In the base game, players will feel a sense of nostalgia as fruit and 7s symbols land on the reels. If three four or five of the Star scatter symbols drop, the Free Spins bonus will be triggered.

The number of Free Spins awarded relates to the number of Scatters that triggered the feature with the player receiving 10, 20 or 30 free games respectively.

In addition to Free Spins, Hot Joker^TM also offers players the chance to land more win combinations through Joker Wild symbols that land at random and replace all other symbols except Scatters.

If that wasn’t enough to get players on the edge of their seats, the game’s Gamble feature allows them to potentially multiply their winnings by x4.

Players can either gamble on the card colour or the card suit; if they guess correctly their win will be multiplied by x2 or x4 respectively. If they guess incorrectly, they will forfeit their winnings.

Stakelogic has built a reputation for developing some of the most thrilling and entertaining classic slots in the market by combining compelling gameplay with striking graphics and authentic sounds.

Stephan van den Oetelaar, CEO of Stakelogic, said: “Hot Joker^TM is a blistering classic game that combines the best of a retro slot with a modern video slot to deliver truly flaming wins.

“Players will undoubtedly seek out the Free Spins bonus, and with random Wilds that can land on the reels at any moment, there is huge anticipation with every spin.

“We are passionate about classic slots and in Hot Joker^TM we have a game the delivers an unrivalled experience that will appeal to both aficionados and casual players alike.”

Galaxsys, the award-winning games developer, is proud to announce the launch of Olympian Legends, a new slot game that brings the power and majesty of ancient mythology to life.

More than just a tribute to ancient mythology, Olympian Legends combines breathtaking visuals, innovative features, and dynamic gameplay, promising players an unforgettable journey through the myths of Olympus. As players progress and reveal mythic features, they face the power of ancient gods. With cascading symbols and exciting bonuses, the game delivers a dynamic adventure that’s truly worth exploring.

This marks the third slot title that Galaxsys has announced over the last two months, following the launches of Funny Faces: Hoglet-Moglet and El Dorado.

What Makes Olympian Legends Special
Olympian Legends stands out by blending rich narrative elements with innovative slot mechanics. The progress bar on the right side of the grid consists of five elements. Each time a winning combination is formed, the progress bar fills from bottom to top, triggering a mythical feature when an element is completed. Additionally, the Buy Bonus option allows players to take fate into their own hands, enabling them to access the bonus game at any time they choose.

Dynamic animations and sound design ensure every encounter with Zeus, Poseidon, and more characters feels like stepping into an epic saga rather than playing a traditional slot.

Vigen Safaryan, CPO at Galaxsys, commented: “Olympian Legends combines strong gameplay mechanics with a detailed and dynamic theme. Our goal was to deliver a slot that feels rewarding to play while offering players a more refined experience through mythology. We paid special attention to balancing the game’s features to ensure that the experience feels dynamic, without overwhelming the player. From the visuals and animations to the way the bonuses unfold, every element was designed to create a journey that feels both entertaining and authentic.”

Olympian Legends is now live and available for Galaxsys’ global network of partners.

EveryMatrix has opened a new central London office, 17 years after it was founded in the UK capital.

Located in the heart of the city on the 25th floor of the newly opened 258,000 sq ft HYLO building in Old Street, London, the premium office space is home to various EveryMatrix teams, including several members of its OddsMatrix sports platform division.

The HYLO has been described as one of London’s most exciting new buildings, boasting a high rise tower and large, efficient podium floors plus roof gardens and new public spaces all within the popular Shoreditch area.

Team members include UK-based ex FSB Technology employees who have successfully integrated into EveryMatrix, following its acquisition last year. Many of the team have been responsible for delivering the Group’s new horse racing product.

Built from the ground up in just six months, the EveryMatrix racing product is fully managed by the expert, award-winning former-FSB trading team in London. The solution offers a wide range of global content, round the clock streaming, multiple derivative markets, granular price management and dynamic cross-product bonusing.

Designed to appeal to core racing markets such as the UK & Ireland and South Africa, customers also benefit from integration into EveryMatrix platform technology, offering increased scale, next generation user experience, enhanced bonusing and increased automation.

The new EveryMatrix London office is the third new global location to be opened this year with Chang Mai in Thailand and Cebu in the Philippines welcoming teams in March. This takes the total number of global EveryMatrix offices to 15 employing more than 1,400 staff.

The EveryMatrix workforce has increased by 40% since last March when the company announced its 1,000 th employee while simultaneously cutting the ribbon on a state-of-the-art, sustainably developed and built office for more than 500 staff in Bucharest.

Ebbe Groes, Group CEO and Co-Founder, EveryMatrix, said: “We’re back where it all began when Stian [Hornsletten] and I co-founded the business in 2008. This new opening brings back so many fond memories and I’m personally delighted to see the business come back full circle.

“The space is magnificent and one of the best I’ve ever seen offering our teams here superb working conditions, multiple benefits and the ideal central London location.

“Our growth is showing no bounds and this new UK location highlights just how ambitious we are to continue growing and working with premium, tier-1 customers who we can now host in one of Europe’s best cities.”
