B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming has launched the latest in its hugely successful ‘Fat’ slot series, Fat Drac.

Following Fat Rabbit and Fat Santa, the third in the string of popular titles features the studio’s unique twist on a classic theme, taking players on a visit to a vampire’s mysterious castle in pursuit of spooky successes.

A 5×5 reel set with 40 win lines, play in the base game sees players searching for the Fat Drac symbol, which acts as both a Reveal and a Scatter symbol.

When it lands, it can reveal a paying or a bat symbol, with the latter seeing the bat fly to an instant prize bubble, awarding players with the value attached. If the Fat Drac symbol lands with one or more goblets also present on the reels, the free games round is triggered.

Instant prize bubbles are found in both the base game and free games round and offer multipliers that can reach all the way up to 50,000. A total of seven prize bubbles are shown and nudge by one position with every spin. A Fat Bat symbol can also land at any time, allowing collection of all prize bubbles displayed.

Players must also keep an eye on a meter that follows Drac’s progress as he consumes more goblets with every corresponding symbol. Each time a level increases, free spins are awarded.

Commenting on the release, James Marshall, CEO at Push Gaming said: “We’re looking forward to the latest release in our Fat series. Fat Drac is another game with our typical awesome production values and has an even fatter selection of engaging features!”

In time for Halloween, but relevant any time of year, Fat Drac is full of random rumbles and mischievous bats which add a real depth to the theme and overall gameplay.”

This latest release comes on the back of a hugely successful year for Push Gaming, having picked up honours in the recent Casino Beats Game Developer Awards and also being shortlisted for a further four crowns at the prestigious EGR B2B Awards 2021.

Push Gaming continues to build on the growth momentum gained from 2020’s acquisition of an MGA and UKGC-licensed platform and furthering its expansion ambitions across Europe with several new market entries prepared for the coming months.

Established as one of the industry’s most entertaining suppliers, Push Gaming is live across the majority of Europe’s key regulated markets with the likes of Casumo, LeoVegas, Entain and The Rank Group

Modernization adds Momentum ecosystem tools and rolls out new terminals and self-service machines to 1,000+ retailers statewide.

Scientific Games has completed a technology systems conversion for the New Mexico Lottery, modernizing lottery operations with a new gaming system and rolling out retail technology to more than 1,000 locations across the state. The update went live May 11, 2026, according to the company.

Scientific Games said the new system now powers the Lottery’s draw-based and Scratchers’ sales and is designed to simplify product management for retailers.

“The New Mexico Lottery is officially live with new, modern technology systems that work together to enhance all aspects of our operations and ensure we are well-positioned for our next era of growth,” said David Barden, CEO of the New Mexico Lottery. “We’ve strategically planned every step of this holistic modernization effort with Scientific Games to intelligently operate our retail network, making our Scratchers games easier for retailers to manage in their stores and easily accessible to our valued players.”

Scientific Games said the conversion was developed over the past year and is built on its Momentum ecosystem. Components cited include an advanced central gaming system, the SciTrak instant game distribution system, the gem | intelligence retailer licensing and management portal and the INFUSE business intelligence platform. The company said WAVE clerk-operated terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines will be deployed to retailers in planned phases.

“Congratulations to the New Mexico Lottery for building upon our long-standing instant scratch game partnership, embracing innovation for the future,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “We are proud to serve as the Lottery’s full-line partner and help drive maximum proceeds for New Mexico college students.”
