Relax Gaming, the igaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, is kicking off the year with another blockbuster slot game, Kluster Krystals Megaclusters after becoming the first supplier to gain IP rights to the popular mechanic, with every spin bringing the possibility of upgrading symbols for an incredibly rewarding player experience. Winning clusters kick things up a notch, causing all neighbouring symbols to upgrade to a double, triple or quad. The feature also applies to multipliers, boosting them by up to three times their starting value, causing win potential to soar. Serving up even more action is the treasure trove of Krystals, with three mini features that are guaranteed to trigger a sequence of six avalanches, each offering the chance for players to enhance their game.

iSoftBet, the award-winning online games supplier and content aggregator, invites players to ride the reels in its latest galloping hit Mighty Stallion Hold & Win. Set in the Wild West, the 3×5 slot combines both a free spins and respins bonus feature alongside iSoftBet’s highly popular Hold & Win mechanic that has sent many of its titles to the top of the slot charts in the last year. Taking iSoftBet’s Hold & Win format, players start with an initial three respins, which reset every time a fireball lands on the reels. If all 15 reel spots are filled, a gigantic 1,000x a player’s stake is awarded. Players’ chances of winning are not just limited to respins. Within base gameplay, the Mighty Stallion Wild Spin can be triggered at any time, where giant Wild Stallion symbols will spin through, with any landing turning into colossal wilds.

GAMING1 has launched its latest engaging slot game, Faëlorn. The 5×3 title invites fearless players to select their hero from a choice of eight, before chasing archenemies across the fields, mountains and deserts where the game is set. The fun-filled release’s cutting-edge SpinQuest^TM feature allows intrepid slots players to win a guaranteed jackpot at the end of the adventure, by vanquishing all the rivals of the slot’s eight heroic characters. Live bonus options, free spins and HiRoller games for experienced enthusiasts can all be discovered along the way, with players taking a well-deserved break at the tavern to enjoy a game of cards with their trusty companions.

Another slot with a richly developed narrative to immerse their players, Miner Donkey Trouble. The story revolves around the Miner and his donkey, Trouble. When a cave-in separates the Miner from Trouble, he must frantically dig his trusted mule out, collecting hidden gold and gems along the way. The fully developed characters and strong narrative are paired with a fun, detailed art style that fully captures the game’s feel.

Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the igaming industry, takes players to the land of the Pharaohs in its latest game, Mysterious Egypt. The 3×5, 10-payline video slot allows players to contribute to the expansion of Ancient Egypt in search of unfathomable wins. The base game features modifiers that mix up the immersive experience, including a brand-new mystery scatter symbol that is selected on each spin. The symbols, based on Egyptian artefacts, range from low-paying classic icons to more premium symbols, represented by birds, cats, pyramids, and the special Eye of Horus. The highest paying symbol in Mysterious Egypt is the Eye of Horus, which pays 500x for landing five across a payline. On every spin a special mystery symbol is randomly selected which can expand vertically to cover a reel. Three or more Scatter Symbols trigger the Free Spins mode. The Scatter also acts as a wild throughout all gameplay modes.

Blueprint Gaming has enhanced its hugely popular Jackpot King series for the new year with the inclusion of the classic gaming title, 7’s Deluxe. Following the successful additions of Reel Time Gaming (RTG) transitioned games to the Jackpot King progressive system, such as Eye of Horus and Fishin’ Frenzy, the company has moved to broaden the appeal of the industry’s leading jackpot offering with this latest entry. Only three Jackpot King symbols are required to gain entry to the Wheel King in this scorching-hot slot, where anticipation goes into overdrive with the potential to win big from one of three progressive pots. The original RTG game holds extensive market appeal across Europe, particularly within newly-regulated territories. The fruit machine inspired title is based on the classic sevens game and includes Wild Seven Substitutes, where the flaming 7 wild symbol substitutes the classic 7 symbol for extra wins.

Playson has unveiled an enthralling new slot title, Super Sunny Fruits: Hold and Win. Following on from the beloved Playson hit Sunny Fruits: Hold and Win, the developer’s latest game enhances that popular classic with the collecting symbol being added to Hold and Win mechanics, which remain a firm favourite among fans throughout the globe. In another exciting twist, the 3×5 title features a new Super Sun Bonus symbol that appears only during the Bonus Game. The symbol collects all visible Bonus Symbol values and adds them to its own total, giving players a thrilling chance to claim even bigger wins. Super Sunny Fruits: Hold and Win marks the most recent addition to Playson’s highly acclaimed Funky Fruits portfolio, comprising smash-hits such as Fruity Crown and Fruit Xtreme, which has helped the studio continue attracting audiences in regulated markets across the globe.

