Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, kicks off the New Year by welcoming players to try out its latest spellbinding slot title, Magician’s Secrets™.

Providing players with an impressive 4,096 ways to win and a randomly triggered expanding Wild feature that provides multiplier values worth up to 10x the bet.

The Magician always has a trick up his sleeve, but he also hides some big wins up there too. Wild symbols help players complete winning paylines, while landing three Scatter symbols will trigger the Bonus Round.

However, players will be presented with two Bonus round options when this is triggered, including the Expanding Wilds Bonus Round and the Sticky Wilds Bonus Round.

Expanding Wilds awards players with 10 free spins, a multiplier that increases with each respin, and the opportunity to retrigger them, while Sticky Wilds awards eight free spins and an extra three spins for each reel players fill with a pre-selected Sticky Wild symbol.

Premium symbols pay anywhere up to 100x the player’s stake for six of a kind wins, and the Magician’s Wild steps in for all paying symbols to help complete winning combinations.

Magician’s Secrets arrives shortly after recent releases Crystal Caverns Megaways, Smugglers Coveand festive hit Christmas Big Bass Bonanza™, which reside amongst a collection of over 200 HTML5 titles in Pragmatic Play’s award-winning games portfolio.

Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “We are thrilled to be able to start the New Year as strongly as we ended it, with Magician’s Secretssetting the standard for what is to arrive over the next 12 months.

“The game is littered with Wild symbols that can have a huge impact over the base game and the Bonus Rounds, so players can expect to enjoy a huge variety of different wins and multipliers.”

Pragmatic Play currently produces up to five new slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino, Virtual Sports and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.

Scientific Games Unveils “GAME SHOW EXPERIENCE”: A Multi-Million Dollar Omnichannel Linked Game

Scientific Games, the global leader in lottery games, has officially launched GAME SHOW EXPERIENCE. Announced on January 6, 2026, this new omnichannel “Linked Game” leverages the massive brand equity of three iconic Fremantle television properties to offer players across the United States a chance to win up to $10 million in cash.

This launch follows the company’s proven strategy of combining retail tickets with digital second-chance opportunities to drive incremental sales for state lotteries.

The Brands: TV’s Powerhouse Lineup

The promotion features a “triple-threat” of game show nostalgia and modern popularity, specifically chosen after a 2025 consumer study confirmed their high purchase intent across all demographics:

  • THE PRICE IS RIGHT: Television’s longest-running game show, celebrated for over five decades of Emmy-winning entertainment.

  • FAMILY FEUD: Currently the #1 rated syndicated show for adults 25-54, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026.

  • PRESS YOUR LUCK: A high-stakes favorite known for the legendary “Whammy” and strategic gameplay.

The Prize: An Exclusive Hollywood Experience

Lucky winners from participating U.S. lotteries will be awarded a “Linked Game” experiential prize package that takes them to the heart of the entertainment world:

  • Host City: Los Angeles, California.

  • Date: Fall 2027.

  • The Trip: A five-day, four-night “white glove” experience in the entertainment capital.

  • The Highlight: Winners will attend a live taping of The Price is Right as special guests.

  • The Event: Following the taping, the lottery winners will take center stage on the iconic set for a private GAME SHOW EXPERIENCE event, where they will compete for a share of up to $10 million.

Omnichannel Strategy and Market Impact

Scientific Games pioneered the “Linked Game” concept in 2007. To date, these programs—including hits like Willy Wonka and Deal or No Deal—have generated more than US$6.6 billion in retail value.

Feature Details
Game Formats Instant Scratch, Fast Play, and Digital (iLottery)

“The incredibly broad appeal of these classic TV game show brands makes the GAME SHOW EXPERIENCE a perfect promotion for lottery, bringing to life the surprise, joy, and wins that players love,” said Tina Hoover, VP of Licensing for Scientific Games.
