Sought-after software providers get in the holiday spirit with new release that’s bursting with Free Spins and other festive features
Get ready to go dashing through the snow with Wild Stocking from Stakelogic – the new seasonal slot from the in-demand software providers that combines all the hallmarks of the holiday season with a flurry of festive features.
Designed to get slot fans in the mood for the Christmas period, Wild Stocking invites players to explore a winter wonderland that’s decked out with candy canes, glowing lanterns and cheerful snowmen. Featuring a 5×4 grid that provides an incredible 1,024 ways to win, unique symbols to appear on the reels include elves, reindeer and even jolly old St. Nick himself, who’s the game’s most valuable icon.
With a top maximum payout of up to 25,000x players’ bet, Wild Stocking also comes stuffed full of bonus features, with expanding wilds, Free Spins and pick-and-click wins all waiting to be unwrapped. Whether players have been naughty or nice, all they need to do to get started on the sleigh ride to riches is land three bonus stockings or three or more present scatter symbols anywhere on the reels.
Starting with the stockings, if players find three of these special icons anywhere in view during a base game spin, they’ll be transported to a new screen where instant cash prizes can be won. Here they’ll get to pick from a selection of treat-stuffed stockings, with each choice unveiling a random cash prize.
Should they manage to land three or more present scatter symbols during the base game, meanwhile, players will be awarded up to 10 Free Spins and will again get to make up to six stocking picks to activate additional modifiers. On top of that, all wild symbols that feature during the Free Spins will boast a prize multiplier, meaning all wins they complete will be worth up to 5x the regular payout.
With all wilds also expanding to fill the entire reel in both the base game and the Free Spins feature, this creates plenty of opportunities for players to make off with a festive fortune. However, if they want to tear into their presents early, they can elect to activate Stakelogic’s signature Super Stake mode to add extra scatters to the reels or even enter the feature directly using the Buy Bonus option.
As a final yuletide treat, all Wild Stocking wins can be doubled or quadrupled in the game’s gamble feature. Here, players simply need to correctly guess the colour or suit of a random playing card to boost their prize, and they can continue doing so until the slot’s maximum win has been secured.
Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic said: “In our new Wild Stocking slot, we’re inviting players to come dashing through the snow with us on a fun-filled ride that’s packed with festive features. With Free Spins, expanding wilds and instant cash prizes all up for grabs, it doesn’t matter if they’ve been naughty or nice – all players will have the chance to unwrap top wins of up 25,000x their stake.”

Former WBC cruiserweight champion to appear at PartyPoker Tour UK stops and take part in online activations.
PartyPoker has appointed former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion Tony Bellew as a brand ambassador for the remainder of 2026, with appearances tied to the operator’s live PartyPoker Tour and online poker offering.
The company said Bellew will be “a regular face” at its remaining UK tour stops this season following an earlier appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. Bellew will also take part in online activity linked to the PartyPoker schedule.
“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.
PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.
The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.
In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.
“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”
The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.
For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.
The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
