Get into the Christmas Spirit with Santa Express from Stakelogic
Unwrap Wilds, Multipliers and Free Spins in this festive-themed slot that promises big win presents regardless of whether players have been naughty or nice
Dear Santa. Please can I have lots of big wins this Christmas? If that’s at the top of your wish list, then you’ll want to unwrap Santa Express, Stakelogic’s fun-filled festive bonanza now available for operators to add to their slot game stockings.
Santa Express takes players to a winter wonderland like no other. The 5×4 reel game is set against a snowy backdrop with 20 active win lines available and a max win potential of 20,000x the player’s bet. Ho ho ho, indeed. Symbols include elves, baubles, hot chocolate and of course reindeer.
When a win occurs, all winning symbols are removed and in one of the empty positions, a Wild will appear. Once the Wild is in place, new symbols will cascade onto the reels like fresh white snow from the sky, opening up even more win opportunities.
With each consecutive win, the Wild that appears remains in place but with a Multiplier that can increase from x1 up to a maximum of x10.
For players that have been good all year, there is a chance to trigger Free Spins when three or more Scatters land on the reels. Before they play out, a random number of Free Games is awarded with 8, 10, 12 or 15 available. But that’s not all…
A random Win Multiplier is also chosen, with x2, x3, x5 and x10 up for grabs. What’s more, one random low or high paying symbol becomes the Chosen Symbol and that will pay double its pay table amount for the duration of the feature.
The Collapsing Wild feature from the base game is available during Free Spins and the bonus can be retriggered as per the below.
Three Scatters award 2x Multiplier and 5 Extra Free Spins
Four Scatters award 10x Multiplier and 8 Extra Free Spins
Five or more Scatters award 20x Multiplier and 10 Extra Free Spins
Of course, players that have been less well-behaved also have the option of buying the Free Spins bonus. Super Stake, the innovative feature that allows players to double their bet to increase the chance of a bonus triggering and big wins landing, is also available.
Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic, said: “Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year and with Santa Express players have the chance to unwrap some truly big wins. For those that have been well behaved, Free Spins and Multipliers await.
But we have spread the festive cheer even to those who find themselves on Santa’s naughty list, with the option to Buy the Bonus and enjoy some Free Spins regardless.”

BOYLE Sports has agreed a World Cup content partnership with football creator Mark Goldbridge, covering the tournament from 11 June to 19 July.
The operator said the deal includes 32 branded watchalongs across Goldbridge’s football channels, including The United Stand and That’s Football. The schedule covers every England World Cup fixture, Scotland’s group-stage matches, and selected other games, starting with the tournament opener between Mexico and South Africa.
Alongside the live watchalongs, Goldbridge will produce preview content for England’s group games and a “Game Changers” social series highlighting five players ahead of each round. BOYLE Sports said product integrations will run throughout the campaign.
BOYLE Sports said the partnership follows a prior campaign during the Premier League season and was supported by media agency Miroma Founders Network. The operator also pointed to the recent appointment of Olivia Buzaglo as its football ambassador as part of its summer football content plans.
Commenting on the partnership, Gill Blake-Swift, Director of Brand at BOYLE Sports, said: “Mark Goldbridge represents everything we stand for as a brand – passion for sport, confidence in your opinions and a deep connection with fans. His ability to engage audiences in an authentic, entertaining way makes him the perfect partner for this summer’s World Cup as we continue to build our digital presence and bring fans closer to the moments that matter.”
Mark Goldbridge added: “The World Cup is the biggest stage in football and I’m delighted to be partnering with BOYLE Sports across the tournament. The watchalongs are all about bringing fans into the emotion of the game in real time, and this partnership enable us to do that across some of the biggest fixtures of the summer. From England games to the standout matches across the tournament, we’ll be giving fans reaction, opinion, debate and plenty of moments to get involved in.”

Spinmatic launches Elemental Fusion Deluxe with instant Plinko bonus triggers
Spinmatic has launched Elemental Fusion Deluxe, a new slot built around instant access to its Plinko mechanic from the base game, the supplier said. The title was announced on 9 June 2026 from Malta.
Elemental Fusion Deluxe runs on a 5×3 layout with 25 fixed paylines. Spinmatic lists the game as medium-high volatility with a 96.04% RTP and 39.49% hit frequency.
The game’s feature set includes Gold Wilds, which can appear on any reel and substitute for standard symbols (excluding the Special Plinko Symbol and the Special Element Elixir Symbols). Spinmatic also says base gameplay uses “Instant Elixir Multipliers” linked to Fire, Earth, Water, Air, and Galaxy symbols.
Instead of an accumulator-style collection mechanic, the Plinko Feature Trigger activates when three dedicated trigger symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5, launching a random Plinko bonus. Spinmatic says the Plinko bonus is split into four elemental modes after a selection wheel sets a starting pool of 10 to 100 balls: Water Plinko (low volatility, Mini Jackpot), Air Plinko (medium volatility, Midi Jackpot), Earth Plinko (high volatility, Maxi Jackpot), and Fire Plinko (very high volatility, Grand Jackpot), played on a 16-row pyramid.
The company framed the release around reducing time-to-feature: “In a market where a split-second delay can lose a player, the quality of your content delivery determines your bottom line.”
