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.”

DATA.BET Expands at SiGMA South America 2026
DATA.BET has reinforced its ambitions in Latin America by making a strong return to BiS SiGMA South America 2026, one of the region’s most influential iGaming events.
With a significantly larger presence and an expanded product suite, the company demonstrated a clear evolution from its earlier identity as an esports-centric provider into a comprehensive sportsbook solutions partner.
Held in São Paulo, the event provided the perfect stage for DATA.BET to showcase its full-scale betting ecosystem. The company presented an integrated portfolio that spans traditional sports betting, esports wagering, and virtual sports—positioning itself as a one-stop solution for operators targeting regulated markets, particularly in Brazil.
A key highlight of DATA.BET’s offering is its GLI certification for Brazil. This certification is a major advantage for operators, as it removes the need for additional technical approvals and significantly shortens time-to-market. In a rapidly developing regulatory environment like Brazil’s, this capability gives partners a competitive edge when launching or scaling their betting platforms.
At the exhibition stand, visitors explored several product enhancements designed to improve both operator efficiency and player engagement. Among the updates were revamped Statistical Widgets and the esports-focused Timeline Widget, both aimed at delivering richer real-time insights and more immersive user experiences. The introduction of features such as One-Click Bet and Early Payout further underscores DATA.BET’s commitment to streamlining the betting journey while adding flexibility and excitement for end users.
In addition to officially announced upgrades, the company also teased an upcoming feature currently in development. While details remain under wraps, DATA.BET indicated that this innovation will push engagement standards even higher, reflecting its ongoing investment in next-generation betting technology.
Beyond technology, the company ensured its booth stood out through an engaging and interactive atmosphere. Cosplayers portraying popular League of Legends characters Jinx and Ahri attracted steady attention, reinforcing DATA.BET’s roots in esports culture while bridging the gap to mainstream sports betting audiences. A dynamic kinetic screen added a visual centerpiece, helping to maintain strong visitor engagement throughout the event.
According to Natalie Loshatynska, Head of PR & Marketing at DATA.BET, the company’s return to SiGMA South America marks a significant milestone. She emphasized that the transformation from an esports-focused provider to a full sportsbook ecosystem reflects both strategic growth and a deep commitment to local markets. With expanded coverage, localized certification, and tailored tools, DATA.BET is positioning itself as a leading supplier across key verticals including esports, traditional sports, and virtual betting.
This strategic shift aligns with broader industry trends, as Latin America—particularly Brazil—continues to emerge as one of the fastest-growing regulated betting markets globally. By investing in technology, compliance, and localized solutions, DATA.BET aims to empower operators to capitalize on these opportunities while delivering high-quality betting experiences to users.
As competition intensifies in the region, companies that can combine regulatory readiness with innovative product offerings are likely to lead the market. DATA.BET’s performance at BiS SiGMA South America 2026 suggests it is well on its way to becoming a dominant force in the evolving Latin American betting landscape.

GGBET UA and FBU Host “Media Slam”: A Landmark Open Media Event for Ukrainian Basketball
In a historic move for Ukrainian sports, the Basketball Federation of Ukraine (FBU) and title sponsor GGBET UA recently hosted Media Slam in Kyiv. This inaugural open media event served as a high-level forum to analyze the regular season results of the GGBET SuperLeague and the recent performances of Ukraine’s men’s and women’s national teams.
Since becoming the league’s title sponsor in January 2026, GGBET UA has prioritized transparency and engagement. The event highlighted a significant milestone: the return of fans to stadiums despite the ongoing challenges of martial law, signaling a resilient recovery for the domestic game.
Highlights and Recognition
The “Media Slam” wasn’t just about statistics; it was a celebration of the sport’s current momentum:
-
MVP Honors: The regular season’s top five players were officially recognized for their outstanding contributions.
-
Kyiv-Basket Victory: The Ukrainian Cup winners received a formal check in honor of their championship win.
-
Market Discussion: Stakeholders engaged in a candid dialogue regarding the increasing competitiveness of the league.
Sergii Mishchenko, CEO of GGBET UA, commented:
“We didn’t get involved in Ukrainian basketball just to have our logo on a banner. This is a systematic approach. We see the increasing interest in basketball and want to be a part of that growth. The tougher the competition, the stronger Ukrainian basketball becomes.”
A Strategic Expansion
Basketball marks a major pillar in GGBET UA’s diversifying sports portfolio. Following high-profile partnerships with FC Dynamo Kyiv, FC Polissya Zhytomyr, and the Usyk vs. Dubois 2 rematch, the brand is now cementing its status as a cornerstone of the Ukrainian basketball ecosystem.
