Fantasma Games, the developer of slots beyond gambling, is taking players on a submarine adventure in its latest release, Wins of Nautilus Megaways.

The theme takes inspiration from Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and combines this with striking visuals, stunning animations and authentic sound.

Wins of Nautilus Megaways uses Big Time Gaming’s innovative reel matrix to deliver up to 117,649 ways to win with every spin, but the big win potential does not stop there. The unique Countdown Bomb Feature makes a splash. It is a blocker with a countdown number that ticks down as the game is played and the reels avalanche. This creates a full reel Wild with a big Multiplier when the Countdown Bomb explodes. This happens when the player has won several of sequential of times through the avalanche.

Players must also keep an eye out for the Respin Torpedo which removes random non-winning symbols and causes the reels to avalanche, creating a second chance for wins to land. The feature guarantees at least one avalanche and combines with the Countdown Bomb to keep players submerged in the underwater adventure.

Of course, those that are able to navigate the submarine to the bottom of the ocean are likely to discover Dead Sea Free Spins which are triggered when three Scatter symbols drop onto the reels. Players receive between 12 and 84 Free Spins which are combined with a Progressive Multiplier that can deliver wins of up to 10,000x their original stake. Free Spins can be retriggered.

Wins of Nautilus Megaways has been designed to appeal to players that enjoy Megaways slots and that also seek out games that deliver Full Reel Wilds. The game sits at the high end of the volatility scale, has an RTP of 96.10% and allows players to buy the bonus for 80x their stake in the markets where it is permitted.

Tianzhi Zhou at Fantasma Games said: “Wins of Nautilus Megaways takes players to an underwater world packed with adventure and big win potential. We have taken the legendary work of Jules Verne and put our own twist on it to create a game that visually is like no other – it is truly striking. Of course, we have combined this with thrilling gameplay including our innovative Countdown Bomb feature which builds anticipation with every spin. Wins of Nautilus Megaways is a great addition to our growing portfolio of slots that go beyond gambling and we look forward to seeing players resurface having been on the adventure of a lifetime.”

The new 5×3, 10-payline title features Hold and Win or Free Spins selection and three jackpot tiers.

ELA Games has released Spirit of Savanna, a new online slot that introduces a player-choice bonus mechanic alongside Hold and Win, Free Spins, and three jackpot tiers.

Spirit of Savanna runs on a 5×3 reel grid with 10 paylines and is rated volatility 4 out of 5, according to the supplier. RTP is listed across two ranges: 93.98-94.16% and 96.01-96.12%.

The main differentiator is how a Wild symbol contributes to a winning combination. Instead of triggering a fixed feature, the game prompts players to choose between seven Free Spins or a Hold and Win bonus.

Both bonus paths include a Repeat Win feature that carries the value of the triggering win into each spin of the bonus round. The Free Spins feature can also retrigger using the same Wild-combination logic. The game includes three jackpot tiers, with the Grand Jackpot available either by landing two Antelopes or by filling an entire row with coins during Hold and Win.

Games Global has released Candy Combo 2 Power Combo, developed with exclusive studio partner Slingshot Studios. The new slot follows the original Candy Combo Power Combo and expands the title’s Link&Win gameplay and Power Combo mechanics.

The 5×3, 20-payline game is set in a pastel candy theme and uses five “candy jar” characters above the reels to collect matching symbols and trigger Link&Win modifiers. The Power Combo flow activates a Link&Win bonus played on a 5×4 grid, where cash coins remain in place as new symbols land.

Returning mechanics include Connector symbols with multipliers of up to 10x for completed rows, Collector symbols that gather visible cash values, and Jackpot symbols that award fixed prizes when four matching symbols are collected.

New features include Adder, which adds values to all other landed symbols, and Extender, which unlocks a second independent reel set to extend the Link&Win round. Games Global said up to five features can be active within a single Link&Win round, culminating in Super Power Combo, where all features are active at once. The game also includes Hot Mode, which adds extra feature symbols to the reels, and Upsizer, which offers an option to enhance the Link&Win feature at a cost before the bonus begins.

Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Candy Combo 2 Power Combo builds on its predecessor – one of our most successful titles – by expanding how features interact within the Link&Win format.

“The addition of new jars and the ability to combine multiple mechanics introduces more variation across each round, while staying true to the core gameplay players recognise.”

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “Slingshot Studios has done a brilliantly at evolving a well-established concept by adding depth and flexibility to its feature set.

“The result is a bright, engaging title that enhances a proven mechanic while offering players more ways to experience its core gameplay.”
