Spinberry makes online debut on Pariplay’s Fusion™ platform with Drop the Wilds
NeoGames S.A (Nasdaq: NGMS) subsidiary Pariplay, the leading aggregator and content provider, has released Drop the Wilds, the first game produced by Ignite partner Spinberry, exclusively through its Fusion™ platform.
The debut online release from Spinberry, which boasts a proud history of land-based success in the UK and other markets, combines the world of bagatelle, pinball and slots to entertaining effect.
Packed with compelling features, the slot has a special Drop the Wilds feature whereby a Free Spins symbol that lands in view has a chance of activating the delivery mechanic. When the arrow lands in the green, the ball transitions around and down the table before landing on a specific number that represents a number of Wilds. Wilds randomly then transfer to the reels, wins are paid and then wilds lock in place for a free re-spin.
The game also has a Free Spins mode, with five awarded when three Free Spins symbols appear and the Drop the Wilds feature becomes active on each of those spins, meaning 10 spins of the reels in total. The game offers a Buy Feature tool that is available to players in certain markets.
A Bet Chance feature is also incorporated, which is activated when a player’s credit becomes less than the last spin stake amount.
Drop the Wilds is the first of six new games planned for release this year by Spinberry, who joined the Ignite programme earlier this year in order to create its content via Pariplay’s flexible turnkey development framework and distribute its games globally through the Fusion™ aggregation platform. The studio also has access to Pariplay’s suite of engagement tools that offer the opportunity to significantly enhance game performance.
Spinberry’s mission is to utilise its vast knowledge of the land-based sector to introduce a mix of proven concepts and innovation to online players, including immersive mechanics, constant base game engagement, and features such as Bet Chance and Feature Play Mode.
Ignite supports any coding language and allows for games to be built much quicker and with substantially lower costs, empowering game developers to reach global markets.
Callum Harris, Director of Partnerships at Pariplay, said: “Having welcomed Spinberry to the Ignite programme, we have seen first-hand how they operate and it’s no surprise to us that they have experienced such success in the land-based sector.
“To be able to exclusively launch their first-ever online slot – one of such high quality as Drop the Wilds – is a privilege. It’s a delight to be able to give studios like Spinberry a proven path to market and to support their continuing growth.”
Bill Zycinsky, Spinberry’s founder, said: “I am both thrilled and thankful to have our first online game launched and so well received. Pariplay has been a great partner and their support has been outstanding.
“With its bagatelle and classic pinball theme, Drop the Wilds has made a very strong impression with players. I have personally seen their excitement discovering all the action-packed features.
“My biggest thanks, however, go to all the people in our company. Without their hard word and dedication, Drop the Wilds would not have been the success it is.”

Psiclone Games and Playtech-built title features three Free Spins modifiers, including expanding reels, sliding wilds and jackpots up to 500x bet.
PokerStars Casino has released Skullapalooza as the fifth game in its 2026 The Slotlist series, making the title the featured slot on the operator’s Casino tab for the month.
Skullapalooza is developed by Psiclone Games and Playtech. The game’s core hook is a Free Spins system built around three “Skull” features that can be triggered individually or in combination: expanding reels, jackpot accumulators and stacked sliding wilds.
According to the company, players can land different coloured gems to randomly trigger one or more Free Spins variants. Pink gems may trigger Free Games with Expanding Reels, blue gems may add Sliding Wilds, and purple gems may activate pots with a grand prize of up to 500x total bet. The company said all three variants can be active at once.
“The Slotlist is designed to spotlight games that deliver a well-rounded player experience, combining innovative features, striking visuals, and immersive gameplay”, said Ed Fogarty, Associate Director of PokerStars Casino Commercial. “Skullapalooza embodies all these qualities, and we’re thrilled to feature it prominently in The Slotlist this month.”

Governor Hobbs signs SB 1671; new budget sets $4M spend authority plus $500K a year from event wagering funds.
The Arizona Department of Gaming has secured a six-year continuation after Governor Hobbs signed Senate Bill 1671, following the 2026 legislative session that adjourned June 12, 2026. The continuation also covers the Arizona State Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission and the Arizona Racing Commission.
The Department said SB 1671 affirms its authority to regulate tribal gaming, event wagering and fantasy sports, horse racing and simulcast wagering, and boxing and mixed martial arts.
In parallel, the Department said Senate Bill 1847 and the state’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget expand expenditure authority for its Division of Problem Gambling. The budget authorizes $4,000,000 in total spending for the Division, which the agency said is a 20% increase from FY26.
The Department also said the legislature granted an annual $500,000 expenditure authority to use Event Wagering funds to support problem gambling, and that the Division will have grant oversight authority for the first time.
“Arizona first established the Department of Gaming in 1995 – and more than thirty years later, we remain excited about world-class regulation benefiting the entire state,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “I’m grateful to Governor Hobbs and leaders in the state legislature, particularly continuation bill sponsor State Senator Shawnna Bolick, who thoroughly reviewed our agency with a deep commitment to public service, and I am pleased that the Department secured its continuation, which will allow us to strengthen our focus points in robust consumer protection and integrity.”
“The new state budget will strengthen longstanding investments in problem gambling assistance made possible through partnerships with Arizona’s Tribal Nations and the Arizona Lottery,” said Elise Mikkelsen. “We continue to see strong demand from individuals and families seeking information, resources, and treatment for gambling-related harm. This increased funding will help us expand the continuum of care and ensure more Arizonans have access to effective, inclusive, and timely support.”
