Do you have what it takes to help the Sheriff in his quest to round up five of the most dangerous outlaws ever to have lived? If you do, you’ll want to head straight to Outlaws Hunter, the latest slot launch from Stakelogic.

Players arrive in a lawless Wild West town where they will find a 5×3 reel matrix and 50 active win lines. But players must hold on to their hats as things get really wild from here as Outlaws Hunter features an Expanding Wild with Multiplier.

When a Wild lands and can contribute to a win, it Expands to reveal one of the five Outlaws with each having its own range of Multiplier values.

The Tomahawk Storm feature is triggered when the Wild Angry Bear symbol lands on the third reel. This sees Tomahawk Axes fly at the reels, hitting lower paying symbols and transforming them into Angry Bear Wilds.

The Angry Bear Wild has a Multiplier value of x1 but if two or more contribute to the same winning line, the Multiplier value increases in line with the number of Angry Bears that make up the win.

They say fortune favours the brave, and that is certainly the case in Outlaws Hunter. The Fortune Wheel is triggered when three or more Scatter symbols land during the base game and is then spun to determine the number of Free Spins the player will receive.

During Free Games, any Wild symbols that land will be Sticky and will display a Multiplier value that is then added to the total Win Multiplier value. Each time one or more wins occur during Free Spins it will be Multiplied by this value.

If that wasn’t enough gun slinging action, Outlaws Hunter also comes hooked up to Stakelogic’s innovative Super Stake feature. This allows players to double their bet to increase the chance of a bonus triggering and insane with combinations landing.

Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic, said: “Outlaws Hunter is absolutely our wildest Wild West-themed slot launch to date. It is highly volatile and delivers explosive gameplay thanks to Expanding Wilds, Multipliers and those all-important Free Spins.

“This slot really is only for the brave. Hunting down the five Wild outlaws is easier said than done, but, of course, the rewards for doing so are potentially huge. We look forward to seeing Outlaws Hunter ride into operator game lobbies and for players to return some law and order for big wins.”

Blask data shows LATAM casino lobbies diverge beyond Pragmatic Play’s baseline

Brazil stands out for crash-game visibility, while Argentina fragments across 15 providers, according to Blask’s review of five markets.

Blask has published new data on casino lobby distribution across five Latin American markets—Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru—finding a shared baseline of Pragmatic Play dominance but sharply different secondary content patterns by country.

Across all five markets, Pragmatic Play “consistently dominates the top 30 most-distributed titles,” accounting for up to 16 positions in each country, Blask said. Beyond that layer, Blask argues there is “no single playbook” for how operators and aggregators build lobbies.

Brazil is the clearest outlier for mechanics, with crash-style titles such as Aviator and JetX appearing in the top 30, while similar formats are “largely absent” in the other markets analyzed. Blask also points to Brazil as the only country where Pocket Games Soft holds a meaningful distribution share, driven by its Fortune series.

Mexico shows the opposite pattern: the highest concentration of Pragmatic Play titles and a thinner secondary layer. Blask flagged Endorphina as an example of a provider appearing in Mexico’s top 30 but not elsewhere in its dataset.

Argentina is described as the most fragmented market, with 15 different providers represented in the top 30—more than any other country in the analysis—and broader visibility for live and table content. Chile “closely mirrors Mexico” structurally, Blask said, but includes a single non-Pragmatic title with near-ubiquitous placement across operator lobbies. Peru, meanwhile, spreads remaining top-30 positions across 12 providers, including studios not seen in the other markets and “legacy European brands such as Novomatic.”

Blask’s conclusion is that operators should not assume a winning lobby mix in one country will translate regionally. “Beyond the dominant layer, performance is defined not by regional trends, but by local player behavior and demand signals,” the company said.

Same providers, different games: Blask uncovers hidden patterns in LATAM casino lobbies

Casino lobbies across Latin America may look similar at first glance — but a deeper look reveals they operate on entirely different logic. According to new data from Blask, all five major region players (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru) share one common layer: Pragmatic Play consistently dominates the top 30 most-distributed titles, accounting for up to 16 positions in each market. But everything beyond that baseline tells a different story.

Crash games cluster in Brazil but not elsewhere

Brazil is the only market where crash-style mechanics achieve consistent visibility at the lobby level. Titles like Aviator and JetX both rank among the top 30, while similar formats are largely absent in the other four markets. At the same time, Brazil is the only country where a second provider, Pocket Games Soft, secures a meaningful share of distribution, driven entirely by its Fortune series. This dual pattern suggests a highly specific local demand profile rather than a regional trend.

Mexico runs on a tighter playbook

While Brazil expands, Mexico narrows. The market shows the highest concentration of Pragmatic Play titles and one of the most limited secondary layers. At the same time, it introduces isolated signals that don’t scale regionally such as the presence of Endorphina, which appears in the Mexican top 30 but nowhere else in the dataset.

Argentina breaks the pattern entirely

Argentina stands apart as the most fragmented market in the region. Its top 30 includes 15 different providers which is more than any other country analyzed. Unlike neighboring markets, where a handful of suppliers dominate, Argentina distributes visibility across a wide range of studios, particularly in live and table segments. The result is a lobby structure that resists standardization.

Chile shows how a single game can outperform the system

Chile closely mirrors Mexico in overall structure but with one key exception. A single non-Pragmatic title achieves near-ubiquitous placement across operator lobbies, becoming one of the strongest outliers in the entire dataset.This suggests that even in highly concentrated markets, individual titles can break through if they match local demand precisely.

Peru stretches the long tail further than anyone else

Peru takes the opposite approach to Mexico. While maintaining the same Pragmatic baseline, it distributes the remaining positions across 12 different providers, many of which do not appear in any other LATAM market analyzed. This includes both niche studios and legacy European brands such as Novomatic, pointing to a mix of underserved demand segments and alternative content sourcing strategies.

One region, no single playbook

The key takeaway from the analysis is simple: LATAM is not a unified market when it comes to content distribution. The same providers appear everywhere but the way their games are positioned, combined, and supplemented varies dramatically from country to country. For operators, this means that copying a successful lobby structure from one market to another is unlikely to work. Beyond the dominant layer, performance is defined not by regional trends, but by local player behavior and demand signals.
