Booming Games has released its latest slot “Diamond Forge: Link & Loot”. Boasting a 5×3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, the game offers players a maximum win potential of 10,000x. Set on a classic, diamond background, two explosive bonus features provide the ultimate experience for those seeking entertaining gameplay.

Every Diamond collected charges the Diamond Boost, which can be triggered in either the base game or from free spins. Boasting the ability to erupt at any moment, it can award up to 8 extra Diamonds onto the reels to instantly trigger the powerful Link & Loot feature. Players who collect 6 or more Diamonds are awarded 5 Link & Loot spins, where adjacent diamond symbols land and merge to create bigger symbols.

Players can create Colossal symbols of 2×2 and above to award a Colossal spin, where they can win higher value prizes or even the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Prizes. This culminates in the ultimate Colossal of 5×3 Diamonds capable of unleashing the biggest rewards.

Elsewhere, players who find 3 or more Scatters are awarded with 8 Free Spins and a boosted chance of triggering the Link & Loot feature again as they deploy colossal Diamonds toward the 10,000x maximum win.

Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Diamonds are a player’s best friend! Diamond Forge: Link & Loot is a modern twist on a classic theme, which we’re confident will be as popular as previous iterations of the Link & Look series. Innovative bonus features set on a familiar 5×3 grid combine to create an ultimate gameplay experience with significant win potential. Play Diamond Forge: Link & Loot now!”

Following the recent launch of Winz.nl, powered by The Mill Adventure (TMA), we sat down with Bjørnar Heggernes, Chief Commercial Officer at The Mill Adventure, to discuss how technology, true partnerships and player-centric innovation are the keys to succeeding in the Netherlands and beyond.

Powering a new brand in a regulated market like the Netherlands is often seen as a compliance minefield. How does TMA help a partner like Winz.nl navigate these complexities while maintaining a focus on growth?

Bjørnar Heggernes: It is correct that the Dutch market is one of the most rigorous and demanding in the world. For a new brand, the technical overhead of meeting KSA standards, ranging from CRUKS (the central player exclusion register) integration to complex reporting, can be very difficult to overcome.

Our philosophy is centred around a compliance-first approach. We support complex regulated markets through configurable, jurisdiction-specific workflows. This means the heavy lifting of regulatory logic is handled at the core platform level. For the Netherlands, this includes localised onboarding, responsible gaming automation, CRUKS and CCBR integrations, vault reporting, and intervention controls.

For Winz.nl, this was critical. We provided the technical and compliance infrastructure required for the Dutch market, allowing them to move from licence acquisition to a full launch with total confidence.

With recent warnings from the KSA chair regarding the growth of the black market, there is a clear need for better channelisation. How can regulated brands use innovation to lure players away from illegal sites without resorting to aggressive tactics?

BH: To improve channelisation efforts, the regulated offer must be the superior choice and not just the compliant one. Through our AI-driven SmartLobbies, we automate the casino experience to ensure players see the content they actually enjoy in real-time. Another real game-changer for channelisation is our loyalty framework, exemplified by Winz.nl’s WinClub. It replaces traditional, operator-driven bonus mechanics with a player-initiated model where players earn points and choose their own rewards from a catalogue. It’s transparent, it aligns with responsible gambling principles, and it builds genuine trust. When a player feels in control and is presented with a comprehensive experience that is tailored to them, the unregulated alternative loses its appeal.

We often hear about the hold that legacy operators have on market share. Why is the partnership between an operator and a platform provider the deciding factor for a new brand’s survival?

BH: In today’s B2B landscape, a platform provider must be a strategic growth partner. Large-scale operators can be slowed down by massive, multi-layered infrastructures that make rapid pivoting difficult. Operator groups like Orange Gaming succeed because they are agile. Our partnership works because we provide the technical flexibility and regulatory infrastructure needed to support a differentiated brand while maintaining strong compliance controls. When a platform is modular, the operator can adapt to a sudden regulatory change or a shift in player appetite in days, not months. That speed-to-market is a crucial way to carve out share in a highly competitive regulated market.

How does a technologically advanced platform, one that utilises AI and real-time Business Intelligence (BI), tangibly impact an operator’s bottom line?

BH: It comes down to operational efficiency. Many established brands have massive internal teams manually managing lobbies and CRM campaigns, whereas our platform automates these manual processes. By using real-time BI and AI, a brand can identify and serve niche segments very effectively. For example, our SmartLobbies solution ensures the gaming content is relevant to the individual, which increases retention and Lifetime Value (LTV). We want our partners to make quicker, smarter decisions based on live data. In the Dutch market, where margins are tight and competition is fierce, that level of automation can make all the difference in terms of sustained profitability.
