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.”

Pascal Gaming signs Ronaldinho for football-themed crash and slot titles
First release is Avinho R10, followed by June launch Fortune Ronaldinho as the studio lines up more titles ahead of the World Cup season.
Pascal Gaming has partnered with Brazilian football player Ronaldinho to launch a dedicated portfolio of games inspired by the athlete, the company said on 26 May, 2026.
The planned pipeline includes crash games, slots and additional titles set to roll out through the year. Pascal Gaming said the initiative is aimed at both Brazil and international markets, and will be supported by tournaments, promotional activity and special events tied to the Ronaldinho-branded portfolio.
The first game confirmed is Avinho R10, described as a crash-style title featuring Ronaldinho “above Brazil” in an aviation-themed experience. A second game, Fortune Ronaldinho, is scheduled for release in June and is positioned as a slot-inspired title.
“Ronaldinho is one of the most recognisable and loved football personalities in the world, so for us this collaboration is much more than a game launch. It is a global entertainment project that combines football culture, emotionally engaging gameplay and strong promotional activities ahead of the World Cup,” said Armen Mnaskanian, Head of Sales at SoftConstruct Gaming Content.
Pascal Gaming said it has been expanding its crash game portfolio during 2026 and investing in localised, character-driven content across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The company added that more Ronaldinho-themed titles and marketing campaigns will be revealed in the coming months.

Duelbits signs Justin Gaethje for branded content ahead of UFC Freedom 250
The JUSTIN2026 campaign was shot in Denver and rolls out over four weeks ahead of the 14 June event at the White House.
Duelbits has launched a branded content campaign with UFC interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje, timed to UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Saturday 14th June.
The campaign, branded JUSTIN2026, was shot on location in Denver, Colorado by UK-based creative agency YRDS. Duelbits said the content is designed as a “premium, cinematic series” and will roll out in phases over the next four weeks, peaking on event day.
According to the company, the campaign was planned before UFC Freedom was officially confirmed. Duelbits framed the early commitment as part of a strategy to move faster than traditional sportsbooks around major cultural moments.
“We didn’t want to create another sportsbook promo,” said Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits. “We wanted to create something that combat sports fans want to watch, content built around Justin’s authenticity and intensity, not just his fight record. We were planning this before the White House event was even officially confirmed. When you believe in the magnitude of a moment, you don’t wait for permission to act on it.”
“Duelbits came to me with a vision, not just a brief,” said Gaethje. “They wanted to create something that reflected the reality of what I do and who I am, with no smoke and mirrors. When a brand shows up with that kind of conviction and creative ambition, you back it. This campaign is going to be something people remember.”

PokerStars Open Namur returns May 27 with €1m guaranteed Main Event
Belgium stop at Circus Casino Resort Namur runs May 27–June 7 and adds PokerStars Live League points toward a €157,500 credit pool.
PokerStars will bring PokerStars Open Namur back to Circus Casino Resort Namur from May 27 to June 7, with the festival returning one day after the operator’s May 26 announcement.
The stop follows a 2025 edition PokerStars said was record-breaking for Belgium, including 1,571 entries in the Main Event and what it called the largest live tournament prize pool in Belgian poker history.
This year’s schedule is headlined by the €1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event, which carries a €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Other listed highlights include the €400 PokerStars Open Cup (May 27-31), €3,300 Super High Roller (June 1-2), €2,200 High Roller (June 5-6), and €800 Mystery Bounty (June 6-7).
“Last year’s turnout reinforced Namur’s place as one of the most exciting live poker stops in Europe,” said Cedric Billot, Associate Director of Live Events Operations at PokerStars. “What makes the event special isn’t just the size of the fields, it’s the atmosphere around the entire festival.”
PokerStars also positioned Namur as a scoring stop in the PokerStars Live League, which awards points across High, Medium and Low leaderboard tiers. PokerStars said players are competing for a share of €157,500 in PokerStars LIVE event credit, with the top 30 players in each tier qualifying for a €100,000 freeroll at the first European Poker Tour festival of 2027.
