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.”

GoldenRace launches V5 mobile solution with unified app and WebGL branding
GoldenRace has launched its next-generation V5 mobile solution, the supplier announced on 1 July 2026 in Malta. The company positions the release as a mobile delivery upgrade for its virtual sports and betting content, aimed at maintaining performance under high player traffic.
According to GoldenRace, V5 consolidates its previous architecture into a single application and “drastically reduces load sizes by 80–90%.” The company also said the platform is built “completely from the ground up” with a unified UI/UX designed to remain responsive across different network conditions.
On product features, GoldenRace said V5 introduces “advanced WebGL capabilities” to support high-fidelity graphics and operator-controlled branding. It also adds native gamification tools across games, including custom Tournaments, Leaderboards and Free Bets.
The company also outlined three mobile upgrades intended to reduce friction in the betting flow: a Lobby with modular layouts and a one-click toggle between scheduled and instant views; a next-generation Betslip with richer visual components and “smart organisation”; and dynamic Leaderboards with configurable funding and custom point logic.
GoldenRace said operators can switch to V5 by “changing a single line of code,” and added that a demo is available for operators evaluating the new mobile solution.

The company said the certification confirms it meets local regulatory and technical requirements and supports its strategy to expand in regulated markets.
PopOK Gaming did not disclose which regulator or test lab issued the certification, which products are covered, or the date the approval was granted.
Portugal continues to operate a ring-fenced regulated online gambling framework, with market access dependent on product approvals and operator licensing. For suppliers, local certification is typically a prerequisite to distribute content to licensed brands.

API
St8 adds game round replays to its single API platform
Replay tool builds on St8’s graphical game round details and launches first with nine casino game studios.
St8 has launched game round replays, adding visual playback of completed casino game rounds to its existing single API platform. The company said the feature is designed to help operators verify outcomes faster and resolve player queries more efficiently.
The new capability builds on St8’s graphical game round details, which it said is already used by operators. With replays, support and operations teams can access a round’s visual playback to investigate gameplay disputes and respond to players with more transparency.
St8 also positioned the feature as a player engagement tool, with operators able to surface notable moments such as big wins and bonus rounds for promotional use.
Game round replays will initially support titles from AvatarUX, BGaming, Endorphina, Hacksaw, Peter & Sons, Pragmatic Play, Scatter Kings, Shady Lady, and Tequity Originals, with more providers to be added. St8 said the feature is delivered through its existing single API integration and requires no additional development work, and is intended to scale across multiple brands and regulated markets.
David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said: “Operators are under increasing pressure to deliver exceptional customer support while keeping operational costs under control. Our graphical game round details have become a trusted and widely used tool for operators, giving support teams quick access to the information they need to resolve player queries efficiently. Game round replays complement this capability by providing a visual playback of each round, helping teams resolve cases even faster and with complete confidence.
“Beyond operational efficiency, the feature also opens up new opportunities for engagement. Operators can showcase exciting gameplay moments, celebrate big wins and create richer player experiences – all through the same integration. Because game round replays are delivered through our existing single API, partners can access this functionality immediately while continuing to benefit from the simplicity and scalability that sit at the heart of the St8 platform.”
