Inspired Entertainment, Inc. has launched three new online and mobile slot games to kick start Autumn, while further enhancing its portfolio of iGaming content.

Offering players diverse themes, gameplay styles, and a variety of fun bonus mechanics, Respin 7s™, Gold Cherry™, and Anubis Gold™ bring the joy of online slots to multiple audiences, for a fun and casual iGaming experience.

Spinning its way to top of the iGaming charts is Respin 7s, a classic fruit-themed slot with a reel configuration of 5×3, five win-lines and a return to player (RTP) rate of 94.8%. With a strong math profile and proven gameplay, Respin 7s is a descendant of the successful VLT version, popular with players in the North American retail gaming market. Featuring Inspired’s Twin Pays™ mechanic, players experience exciting wins with pay-outs in both directions. The base game’s reels spin to reveal colourful fruit-machine style symbols, as well as the game’s ubiquitous 7s. Four 7s in view will trigger the empty reel to light up in flames and respin, giving the player a chance to land a total of five 7s and trigger the game’s fun Bonus round.

Increasing the gameplay thrills and the intensity of bagging a win, the game’s backdrop transforms from bright blue into vivid red with the 7s turning into fiery Wilds! Like the base game, landing four 7s gives players another respin of the empty reel, with five Wilds awarding them with an additional five free spins!

Bursting with the sweet taste of juicy wins, is Gold Cherry, a classic fruit-themed slot with a reel configuration of 5×3 and 10 win-lines. It features a novel modification wheel, that spins above the reels to convert symbols into Wilds and to multiply prizes, while heightening the anticipation and thrill of potentially winning big! When the wheel lands on a gold segment all dark cherry symbols in view will transform into the Wild, shown in-game as the golden cherry. The bonus round offers 10 free spins, featuring additional Wild segments on the wheel and extra cherries on the reels. The Bonus round offers players an 80/20 chance of transforming all cherries that land into Wilds, improving the player’s chances of scoring wins! If the player lands on a X2 segment of the wheel, their prizes are multiplied, giving them a juicy win.

Boasting mystical charm and the allure of ancient Egypt, is Anubis Gold, a 5×3 reel slot game with 10 win-lines and expanding wilds. Anubis Gold is set inside an Egyptian golden temple, surrounded by the dramatic power of Anubis. Landing three or more of the game’s Bonus symbols, starts the Free Spins Bonus feature, where Anubis comes to life! The Super Wild upgrades all symbols shown in gold, up to the next level, awarding players with increased values on the top-paying symbols, displayed on the strips located either-side of the main reels. Wild symbols expand in the Free Spins Bonus and awards players with one, three or five extra free spins, adding an extra layer of gameplay excitement! The game’s Free Spins feature can be re-triggered by landing another three Bonus symbols.

Claire Osborne, Vice President of Interactive at Inspired, said: “We are thrilled to be celebrating the start of Autumn with three amazing slots. Packed with wins throughout, each game encompasses different Bonus mechanics, themes, and gameplay styles to suit an array of tastes and gaming preferences. All three games boast great graphics offering casual players a visually impactful, fun, and relaxed iGaming experience.

“With an autumn and winter 2022 roadmap that is packed with exciting seasonal and fun-themed content, we look forward to continuing our trajectory of entertaining players during the rest of the year and beyond.”