GameArt is proud to announce the release of Diego: El Pibe de Oro, a slot that pays homage to Diego Maradona, one of football’s greatest ever players and one of the world’s biggest personalities. Officially licensed through Applovesoft, it’s a game that will resonate with millions of fans around the world. Already in development months before the world lost a hero, GameArt delayed the release out of respect, and now hopes the game can help keep his spirit alive for his millions of fans around the world. Players can join Diego for an evening of wealth and glitz in a stunning slot featuring plenty of free spins, a novel Low Pay Wild upgrade, offering the opportunity to give luck a helping hand.

Slotsoo is proud to announce the winners of the Slotsoo Awards 2026, recognising the online casinos and game providers that have delivered the best player experiences over the past year. Now firmly established as an annual celebration of excellence, the awards continue to recognise the companies setting new standards for quality and innovation across the iGaming industry.

Spotlighting the Best Game Providers of 2026

Following last year’s successful debut, the Slotsoo Game Provider Awards returned for a second year to recognise the studios pushing online slots forward through original ideas, engaging gameplay, and consistently high-quality releases. This year’s winners are:

The Machine MVP – Pragmatic Play
Bonus Buyer – Eurasian Gaming
Volatility Virtuoso – 1spin4win
Jackpot Jumbo – Platipus Gaming
Symphony Spinner – Peter & Sons
Reel Renegade – TaDa Gaming
Promising Prodigy – EXCO Game Studio

Pragmatic Play retained the prestigious Machine MVP award for a second consecutive year, while every other category crowned a new winner, highlighting the emergence of fresh talent and new ideas among game providers.

Casino Awards Return for a Fourth Year

Since their debut in 2023, the Slotsoo Casino Awards have celebrated the operators raising the standard for online casino experiences. This year’s winners continue that tradition, earning recognition for excellence across bonuses, withdrawals, gamification, and overall quality. The seven winners for 2026 are:

The Gambling GOAT – Lunar Spins
The Bonus Buff – Go4Casino
The Loyalty Lord – Valhalla Wins
The Withdrawal Wizard – Taste Vegas
The Gamification Guru – Lucky Fuel
The Payout Professor – Stupid Casino
The Noisy Newcomer – Kudos Bet

While the Game Provider Awards saw several first-time winners, the Casino Awards reflected the continued strength of a few established operators. C24 Partners enjoyed a particularly successful year, with four awards going to brands from its portfolio, including the main trophy The Gambling GOAT.

Recognition That Goes Beyond Popularity

Unlike many industry awards, the Slotsoo Awards are not decided by public voting. Winners are selected by the Slotsoo team after evaluating casino operators and game providers throughout the year. Each nominee is assessed on factors such as player value and innovation.

This approach ensures that both established industry leaders and ambitious newcomers have an equal opportunity to be recognised. Whether it’s a casino redefining loyalty rewards or a game studio introducing fresh mechanics, the awards highlight companies that genuinely move the industry forward.

Other News from Slotsoo.com This Summer

The Slotsoo Awards weren’t the only milestone for the company this summer. In June, the team attended the HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics Gaming Conference in Tallinn, connecting with industry professionals, exploring the latest developments in iGaming, and returning home with plenty of inspiration.

July marked the publication of Slotsoo’s first book, The Casino Player’s ABC, written by Markus Björk, Head of Content. This tongue-in-cheek ABC book for adults takes a humorous look at the ups and downs in slot gaming. Markus Björk comments:

“The awards and the book may seem like very different projects, but they share the same goal. Both are about celebrating what makes this industry unique and helping players navigate it with a sense of humour.”

With another successful awards season, the publication of their first book, and an active presence at industry events, 2026 has been one of Slotsoo’s busiest and most exciting years to date.

BETBY, the Tier 1 sportsbook supplier, has continued its strong start to 2026, delivering solid year-on-year growth across its business during the first half of the year.

The number of active players across the provider’s partner network grew by 47%, while the total number of bets placed rose by 21.2%, reflecting sustained growth across both new and existing operator partnerships.

Among them was BETBY Predictions, the industry’s first fixed-odds prediction markets feed, opening a new betting vertical for operators. The supplier also introduced Stories, an engagement feature built around a familiar, interactive content format and delivered directly within the sportsbook experience.

The FIFA World Cup provided an additional boost during the last three weeks of June, generating high levels of betting activity across BETBY’s partner network and demonstrating the scalability and reliability of its sportsbook during the world’s largest sporting event.

BETBY’s proprietary esports feed, Betby Games, also delivered continued growth during H1 2026, recording a 28% year-on-year increase in Gross Gaming Revenue. Active players grew by 46%, while the number of bets placed rose by 14.8%. These figures reinforce Betby Games’ importance within BETBY’s broader product portfolio.

These results reflect the strength of our long-term strategy, combining continued market expansion with a clear focus on product innovation and helping our partners grow.

We are proud of what we have achieved so far this year and remain focused on continuing this progress throughout H2.”
