Scatters, Free Games and a Bonus game rev things up in the thrilling new slot

Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNW) (“Light & Wonder,” “L&W” or the “Company”) Specialist iGaming provider Lightning Box has opened the curtain on its stunning new game Stunt Stars after taking inspiration from the action-packed movie genre.

This 3×5 reeler, which boasts 243 different ways to win, features fast and furious game play and an authentic soundtrack straight from the pages of a Hollywood script.

It will make its debut in the UK and EU this week with the Rank Group followed by a general release in two weeks’ time.

The slot’s symbols include the classic 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace, as well as a clapper board and stunt doubles. The Wild symbol is a Car and the Scatter Bonus symbol is a Sky Diver.

Players are awarded a Bonus symbol when three, four or five Bonuses land on the grid, before being transported to a different screen where they have to pick the Sky Diver they believe will give them the biggest reward. During this bonus round, Free Games and Stunt Stars are collected. Each Stunt Star adds five Scatter Stunts to the reels.

Free Games are also collected and added to the total of Free Games played. The Parachute symbol begins this round and a maximum of 15 Free Games are awarded during the Sky Dive Bonus.

The Stunt Feature is awarded by collecting any Stunt Double symbol across the reels. The on-screen pay is repeated for each Scatter Stunt at twice the original payout. There is an additional pay for any three, four or five Stunt Double across the reels of 30. If five symbols are landed, the total win would be x11 the original payout.

This title will be available to customers of Light & Wonder’s industry-leading OpenGaming™ platform, lining up with Lightning Box’s other popular slots.

David Little, CPO at Lightning Box said: “Stunt Stars should be a smash hit with players, and we’re delighted to be making such a fast and exciting start to the new year with Rank. There are plenty of thrills and spills to blow away the January blues.”

Rob Procter, VP Game Development at Light & Wonder said: “After the success of games such as Divine Stars, we are pleased to welcome Stunt Stars to our ever-growing portfolio. The combination of bonuses, features, and many different ways to win gives fans the chance to try out a title which we know will be extremely popular.”

Peru and Brazil to provide launchpad for Latam expansion as ThrillTech strengthens presence in emerging regulated markets

ThrillTech, the B2B jackpot specialist, has taken a significant step forward in its international growth strategy after securing a B2B licence in Peru and regulatory certification in Brazil.

The approvals clear the path for ThrillTech to launch its proprietary player-funded jackpot solutions in Latin America for the first time, bringing its flagship ThrillPots product to one of the world’s most exciting and emerging regions for iGaming.

Latin America has become a focal point for operators in recent years, with Brazil’s market liberalisation and Peru’s structured regulatory framework, as set out by the country’s ministry of foreign trade and tourism (MINCETUR), providing fertile ground for innovative engagement tools.

By working tirelessly to secure entry into both countries, ThrillTech is positioning itself to support operators with compliant, performance-driven jackpot mechanics that can drive revenue and enhance retention.

Peter Mares, CTO and co-founder of ThrillTech, said: “Expanding into Latin America is a milestone moment for us. The region is bursting with opportunity, but it also demands solutions that are flexible, transparent, and built to scale. With a licence in Peru and certification in Brazil, we are ready to deliver the same measurable revenue impact to operators in Latam that we’ve already proven in Europe.

ThrillTech’s products are designed to provide operators with new revenue streams through side-bet jackpots, while also offering real-time engagement mechanics via cash-only rewards.

Already integrated with multiple tier-one operators in Europe, ThrillTech is now primed to replicate that success in Latam by delivering regulator-approved solutions to local operators.
