iSoftBet, the leading online games supplier and content aggregator, invites players to try their luck and harness the power of mysterious gems in new release, The Magic Orb.

This 7×7, cluster-paying game features a host of exciting rewards waiting to be discovered, with a magical Orb placed in the centre of the grid ready to fire up on any spin, rewarding players with one of the four random mini modifiers or triggering one of the two bonus rounds.

The various modifiers that the Orb can trigger are: Transform, which changes one symbol type into another; Wild, which adds extra random Wilds to the layout; Multiplier, which boosts all wins on that spin; and Destruction, which shatters all but one type of pay symbol.

Payouts are formed by landing five or more matching symbols in a single cluster, with gold-backed gems being the most valuable of all, awarding impressive multipliers worth 500x the bet when 15 or more of the top-paying purple ones land in a winning combination.

The Hold & Win Respins bonus can be triggered by the Magic Orb, or by landing five or more Scatter symbols anywhere in view. Each time this is triggered, three initial respins are awarded, which will reset to three every time a new symbol lands.

During the Hold & Win feature, at least one of the Pot Prizes, worth 25x, 50x or 100x, is guaranteed to be triggered, while filling the entire grid will award the Mega Pot prize worth 250x the bet.

The Free Drops feature can be won by landing 3 Bonus Scatter symbols anywhere in view or as one of the orb awards. During Free Drops an unlimited multiplier is in play and will increase by x1 for every cascading drop, while the orb can also deliver one of the modifiers during the bonus round.

The Magic Orb marks the latest addition to iSoftBet’s extensive slot portfolio, headlined by leading Megaways™ and Hold & Win titles, such as recent release Gold Digger Megaways™ and the top performing Brilliant Diamonds: Hold & Win.

Mark Claxton, Head of Games at iSoftBet, said: “Following on from the glitz and glamour of our previous releases, The Magic Orb is a shining example of the innovative experiences that we at iSoftBet are known to produce.

“We are always searching for new ways to bring added value to our portfolio in order to fully engage our players, and by utilising an assortment of popular mechanics and features in this game, we feel we have definitely achieved that goal.”

Modernization adds Momentum ecosystem tools and rolls out new terminals and self-service machines to 1,000+ retailers statewide.

Scientific Games has completed a technology systems conversion for the New Mexico Lottery, modernizing lottery operations with a new gaming system and rolling out retail technology to more than 1,000 locations across the state. The update went live May 11, 2026, according to the company.

Scientific Games said the new system now powers the Lottery’s draw-based and Scratchers’ sales and is designed to simplify product management for retailers.

“The New Mexico Lottery is officially live with new, modern technology systems that work together to enhance all aspects of our operations and ensure we are well-positioned for our next era of growth,” said David Barden, CEO of the New Mexico Lottery. “We’ve strategically planned every step of this holistic modernization effort with Scientific Games to intelligently operate our retail network, making our Scratchers games easier for retailers to manage in their stores and easily accessible to our valued players.”

Scientific Games said the conversion was developed over the past year and is built on its Momentum ecosystem. Components cited include an advanced central gaming system, the SciTrak instant game distribution system, the gem | intelligence retailer licensing and management portal and the INFUSE business intelligence platform. The company said WAVE clerk-operated terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines will be deployed to retailers in planned phases.

“Congratulations to the New Mexico Lottery for building upon our long-standing instant scratch game partnership, embracing innovation for the future,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “We are proud to serve as the Lottery’s full-line partner and help drive maximum proceeds for New Mexico college students.”
