the game caters to a wide range of player preferences and regulatory environments.

Commenting on the release, Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, said: “We’re incredibly proud of this one. The game introduces something truly unique with our Treasure Hunt game mechanic. It’s Reflex-built, Reflex-owned, and designed to deliver genuine progression and player investment over time. It’s a mechanic that remembers where you left off, and that’s something players will come back for.
“So far, the game has gained exceptional feedback from operators.  We believe it’s a standout release for 2025, and we can’t wait to see how the market responds.”

The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™ is available from 16 September 2025 powered by Yggdrasil Gaming.
