Specialist slot provider Lightning Box, one of Light & Wonder’s in-house studios, has released STELLAR CASH BLOWN AWAY a slot which blends mechanics of an existing hit game, BLOWN AWAY and STELLAR CASH, which is a revamped version of the classic Stellar Jackpot franchise.

This 5×3 reel slot has symbols depicting swans, dinosaurs and monkeys that must form matching combinations across the title’s 25 paylines to award a win. Players are aided in creating these wins by STELLAR CASH BLOWN AWAY’s wild symbol which substitutes all other symbols in game except the scatters.

Additionally, reel five is home to the tornado symbol, once landed this removes the lowest paying symbol in game and awards a respin where the symbol can be landed again. This mechanic is further built upon in the free spins round which is awarded for landing at least three boat scatter symbols.

This awards 10 free spins where each tornado symbol removes the lowest paying symbol and has a chance of awarding an increasing multiplier up to 7x. Similar, to the base game, landing the tornado on spin 10 will award additional respins until no tornado symbols are landed.

The title is also home to the Stellar Cash bonus, unlocked for landing three spaceship symbols attached to any normal symbol in game. The player is transported to space to battle against enemy ships, with them choosing which spaceship to target, picking correctly awards a bounty prize and progresses the player to the next level with increased winning potential. However, choosing incorrectly will see the player lose one of three lives where the loss of all of these ends the bonus round. In the last level, spaceships will reveal Mini, Minor, Major or Grand jackpot prizes.

STELLAR CASH BLOWN AWAY will first launch in New Jersey exclusively via BetMGM and will be available to customers of Light & Wonder’s industry leading OPENGAMING™ platform alongside popular new titles such as CRYSTAL VAULT™ and BLOOD AND GOLD™.

Michael Maokhamphiou, Operations Manager at Lightning Box said: “Combining a hit game with a revamped bonus to create a new slot which benefits from the fan favourite mechanics found in both has produced a title like no other.”

“Players will be removing symbols and increasing multipliers that aid in awarded big wins and can then go on an epic space adventure battling enemy ships. This multi-faceted title has two distinct bonus rounds within it that provide endless entertainment, engagement and of course big win potential.”

Rob Procter, VP Game Development at Light & Wonder said: “Augmenting two mechanics to create a standalone hit that draws upon the innovative features found within each, has produced a slot that has appeal to new customers whilst providing a twist to existing fans of each franchise.”

“Additionally, the removal of low paying symbols in the Free Spins Round creates a crescendo of excitement during play, whereas the Stellar Cash bonus positions player interaction and choice at its core. There really is something for every type of player to enjoy within STELLAR CASH BLOWN AWAY.”

Betano says it will fund weekly training for 192 athletes with Down syndrome and support the FUT21 National Tournament pathway ahead of October.

Betano has partnered with Fundación Empate to launch an adapted football-friendly tournament in Argentina, as part of the operator’s “Desafiá tus límites” (Challenge Your Limits) corporate responsibility programme.

The company said the partnership will support 192 athletes with Down syndrome by funding weekly practices, while also providing operational resources to strengthen training in the run-up to the FUT21 National Tournament in October. Fundación Empate describes FUT21 as Argentina’s main futsal competition for athletes with Down syndrome, bringing together delegations from across the country.

Germán Laborda, President of Fundación Empate, said: “For us, this support means much more than financial aid. It is a concrete opportunity for our players to keep growing, training, and showcasing all their talent. Having companies like Betano get involved in real inclusion helps bring visibility to the enormous effort and commitment of each member of our foundation.”

Alvaro Ferreres, Betano Country Manager for Argentina, added: “At Betano, we understand that social responsibility means getting truly involved and supporting the people behind every story. Supporting the players of Fundación Empate means proving that a company can be an ally that drives opportunities, inclusion, and development through sports.”

Beyond athlete funding, Betano said it will develop Teacher Training Workshops for Inclusive Sports aimed at more than 800 sports professionals, including coaches, physical education teachers and physiotherapists, as well as teams for athletes with Down Syndrome. The company positioned the initiative as part of its broader adapted sports activity under “Desafiá tus límites”, which it said also includes support for Argentina’s national blind football team, Los Murciélagos (The Bats).

PropellerAds says Social Traffic lifts game registrations 34.5% in Nigeria test

In a seven-day Onclick campaign, Social Traffic delivered 23.3% of registrations from 17.3% of impressions, the company reports.

PropellerAds has published new user acquisition results from a seven-day game registration campaign in Nigeria, reporting that its “Social Traffic” segment outperformed overall traffic on registrations and revenue efficiency.

According to the company, Social Traffic represented 17.3% of total impressions (20,076 of 115,671) but delivered 23.3% of registrations (199 of 853) and 24.5% of revenue ($96.06 of $392.46). Registrations per 1,000 impressions rose to 9.91 for Social Traffic versus 7.37 campaign-wide, a 34.5% increase. Revenue per 1,000 impressions (RPM) increased to $4.78 versus $3.39, up 41%.

Social Traffic is a targeting subtype within PropellerAds’ Onclick/Popunder format. When enabled on the company’s Self-Service Platform (SSP), ads are served only in placements where a user arrived from a social network such as Facebook or Instagram immediately before landing on the publisher’s page.

PropellerAds attributed the performance gap to browsing context and user intent, arguing that users coming from social platforms are more likely to complete multi-step actions such as registration. Petros Sofroniou, Account Strategist at PropellerAds, said: “In highly competitive user acquisition environments, traffic quality is increasingly critical. In practice, Social Traffic helps advertisers reach users who are more engaged and willing to take action, thereby improving registration performance in campaigns.”

The company positioned the results against what it described as a rapidly expanding Nigerian games market, citing estimates of a $3.5 billion market with roughly 60 million active users and 61% year-over-year growth. PropellerAds said it recommends testing Social Traffic as a dedicated segment and, where results hold, splitting it into a separate campaign for clearer optimization signals; it also suggested using roughly 20× target CPA as a test budget and running tests for 36–48 hours, while noting performance can vary by market and product.
