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.”

Swedish gaming giant’s industry signals commitment to the UK regulated market by launching it leading portfolio of games with Ivy Casino

Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has today announced that its industry leading portfolio of games is now live with Ivy Casino in the UK.

Ivy Casino’s players in the United Kingdom can now access global smash hits from Play’n GO, including Book of Dead, Legacy of Dead, and Rise of Olympus 100 among many others.

Ivy Casino is a UK-facing online casino brand that launched in 2024 with a focus on delivering a premium, player-centric experience tailored specifically for the UK market.

The brand operates alongside two sister sites, Rose Casino and O’Reels, which also serve UK audiences and share the same commitment to high-quality entertainment, strong user experience and robust responsible gaming standards.

Play’n GO has been one of the leading game suppliers in the UK for many years and is steadfast in its commitment to regulated markets globally.

Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer of Play’n GO, said:

“We are delighted to launch with Ivy Casino in the UK who, like us, are focused on all the key elements of operating within a regulated market framework. I’m sure this is just the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership.”

Play’n GO is a proud sponsor of the Moneygram Haas Formula 1 team, and recently launched a fashion brand, Play’n GO Shop, to sit alongside its existing Play’n GO Music brand to give fans more ways to connect with Play’n GO.

In October, Play’n GO set a world record by launching everyone’s favourite slot character, Garga, into space reaching a height of over 35,500m as part of the launch campaign for Reactoonz 100 which instantly became one of the biggest game launches of the year for the company.

Esportes da Sorte, one of Brazil’s leading online betting platforms, will be the official sponsor of New Year’s Eve celebrations in four Brazilian capitals: Salvador, Recife, Natal and Maceió. The initiative reinforces the brand’s growing presence in the national cultural calendar and its strategy to connect with large-scale public celebrations beyond the digital environment.

New Year’s Eve is one of Brazil’s most significant annual moments, marked by intense domestic travel, international tourism and mass public participation. By supporting celebrations in four key destinations, Esportes da Sorte aligns its brand with tradition, culture and shared experiences that resonate deeply with local communities.

“Sponsoring New Year’s Eve celebrations in four capitals reflects our commitment to being present in moments that bring people together,” said Marcela Campos, Vice President of the Esportes Gaming Brasil Group, owner of the Esportes da Sorte brand. “Supporting these cities means valuing their cultural identity, strengthening local ecosystems and celebrating the people who keep these traditions alive year after year.”

Across all four capitals, the brand will activate its presence through immersive experiences, public-facing activations and the distribution of branded giveaways — a hallmark of Esportes da Sorte’s engagement strategy at major events. The activations are designed to enhance the festive atmosphere while reinforcing the brand’s connection with culture, entertainment and responsible enjoyment.

The New Year’s Eve sponsorships build on Esportes da Sorte’s broader cultural engagement strategy, which includes long-standing support for large-scale events such as Carnatal, in Rio Grande do Norte — a key fixture in the state’s tourism and cultural calendar. Together, these initiatives reflect the company’s commitment to expanding its footprint in cultural sponsorships nationwide.

Esportes da Sorte’s participation also mirrors a wider trend within Brazil’s regulated betting market, as operators increasingly diversify their sponsorship portfolios beyond football. Music, festivals and cultural celebrations have become strategic platforms for brands seeking broader visibility, deeper community ties and more sustainable engagement with the public.
