Release of Captain Wild, a new video slot game full of radioactivity
Red Rake Gaming has kicked off the new year by releasing a new 5×3 reel slot game, with a highly retro theme and two main characters – Captain Wild and the villain – who will battle it out to accumulate multipliers, increasing them on the “Intergalactic Wheel” and discovering “Mystery” symbols along the way. A unique battle that will intensify during the free spins feature, where Captain Wild will try to destroy the radioactive substances thrown at the reels by the villain and increase your chances of winning.
This new video slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines, as well as a free spins feature, where winning combinations and payments are determined by the PAYTABLE. If a combination of symbols appears with potentially more than one win, the amount won will correspond to the arrangement produced by the highest multiplier.
During the game, “Mystery” symbols may appear that turn into other symbols (except Bonus) and show different wins. If more than one mystery symbol appears during a particular spin, all of these symbols will turn into the same symbol.
Each non-winning spin will add a percentage of the bet to the progress bar, gradually filling it up. Once you have filled this bar entirely, the “Intergalactic Wheel” will appear, where you will need to choose between
Captain Wild and the villain. The wheel will then start to turn. When the wheel stops, if the color of the option you have chosen is the same as that of the result on the wheel, the corresponding multiplier will be added and you will be able to carry on playing up to a maximum of x100.
3 or more Bonus symbols in any position will launch the free spins feature. After each spin, the villain will place radioactive substances on a random reel.
If a WILD symbol appears on the radioactive reel, the radioactivity will be destroyed and the feature multiplier will increase.
If a SUPER WILD symbol appears in any place, the radioactivity in all reels will be destroyed and the multiplier will increase by the number of “cleaned” radioactive reels.
Wins landed during the free spins feature will be multiplied by the value of the multiplier at the start of the spin. The feature ends when all the reels have become radioactive. At the end of the free spins feature, if the total win is less than 10 times the bet that launched the feature, the radioactivity in two random reels will be destroyed and the feature will continue.
In a nutshell, this is a highly comprehensive video slot game with plenty of action during each spin.
Captain Wild has been released today, the 26th of January, across all Red Rake Gaming operators in all markets.

Paf Passes Half a Billion Euros for the Benefit of Society
Paf increased both its revenue and profit during 2025. At the same time, the company has passed a historic milestone – more than half a billion euros has now been distributed for the benefit of society since its foundation in 1966.
The Paf Group’s revenue increased to 214.5 million euro in 2025, compared to 191.7 million euro the previous year, an increase of 12%. The Group’s profit also increased, from 54.3 million to 57.2 million euro.
“The profit improved by five percent, which means that Paf delivered the strongest result in the company’s history. Our figures are positive across all our markets and our physical operations increased revenue by three percent,” said Christer Fahlstedt, CEO of Paf.
During the past year, the number of active customers also increased by 12%, contributing to the positive development.
The annual distribution of Paf funds amounts to 55.5 million euro. This major distribution means that Paf passes half a billion euros in distributed Paf funds. Since Paf was founded in 1966, a total of 527.9 million euro has been distributed for the benefit of society.
“Contributing more than 500 million euro to building a stronger society in Åland is a new milestone in Paf’s 60-year history. Paf has made a remarkable journey from offering local gaming experiences in Åland in the 1960s to introducing gaming onboard ferries during the latter part of the 20th century. With the development of digital gaming since the early 2000s, Paf is today an established operator in several markets across Europe,” said Jan-Mikael von Schantz, Chairman of the Board at Paf.
“It is the result of long-term and successful work carried out with great expertise by Paf’s management and employees,” he added.
Paf funds are used for various projects and organisations that benefit society, including social activities, culture, youth work, sports, environmental initiatives and more.
“We do not take the measures we introduce lightly, it requires a great deal from all of us at Paf when we implement responsible gaming measures that other operators in the industry do not have. At the same time, we are proud to stand by what we believe is the right and responsible way forward,” said Christer Fahlstedt.
In 2025, Paf chose to lower the loss limit to 16,000 euro for all customers and to 6000 euro for young people aged 20–24. This year in February 2026, the general mandatory loss limit was further reduced to 15,000 euro. The latest reduction means that Paf has now halved the original loss limit that was first introduced in 2018.
