Red Rake Gaming, the casino game specialist, has just released a 6×10 reel video slot with impressive mulitipliers, both in the regular game and the free spins feature.

In a hidden workshop in the basement of a castle you will find an old alchemist, working away on the most unimaginable mixtures of gold and silver, as he tries to find the perfect potion to help players win this slot game. A perfect setting for fantasy lovers, with incredible graphics that are typical of the well-known game developer Red Rake Gaming.

This video slot offers a feature called Mystery Blocks, which reveals symbols hidden behind non-winning blocks, as well as the Hand of Alchemy feature, which randomly duplicates symbols in the reels.

It is a slot game loaded with multipliers. The first ones are offered by the silver and gold ingot symbols, which multiply your bet by up to x100 and x200 respectively.
And there are more multipliers in the Alchemist Wheel as well, which continues to reward them until it eventually lands on the exit section, and they also increase each time the Double section appears.

And the final multipliers are available during the Free Spins Feature. Each spin during the free spins feature activates the additional multiplier reel. To launch this feature you need to obtain 10 or more Emerald Elixir symbols. If an alchemist symbol with a green background and a number also appear in the reels, the value displayed in the symbol will be added to the number of Emerald Elixirs to increase the possibility of gaining entry to the feature, or increase the number of free spins awarded.

This is a very mystical slot game that, along with its captivating music, will transport the player to the old alchemist’s workshop where they can achieve enormous wins.

Alchemy Ways is being released today, 27 May, although it was recently launched exclusively with various operators, so many players are already enjoying this fantastic slot game and generating great results for Red Rake Gaming partners. As with all our other slot games, it also works with the Red Rake Gaming tournament tool, to offer gamers even more excitement and gaming options.

From April 12 to April 28, 2026, the special edition will feature two marquee events running simultaneously — an $8 million GTD No‑Limit Hold’em (NLH) and a $2 million GTD Pot‑Limit Omaha (PLO) tournament — promising some of the most thrilling online poker action of the year.

Players buy in for $2,650 and compete for massive mystery bounties, with the NLH event offering up to $500,000 for a single knockout and the PLO event featuring a top bounty of $200,000. Every knockout on Day 2 guarantees at least $5,000 in bounty rewards.

All players who make it to Day 2 on April 27th at 1:05 pm ET are already in the money. The climactic final table to crown this special edition’s champions will take place on April 28th at 4:05 pm ET.

ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker says the High Five edition builds on the momentum of earlier high‑stakes events like the $50 Million OSS XL, combining huge guarantees with broad access and big bounty potential for players of all bankrolls.

Sweden has seen a long‑term decline in gambling addiction over the past 25 years, despite rapid growth in online gambling availability, advertising, and mobile gaming.

Economist Ola Nevander’s research for the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) shows that the prevalence of problem gambling has steadily fallen since the early 2000s, even as the market expanded. This trend emerged even with the widespread adoption of digital gaming products and 24/7 access on smartphones.

According to the findings, the proportion of Swedes classified as problem gamblers (based on the Problem Gambling Severity Index) dropped from about 2.2 % in 2008–09 to around 1.3 % by 2021, marking a significant reduction in overall gambling harm.

Gustaf Hoffstedt, Secretary General of BOS, emphasizes that this decline suggests Sweden’s regulatory and industry efforts are moving in the right direction. While the transformation from traditional physical gambling venues to digital platforms has raised concerns, online tools such as responsible gaming technologies and AI‑assisted safeguards are helping reduce problem gambling rates.

However, Hoffstedt cautions that much work remains, because expanded game offerings and persistent advertising mean ongoing responsibility is crucial to maintain and deepen the downward trend.

Alongside the return of its popular High Five series, this special edition of the Dual Venoms will run from Sunday, April 12th through Tuesday, April 28th, delivering side-by-side action in the $8 million GTD NLH and $2 million GTD PLO, offering some of the biggest online poker action of the year.

Following the success of previous editions, the $2,650 buy-in Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms return with massive guarantees and mystery bounties that reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the $8 million GTD NLH, a single knockout could earn a player the top bounty prize of $500,000, while the $2 million PLO, which ties as ACR Poker’s biggest Omaha event ever, offers a $200,000 top bounty. Every knockout starting on Day 2 guarantees at least $5,000 in both events.

All players reaching Day 2 on Monday, April 27th at 1:05pm ET are already in the money, with the Final Table showdown for the coveted Venom crowns scheduled for Tuesday, April 28th at 4:05pm ET.

Qualifying begins Tuesday, April 7th through a packed Venom Fever satellite schedule, offering hundreds of guaranteed seats at low cost, or even for free, through Direct Satellites, Mega Satellites, and Beast Satellites.

“After the incredible turnout and massive payouts in March’s $50 Million OSS XL, Spring 2026 is shaping up to be epic with the return of our High Five Series and this special Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms edition,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “With huge guarantees, mystery bounties, and accessible satellites for every bankroll, players have double the excitement and double the chance to hit massive prizes!”

The latest Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms delivered massive fields and payouts, with both events exceeding their guarantees. The NLH drew 3,673 entries for a $9,182,500 prize pool, paying over $700,000 to the winner.
