Just in time for the holidays, Rapid Rewards is rapidly becoming more lucrative for High 5 Games partners. The US-based slot maker today announced that its highly popular player retention tool will now feature a Super Boost Journey Promotion along with a combined prize pool of $50,000 per month in the US.

Lauren Gazneli, Director of Client Partner for High 5 Games, commented: “With more and more partners signing on to Rapid Rewards, we’re excited to make some significant enhancements, particularly in the US market. This is huge news for partners and players, and only the start of big things ahead.”

Rapid Rewards is High 5 Games’ promotional system that randomly awards players with both cash and in-game Journey promotions on select High 5 Games titles. Players making qualifying wagers at participating online casinos will automatically be eligible to receive a random prize without having to opt in, and the program is fully managed and supported by High 5 Games. Prizes currently include cash, Feature Boosts, and 3x Pays.

High 5 Games is also adding Super Boosts to the mix, a ready-to-go in-game promotion that turns spins into super boosted spins. With Super Boost, game mechanics are enhanced so key features progress faster and offer bigger wins, more often.

High 5 Games is also combining Rapid Rewards in Michigan and New Jersey, offering players in those two states the chance to share in a prize pool worth $50,000 each month.

Already in the works and ready to be released in the new year, players will also be able to collect the Journey promotions and play them at a future date. Players can access an in-game Rapid Rewards menu and choose the deferred promotions at a time that’s convenient for them before the month’s end.

The panel, part of the event’s “Product Visionaries” track, is titled Casino Product Innovation & Content: The Future of Slots. According to the company, discussion will focus on how slot design is moving beyond “traditional solo experiences” toward “socialised play,” including co-op jackpots, friend challenges and audience-influenced features.

The agenda also includes the use of data-led design to build engaged “micro-audiences,” and how “cinematic storytelling, branded crossovers, and episodic content drops” are changing slot content strategy.

Vonarshenko will be joined by Janick Bonnici, Principal Gaming Content Manager at Betsson Group, and Steve Cutler, CEO and co-founder of KALAMBA. Arjan Korstjens, Principal at the Casino Marketing Academy, will moderate the session.

Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNW) has released TimeLink Pyramid Dawn, the first title in its new TimeLink franchise from in-house studio Lightning Box, with an exclusive rollout to Caesars customers in New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ontario.

The 1024-ways slot introduces a “Perceived Persistence” mechanic and a new take on Cash on Reel Respin. In the base game, Active Rings can land on reels 0 and 6 and hold for three spins. When a Scatter Train aligns with a ring, base game respins are triggered, awarding Cash Prizes on reels 1 to 5 with a random chance for wins to repeat up to nine times. Scatter Trains may also build the Time Train Meter, which triggers the TimeLink Feature when full.

During the TimeLink Feature, players start with three spins and up to five Active Rows. Scatter Trains that land in an inactive ring activate the row and reset the counter, with Cash Prizes collected and awarded at the end. Scatter Clocks can upgrade values, while Scatter Jackpot symbols unlock the Jackpot Collection, which is played once TimeLink concludes.

The Jackpot Collection includes fixed and progressive prizes, with Mega, Grand and Major operating as progressive jackpots and Mini and Minor as fixed awards. Light & Wonder said the progressives are reseeded automatically after each win. The title also includes a Free Games feature triggered by Bonus Scatters, awarding eight Free Games with retriggers available, plus Wild 2x and Wild 3x multipliers that can combine.

Michael Maokhamphiou, Studio Director at Lightning Box, said: “TimeLink Pyramid Dawn is an exciting first step for this new franchise.

“We have built a mechanic that keeps momentum high across gameplay, while combining it with jackpots and features that add real commercial weight for our operator partners.”
