Will you strike gold in Old Fellow by Stakelogic?
Software developer’s latest slot combines madcap mining action with massively multiplied payouts
Team up with a profit-hungry crew of prospectors in Old Fellow by Stakelogic – the brand-new release from the in-demand software studio that sees players descend into a gem-filled mine as they look to strike gold with a maximum multiplier of up to 50,000x their bet.
Played across a 5×4 reel matrix that features 20 win lines, Old Fellow takes place in front of a wild canyon backdrop, where basking iguanas and carts loaded with precious stones set the tone for the adventure ahead. The unique symbols to feature on the reels are all gems of varying colours, while the scatter icon depicts a treasure chest that’s packed to bursting with rubies, diamonds and more.
This treasure chest symbol is key to triggering the game’s main bonus feature, with players needing to land three or more chests in a single spin to receive 12 free spins. When this happens, the reels descend deep into the mines as the backdrop changes to a cave adorned with lanterns and pickaxes – and here players will find their winning potential is massively boosted by two special wild features.
First and foremost, all wild symbols that appear during Free Spins will now be sticky, meaning they’ll lock in place on the reels and will remain there for the duration of the feature. On top of that, however, all wilds will also be subject to a prize multiplier that increases based on how many there are on any given reel, with a maximum multiplier of 4x available when a reel becomes totally filled with wilds.
Naturally, these features combined become incredibly rewarding for players – with all wilds remaining on the reels and the multiplier values increasing as new ones are added – but to top it off, once players have successfully landed a sticky wild on each reel, they’ll even receive an additional five Free Spins.
With the Free Spins feature being a lucrative as it is, players who don’t want to wait to trigger it manually will also be able to buy directly into the bonus round. When this option is selected, they’ll simply have to click the green button to confirm their stake and three scatters will automatically line-up on the reels on the next spin, granting them instant access to 12 Free Spins with the added wilds.
As a final gameplay incentive, Old Fellow again offers players a gamble feature where they’ll have the chance to double or quadruple their winnings by guessing the colour or suit of a playing card respectively. If they pick correctly, their new prize will be calculated and they’ll have the option to pick another card, while an incorrect guess will exit the feature and return them to the base game.
Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic said: “We’re inviting players to join the gold rush this month with the launch of our brand-new Old Fellow slot.
“With an exciting Free Spins feature where sticky wilds and multipliers can combine for truly massive payouts, who knows what riches they’ll uncover when they descend into those big-money mines?”

Vegangster Gives Operators Real-Time Jackpot Control and a New Revenue Stream with Sharedluck’s JackpotX
Platform provider Vegangster has completed the integration of JackpotX, a flexible jackpot engine developed by Sharedluck, giving operators a new way to run scalable jackpot campaigns across brands and game catalogues. The integration focuses on player-contribution jackpots, creating an additional revenue stream for operators.
JackpotX provides more granular control than traditional jackpot tools. Operators can configure several jackpot tiers, define custom triggers, and adjust campaign parameters in real time without downtime. This makes it easier to launch targeted campaigns quickly and align jackpots with specific retention or promotional objectives.
With the integration, Vegangster clients can manage jackpots directly inside their existing back office. Campaigns can be linked to selected brands, game groups, or specific player cohorts, with real-time performance insights available through Sharedluck’s dashboards. This helps teams monitor engagement, track contribution levels, and optimise campaigns while they are Running.
For players, jackpot values update in real time across all touchpoints, including lobby displays, game interfaces, and promotional banners, creating visible momentum as prizes grow. This transparency drives catalogue exploration and extends session time, giving operators a practical tool for supporting both short-term promotional bursts and longer-term engagement Strategies.

Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, said:
“Jackpots remain one of the clearest levers for engagement in online casinos. Sharedluck built an engine that offers operators the level of precision and flexibility they expect from modern tools. With JackpotX inside Vegangster, teams can run customised jackpot campaigns at the speed their operations require.”
The partnership brings Sharedluck’s jackpot engine directly into Vegangster’s ecosystem, giving operators a straightforward way to deploy contribution-based jackpots and track performance through real-time analytics.
Chris Scicluna, Co-Founder at Sharedluck, said:
“We are excited to bring JackpotX to Vegangster operators. In successful campaigns, we have seen higher retention, longer session times, stronger conversion from casual to regular play, and clear uplift in VIP-focused promotions. We look forward to seeing Vegangster clients achieve similar results.”
The integration is now available for all Vegangster operators. Existing clients can enable JackpotX through their account manager, with configuration handled inside the Vegangster back office and supported by Sharedluck’s analytics dashboards. New operators can access the module during onboarding as part of their standard setup process.
Operators can get a closer look at JackpotX at ICE Barcelona, Fira Barcelona Gran Via, 19–21 January 2026, with live demos available at stand 1E20.

Games Global and Fortune Factory Studios wrap up 2025 with supercharged sequel Gold Blitz Express™
Games Global and its exclusive studio partner, Fortune Factory Studios, have launched a high-voltage finale to 2025 with Gold Blitz Express
, the latest iteration of its dynamic franchise.
Building on the proven popular foundations of its predecessors, Gold Blitz Express
retains the titular cash collect mechanic and bonus choice, but amps up the sequel with a brand-new Blitz Express feature and deeper bonus progression.
The Blitz Express mechanic is activated when a train symbol lands on reel six on any spin. A train steams across the reels pulling up to 20 carts, with each awarding a cash prize or one of four fixed jackpots, the total value of which is collected and awarded.
The studio has also elevated Gold Blitz
spins with the introduction of an Accumulation Trail, which collects each Blitz symbol that hits. Every third collected awards additional spins and an increasing multiplier, with up to 14 spins and a 5x maximum multiplier, surging win potential.
Supplementing the action further is the integration of Games Global’s Rising Rewards
jackpot, where every coin boosts the prize pot up to 200x, which can be randomly paid out.
The Gold Blitz
series continues to define industry trends from a player control perspective. In addition to the bonus choice and bonus buy options, a Win Booster
doubles the likelihood of activating features, while Bonus Recharge
offers an opportunity to purchase an extra spin following feature completion.
Gold Blitz Express
represents the latest evolution of one of the industry’s most diverse, battle-tested game franchises, spotlighting Fortune Factory Studios’ continued commitment to creating products that perform.
Alexander Monsma, Team Manager, Game Sales at Games Global, said: “2025 marks the fourth consecutive year that we have unveiled a Gold Blitz
game toward the end of December – it is the perfect way to ring in the new year.
“Gold Blitz Express
is the most feature-rich upgrade to date, electrifying the environment with even more variety and potential.”
David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy & Partner Management at Games Global, added: “The Gold Blitz
brand remains one of the strongest franchises in our portfolio, and Gold Blitz Express
builds on that success by extending the series with genuine depth. The introduction of new elements, such as the Blitz Express feature, feels like a natural evolution of the brand.
“It’s a fitting way to close out 2025, with the continued performance of the series reflecting Fortune Factory’s ability to create games with lasting appeal and sustained engagement. We can’t wait to showcase our upcoming lineup within this franchise and more as we enter 2026.”
