Relax Gaming, the igaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, has put a juicy spin on its latest summery slot with Blender Blitz.

Ideal for fans of high volatility gameplay, this title boasts an impressive RTP of 96.16% and a lucrative maximum win potential of 25,000x.

Players that form winning combinations in this 5×3 reel are rewarded with the removal of all low and mid-tier symbols, leaving players with only high-paying symbols. If this wasn’t quite enough, they are also awarded a super spin – a guaranteed winning spin with featuring an impressive multiplier of up to 500x.

Players achieve any of the game’s 243 ways of winning by matching symbols in any position across three or more adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

The Eliminator symbol is present on reel five in the main game and has two benefits. Firstly, it removes one of the low or mid-tier symbols from the reels entirely for the remainder of the round. Secondly, it destroys all symbols, contributing towards their removal from the reels and the free spin trigger.

Free Spins continue until a super spin is awarded or all lives have been lost. A life is lost when a non-winning spin occurs and an extra life symbol is present on reel five during Free Spins, awarding one to three extra lives, indicated by the number on the symbol.

Simon Hammon, Chief Product Officer at Relax Gaming, said: “With the summer months finally upon us it was deeply satisfying to develop a game as refreshing and dynamic as Blender Blitz.

“As well as its juicy content, we are sure that players will get great excitement out of the game’s Eliminator round, all those high paying symbols and its intuitive gameplay.”

Established as one of the industry’s leading B2B suppliers, Relax Gaming was recently named the Best Mobile Gaming Software Provider at the prestigious EGR B2B Awards, and has consistently enjoyed a host of other industry awards and nominations this year.

In total, Relax provides more than 3,000 online casino games, from its high performing proprietary slots to a significant, varied library of content from hand-picked third-party studios via its partnership programmes.

SWA Ltd, a London-based frontrunner in live data and AI technology for real-time betting prediction systems, today revealed a new collaboration with Sportradar to introduce the industry’s first-ever in-play MMA betting model.

The innovative product is now accessible to Sportradar customers.

Utilizing the official data streams from the UFC and PFL, the updated model will offer extensive in-play markets for significant MMA events, with more promotions planned for integration in the following weeks.

The platform is created to provide hundreds of live betting markets, establishing the basis for an expanded combat sports package to be offered via Sportradar.

“Our science team has developed data driven bottom-up generative ai modelling that outputs tens of thousands of potential outcomes every second, pricing each one in real time.

This enables unlimited micro-parlay and social betting opportunities on the same platforms,” said Caspar Hobbs, CEO of SWA. “MMA has been one of the fastest-growing sports globally for many years, but its speed and complexity have made it difficult to model for betting. We are delighted to partner with Sportradar on this breakthrough MMA product and look forward to delivering wider combat offerings in the coming weeks, as well as expanding into additional sports.”

Step into Royal Drop — Queen Lizzie’s Quest from Mirror Image Gaming

Are you prepared drop? That’s the dilemma players encounter when they launch Royal Drop, the newest Burst Game from Mirror Image Gaming, driven by FortuneEngine.io.

Royal Drop is a character-focused, high-octane “Burst Game” that aims to dominate online casino lobbies with its captivating and enjoyable gameplay.

Players team up with Queen Lizzie, who is bold, fierce, and fabulously untroubled, as she trades scones and biscuits for a twin-winged plane that drops her into one of the wildest online casino escapades.

Players trail behind Queen Lizzie as she zooms across the sky, flipping and twisting while gathering flags and collecting coins, all while providing witty remarks that expose her etiquette as far more vibrant than anyone could have anticipated.

The flags and coins serve as Prizes and Multipliers, accumulating as Queen Lizzie descends towards landing areas.

There are a total of five, which include:

Royal Palace – 5,000x Jackpot

Underground – 100x Payout Multiplier

Big Ben – 50x Payout Multiplier Royal Guard – Squares the Payout Multiplier

Royal Carriage – 5x Payout Multiplier

Following her is her nervous son and successor to the throne. He worries about their image, particularly Queen Lizzie’s dubious driving skills showcased in the Bus Multiplier feature.

This is activated by the Bus Scatter, which amplifies the ascent to as much as 11x.

Queen Lizzie is courageous and fearless, and she definitely shouldn’t perform her own stunts – yet she does them regardless. That’s the reason you can gain an additional 0.2x whenever Queen Lizzie performs a Flip or a Back Flip.

However, be cautious of the Dangers and particularly the Thunderheads that separate the amassed victory.

Players of the Royal Drop will soon discover that within the Royal Family, there is only one individual with nerves of steel.

Royal Drop features three RTP options – 96%, 94%, and 92% – and is positioned at the mid to high level of the volatility spectrum. The smallest wager is established at 0.10 with an adjustable maximum stake. The highest possible win is 5,000 times.

Gray Wagner, CEO at Mirror Image Gaming, said: “Our Burst Games have taken online casino game lobbies by storm and in Royal Drop we have a title that celebrates the magic and majesty of the royal family while allowing players to unlock regal wins.

“Our Burst Games are incredibly fun and put players on the edge of their seats as they ride out the drop and collect as many prizes as they can on the way down. Of course, where they land determines the ultimate size of the payout.

“The heir to the throne might be shouting “Slow down mommy” but players will be encouraging Queen Lizzie to go faster and scoop up more of those coins and flags as she dials in on the landing zone.”
