Freddie Fox is fattening up a farmyard feast in Play’n GO’s Fox Mayhem
Play’n GO present their new prized slot at the farmer’s market in their chaotic animal-themed title, Fox Mayhem.
Who said the countryside was a relaxing place to live? You’ll find that there is plenty going on at the quaint, rural farm, and where there’s activity like this, there is also opportunity… This innovative new slot game from Play’n GO will take you on an adrenaline-fuelled adventure with Freddie Fox as he plots to nab the farmer’s best pig before he makes it to the county fair. But Freddie will need help to fatten him up first.
In the base game, players will aim to create winning combinations on the 5×3 reels. During this time, they’ll also get the chance to unlock a number of exciting bonus features to help maximise wins across the game’s 20 paylines.
By landing 3 Scatter symbols, players will be awarded with 10 Free Spins, as well as a random multiplier or x2, x5, x10, or x20 for the upcoming Free Spins round. Any wins achieved during this round, including any Prize Collections that are earned, will be multiplied, increasing the chances for players to land some tasty wins.
The Prize Collection feature is triggered if 3 or more food symbols land. This starts a bonus lock and spin-style game. Players will have three lives and lose a life when no symbols land on the reels during the round. Should all three lives be lost, the round is over, and any wins will be claimed.
Each time a symbol lands during this round, however, the value assigned to that symbol will be added to the pot, and all lives will be replenished. The symbols will stick in place, reducing the number of slots available on the reels for more symbols to land.
Play’n GO strives to create innovative and enjoyable new games with a focus on eye-catching and engaging themes to keep players coming back for more. Play’n GO is continuously building up an already-teeming catalogue of titles, whether it’s new additions to popular franchises such as Gerard’s Gambit in the Wilde Collection, or exciting new IPs like Fox Mayhem itself. This has helped to keep the company at the forefront of the world of online slots and will help them to stay there for years to come.
Head of Game Retention at Play’n GO, George Olekszy said: “Here at Play’n GO, we are deeply passionate about crafting engaging narratives in a variety of themes. Creating games that immerse players in different worlds, settings, and narratives is an exciting challenge for our team, and with Fox Mayhem, we’ve delved into the vibrant aesthetics of the countryside. This is a setting that holds as much charm and adventure as any distant planet or ancient tomb, however.
“With Fox Mayhem, we’ve tried to capture the true essence of rural mayhem and mischief. The suspense of the Prize Collection round, along with the potential for big wins during the Free Spins, keeps the game’s pace lively and engaging, truly capturing the spirit of Freddie’s cunning culinary quest.”

Big Hot Flaming Pots
Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures – Lightning Box Brings Land-Based Hit Online
Light & Wonder has officially launched Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures, the digital debut of its highly successful land-based franchise. Developed by in-house specialist studio Lightning Box, this 3×5 slot offers 243 ways to win and a high-energy “three-pot” mechanic that has already become a staple on casino floors worldwide.
The game transitions the whimsical “dumpling-tossing” theme to online audiences, combining vibrant Asian-inspired aesthetics with a deep mathematical model designed for high-engagement sessions.
The Three-Pot Mechanic & Seven Feature Combinations
At the core of the gameplay is the persistent pot system. Landing specific colored coins fuels three separate pots—Yummy, Spicy, and Upsized. These pots can trigger individually or in any combination, leading to seven distinct bonus paths.
| Feature Mode | Gameplay Enhancement |
| Yummy Mode | Increases the Hold & Spin respin counter from 3 to 4, significantly extending bonus life. |
| Spicy Mode | Introduces Chilli multipliers; landing a pepper adds its cash value to every symbol currently held on the board. |
| Upsized Mode | Unlocks a Dual Grid (two reel sets) for the Hold & Spin round, doubling the win potential. |
| Combined Modes | Triggering all three at once creates the “Mega Bonus,” featuring dual grids, 4 respins, and value-boosting peppers. |
Innovation: The Stack N’ Hit
Feature
Unlike traditional Hold & Spin mechanics where symbols simply lock until the round ends, Tasty Treasures introduces the Stack N’ Hit
evolution.
-
Reel Clearing: When a vertical reel is filled with Bun symbols, the prizes are instantly collected, and the reel is cleared.
-
Persistent Respins: Clearing a reel creates open spaces for new prizes to land, allowing the bonus round to continue far longer than standard industry alternatives.
-
The Path to Grand: Each cleared reel activates a “Pepper Tracker” above it. Lighting up all five trackers awards the Grand Progressive Jackpot.
Jackpot Tiers & Base Game Depth
Operators benefit from a versatile math model that supports both consistent base-game performance and high-volatility jackpot chases.
-
Progressive Jackpots: Grand and Major tiers for life-changing win potential.
-
Fixed Jackpots: Minor and Mini tiers awarded through symbols landing during features.
-
Nudge Wilds: In the base game, Wild symbols can nudge to cover entire reels, assisting in achieving the 243-way payouts.
“Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures carries forward a brand that has already made its mark in land-based venues,” says Michael Maokhamphiou, Studio Director at Lightning Box. “This release offers operators a flexible, high-performing title that combines familiarity with fresh layers of engagement.”
