Stakelogic promises a wild ride with latest slot
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.”

PropellerAds Unveils Multi-Format Advertising Suite for Scalable User Acquisition (January 2026)
PropellerAds, a leading multi-source performance advertising platform, today launched a deeply integrated multi-format traffic strategy designed to deliver predictable conversions and scalable growth as acquisition costs climb and user attention fragments across devices and platforms.
Since 2011 PropellerAds has expanded beyond its Popunder roots into a full-service adtech platform that now includes Push, In-Page Push (IPP), Native/Display, Survey Traffic, and Telegram Mini Apps (TMA). This move positions the company as one of the few global providers offering integrated reach across traditional web placements and growing social/in-app ecosystems.
Why this matters for advertisers
Rising acquisition costs and cross-device fragmentation make single-format campaigns unreliable. PropellerAds’ multi-format suite lets brands, agencies and affiliates:
- Mix high-volume formats for rapid testing (Popunder) with high-intent formats (Survey Traffic).
- Reach audiences across Android, iOS and desktop with native-style creatives (IPP and Push).
- Tap emerging social channels via in-app experiences (Telegram Mini Apps) for engaged, low-disruption traffic.
The result: more stable scaling, flexible reach, and higher conversion predictability.
Key formats powering the platform
- Popunder Ads — volume and scale
Popunder remains a workhorse for large-scale acquisition, offering massive coverage, direct-click placements and cost control. It’s ideal for fast market tests and high-volume conversion funnels. - Telegram Mini Apps (TMA) — social traffic growth
TMA brings in-app interstitials, banners and task-based units inside Telegram’s Mini Apps. Advertisers gain access to highly engaged social users with performance optimization that preserves user experience. - In-Page Push (IPP) — native, cross-device reach
IPP delivers notification-style creatives embedded within webpages without opt-in, covering Android, iOS and macOS. Its native look and wide device support increase engagement and CTR while filling gaps left by traditional push. - Push Format — persistent outreach
PropellerAds’ Push ads reach users outside browsing sessions via browser notifications. As an early mover in push ads, PropellerAds now delivers billions of daily impressions to support remarketing and time-sensitive campaigns. - Survey Traffic — high-intent audiences
Survey Traffic funnels users who actively participate in surveys to advertiser landing pages, producing audiences with elevated intent—especially effective for finance, subscriptions, rewards, and lead generation verticals.
PropellerAds’ strategic edge
By combining multiple traffic types and automated optimization, PropellerAds aims to protect campaigns from volatility in any single channel. The platform’s cross-format approach helps advertisers adapt to shifting traffic patterns while maintaining ROI targets.
“With user behavior shifting across screens and contexts, PropellerAds’ multi-format synergy is now essential for scalable growth,” says Julia Larionova, Head of Marketing at PropellerAds. “Platforms with integrated formats and automated optimization will gain a competitive advantage as traffic continues to diversify.”
Bottom line
PropellerAds’ multi-format expansion reflects the adtech industry’s shift toward integrated, cross-device acquisition. For marketers facing rising traffic costs and fragmented attention, the platform offers diversified ad formats and performance tools to scale more reliably in 2026 and beyond.

Age of Empires competitive
Team Vitality Enters Age of Empires II Esports with Star-Studded Roster
Team Vitality, one of the most influential names in modern esports, has officially announced its entry into the Age of Empires II competitive scene. This marks a major milestone: the merging of a contemporary esports powerhouse with one of the most iconic real-time strategy franchises in history.
Aiming for the Throne: Star-Studded Roster
Team Vitality isn’t just entering for exposure — they are targeting dominance. The team has assembled a roster featuring three of the most decorated players in Age of Empires II history:
- Hamzah “Hera” El-Baher – The Golden Boy
Known for his unmatched consistency and strategic mastery, Hera defines the modern AoE era. In 2023, he achieved a historic 14-tournament winning streak in S-Tier events. Fresh off his Red Bull Wololo: El Reinado 2024 victory, the current Player of the Year is set to continue his reign under the Vitality banner. - Kai “Liereyy” Kallinger – The Archer God
Renowned for exceptional micro-management and aggressive play, Liereyy brings mechanical perfection and explosive strategies to the squad. A multi-time Red Bull Wololo Champion (II & IV), the Austrian star is widely regarded as one of the most spectacular talents in the game’s history. - Hernán “Hearttt” Pizarro – The Veteran Strategist
With a professional career dating back to 2012 and 80+ tournament appearances, Hearttt is the rock of the team. Named Comeback Player of the Year 2023, the Peruvian strategist provides depth, resilience, and unparalleled tactical insight.
First Major Appearance: Red Bull Wololo 2026
Team Vitality’s AoE II roster will make its competitive debut at Red Bull Wololo 2026: Londinium, one of the most prestigious events on the global RTS calendar. Fans can expect high-level strategic gameplay and the start of Vitality’s quest for world championship titles in the genre.
“At Team Vitality, our expansion is always driven by a certain ambition: to compete for and win World Championships in the world’s most iconic games. Age of Empires and our new superstar lineup align perfectly with that vision… We are honored to be part of this history and can’t wait to welcome AoE fans into the Vitality Hive.” — Danny Engels, Corporate Director, Global Operations, Team Vitality
Why This Matters
Team Vitality’s entry into Age of Empires II is a significant moment for the RTS esports ecosystem:
- It bridges legacy RTS titles and modern esports organizations.
- Brings global visibility to Age of Empires II tournaments.
- Sets the stage for strategic showdowns at major international events.
With Hera, Liereyy, and Hearttt, Team Vitality is positioned to challenge for the top spots in competitive AoE II and potentially reshape the RTS landscape for years to come.
