Star Wild Blaster is all about triggering Wilds which come hooked up to Multipliers to ensure plenty of big win potential

Stakelogic, the innovative and pioneering casino game developer, and Hurricane Games are taking players on a wild adventure in Star Wild Blaster, the latest explosive slot to leave their production line.

As the name suggests, Star Wild Blaster is all about Wilds which Multiply when forming part of a win combination to allow players to land some insane cash prizes.

Star Wild Blaster takes the 5X3 reel format with 10 fixed paylines. During the base game, Wild symbols substitute for all symbols and can appear on reels two, three and four.

Any win combination that includes a Wild starts the Wild Multiplier feature on the reel where the Wild has landed. This is when the really big wins blast off.

Wild symbols expand on reels two, three and four and then a Multiplier is chosen at random for each reel and is then applied to the Wilds on that reel.

Multiplier values include x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7 and x10. If multiple Wild Multipliers are included in wins, then the win line Multipliers are added together. This gives a max win multiplier of x9,672.

If that wasn’t enough anticipation and excitement, players are given the option to Gamble their winnings with the chance to significantly increase the value of their prize.

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. Of course, if they guess wrong, they will forfeit their win.

Stakelogic has quickly become one of the most in-demand developers in the market with its suite of classic slots and video slots topping operator game lobbies around the world.

The developer has cracked the code when it comes to creating slot games that are visually striking and that use authentic sound to deliver an engaging player experience.

This is combined with smart math and complex mechanics to ensure players are entertained from the first spin to the last, with lots of big win potential ready to trigger at any moment.

Stephan van den Oetelaar, CEO of Stakelogic, said: “Star Wild Blaster is a simple but highly engaging slot that builds anticipation with every spin.

“Once the Wilds land, players are then on a wild ride as the Multipliers kick in and the big win potential builds and builds until blast-off.

“Star Wild Blaster is bold, bright and delivers a thrilling player experience from the first spin of the game round to the last.”

When LATAM gambles: Blask reveals seasonality patterns across six countries

Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Peru and Colombia represent six distinct iGaming markets — each with its own regulatory framework, player base and cultural rhythms. Yet beneath these differences lie powerful shared drivers: domestic football seasons concluding in Q4, mandatory year-end bonuses injecting billions into local economies, and national holidays that stretch into multi-day celebrations.

Using Blask’s Seasonality feature, player activity across all six countries was analyzed to map engagement peaks by month, day and hour. While regional trends are visible, the execution varies sharply at the local level.

Here’s what the data reveals.

Brazil: The Q4 Convergence Effect

In Brazil, November and December form a clear peak driven by three converging factors.

The Brasileirão season concludes in early December, with title races and relegation battles intensifying betting activity. At the same time, the Copa Libertadores semifinals and final fall in October and November — and Brazilian clubs’ recent dominance has kept engagement high.

The economic boost comes from the décimo terceiro, Brazil’s mandatory 13th salary paid in two instalments by November 30 and December 20. In 2024 alone, it injected R$321 billion into the economy, increasing disposable income during football’s decisive phase.

Saturday edges out Sunday as the top-performing day, reflecting the league’s fixture concentration. Weekends dominate overall, with a pronounced spike between 1 AM and 5 AM on Friday-to-Saturday nights — a sign that late-night casino sessions complement live sports betting.

Argentina: Aguinaldo and League Finals

December leads the calendar in Argentina, driven by the Liga Profesional’s mid-December conclusion and the aguinaldo, the country’s mandatory 13th salary paid by June 30 and December 18.

Sunday ranks highest for engagement, closely followed by Saturday, aligning with concentrated weekend fixtures. The peak activity window — midnight to 3 AM on Saturday-to-Sunday nights — reflects pre-match anticipation and late-night casino play following the workweek.

The pattern closely mirrors Brazil’s Q4 surge, but with a stronger Sunday bias.

Mexico: Liguilla and Late-Night Culture

December again stands out, coinciding with the Liga MX Apertura playoffs (Liguilla) and the championship final in mid-December. The aguinaldo — at least 15 days’ salary, paid by December 20 — provides additional liquidity at the same time.

Sunday leads weekly activity, with Saturday close behind. However, Mexico’s most distinctive feature is its consistent 2–3 AM activity peak across all days, amplified on weekends.

This pattern suggests a strong late-night gambling culture, where casino verticals such as slots, crash games and live dealer experiences drive engagement alongside sports betting.

Chile: September Over December

Unlike its regional peers, Chile’s biggest month is September — not December.

The surge is powered by Fiestas Patrias (September 18–19), the country’s most significant national celebration. When calendar alignment allows, festivities can stretch into a full week, with fondas, music and social gatherings creating a nationwide party atmosphere that extends into online gambling.

Saturday is the dominant day, with activity elevated throughout. Peaks occur around midnight on Friday-to-Saturday nights and again during Saturday afternoon (3–5 PM), indicating a blend of late-night casino play and daytime sports betting.

Peru: The Purple Month Effect

October and November represent Peru’s peak period, with November slightly ahead.

The Clausura tournament reaches its decisive stretch in early November, while October is dominated by Señor de los Milagros — the country’s largest religious festival. Celebrations extend into All Saints’ Day (November 1) and Day of the Dead (November 2), creating a sustained festive period.

Unlike Brazil and Mexico, Peru’s engagement is concentrated during daytime weekend hours, particularly morning and afternoon. This suggests a stronger alignment with live Liga 1 fixtures rather than late-night casino sessions.

Colombia: Primetime Precision

In Colombia, November leads, with October close behind.

The Torneo Finalización enters its cuadrangulares (semifinal group stage) during this period, building toward a December final. Anticipation around the prima de servicios — a mandatory half-month salary bonus due by December 20 — also supports late-year liquidity.

Sunday is the clear weekly leader, with evening primetime activity standing out. Engagement closely mirrors Liga BetPlay broadcast schedules, indicating sports betting is the primary driver rather than late-night casino behaviour.

The Bigger Picture: Regional Liquidity, Local Execution

Across LATAM, the Q4 bonus cycle — décimo terceiro, aguinaldo, prima de servicios and similar payouts — represents a predictable liquidity event spanning six major markets within an eight-week window. Crucially, it coincides with domestic football seasons reaching their climax.

However, peak timing differs significantly:

Mexico’s engagement spikes at 2 AM, while Peru’s is daytime-focused.
September outperforms December in Chile.
Colombia revolves around Sunday primetime broadcasts.
Brazil peaks on Saturday nights.

The takeaway is clear: while seasonality patterns are regional, execution must be hyper-local. Campaigns, product pushes and marketing spend need to align not just with the right month — but the right day and even the right hour in each individual market.
