Kalamba Games has blended two popular themes with mass media appeal in its latest release Megaways™ Duel Of The Dead, which sees a courageous sheriff battling with zombies.

Played across six reels, the slot integrates the fan favourite Megaways™ mechanic into its gameplay, allowing the reels to continually change size and offer up to 84,035 winning ways. Symbols depict wild-west characters that must form a matching combination across these reels to award a win.

A sheriff symbol is present on the first reel and when landed, all others except the sheriff and bonus turn into zombies, triggering the Zombies Go Wild feature. Here, the sheriff will aim and shoot at the zombies, and each landed shot will turn into a wild symbol with an incrementally increasing multiplier attached.

Triggered randomly, these wilds can be upgraded further via the Duel mechanic. A pistol-wielding zombie will appear on the sixth reel and can be shot by the sheriff, up to three additional multiplier wilds will be added to the game board each time the zombie is shot, continuing until he hits the sheriff, and the symbol is treated as wild for any resulting payout.

In the free spins round, shots fired during the Zombies Go Wild or Duel feature are collected and reused in subsequent triggers of these features within the bonus. This creates a crescendo of excitement where the number and size of multiplier wilds are continually increased.

Megaways™ Duel Of The Dead is the latest Kalamba Games release to make use of the popular Megaways™ mechanic following its recent hit 9 Blazing Cashpots Megaways™. The title’s use of innovative mechanics highlights the provider’s ambition of delivering unparalleled engagement and entertainment throughout the year.

Alex Cohen, COO and Co-Founder at Kalamba Games, said: “Megaways™ Duel Of The Dead is filled with suspense not only because of its aesthetics but also thanks to the multiple features that can trigger in tandem with each other and their ability to deliver huge wins for players.

“The title is a true passion project, bringing together cell-shaded visuals via our talented team of designers, both diegetic and non-diegetic sounds from the music, zombies and rattling prison cells that work together to provide unmatched immersion. The title’s overall presentation, feature-rich gameplay and innovative mechanics are sure to be a hit among players.”

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

ThrillTech said it has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to offer its side-bet jackpot technology to regulated online casino, sports betting, and lottery operators in Ontario.

We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.

ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.
