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.

ELA Games’ King and Flame has been named a finalist for Best New Game Release at the 2026 SiGMA Europe Awards. The awards are scheduled to take place at the Casino Maltese in Valletta, Malta, on May 27.

The company said the nomination reflects its approach of combining narrative design with slot math models. King and Flame is positioned as a medieval fantasy Hold and Win title built around a storyline that “flips classic fantasy tropes upside down,” with a prince unleashing a Dragon Queen.

According to ELA Games, the game includes coin symbols that pay their face value, Mystery Chests that can award instant prizes or trigger the Grand Jackpot, and a “Tamed by the Crown” feature where the Dragon Queen appears as an expanding Full Reel Wild. The studio also highlighted free spins with column-expanding coins and a Super Bonus Wheel that doubles rewards.

Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director of ELA Games, said: “We’re very happy to see King and Flame get a nomination at the very well-regarded SiGMA Europe awards. I know the work everyone at the ELA team put into creating an intricate back story and graphic world for this slot. It is one of the most narrative-based titles we have released to date, and the care the team put into the design has really brought that story to life. It is wonderful to see that dedication noticed on such a prestigious stage.”

SiGMA has opened public voting for the category via its awards site.

New title adds three Diamond bonus features, a Collect Diamond mechanic and four jackpots up to 1,000x.

Playson has released a new slot title, 3 Supercharged Diamonds: Hold and Win, expanding its Hold and Win catalogue with three Diamond-driven bonus features and four jackpot prizes up to 1,000x.

The game’s Hold and Win Bonus Game uses a “3 Pots” mechanic, triggered when green, yellow or violet Diamond symbols land alongside their respective Diamonds positioned above the reels. Depending on the Diamonds that land, the bonus can activate an Expand Feature (3×5 grid), Multi Feature (multipliers on reels one and three starting at 2x and increasing up to 32x), or Stepper Feature (Bonus Diamonds remain in play and move down one position after each respin).

A Collect Diamond can land only on reel two during the Bonus Game. Playson said it holds its position for the round and accumulates the value of Bonus Diamonds that land before being applied to the Total Win at the end of the feature.

Jackpots can also land during the bonus round: Mini (15x), Minor (30x), Major (100x) and Grand (1,000x). Outside the bonus, any Diamond symbol in the Main Game can randomly trigger an Extra Diamonds Feature, which Playson said can add enough Diamonds to start the Bonus Game.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “3 Supercharged Diamonds: Hold and Win takes one of our most recognisable game mechanics and elevates it with a collection of dynamic new features designed to maximise excitement during every bonus round.

“By combining the Expand, Multi and Stepper features with the Collect Diamond and four jackpot opportunities, we have created a release that delivers strong entertainment value and varied gameplay experiences for players worldwide.”
