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.

Esports and live events operator says it stayed profitable in 2025 and plans 15 arena events across 13 cities in 2026.

BLAST has opened a New York City headquarters in Brooklyn as the company reported record growth and profitability in 2025, including more than $133 million in revenue and over 40% year-over-year growth.

The new U.S. headquarters is located at 45 Main Street in Brooklyn within a shared 55,000-square-foot office space. BLAST said the hub will support partnerships, live events and commercial growth across North America as it expands its U.S. operations.

The North American push is being led by Chief Business Officer Leo Matlock, who has relocated to New York, alongside Steve Rossi, who joined earlier this year as SVP of Brand Partnerships. BLAST said its U.S. team has grown to eight full-time employees.

BLAST said it has staged seven tier-one esports events in North America over the past 16 months, across Austin, Fort Worth, Boston, Raleigh, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. The company cited “more than $102 million” in economic impact from the 2025 BLAST.tv Austin Major alone, including more than $9 million in hotel expenditures. It also recently announced the Rocket League World Championship will return to Fort Worth in September 2026.

In 2025, BLAST said its broadcasts delivered more than 2 billion live views globally and 300 million hours watched, spanning live events in 22 cities worldwide. The company also said it distributes content via 29 broadcast partners, including SuperSport, France TV and RTBF, reaching audiences in more than 150 territories and 30+ languages.

“Competitive entertainment has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in global media because it combines community, technology and live experiences in entirely new ways,” said Robbie Douek, CEO of BLAST. “The next generation of fans want entertainment that feels participatory, social and global by default. That shift is creating enormous opportunities for brands, publishers, creators and host cities, and we believe BLAST is uniquely positioned to help lead that evolution after a landmark year in 2025.” BLAST said it plans to host 15 arena events across 13 cities and three continents in 2026.
