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.”

DR Gaming Technology (DRGT) has appointed Stephane Henault – formerly of Light & Wonder, Scientific Games and Bally’s – as its new director of technical services.

The newly created role comes amid pending deals for DRG that will see it expand in Latin America and Africa.

“This is an important appointment for DRGT as we continue to scale our operations globally,” said company CEO Marco Herrera.

“Stephane brings a wealth of technical and operational experience, as well as a deep understanding of the evolving needs of casino operators. His expertise will be instrumental in further strengthening and streamlining the services we provide to our partners.”

“I see this opportunity as the perfect way for me to re-connect with operator partners directly, leveraging the experience gained over the last three decades working for both a start-up, and of late, a massive multinational, and to contribute in a very practical way to their day-to-day success,” said Henault.

“DRGT’s current growth trajectory presents an exciting challenge, particularly in ensuring that as the business expands, its technical service delivery remains efficient, scalable, and aligned with operator requirements.

“Being part of that journey and helping to build processes and structures that support it, is hugely motivating. Right now, I wake up every morning with a spring in my step – that’s special.”
