Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has unveiled its newest hit, Floating Dragon Hold and Spin.

The Asian-themed, 3×5 slot is packed full of features and fun, with three separate triggerable modes for players to enjoy. The first is the Fish Money feature, which sees each Fish symbol have a cash value attached and can be collected if the Lady lands on the reels. If multiple Lady symbols land, then the value is multiplied by the number of them.

To trigger the Free Spins mode, three or more Scatters must land on the reels. With four stages possible to progress through in the Bonus Round, players must land Ladies on the reels, which continue to collect Fish as in base play. If Four or more ladies are on the reels at the same time, players will progress to the next round. If no Fish land on a spin, then a Firecracker will be thrown onto the reels, guaranteeing a winning spin.

The Hold and Spin mode is initiated if a stack of Three Coin symbols land on the central reel, which then sees them remain on the grid as the four remaining reels rotate in search of more coins. Players get three respins, which can reset if a coin is found on a spin, while there is a minimum guarantee of 20x a player’s stake awarded during the mode.

Floating Dragon is Pragmatic Play’s newest slot hit, joining leading products Wolf Gold, Sweet Bonanza and The Dog House Megaways in the provider’s high-powered collection of titles.

Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “We’re consistently looking for innovative new additions to our portfolio and are thrilled to launch our newest Hold and Spin hit.

“Our entire product portfolio continues to grow at an impressive rate as we look to continue to expand globally, with this release marking another positive step for us.”

Pragmatic Play currently produces up to five new slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.

F*Bastards says its casino content is now available through more than 400 operators worldwide, marking a distribution milestone for the iGaming supplier as it continues to expand its portfolio and partner network.

In a company statement outlining its background, Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas said the team’s earlier attempt to build a game studio fell short due to positioning rather than production capability. “Looking back, we realised we weren’t missing talent. We were missing identity. We could build games, but we hadn’t built something people could remember. That lesson became the starting point for everything F*Bastards would later become.” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.

The company said it intentionally built its brand around differentiation, including the decision to use the name F*Bastards despite the expectation it would split opinion among potential partners. The founders described early progress as incremental, driven by game releases, industry events, operator feedback and relationship-building, rather than a single breakout moment.

F*Bastards also pointed to a fundraising milestone in 2026, saying it secured its first seven-figure investment. The company positioned the round as validation of execution rather than an early-stage concept.

“From day one, the goal wasn’t to become the biggest supplier. It was to build something people would remember. We’ve come a long way, but in many ways, it still feels like we’re only getting started” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
