Play’n GO reveals their Wilde card in Gerard’s Gambit
Play’n GO welcomes a new family member to their popular Wilde franchise in their new educative online slot, Gerard’s Gambit.
Gerard’s Gambit takes players on an ever-unfolding journey alongside the black sheep of the renowned Wilde family, Gerard Wilde. From the tombs beneath the dunes of Egypt to the lost temples of the Mexican rainforests, Gerard will risk it all to reclaim the honour of the Wilde family name.
This innovative adventure-themed slot game has two goals — to teach newer players about traditional slot mechanics, which will progress in complexity as they advance through the levels, and to provide everyone with an engaging and fresh way to play. Gerard’s Gambit charts a course into undiscovered territory with this truly unique take on video slot games.
With ten different levels to discover, each with its own exciting theme, players will start with a straightforward 3×1 reel with one payline at level one, and eventually progressing to a full 5×3 reel with ten paylines at level nine. The objective here will be to earn three wins. Once each level’s tasks are completed, the reel will expand, revealing new challenges, larger reels, more symbols, and advanced features such as Free Spins and Scatters.
Play’n GO strives to offer fun and rewarding experiences to players wherever possible. Making this genre of gaming increasingly accessible to new players, while also providing enthusiasts with ground-breaking new ways to play, is sure to broaden this passionate audience and keep fans coming back for more.
Fans of Play’n GO’s Book of Dead titles, such as Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead and Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness, will go wild for this brand-new addition to the family. Delve deeper than ever before in search of artifacts and treasures that can help Gerard regain his status among his talented family.
Head of Game Retention at Play’n GO, George Olekszy said:
“We’re excited to have fans set out on this thrilling new adventure and experience something different to the paths they’ve trodden before.
“With the Book of Dead series being one of our most popular IPs, it made sense to uncover a brand-new route for fans to take and expand upon the lore of the Wilde family.
“In Gerard’s Gambit, not only will fans be introduced to the rugged and mysterious Gerard Wilde, but they’ll also get to try out a great new way to play slot games and develop a deeper understanding of the traditional mechanics of these games. With the expanding reels mechanic helping new players not get overwhelmed and offering an entirely new way to play for veteran players, this is sure to be an unforgettable journey.”

Thunderkick evolves psychedelic series with third chapter Pink Elephants Trinity
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Deeper progression mechanics level up win potential to 14,000x
Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched Pink Elephants Trinity, the third instalment of its mystical franchise, where six bonus game levels unveil a journey towards deep synesthetic immersion.
The Swedish supplier has traded the desert landscape and starry sky for an ethereal jungle backdrop, where a tribe of monkeys gather around the Pink Flame for a ritual honouring the Pink Elephants.
The Mystery Lightning feature can strike at any time during the base game, randomly distributing up to five peanut scatters across the reels to increase the chance of triggering the bonus round.
The peanut scatter is the active ingredient that gives substance and flow to the bonus game. A minimum of three grants entry to the six-level round, the first of which activates the peanut collection mechanic. Peanuts attached to Pink Elephants and scatters are accumulated in a meter, and landing two or three scatters simultaneously multiplies the number of peanuts by 2x or 3x.
The goal of the bonus game is to gather 144 peanuts to the Pink Triangle Apex, where the round reaches its climax and the spirit of the Pink Elephants descend. Potential is levelled up with the addition of a seventh centre reel, expanding the number of ways to win to 16,384, and removing all symbols except the Pink Elephants to enhance potential payouts.
During the bonus game, players meet three spirit animals associated with shamanic tradition. These work in symbiosis to alchemise and level up potential through a Sticky Wild mechanic, and as is synonymous with the Pink Elephants franchise, results in a standout ascension event.
The number of bonus-triggering scatters determines how many spirit animals will be activated at the start of the round, with the maximum of three occurring when six scatters trigger the feature. Four ante bet options also increase the likelihood of entering the bonus by three to 144 times, granting the player greater control of their experience.
Pink Elephants Trinity is the latest involution of a popular Thunderkick series, building on the spiritual ambience and vibrant colour palette with a high-impact progressive bonus round that takes the experience to the next level.
Viktor Johansson, Slot Game Creator at Thunderkick, said: “The Pink Elephants brand has been a strong and memorable performer for us since the original debuted in November 2017. With each iteration, we have layered in new elements and perspectives into the realm to enhance the experience while staying in touch with its heritage.
“Trinity retains those signature audiovisual aspects for continuity, while expanding the multi-level-up bonus to maximise anticipation, mystery, excitement and variation. With the updates in Pink Elephants Trinity, we feel closer to the heart of the dreamlike synesthetic universe than ever before.”

WinSpirit Redesigns VIP Experience to Drive Retention and Long-Term Player Value
Player loyalty is evolving — and so is WinSpirit’s approach. They’ve unveiled a fully redesigned VIP program, merging loyalty mechanics and exclusive rewards into one clear, gamified journey. The goal? Drive deeper engagement, long-term satisfaction, and higher lifetime player value (LTV) through transparency and simplicity.
This combination of permanent progression and time-limited campaigns positions WinSpirit’s VIP Club as a modern retention tool — one designed to reduce churn while giving players a clearer sense of achievement.
Data-Driven Response
The updated VIP model is a direct response to user behavior and feedback. WinSpirit observed that, for some users, the previous program might have been a little complex — primarily due to separated loyalty levels and the pressure of maintaining temporary statuses. So the brand decided to simplify the progression path.
“We consistently listen to our players, and their desire to retain earned progress was clear,” said a WinSpirit representative. “This redesign is our commitment to them—we’re replacing complexity with simplicity, ensuring every player feels valued and their long-term journey is rewarding.”
How the New VIP Club Works
The redesigned VIP Club merges lifetime progress with seasonal engagement to create a system that rewards both consistency and activity. Players unlock a permanent VIP status that never resets — a key benefit that builds trust and long-term motivation.
On top of this, rotating seasonal levels introduce fresh challenges and time-limited bonuses that keep engagement high. Even when players take a break, their status stays — removing pressure and encouraging steady play.
All progression and rewards are tracked in a centralized VIP dashboard, giving players full visibility and control without the need to contact support. This clarity minimizes friction and churn.
Seasonality as a Strategic Engagement
WinSpirit’s new format introduces quarterly campaigns, each with a dedicated theme and bonus structure. The current activation, Flame of Thrill, designed to re-ignite player motivation during autumn campaigns, features:
- Increased cashback tiers and deposit insurance
- Personalized bonuses and access to exclusive promotions
- Limited seasonal rewards and much more
Even for long-term players, these rotating seasons bring something new — keeping the program exciting well beyond the first few tiers.
Why It Matters for Business
From a business perspective, the redesigned VIP Club introduces several measurable advantages:
- Increased retention (reduced status loss anxiety).
- Higher LTV (steady progression over time).
- More consistent activity (recurring seasonal goals).
- Fewer negative touchpoints (clear rules).
The introduction of a permanent VIP threshold (VIP Iron) creates a strong psychological anchor for re-engagement — aligning well with known gamification strategies in product design.
Overall, WinSpirit’s transformation reflects a broader commitment to listening to players. The brand is shifting toward a more sustainable model that fosters long-term relationships through clarity, fairness, and flexible progression. It’s a big step toward a smarter, player-first future — where loyalty is truly rewarded, and progress never goes unnoticed.
