Stakelogic, the developer of highly entertaining slot games that top operator game lobbies, is taking big win anticipation to the next level with Mystery Drop, the latest blockbuster title to leave its production line.

Mystery Drop features a never-seen-before bonus round where players are given the chance to drop a ball and gamble where it is going to land for the chance to win up to 16 Free Spins. It also boasts Expanding Reels, Multipliers and the option to Buy the Bonus.

The slot takes the 5×3 reel format with 243 ways to win with every spin. This release sits at the high end of the volatility scale and delivers a maximum win multiplier of 50,000x the player’s original bet.

The Free Spins bonus is triggered when all the reels expand to 6 during the base game and awards 5 Free Spins. Players are then given the option to Gamble their Free Spins with the Mystery Drop feature for the chance to win up to 16 Free Spins.

If players choose to Gamble their Free Spins a pinball game board appears, and players must select one of three positions from which to drop a ball. The ball then bounces around until it lands in one of seven sections representing the Free Games that will be awarded.

The maximum number of Free Spins available is 16, but players also run the risk of losing their Free Games if the ball lands in a section with an “X”.

Before the Free Spins bonus plays out, the reel matrix expands from 5×3 to 5×6. A Multiplier is applied to all wins – it starts at x2 and increases by +1 for every win that lands and by +4 if the reels expand to their max 5×9 layout.

While Free Spins are active, Mystery Symbols can land at random and will transform into paying combination symbols for yet more big win potential.

Mystery Drop is also hooked up to Stakelogic’s innovative Super Stake feature. This allows players to place a side bet to increase the chance of the bonus game triggering. In this case, on a random losing spin the Free Spins bonus is triggered.

If that is a bit too much mystery for one game, worry not. Mystery Drop also has the option for players to enjoy some certainty via the Buy the Bonus option. For x75 their bet, or x150 with Super Stake active, they can go straight to the Free Spins bonus and enjoy five Free Games.

Players can also Gamble their winnings; they can either gamble on the card colour or the card suit and if they guess correctly their win will be multiplied by x2 or x4 respectively.

Olga Bajela, CCO of Stakelogic, said: “On the face of it, Mystery Drop looks like a fairly simple game but under the hood it is packed with smart math and complex mechanics designed to deliver a highly volatile, highly thrilling player experience.

“The Mystery Drop feature is particularly exciting, building another level of anticipation into the game as players wait to see if their Free Spins gamble has paid off. Then there is our innovative Super Stake feature that takes the big win potential to the next level.

“As the saying goes, looks can be deceiving and with Mystery Drop we have a game that looks sensational while also providing unique gameplay.”

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus

DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.

The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.

If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.

The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.

It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.

“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.

 

What does this mean for the market?

Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.

If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.

And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

Last fall, FanDuel and MLBPI reached a similar licensing agreement after the MLB players’ union sued FanDuel and Underdog Fantasy in New York Supreme Court, accusing them of using the names and likeness of ballplayers on their players without permission.

”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.
