Kalamba Games has sprinkled a generous dose of seasonal joy on one of its most popular games from a much-loved franchise in its latest release Joker Max: Hit ‘n’ Roll Xmas Edition.

The new slot includes the very high volatility that the series is known for, along with numerous tweaks and improvements such as the inclusion of the Hit ‘n’ Roll bonus wheel feature.

Both Cashpots and Free Spins meters build throughout base game play, increasing potential cashpots prizes and the number of starting Free Spins respectively. Landing three Hit ‘n’ Roll symbols triggers a prize wheel.

Spinning the wheel can award different outcomes including winning one of six Cashpots, Free Spins, which are available in different variants or an instant cash prize. Free Spins are split into three types with 2x, 3x or 5x Wild Multipliers being attached throughout the round.

Joker Max: Hit ‘n’ Roll Xmas Edition also contains HyperBonus, which allows players to instantly buy the Hit ‘n’ Roll feature with two options available, they can either win Cashpots or the Free Spins round, or a fixed cash prize can be won in place of these.

Joker Max: Hit ‘n’ Roll Xmas Edition delivers Christmas cheer along with engaging gameplay for fans old and new and is the perfect way to round off another year of high-quality content for the studio.

Alex Cohen, COO and Co-Founder at Kalamba Games, said: “Joker Max is always a fantastic title to work with and it lends itself perfectly to a Christmas update.

“The additions to play are the ideal festive present to our fans and we’ve no doubt that they’ll welcome Joker Max: Hit ‘n’ Roll Xmas Edition just as much as they have with all the other entries in our classic series.”

Play’n GO breathes new life into ancient Chinese mythology with Bao Shi, a visually striking 5-reel slot centred around the mythical Lion God, Lioras. Set amidst mist-shrouded mountains and long-forgotten temples, Bao Shi beckons players to release Lioras from an ancient spell cast by a malevolent warlord, bringing prosperity to those brave enough to beat the drums of destiny.

Players engage with ornate symbols and mystic Drum symbols that pulse with life, creating immersive gameplay wrapped in cultural authenticity. Bao Shi promises not only engaging storytelling but substantial rewards through its innovative gameplay mechanics.

The standout Lioras Blessings feature spontaneously graces the reels, transforming symbols into Coin Wilds with generous multipliers, visually elevating the experience and boosting win potential.

Bao Shi joins Play’n GO’s esteemed catalogue of narrative-driven, culturally resonant titles like Imperial Opera and Celebration of Wealth, offering players an enriched experience that blends compelling narratives with sophisticated gameplay.

Step into Pip O’Spin’s world of rainbows, golden rewards, and mischievous magic

Stakelogic has unveiled its latest enchanted adventure, Leprechaun’s Loot, where Irish folklore meets inventive mechanics. Starring Pip O’Spin, a cheeky leprechaun from the emerald hills with a gift for turning rainbows into gold, the game combines playful storytelling with exciting Hold ‘N’ Win action.

With 243 Pay Ways, players begin on a 5×3 grid where Rainbow symbols can be boosted into Golden Rainbows, instantly increasing their value. Rainbow Collects deliver instant wins when a Collect symbol lands on reel five, while Lucky Respins give players a chance to trigger the Bonus. Players can also activate Super Stake to double the likelihood of entering Free Spins or buy directly into the Hold ‘N’ Win feature for 100x their bet.

Once inside the Hold ‘N’ Win Bonus, the real magic begins. Here, Rainbow and Golden Rainbow symbols lock in place while modifiers add layers of excitement.

Expand symbols can unlock additional rows up to a full 5×5 grid, while Double symbols fill a meter that, when charged, doubles all Rainbow values before resetting. Golden Rainbows persist throughout the round, transferring and stacking their value onto other symbols creating a steady stream of treasure.

With high volatility and a max multiplier of x5,000, Leprechaun’s Loot balances whimsical charm with serious win potential.

James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “With Leprechaun’s Loot, we wanted to create a slot where every feature feeds into the next, building momentum and excitement spin by spin. The Hold ‘N’ Win round really comes alive as modifiers stack, the grid expands, and Golden Rainbows keep values climbing. This release delivers layers of gameplay that will keep players engaged, entertained and wanting to come back for more.”

Leprechaun’s Loot will be available to operators and players from 9 October 2025.
