Double the fun with Playson’s Royal Joker: Hold and Win
Playson, the fast-growing digital entertainment supplier, has released Royal Joker: Hold and Win, building on the company’s well-loved series of “Royal” themed games with plenty of opportunities for players to crown themselves in glory.
The rightful heir to successful Playson titles such as Royal Coins 2: Hold and Win, this latest instalment leans on the classic fruit style gameplay that players are already accustomed to and introduces new features for them to explore.
The popular Bonus Game, powered by Hold and Win mechanics, is enhanced with the inclusion of the Joker’s Multiplier feature. During the mode, Joker symbols that make an appearance leave a x2 multiplier in the cell, with every new inclusion in the same spot increasing the multiplier by one and remaining in place until the Bonus Game ends. Bonus symbols that land in these modified cells see winnings increased by the corresponding multiplier.
Further elevating the Bonus Game is the Royal Bonus feature, which can only land on reel 2 and sticks throughout the mode. This powerful symbol gathers all Bonus values, as well as the title’s Mini, Minor, Major and Grand jackpots, delivering significant win potential for players.
Royal Joker: Hold and Win is complete with the inclusion of Playson’s increasingly popular Pile of Gold feature, which can randomly trigger access to the Bonus Game during the main game, as well as add symbols with x2 multiplier during the respins mode.
Tamas Kusztos, Chief Commercial Officer at Playson, said: “It’s incredibly exciting to release Royal Joker: Hold and Win, a game we expect will deliver strong engagement thanks to the inclusion of new features alongside existing mechanics that resonate with players.”
Natalia Shkarbanova, Product Owner at Playson, added: “We’re sure fans of our Royal series of games will appreciate this latest adventure, particularly with the new Joker’s Multiplier feature that they can explore. Once again, we’re showcasing our ability to take a classic theme forward and introduce new variations to the gameplay.”

QTech expands crash and fast games lineup with XUP Studio content
QTech has signed a new content agreement with XUP Studio to add more crash and fast games to its aggregation platform, extending its catalogue for operators across emerging markets including Latin America and Africa.
XUP Studio was founded in 2025 and is focused on crash and fast games. The studio said it is building new mechanics rather than relying on reskins. It currently has three games live, including Pingwin and Pigaboom, with four more in development and a further three planned for 2026.
Philip Doftvik, QTech’s CEO, said: “XUP Studio’s initial launch of some jaw-dropping crash and fast games is premised on clever mechanics, easily intelligible gameplay, high payouts and colourful graphics. This kind of content is well-suited to LatAm and African markets, which directly tracks our ongoing expansion throughout these territories. After such a dazzling beginning, we can’t wait to see what’s next from this rising star.”
Nikoloz Kadjaev, Co-Founder of XUP Studio, added: “Our idea was to build new mechanics in the fast and crash game segments. With the market flooded by reskins, XUP’s vision has always been to create something truly unique – not just visually, but mechanically as well. Emboldened by the breakout success of Pigaboom, our team will continue building games with mechanics that stand apart from everything else on the market. Having such a strong in-house think-tank enables us to carefully craft each product to a high standard. We are in no rush, never compromising on quality for faster delivery. In short, we don’t copy – we create something fresh that we would love to play ourselves.
“Partnering with QTech represents an ideal opportunity for us to strengthen our product distribution across emerging markets and deliver our fantastic crash games to more and more top-tier operators, unlocking untapped jurisdictions from Asia, through Africa and Eastern Europe, and on to Latin America for diversified growth.”

3 Scarabs Of Rebirth
Spinomenal releases Egyptian-themed slot 3 Scarabs Of Rebirth
New 5×3 Hold & Hit title adds four bonus symbol types, a Buy Feature, and a top prize capped at x3,000 of the bet.
Spinomenal has launched a new slot title, 3 Scarabs Of Rebirth, expanding its Egyptian-themed content catalogue. The game is a 5×3 reel video slot built around a Hold & Hit-style bonus.
In the base game, the Pharaoh serves as the Wild and substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus, Boost, Collect, Multi and Jackpot symbols. The slot includes four main bonus symbol types: a Bonus symbol with values, a Boost symbol that applies a random bet multiplier (x2, x3, x4, x5, x7 or x10) across symbols, a Multi symbol that multiplies the value of other symbols (x2, x3 or x5), and a Collect symbol that aggregates Bonus symbol values into one prize.
A Bonus Blast Feature can add additional Bonus symbols when one or more appear without triggering the main bonus. The Hold & Hit Bonus Game triggers when six or more qualifying symbols land, holding triggering symbols in place and starting with three bonus spins that reset when new symbols land. During the feature, prizes can include symbol values ranging from x1 to x10 of the total bet, plus Mini (x20), Minor (x50) and Major (x150) jackpots. Filling all 15 cells awards the Grand Jackpot, capped at x3,000 of the total bet.
The title also includes a Buy Feature that lets players purchase direct entry to the Bonus Game at a cost scaled to the chosen bet.
Spinomenal CO-CEO Omer Henya said: “3 Scarabs Of Rebirth combines the eternal appeal of Ancient Egypt with the satisfying Hold & Hit gameplay that our players enjoy. There are four different Bonus symbols, each opening up a different path to victory and a Grand Jackpot of x3,000 up for grabs, making this a treasure hunt players won’t want to put down.”

GoldenRace launches V5 mobile solution with unified app and WebGL branding
GoldenRace has launched its next-generation V5 mobile solution, the supplier announced on 1 July 2026 in Malta. The company positions the release as a mobile delivery upgrade for its virtual sports and betting content, aimed at maintaining performance under high player traffic.
According to GoldenRace, V5 consolidates its previous architecture into a single application and “drastically reduces load sizes by 80–90%.” The company also said the platform is built “completely from the ground up” with a unified UI/UX designed to remain responsive across different network conditions.
On product features, GoldenRace said V5 introduces “advanced WebGL capabilities” to support high-fidelity graphics and operator-controlled branding. It also adds native gamification tools across games, including custom Tournaments, Leaderboards and Free Bets.
The company also outlined three mobile upgrades intended to reduce friction in the betting flow: a Lobby with modular layouts and a one-click toggle between scheduled and instant views; a next-generation Betslip with richer visual components and “smart organisation”; and dynamic Leaderboards with configurable funding and custom point logic.
GoldenRace said operators can switch to V5 by “changing a single line of code,” and added that a demo is available for operators evaluating the new mobile solution.
