Leading slot developer Blueprint Gaming has launched its latest classic themed slot Crypt of the Dead, which is set to resonate with core slot players across multiple markets.

The 6 x 3 reel slot offers 4,096 ways to win and plays out in the mysterious catacombs of a long-dead Pharoah. The game makes the most of the player-favourite adventurous setting and boasts a series of proven features to complement the action.

Special expanding symbols make a welcome return in what have become a staple element of Blueprint games. Overwhelmingly positive feedback for such features from players highlights the importance the supplier places on listening to and engaging with other stakeholders in the development process.

Up to 50 Free Spins can be awarded including the chance to retrigger them during the feature, with Bonus Buy also available in selected markets.

The release of Crypt of the Dead illustrates Blueprint’s commitment to a varied content offering, serving all important demographics in today’s market. While the company is at the leading edge of innovation with recent titles Fishin’ Frenzy Prize Lines: Golden Game, it is also committed to serving its ever-important core player base.

Jo Purvis, Director of Key Accounts and Marketing UK at Blueprint Gaming, said: “While the industry is rightly pushing the boundaries of innovation in game design, there is most definitely still a place for this traditional genre and style of game, one which casino operators are wise to continue to capitalise on.

“Crypt of the Dead serves this segment fantastically well and with its host of proven features developed to strike a chord with players, I’m confident it will prove a valuable addition.”

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.”
