Feel the festive spirit with ‘A Winter’s Tale’, bringing enough warmth and wins to keep the chill out.

What comes to mind when you think about Christmas? For Blue Guru Games it means a roaring fire, hot chocolate, pillowy soft snow, and a healthy dose of Christmas carols. ‘A Winter’s Tale’ is leading the Christmas conga line of seasonal slot games. The five reel, 20 payline game doles out piles of presents in the form of re-spins and free spins. This mellow, medium volatility game comes with a tidy top prize of over 1,400 times the bet, and plenty of wins along the way.

Blue Guru’s game designers went full throttle on all things Yuletide. ‘A Winter’s Tale’ is just what it says on the tin – an unapologetic tribute to Christmas, embracing every seasonal symbol, and providing the perfect tonic for the chilly winter months. While spinning the beautifully frosted reels, you might forget what you came for, but the frequently triggered special features will quickly jog your memory.

The re-spin feature means that every scatter symbol will trigger an instant re-spin, giving you multiple chances to cash in for free each time you spin the reels. Fill the flickering lantern with scatters to unwrap a huge pile of gift-wrapped prizes that include multipliers, cash wins or instant access to the Sticky Wilds Bonus Game. This free games feature is massively rewarding, thanks to Wilds that lock in place throughout the spins. If you don’t want to wait around, the Bonus Buy feature allows you to buy into both the Sticky Wild Bonus Game and the Gift-Wrapping Bonus. The game’s overall effect is magically interactive and immersive.

Kick start your Christmas today with ‘A Winter’s Tale’, and spin for wins against an animated backdrop, where snow is falling, lights are twinkling, and Santa’s pulling a sleigh piled with gifts to a cheerful Yuletide soundtrack.

Kristian Hassall, Commercial Manager at Blue Guru said: “We wanted to create a seasonal slot that welcomes all the warmth and wistful nostalgia that a traditional Christmas brings. A Winter’s Tale transports players to a true Nordic festive atmosphere, slipping in frequent opportunities to maximise wins on every single spin.”

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

ThrillTech said it has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to offer its side-bet jackpot technology to regulated online casino, sports betting, and lottery operators in Ontario.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.

ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.
