Things are getting spicy in Stakelogic’s latest slot release Hot Chilliways
Hot Chilliways has been developed in partnership with Hurricane Games and promises red-hot wins for those that can handle the heat
Can you handle the heat? That is the question being asked of players in Hot Chilliways, the latest slot to be developed in partnership with Hurricane Games via Stakelogic’s innovative Greenlogic® Programme.
This is a video slot that turns up the heat and with players encouraged to experiment with some seriously spicy win combinations. For those that do, an off-the-Scoville-chart max win potential of 30,000x the player’s original bet is up for grabs.
The Wild Red Chilli symbol can land at any time during the base game and increase the number of symbols on that reel from three to seven. The three existing symbols on the reel drop to the bottom position with four new symbols added above.
Once the reels have adjusted, the Red Chilli symbol then acts as the Wild. It also adds an x2 to the total Multiplier, which is applied to winnings at the end of that game round.
Players will also want to keep their eyes peeled for the Wild Green Chilli. When it lands, the number of symbols on that reel increases from three to six. The three existing symbols on the reel split and double up, including the Green Chilli. Once the reels have adjusted, the Green Chilli acts as the Wild.
If you think that is spicy, think again. Hot Chilliways features a Free Spins bonus that is triggered when three or more Scatter symbols land, awarding the following number of Free Games 3 = 12, 4 = 16, 5 = 30 and 6+ = 24.
Before entering Free Spins, players are given the chance to take on the Gamble Wheel to potentially increase the number of Free Games. If the dial lands on Green, more Free Games are awarded but if it lands on Red the number is reduced.
While Free Spins are active, the Wild Red Chilli symbols add to a Multiplier that ranges from x2 to x100. Free Games can also be retriggered if additional Scatters land.
Hot Chilliways adds more spice with Super Stake, an innovative feature that allows players to effectively double their bet to increase the chance of a bonus feature triggering and insane win combinations landing. In this case, more Scatters land to increase the chance of unlocking Free Spins.
Players that can’t handle the heat have the option to buy the Free Spins bonus at a cost of x100 their stake.
Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic, said: “Phwoar. Hot Chilliways packs some serious heat but for those that can handle it, some really spicy wins await. This is a slot that cooks up tremendous big win potential through the game’s bonus features, and will absolutely leave a slight burning sensation.
“It is also another great example of what can be achieved when two studios collaborate through our Greenlogic® Programme, so congratulations to the Hurricane Games team for coming up with the recipe for this one. It really is a spicy slot indeed.”

HLTV Awards returns to Belgrade on January 9, 2027, adding Lifetime Achievement honor
HLTV will stage the HLTV Awards presented by 1xBet in Belgrade, Serbia on January 9, 2027, returning to the Sava Center. The company said more than 1,000 players, industry professionals, creators, and fans are expected to attend.
HLTV also confirmed Dust2 creator David Johnston will feature as an award announcer. HLTV linked the booking to the 25th anniversary of Dust2.
For 2026, HLTV is updating its Hall of Fame process and eligibility rules. Four players will be inducted again, with “at least two and up to three” slots reserved for players from the Counter-Strike 1.6 and early eras. HLTV also removed the former “neo rule,” allowing players to be inducted for their playing careers even if they remain active in other roles such as coaching.
HLTV is adding a Lifetime Achievement Award, which will be decided by the Hall of Fame Board. The ceremony will also move Community Awards onto the main stage show for the first time, rather than the pre-show segment.
Separately, HLTV will kick off the 2027 Awards season with an invite-only “HLTV Awards by 1xBet Launch Party x GRID” in Cologne during the Major. HLTV said industry members can apply for an invite to the ceremony via its awards page.

ThrillTech lands Gibraltar B2B supplier licence
Approval from HM Government of Gibraltar’s Gambling Division lets the supplier serve Gibraltar-licensed iGaming operators.
ThrillTech has been granted a Gambling Services (B2B) Licence by the Gambling Division of HM Government of Gibraltar, allowing the supplier to provide its opt-in jackpot and mystery reward products to regulated iGaming operators licensed in Gibraltar.
The company said the licence supports its international expansion plans and will enable it to deploy its ThrillPots
product with additional operators in the jurisdiction, which hosts a number of tier-one betting and gaming brands.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing a B2B licence in Gibraltar is an important step for ThrillTech and a testament to our market-leading jackpots technology. Gibraltar is home to some of the industry’s most prestigious operators. This approval not only accelerates our global expansion strategy but now allows us to provide these major operators with new layers of player engagement which generate incremental revenue.”
ThrillTech said it seeks market-specific licences and certifications because its side-bet jackpots operate independently of operators’ core casino games and betting products. The company added that its jackpots are powered by a proprietary, certified RNG and do not alter core game RTP, with funding coming from opt-in player contributions.
According to ThrillTech, its regulated market licences and certifications also include the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Peru, and Brazil.

S8UL’s League of Legends roster qualifies to represent India at Asian Games 2026
S8UL Esports’ League of Legends roster has qualified to represent India at the Asian Games 2026 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, running from September 19 to October 4. The organisation said the team secured qualification through the regional qualifiers after winning the National Esports Championships (NESC) 2026, described as the official national qualification tournament for the Asian Games.
S8UL said the roster competing under India’s banner is Akshaj Shenoy (Kat Bot), Aakash Shandilya (Infi), Sanindhya Malik (Deadcorporal), Mihir Ranjan (Lotus), Ahmed Shahid (Nero), and Rahul Bisht (Bob). The regional qualifiers featured 14 teams across a group stage and a split stage, with top performers advancing to the Asian Games main event.
In Group B, the team went unbeaten against Jordan, Sri Lanka, and Kazakhstan to progress, according to S8UL. In the split stage, it lost to Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Saudi Arabia but did enough to secure a berth. India will now face opponents including Japan, Chinese Taipei, and Vietnam at the main event.
Four players—Kat Bot, Infi, Deadcorporal, and Lotus—were also part of India’s League of Legends contingent at the Hangzhou Asian Games 2023, where S8UL said the team finished fifth.
Akshaj Shenoy aka Kat Bot, captain of India’s League of Legends team, said, “Qualifying for the Asian Games is a proud moment for all of us. We knew the regional qualifiers would be extremely competitive, and every match demanded complete focus. For many of us, this will be our second Asian Games, which makes this qualification even more special because we understand the level of competition that awaits us. We are grateful to S8UL for believing in this roster and providing us with the support, stability, and opportunities needed to keep improving as a team. Representing India is always an honour, and we’ll do everything we can to make the country proud in Aichi-Nagoya.”
S8UL co-founder and CEO Animesh Agarwal aka 8Bit Thug added, “Representing India at the Asian Games is among the highest honours an athlete can achieve, and seeing our League of Legends roster earn that opportunity is incredibly special. This team has demonstrated resilience, discipline, and a willingness to continually improve, qualities that are essential for success at the international level. At S8UL, our goal has always been to create pathways for Indian athletes to compete on the biggest stages in the world. We have no doubt they will give their all when they step onto the stage in Aichi-Nagoya and compete for the nation with pride,” S8UL also noted that Gurashish Singh (Soul) and Prateek Bhaunt (B Haunt) previously qualified for the Asian Games in Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6 after winning at NESC 2026.
