Relax Gaming, the igaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, has brought some early festive delight to fans of high volatility games with its latest title, Santa’s Stack.

Players create wins through clusters of five or more matching symbols, with wilds, re-spins and the Secret Santa Feature set to help them along in this 8×8 retro-style winter wonderland.

Landing three or more Christmas Trees awards the Free Spins feature and five Free Spins. The more trees the player gets, the more spins they win with a maximum of eight.

Players can have Christmas every day via the Feature Buy option, available in permitted markets, allowing them to buy “Free Spins” at 100x the reference bet size and starts the round with a guaranteed free spins trigger.

The Secret Santa feature is triggered when a Wild symbol is part of the winning cluster. Once the feature is triggered, the winning cluster will convert into mystery symbols and a re-spin will be awarded with the mystery symbols held in place.

During free spins, the Secret Santa feature is active and wild symbols are guaranteed to land at the start of every spin.

Simon Hammon, Chief Product Officer at Relax Gaming, said: “It’s always a pleasure to design innovative games but there is definitely something extra in knowing we are bringing some Christmas cheer to people’s entertainment time as well.

“Set against an engaging retro-style winter wonderland backdrop, Santa’s Stack will be the gift that keeps on giving as we continue to drive differentiation this holiday season!”

Now regarded as one of the industry’s leading aggregators, Relax Gaming provides its partners with one of the most comprehensive selections of games available.

This encompasses a wide range of titles, from its high performing proprietary slots to an expansive library of content from hand-picked third-party studios via its partnership programmes.

In tandem with its continued success, the leading supplier secured the award for Unique Gaming Company of the Year at the UK’s International Gaming Awards in September.

This was preceded by four EGR B2B Awards in July, including Innovation in Mobile and Casino Software Provider, as well as two CasinoBeats Developer Awards at the SBC Summit in Malta.

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.”
