Deal expands RubyPlay beyond content into platform-level engagement; transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals.

RubyPlay has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Splash Tech, as the supplier moves beyond content into platform-level engagement tools. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals.

RubyPlay said the acquisition will add Splash Tech’s jackpot solution and Free-to-Play casino and sports capabilities to its existing engagement suite, which includes free spins, rewards, missions and tournaments. Following completion, RubyPlay’s operator partners will gain access to the Jackpot and Free-to-Play tools, designed to support engagement across third-party content as well as RubyPlay titles.

The company said Splash Tech’s engagement tools are already live with “some of the biggest operators and platform providers” globally. RubyPlay also said Splash Tech’s real-money jackpot product can turn “any product across all verticals into a jackpot game.”

Tsachi Maimon, CEO of RubyPlay, said: “Through this acquisition, we are moving beyond the traditional content silo to firmly establish RubyPlay as a premium content and engagement platform provider. This elevated market position ensures we are delivering new revenue streams for our partners, providing them with effective ways to address player acquisition and retention.

“Splash Tech has earned a strong reputation within the industry for driving innovation within the engagement tools space, underpinned by its superior expertise, data and content. Bringing the company’s capabilities into our broader offering marks a pivotal moment for RubyPlay’s evolution.”

Adam Wilson, CEO of Splash Tech, said: “Becoming a RubyPlay company will give Splash Tech a stronger foundation for growth, with continuity at the heart of this transition. Existing Splash Tech partners will continue to benefit from the same trusted products, expertise, and relationship focus they expect from us, and we’re looking forward to working alongside new partners with RubyPlay.

“As a global B2B iGaming company with a growing operator network and multi-market reach, RubyPlay brings greater scale, operator insight, and market credibility to support our ambition for further expansion and innovation.”

DEGEN Studios has launched Plague City, a Scatter Pays slot built around visible progression, escalating features and a 10,000x max win chase. Every winning combination spreads infection across the reels, creating bigger setups as players build towards Plague Wave Respins, Plague Breakout Free Spins and Super Free Spins.

During the base game, any position that forms part of a winning combination becomes infected, and as wins and cascades continue, the outbreak can spread across more of the reels.

A Med Kit should stop the outbreak. In Plague City, it starts the next stage. Landing a Med Kit while infected positions are active triggers Plague Wave Respins, where infected positions remain active, Wilds become sticky with multipliers, and Respins continue until every infected position has been healed or no further wins occur.

Every Sticky Wild begins with three lives. Each winning cascade reduces a Wild’s life by one, while every newly landed Wild increases the multiplier value of all active Wilds, allowing multiplier chains to continue growing throughout the feature.

The chase escalates further in Plague Breakout Free Spins. Triggered by four, five or six Scatters, every Free Spins feature begins with eight Free Spins. Scatter symbols are replaced by Vaccines, which award retriggers and upgrade the Starting Wild Multiplier, allowing future Wilds to land with increasingly higher multiplier values.

Land six Scatters and the outbreak reaches Super Free Spins, where every newly landed Wild increases the multiplier value of all active Wilds by +2x. From there, the max win chase becomes a race to collect Vaccines, extend the feature and continue landing new Wilds as multiplier chains grow towards 10,000x the bet.

For players looking to accelerate the chase, Buy Bonus and Activate options offer direct entry into Plague Breakout Free Spins, Mystery Buy, or boosted chances of triggering both Free Spins and Plague Wave Respins.

Danny Gordon, Head of Studio at DEGEN Studios, said: “At DEGEN, we’re obsessed with building gameplay that players can actually follow. In Plague City, every mechanic has a purpose. The infection spreads, Vaccines extend the feature, Wild multipliers continue growing and every step brings the max win chase closer.”
