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.

Score Queens, a new female-first sports gaming community, has launched with Palace Picks, a free-to-play daily predictor game created for this summer’s World Cup.

Palace Picks runs throughout the tournament and asks players to answer five multiple-choice predictor questions plus one score prediction linked to that day’s matches. Players collect “Jewels” through participation, which the company says can be used to unlock raffle tickets for the headline prize.

The product has been developed in collaboration with Two-Up, a digital agency focused on sports, betting and gaming experiences. Score Queens said the partnership combines its brand positioning with Two-Up’s product, UX and digital delivery work.

The launch prize, sponsored by Vision4Sport, is a Monaco Grand Prix 2027 experience for one winner and a guest. The package includes Friday attendance with two grandstand passes, two superyacht party tickets in Port Hercule with food and drinks, and £1,500 towards flights and accommodation. Score Queens values the prize at over £5,000.

Kitty Miller, Founder of Score Queens, said: “Score Queens came from a very simple frustration. Women are already watching sport, talking about sport and being part of the big sporting moments, but so much of the betting and gaming world still feels like it wasn’t built with us in mind.

“Palace Picks is our first step in changing that. It is free to play, easy to join, and designed to bring more women into the sporting conversation through play, prediction, culture and community. We wanted to create something that feels fun, social and accessible, without dumbing anything down.”

Lottomart launches Flash Pots, adding ThrillTech’s operator-branded jackpots to its regulated markets.

ThrillTech has launched its ThrillPots side-bet jackpot product with Lottomart across the operator’s regulated UK and Gibraltar markets.

The rollout introduces Flash Pots, a ThrillPots-powered jackpot game integrated within Lottomart’s gaming platform. ThrillTech said the deployment expands its UK footprint and adds another regulated-market operator to its integration network.

ThrillPots is an operator-branded jackpot layer designed to sit alongside existing betting and gaming products. Players opt in by placing a small additional stake alongside eligible gameplay—such as slots, live casino games or sports bets—for a chance to enter pooled jackpot prizes.

Ben Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Lottomart is exactly the kind of operator ThrillPots is built for. Lottomart is renowned for offering the excitement of jackpots and we’re delighted that ThrillPots can elevate the experience for players.”

Chris Ruddock, Commercial Director at Lottomart commented: “Jackpot-centric gaming is core to the Lottomart experience, making this partnership a natural evolution of our offering. While our players are already engaged with our Jackpot pooled prizes, this collaboration allows us to bring a uniquely branded proposition to our players. We are thrilled to introduce Flash Pots, our new ThrillPots powered jackpot, to the site.”

ThrillTech said it is now live across 10 regulated jurisdictions and has recently announced partnerships with NordPlay, EstrelaBet in Brazil, the Tote Group and BVGroup’s UK brands such as Betano, talkSPORT Bet and Heart Bingo. The company also said it holds ISO 27001 certification.
