Million Games is thrilled to announce the release of Chicken X, a high-risk, high-reward game that brings an exciting gambling twist to the classic arcade-style road-crossing genre. With a maximum payout factor of 10,000x, Chicken X challenges players to navigate the daring chicken across a busy road while strategically deciding when to cash out or push their luck for even bigger rewards.

A New Take on Risk and Reward

Chicken X is designed to blend simple yet exhilarating gameplay with the thrill of casino-style betting. Players must guide Jack the Chicken across multiple lanes of traffic, collecting cash with each successful crossing. However, one wrong move could mean disaster – if Jack gets hit by a vehicle, the game ends, and all accumulated winnings are lost.

With five difficulty levels ranging from Beginner to Insane, players can adjust the level of risk they are willing to take. Each level offers a unique combination of volatility and potential payouts, making Chicken X suitable for both casual and high-stakes players.

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has unveiled Irish Treasures 2 – the follow up to the hugely successful original Irish Treasures – Leprechaun’s Fortune.

Players return to an enchanted forest that shimmers with green embers under a darkened canopy. The game is set within a 5×3 format, framed in a wooden frame to give the feeling of being inside an old Irish drinking tavern. A red-haired pixie, pot of gold, beer tankard and wooden pipe complete the rustic feel.

A sharp green-suited Leprechaun acts as the Wild and substitutes for any symbol aside from double symbols, free spins, and bonus. 5 wilds on a winning line pay x200.

Light-hearted folk music plays in the background to heighten the experience as the anticipation builds on the reels. Three or more scattered free spin symbols in the main game will launch the Free Spins feature. Before starting, players spin the Wheel of Fortune to select the free spins total, which ranges between 10 and 40, and the symbol that will double throughout.

The bonus feature will activate only when three golden horseshoes are found on screen. Players receive three spins to start and the goal is to fill the metre by collecting Scattered winning symbols, every five symbols collected will complete one cell in the metre. Discovering a +1 symbol will replenish the spin counter and once the spins are finished there will be the final payout based on the last filled metre cell.

Irish Treasures 2 also has Stacked Wilds where once the reels are spinning, Wild symbols have the chance to appear on the reels to boost the chances of a win. During the base game, Only Double Symbols has a chance to add to the excitement, making all symbols appear in double form.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Following the success of the original, Irish Treasures 2 is back and it’s bursting with Irish charm and new features. Players will love returning to the Emerald Isle for a magical journey on the path for golden treasures.”

The KSA will make even more efforts to point out to licensed providers their legal obligation to inform the KSA without delay of indications that point to an increased risk of manipulation of an involved match. Guidance for the market in the form of a guideline will follow shortly. In addition, the KSA will continue to monitor the signals.

One of the goals of the Gambling Act is to combat gambling-related match-fixing at licensed providers of sports betting. The KSA has no legal task in detecting match-fixing, but examines whether licensed providers do enough to prevent match-fixing.

For this purpose, the Sports Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU) was established within the KSA, a reporting point for signals of possible match-fixing in gambling.
