New Jade Of The Jungle game promises Free Spins and wild wins across two sets of reels

Grab your compass and get ready to venture into the wildest depths of the Amazon in Jade Of The Jungle by Stakelogic & Jelly, a brand-new game from the innovative slot providers that features symbol nudges, Free Spins and – for the first time ever – two sets of reels.

The first release from the studio to utilise the dynamic “Dual Reel” system, Jade Of The Jungle takes place across two separate 3×3 game boards that are uniquely decorated with all manner of exotic symbols, including tribal masks, animal deities and icons that represent each of the four elements.

Wins are counted from left to right on either reel set, with seven paylines on each combining for a total of 14 separate ways to win. One of the more volatile slots from Stakelogic, players can get their hands on a top win multiplier of 2,976x for landing the most valuable jade symbol in all 18 reel spaces.

Aside from the slot’s innovative base game mechanic, Jade Of The Jungle also boasts a number of nifty features that will help players make it back to civilisation clutching an armful of treasure. For one, whenever a big win is near or the bonus round is just one symbol away from being triggered, the random nudge feature can shift the reels in players’ favour by moving any missing symbol into view.

This can help them gain access to a Free Spins feature that is normally triggered by landing three scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Whether this occurs naturally during the base game or with the help of the random nudge feature, players will be granted an initial 12 Free Spins with the added incentive that every subsequent scatter will add more Free Spins and remove the lowest value symbol.

This means that if players manage to extend the feature for long enough by landing additional scatters, eventually they’ll reach a point where only high value symbols remain on the reels, with this being key to activating some of the game’s bigger payouts and evening out the high volatility of its base game.

As a final incentive, Jade Of The Jungle is another game to be included in Stakelogic’s growing catalogue of Super Stake slots. In this version of the studio’s trademark bonus feature, if players decide to activate Super Stake mode by increasing their bet, one base game symbol will be chosen at random, with multiple versions of this symbol then being added to the reels along with extra substitute wilds.

Salvatore Campione, Head of Greenlogic at Stakelogic said: “Like an intrepid explorer taking his first steps into the wild, we’re treading new ground with Jade Of The Jungle.
“The game is the first “Dual Reel” title from Stakelogic, with two 3×3 game boards providing more ways for players to win big and access the Free Spins feature. Throw in our now-legendary Super Stake mode and it’s clear Jade Of The Jungle promises to be another unforgettable adventure for players.

There is still much more to achieve.”

EF highlighted Faker’s competitive record, describing him as a six-time League of Legends World Champion, EWC 2024 winner, two-time MSI champion and ten-time domestic champion with T1.

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.
