Introducing Heroes Hunt 2 from Fantasma Games
Developer launches sequel to its most successful slot to date promising an even more engaging and entertaining player experience
Fantasma Games is taking players on an incredible adventure in the second instalment of its blockbuster series, Heroes Hunt.
Heroes Hunt 2 Megaways sees players join three characters at the foot of a staircase located in an old castle where stone walls loom high above the ground.
Whispers can be heard from the shadows and there is a foul smell of decay in the air.
The archer puts an arrow to his bow, the wizard gathers her spells and the warrior draws his sword. There is no turning back now…
The player must lead the heroes through the castle to defeat the evil presence and claim the treasure for themselves. Each character is unlockable and delivers its own bonus feature.
The archer shoots a Respin feature where each Respin symbol removes itself and four to nine random non-winning regular or blocker symbols. New symbols then fall to create win opportunities.
The feature also awards a Multiplier to the base game round if it is activated in the base game or to one Free Spin if it is awarded during the Vampire Free Spins round.
The witch conjures an Explosion feature whereby all Explosion symbols erupt and remove themselves, non-winning regular and block symbols in one or two 2×2 areas adjacent to the Explosion symbol or one 3×3 area around the Explosion symbol.
After the explosion, one random regular symbol is selected and is spawned at all of the exploded positions. Boom!
The warrior draws an Expanding Wild feature where each Expanding Wild symbols grows to cover the entire reel, removing all symbols above or below it.
Each Expanding Wild symbol also spawns one Wild symbol and places it at one random position. After all Expanding Wild symbols expand, each gets a random Multiplier of between x2 and x6.
The bonuses do not stop there with two different Free Spins available to help players on their quest – Vampire Free Spins and Werewolf Free Spins.
Players have the option to buy both the Vampire Free Spins and Werewolf Free Spins bonuses in the markets where operators are permitted to offer this feature.
This, combined with the Megaways mechanic and the game’s high volatility, ensures a fun and thrilling player experience with every spin.
Fredrik Johansson, Commercial Director at Fantasma Games, said: “Heroes Hunt is our most popular game launch of all time, so a lot of work has gone in to Heroes Hunt 2 to ensure it takes the player experience to the next level.
“To do this, we spoke to operators, streamers, affiliates and players to learn how we could make the game even better and have then incorporated these improvements into the game.
“The result is a highly animated, narrative led game that delivers high levels of entertainment to players while also building big win anticipation with every spin.
“This really is an incredible slot and we can’t wait to see it land in operator game lobbies and for players to start their own adventure as they seek to defeat evil and find treasures of their own.”

GoldenRace launches V5 mobile solution with unified app and WebGL branding
GoldenRace has launched its next-generation V5 mobile solution, the supplier announced on 1 July 2026 in Malta. The company positions the release as a mobile delivery upgrade for its virtual sports and betting content, aimed at maintaining performance under high player traffic.
According to GoldenRace, V5 consolidates its previous architecture into a single application and “drastically reduces load sizes by 80–90%.” The company also said the platform is built “completely from the ground up” with a unified UI/UX designed to remain responsive across different network conditions.
On product features, GoldenRace said V5 introduces “advanced WebGL capabilities” to support high-fidelity graphics and operator-controlled branding. It also adds native gamification tools across games, including custom Tournaments, Leaderboards and Free Bets.
The company also outlined three mobile upgrades intended to reduce friction in the betting flow: a Lobby with modular layouts and a one-click toggle between scheduled and instant views; a next-generation Betslip with richer visual components and “smart organisation”; and dynamic Leaderboards with configurable funding and custom point logic.
GoldenRace said operators can switch to V5 by “changing a single line of code,” and added that a demo is available for operators evaluating the new mobile solution.

API
St8 adds game round replays to its single API platform
Replay tool builds on St8’s graphical game round details and launches first with nine casino game studios.
St8 has launched game round replays, adding visual playback of completed casino game rounds to its existing single API platform. The company said the feature is designed to help operators verify outcomes faster and resolve player queries more efficiently.
The new capability builds on St8’s graphical game round details, which it said is already used by operators. With replays, support and operations teams can access a round’s visual playback to investigate gameplay disputes and respond to players with more transparency.
St8 also positioned the feature as a player engagement tool, with operators able to surface notable moments such as big wins and bonus rounds for promotional use.
Game round replays will initially support titles from AvatarUX, BGaming, Endorphina, Hacksaw, Peter & Sons, Pragmatic Play, Scatter Kings, Shady Lady, and Tequity Originals, with more providers to be added. St8 said the feature is delivered through its existing single API integration and requires no additional development work, and is intended to scale across multiple brands and regulated markets.
David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said: “Operators are under increasing pressure to deliver exceptional customer support while keeping operational costs under control. Our graphical game round details have become a trusted and widely used tool for operators, giving support teams quick access to the information they need to resolve player queries efficiently. Game round replays complement this capability by providing a visual playback of each round, helping teams resolve cases even faster and with complete confidence.
“Beyond operational efficiency, the feature also opens up new opportunities for engagement. Operators can showcase exciting gameplay moments, celebrate big wins and create richer player experiences – all through the same integration. Because game round replays are delivered through our existing single API, partners can access this functionality immediately while continuing to benefit from the simplicity and scalability that sit at the heart of the St8 platform.”
