LIGHTNING BOX™ TRAVELS INTO THE EYE OF THE STORM IN STELLAR CASH BLOWN AWAY™

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.”

SOFTSWISS Kids Camp: Award-Winning Initiative Putting Families First

SOFTSWISS, an international iGaming software provider, hosted the second season of its award-winning Summer Kids Camp in August on the shores of Lake Jeziorsko, Poland. The initiative brought together over 100 children of SOFTSWISS employees from more than 11 countries, reaffirming the company’s commitment to a people-first culture that extends well beyond the workplace.
The 11-day camp combined sports, creativity, and early career exploration, with over 50 engaging activities amounting to nearly 350 hours of programming. Children took part in everything from tournaments and creative workshops to speaking clubs and hands-on masterclasses.
A standout feature of this year’s programme was the camp coin system – a playful, gamified experience that introduced children to basic economic thinking. Kids earned coins for being proactive or engaged in educational tasks, and then spent them on fun privileges like ice cream, song requests at the disco, or even “becoming a PE teacher” for an hour, which many cleverly used to cancel morning workouts.
“The coin system helped teach initiative, responsibility, and teamwork in a fun way – almost like running a small business,” said Hanna Sauchuk, Event Producer at SOFTSWISS. One of the most touching moments was when the kids pooled their savings to ‘buy’ a collective sunrise celebration on the final day. That kind of collaboration and emotional intelligence is exactly what we hoped to nurture.”
Last year’s event has earned external recognition, winning the Eventex Award 2025 in the Corporate Event category – placing SOFTSWISS’ initiative alongside brand-led experiences from Disney, Nike, and Netflix.
“For me, this is not just another corporate project – it is one of the most meaningful things we do at SOFTSWISS. It brings our core value ‘We see people’ to life in the most tangible way. We don’t just see professionals at their desks; we see human beings with families, dreams, and passions. The Kids Camp is our way of saying: your family matters to us as much as your work does. It’s an investment in joy, in connection, and in kindness. Because when children are happy, their parents shine – and together, we create a stronger, more united community. This is rare in business, and that’s exactly why we are proud to make it happen at the highest quality,” said Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS.
