Here are this weeks latest slots releases compiled by European Gaming!

Yggdrasil and AvatarUX have teamed up to fight hordes of the undead in their latest launch Zombie aPOPalypse™. The reels are set in a world where zombies run amok, and players look to generate big wins in the 5×4, pays-both-ways title that boasts a max win of 20,000x. The MultiPop™ mechanic works by locking a multiplier to a cell for every win that occurs. When winning symbols are replaced, the multiplier stays on the reels, increasing for each consecutive win it is part of, to totals of up to 5x in base play.

The game provider known as ELA Games went live with the latest addition to its ever-expanding portfolio – a slot by the name of “Bullet Hole”. This medium-volatility game starts off guns blazing, taking players on a Western adventure like no other, across its wild reels.

Players are invited to don their pirate hats in Rum & Raiders, the latest Hold and Win release from Iron Dog Studio offering wins up to 25,000x! With an oversized 5 reel, 4 row base game board, Rum & Raiders comes with a veritable pirate’s booty worth of features. Hunt for the Skull & Bones Scatter symbols, three of which will trigger the feature-packed Hold and Win bonus game.

This gnarly high volatility slot can see petrol-heads win up to an impressive total of 25,000x their bet by way of a number of bonus features including Wheelspin Wilds, Free Spins and Super Free Spins. Should Wheelspin Wild symbols land on reels 2 – 5 and move out of the row towards the left they will automatically convert all high paying car symbols into wild symbols.

Lightning Box, 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.

Wizard Games is set for the festive season with the launch of its new hit Santa’s Fortune. The 5×3 slot features all the Christmas characters players expect, including reindeer, elves, snowmen, and tasty treats, while prized presents also await on the reels. The presents themselves contain a cash value inside, and if Santa’s sleigh lands on the fifth reel, it collects all values present on the reels for mammoth payouts. When this occurs, the Collect Pots Feature can be triggered randomly.

Grab a helmet, kick-start your engine and GO for the gold in Play’n GO’s action-sports thriller, USA Flip. Stare down a steep hill inside a sold-out stadium as Flip, a stunt-biking bald eagle gets ready to take flight and steal the spotlight. Help Flip turn the most difficult tricks and take home eternal glory, sharing the winner’s circle afterwards – and the prize money that comes with it.

Yggdrasil and Reflex Gaming have teamed up to deliver a new slot boasting the biggest, baddest dogs in town alongside even bigger symbols in Desperate Dawgs 2 GigaBlox™. This feature-filled 6-reel, 40 payline title utilises giant symbols up to 6×6 in size by way of Yggdrasil’s hugely popular Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM), GigaBlox. In addition to these huge symbols, Desperate Dawgs 2 GigaBlox can see players win up to 9,872 x their stake via three features.

Kalamba Games’ popular Joker series has received a new instalment with Joker Fortune Blitz, mixing a classic theme with new features that delivers a player engaging experience. Familiar slot symbols such as fruits, 7s and Bars adorn the 6×4 reel set and can all be substituted by wilds, represented by the Jovial Joker herself in a number of guises.

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.

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: Belatra has been a steady hand in the slots world for a long time, but 2025 marked a distinct shift in strategy. By entering the Crash vertical with Goose Boom Bang and winning big at SiGMA Africa, the studio is clearly pivoting to capture the high-growth, high-frequency players in emerging markets. They are no longer just a “classic slots” developer; they are diversifying the portfolio to ensure relevance in regions like LatAm and Africa.

The Full Story

Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has issued a strategic review of its 2025 operations, celebrating a 12-month period defined by entry into new game verticals, significant franchise expansion, and high-profile industry recognition.

The year was characterized by a dual strategy: deepening engagement in established markets while aggressively expanding its content portfolio to suit local preferences in emerging territories.

Portfolio Evolution: Crash and Battles 2025 saw Belatra move beyond its traditional slot roots. The company made its debut in the high-demand Crash game vertical with the launch of Goose Boom Bang, a title designed to tap into the fast-paced gameplay preference of younger demographics.

Additionally, the studio introduced a fresh game concept with the launch of Battles, a new format unveiled for the first time in 2025, with further development planned for 2026.

The ‘Mummyverse’ Expands For fans of classic slots, the highlight of the year was the aggressive expansion of the Mummyverse. Belatra nearly doubled the size of this franchise over the year, making it the most extensive game universe in their entire catalog.

The developer also focused on B2B localization, releasing a number of exclusive bespoke games created specifically for selected operator partners to meet specific local market tastes.

Awards and Recognition The company’s strategic shifts were validated by industry accolades. Belatra secured over 30 nominations throughout the year, with standout wins including:

Best Slot Provider (awarded by BitStarz).
Most Played Game of 2025 for Make It Gold at the SiGMA Africa Awards.
Player’s Pick Award.

