Latest slot to leave developer’s production line beautifully tackles the neon theme and combines it with an innovative Free Spins bonus feature

Live 5 is taking players to a neon jungle where fluorescent wolves glow in the latest video slot to leave its production line, Wolf 81.

The game beautifully masters the neon theme but with a unique twist. Set across four reels and with 81 ways to win, players will want to trigger the Free Spins bonus as something special awaits.

This is achieved when two or more adjacent Wolf symbols appear anywhere on the reels. This activates Respins and the unique Free Spins entry mechanic.

At this point, the player chooses which Free Spins feature to player for – Win Spins (Win every spin), Moon Spins (Cash prizes), Multiplier Spins (Progressive multiplier) or Wild Spins (Expanding wilds.)

Respins then fire into action, and players move along a trail collecting additional Free Spins along the way. If they hit the top, they will also win a Random Jackpot Multiplier (max 8,100x).

The Free Spins then play out with the previously chosen bonus with the Random Jackpot Multiplier added to the overall win, so long as it has been unlocked.

Players can play for all four Free Spins bonuses or they can find their favourite and play for that each time the bonus feature is triggered by the adjacent Wolf symbols.

Wolf 81 has medium volatility and a return to player of 95.95% – 96.35%. It is certified for launch in markets including the UK, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Denmark, Malta jurisdictions and Loto Quebec.

Lloyd Butler , CEO at Live 5, said: “Wolf 81 is our take on the neon theme and I must say the design team has done a phenomenal job. This is a truly striking slot to look at.

“Of course, our talented math team has also played its part in developing glowing gameplay to match. This has been achieved through the innovative Free Spins bonus.

“By giving players the choice of four different Free Spins to play for the game becomes more engaging as players work their way through each until they find their favourite.

“We look forward to seeing Wolf 81 brighten up operator game lobbies and for players to journey down the trail and watch as the reels glow and the Free Spins and bonuses play out.”

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

ThrillTech said it has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to offer its side-bet jackpot technology to regulated online casino, sports betting, and lottery operators in Ontario.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.

ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.
