B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming has announced the network-wide release of Retro Tapes which reintroduces its innovative mechanic Cluster Link™.

The bright colours, funky soundtrack and feature mechanic that are still much-loved from Push’s wildly successful Jammin’ Jars are the stars of this latest entry in the studio’s ever-growing, diverse portfolio.

Set across 6×9 reels this cluster paying slot has symbols depicting various coloured cassettes that must form adjacent clusters of five or more to trigger a win. These winning symbols are then removed from play with new ones tumbling from the top of the gameboard creating additional opportunities for winning clusters to be made.

Instant prize symbols also fill the reels, these are awarded once also formed into a cluster of five or more and have values ranging from 1x to 1,000x. Additionally wild tape symbols substitute all others in game making it easier for players to be awarded wins. These land with a 1x multiplier that increases by 1x for each win they are a part of. These can be further boosted by a wild multiplier. Additionally a magnet symbol can gather all instances of one symbol into a cluster.

At least three of these Wild Tapes are required to gain access to the free spins round, where all wilds and instant cash prizes are held in place with blank spaces replacing regular symbols. During each spin either instant cash prizes, wild tapes, wild multipliers, magnet symbols and extra spin symbols can be landed in these empty spaces boosting winning potential, for a max win of up to 10,000x.

The action takes place against a backdrop of everything ‘80s – luminous neons and an electronic beat evoke the decade when tapes reigned supreme – and offers players the opportunity to mix it up and win big on this latest slot from a studio famed for its carefully created hits.

Commenting on the release, James Marshall, CEO at Push Gaming said: “Retro Tapes draws inspiration from our incredibly popular Jammin’ Jars series and our innovative Cluster Links mechanic, with wild multipliers increasing wins gained from clusters.

“The tapes may be retro but the gameplay is right up to date, with additional mechanics and a huge max win on offer, we are excited for players to get their hands on this vibrantly colourful title.”

The ICE Esports Arena at ICE Barcelona 2025 plays a key role in educating people about esports and how to access, integrate and regulate this growing vertical, says Clarion Gaming’s leader in Emerging Technology and Esports.

“Part of the role of the Esports Arena and The Esports and Games Conference is explaining exactly what esports is,” said Will Harding. “There is still work to be done in helping regulators to better understand esports. That’s why showcasing esports here at ICE is so important – we’re empowering people who are at the forefront of shaping regulatory policy.”

The ICE Esports Arena continues to grow year-on-year, with four world-ranked professional Counter-Strike 2 teams competing live at ICE 2025 for a US$25,000 prize pool. This year’s winners were 500 (Bulgaria: World ranking: 47).

“In terms of attendees, we have a whole spectrum of people here, from those that are still shocked that computer games have anything to do with sports betting to those that have built incredible businesses around esports,” Harding continued.

“There are also a number of visitors who realise that esports is significant for their business in terms of revenue but don’t necessarily know how to access this vertical, and we’re here to guide them toward unlocking its full potential.

“But the one thing which is absolutely certain is that esports betting is here to stay and it’s going to continue to grow”

He also praised headline partners, esports betting experts Oddin.gg, for their contribution in helping explain why esports is such a commercially important vertical for operators.

“Oddin.gg has been an excellent partner in realising the Esports Arena. Holding a professional esports tournament is a big endeavour. As our headline sponsor, Oddin.gg has played a key role in showcasing how the data and the odds work. They have helped complete the education journey,” he affirmed.

Commenting on ICE’s move to Barcelona, Harding highlighted that both the city and the show’s new venue Fira Barcelona Gran Via have extensive experience with esports, providing a perfect location for the ICE Esports Arena’s continuing expansion.

“It’s very established here. You can walk around Barcelona and see large-scale internet cafes catering for esports fans,” he added. “This represents an ideal foundation for the continued growth of the Esports Arena and The Esports and Games Conference in the years ahead.”