Management Commentary Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, commented on the studio’s momentum:

“This year has truly defined who we are as a studio – ambitious, creative and focused on building long-term partnerships. We’ve expanded our universes, launched new ones and entered exciting new markets that will all help us carry this momentum into the New Year.”

‘Chaos and Soul’: Ebaka Games Plots Global Expansion After Viral Launch

‘chaos-and-soul’:-ebaka-games-plots-global-expansion-after-viral-launch

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: The “Instant Game” vertical (Crash, Plinko, Mines) is becoming crowded, but Ebaka Games is cutting through the noise with a distinct brand personality. By securing BMM Testlabs certification so quickly after launch, they are signaling to Tier 1 operators that despite their “chaotic” marketing vibe, the math underneath is solid and compliant. The backing of industry veteran Dmitry Belianin also adds immediate commercial credibility to the startup.

The Full Story

Ebaka Games, the fledgling studio that promises to bring “chaos and soul” to the iGaming sector, has outlined an aggressive growth strategy for 2026 following a landmark launch period in late 2025.

The studio, which officially debuted in November, reports that its initial rollout reached more than five million people worldwide. The launch saw its portfolio go live with the operator Menace, serving as the initial testbed for its mechanics and “Ebaka modes.”

The Product: Instant Games with Personality Ebaka is bypassing traditional slots to focus on the high-growth vertical of fast-paced, instant-win games. Their initial lineup includes:

Plinko
Mines
Tower
Limbo
Crash

Differentiation is achieved through unique mascots and signature gameplay tweaks designed to offer high win potential and distinct visual identities, moving away from the generic interfaces often found in this genre.

Regulatory Milestone Crucially for its 2026 roadmap, Ebaka Games has confirmed it has secured certification from BMM Testlabs. This accreditation validates the fairness and integrity of its RNG (Random Number Generator) and game engines, removing a major barrier to entry for regulated markets. With this certification in hand, the studio plans to launch with a number of “major brands” in the coming year.

Management Commentary Vitalii Zalievskyi, CEO of Ebaka Games, commented on the studio’s unorthodox approach:

“It’s only been a few weeks since we first introduced Ebaka Games to the world. The feedback has been breathtaking, and it vindicates the decision for us to take a different path to the rest of the industry. You don’t need huge marketing budgets to grab people’s attention if you are building something truly innovative.”

Industry Backing The studio describes itself as being “created by players for players” but boasts significant industry firepower in its corner. The team includes Dmitry Belianin, a well-known figure in the sector who is the co-founder of Blask and Menace, as well as Managing Partner at Already Media.

Racing Meets Nightlife: SBK Backs ARC’s New ‘Friday Night Live’ Series

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: British racing has a well-documented demographic problem; its core audience is aging. “Friday Night Live” is a direct attempt to fix this by blending high-stakes racing with the “experience economy” (DJs, nightlife vibes) that appeals to Gen Z and Millennials. Bringing SBK on board—a mobile-first, app-only sportsbook—is a perfect demographic fit, while the Racing Post adds the necessary credibility to ensure the actual racing product remains the focus.

The Full Story

Arena Racing Company (ARC) has unveiled the strategic commercial lineup for its upcoming Friday Night Live series, confirming SBK as the Exclusive Betting Partner and The Racing Post as the Official Media Partner.

Set to launch in January 2026, Friday Night Live is a new initiative created in collaboration with youth-focused events company INVADES. The series is designed to overhaul the traditional race day experience, featuring fast-paced fixtures under floodlights, DJ sets, and significant entertainment elements sandwiched between races.

The Commercial Deal

SBK: As the exclusive betting partner, the Smarkets-owned sportsbook will take naming rights and on-course branding for all 35 races. Crucially, these races will be broadcast live on mainstream television via ITV Racing as well as Sky Sports Research.
The Racing Post: As the Official Media Partner, the publication will provide content, coverage, and promotion across its digital platforms, aiming to bridge the gap between established racing purists and the new audience ARC hopes to attract.

A High-Stakes Experiment The series is not just a marketing exercise; it carries serious sporting weight. Each of the five scheduled nights will feature over £200,000 in prize money. The fixtures will rotate across three of ARC’s all-weather tracks: Wolverhampton, Newcastle, and Southwell.

Management Commentary David Leyden Dunbar, Group Director of Commercial Strategy at ARC, was clear about the target audience:

“We have been very clear that one of the aims of Friday Night Live is to engage the next generation of racing fans… Both [partners] have shown real enthusiasm to work with us… as well as using the platform that these fixtures will offer them to also engage with more established racing and sports fans.”

Adam Baylis, Marketing Director at SBK, added:

“Friday Night Live [is] a fresh and engaging concept that brings a new energy to British racing. SBK has always been built around sport… our focus is on enhancing the live race day experience in a fun, social and responsible way.”

The 2026 Schedule The series kicks off immediately in the new year:
