Evoplay welcomes players back to the realm of the mysterious Overlords in search of unimaginable riches in latest release, Wild Overlords Bonus Buy. The freshly renewed title sees players return to the kingdom of the merciless tiger, fearless wolf, resilient horse and almighty buffalo – with their moods determining the values of symbols and thus the game’s outcome.

Karen Maneater is the much needed sequel to xWays Hoarder xSplit and it all goes down in this one. Karen Maneater has a 233333 reel set layout. Karen and her raccoons are on the hunt thanks to the Scatter feature – so beware of the xWays and Infectious xWays that will spread. The xBet feature makes things more viscous, increasing the base bet by +30%.

iSoftBet, invites players to fill the reels with vibrant fruits and old-school 7’s in the hunt for lucrative Wild Multipliers in new slot release, Golden Jokers Double Up.

Play’n GO asks if fortune is in your favour with its latest release, Idol of Fortune. Inspired by classic South Asian landscapes and themes, this game broadens Play’n GO’s unmatched portfolio further still as new themes are constantly being explored. The diversity of their titles means there is something for every player.

BGaming is renewing its collaboration with a famous comedian in a new summer slot the Big Atlantis Frenzy. The slot features will make the sequel even more fascinating. In addition to traditional Bonus, Wilds and Free Spins, the Big Atlantis Frenzy will have an independent reel size change option. This exclusive feature naturally allows players to set the rules themselves: 5×3, 5×4 or 5×5; the players will be able to choose a reel size and number of paylines correspondingly.

Blueprint Gaming’s industry leading progressive jackpot system has hooked a major gaming title with the addition of Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch to Jackpot King. Launched in 2021, the Big Catch version of the famous fishing-themed slot saw the creation of an alternative Free Spins round that successfully evolved the legendary Fishin’ Frenzy franchise to new heights.

Pragmatic Play, welcomes players to a mischief-ridden kingdom in new title, Goblin Heist PowerNudge™. Goblin Heist PowerNudge™ takes place in a fantasy realm packed with treasure-hungry creatures in search of wins worth up to 4,000x the bet. The PowerNudge™ tool comes into play with every winning combination, causing reels that participate in the successful spin to ‘nudge’ a position down, creating opportunities for even further payouts.

Wazdan, the leading casino games supplier, is back to deliver another extraordinary magical adventure in their new release, Magic Spins™. Enchanting players with stunning design and innovative mathematics that Wazdan’s titles are renowned for, the new release boosts player engagement with Sticky Special Bonus symbols that increase players’ chances of triggering the bonus round.

Light & Wonder has officially launched Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures, the digital debut of its highly successful land-based franchise. Developed by in-house specialist studio Lightning Box, this 3×5 slot offers 243 ways to win and a high-energy “three-pot” mechanic that has already become a staple on casino floors worldwide.

The game transitions the whimsical “dumpling-tossing” theme to online audiences, combining vibrant Asian-inspired aesthetics with a deep mathematical model designed for high-engagement sessions.

The Three-Pot Mechanic & Seven Feature Combinations

At the core of the gameplay is the persistent pot system. Landing specific colored coins fuels three separate pots—Yummy, Spicy, and Upsized. These pots can trigger individually or in any combination, leading to seven distinct bonus paths.

Feature Mode	Gameplay Enhancement
Yummy Mode	Increases the Hold & Spin respin counter from 3 to 4, significantly extending bonus life.
Spicy Mode	Introduces Chilli multipliers; landing a pepper adds its cash value to every symbol currently held on the board.
Upsized Mode	Unlocks a Dual Grid (two reel sets) for the Hold & Spin round, doubling the win potential.
Combined Modes	Triggering all three at once creates the “Mega Bonus,” featuring dual grids, 4 respins, and value-boosting peppers.

Innovation: The Stack N’ Hit Feature

Unlike traditional Hold & Spin mechanics where symbols simply lock until the round ends, Tasty Treasures introduces the Stack N’ Hit evolution.

Reel Clearing: When a vertical reel is filled with Bun symbols, the prizes are instantly collected, and the reel is cleared.
Persistent Respins: Clearing a reel creates open spaces for new prizes to land, allowing the bonus round to continue far longer than standard industry alternatives.
The Path to Grand: Each cleared reel activates a “Pepper Tracker” above it. Lighting up all five trackers awards the Grand Progressive Jackpot.

Jackpot Tiers & Base Game Depth

Operators benefit from a versatile math model that supports both consistent base-game performance and high-volatility jackpot chases.

Progressive Jackpots: Grand and Major tiers for life-changing win potential.
Fixed Jackpots: Minor and Mini tiers awarded through symbols landing during features.
Nudge Wilds: In the base game, Wild symbols can nudge to cover entire reels, assisting in achieving the 243-way payouts.

“Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures carries forward a brand that has already made its mark in land-based venues,” says Michael Maokhamphiou, Studio Director at Lightning Box. “This release offers operators a flexible, high-performing title that combines familiarity with fresh layers of engagement.”

How Venezuela’s iGaming market is reacting to US pressure

Blask data indicates Venezuela’s iGaming demand remained stable in the initial days following the US operation in Caracas.

On 3 January, US forces detained Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, transporting him from Caracas to face prosecution in New York. The raid came after months of intensifying American pressure throughout 2025 — naval presence, targeted strikes, and a fresh sanctions package.

For Venezuela’s iGaming sector, the disruption poses a critical question: will demand collapse, or adapt?

First results

Blask’s daily Index remained within a tight corridor from 1–4 January, hovering in the high-200K zone. It dropped 5% to 257.4K on the day of the operation, before recovering the next day.

The data reveals no abrupt demand shift during this period. A slight decline sits within Venezuela’s normal daily fluctuations and does not point to a fundamental market change.

Rapid expansion, growing dominance

Venezuela stood out as one of iGaming’s strongest demand gainers in 2025. Blask Index surged 134.9% year-on-year — the second-highest growth worldwide.

This expansion came alongside increasing market dominance. By December, Triunfo Bet commanded 59% of Blask’s BAP (Brand Accumulated Power, measuring a brand’s portion of total user interest nationally), gaining 15 percentage points since January. The top three brands collectively reached over 85%, up 11 points.
