Fire takes on water in Habanero’s mythological new release Legend of Nezha

Premium slots and tables game provider, Habanero, is taking players on an Oriental adventure assisted by a Chinese warrior, in its latest slot release Legend of Nezha.
The title’s fiery protagonist Nezha takes on an evil water dragon in an oriental setting alongside other Chinese-inspired symbols that fill the board on this 5×3 reel slot. Wild symbols can appear after any spin, duplicating on a random position on the reels and helping to boost win potential by substituting all other symbols on the board.
The battle intensifies in the Free Spins round which is awarded after landing the game’s Scatter symbols. Here, the game can trigger the Locked Re-Spins feature, holding one symbol in place and spinning until a matching combination is formed.
Wilds are also present during the exciting bonus round and can retrigger up to 88 Free Spins, which helps players reach the maximum win of over 1700x their bet.
The latest Habanero slot follows on from recent hit-titles Tooty Fruity Fruits and Siren’s Spell, as the provider continues to release two new high-quality slots a month.
Commenting on the release, Toni Karapetrov, Head of Corporate Communications at Habanero, said: “Inspired by the courageous and brave Chinese mythological figure, Prince Nezha, our latest slot provides stunning graphics and an immersive theme that is heightened by an exciting bonus game where up to 88 Free Spins can be awarded.
“Our Asian-inspired titles have consistently delivered results for our partners, and we anticipate another great response to the thrilling Legend of Nezha.”
In a highly successful 12 months, Habanero has signed multiple deals with major European operators, including Betsson, Snaitech and Betway.
The studio has also further reinforced its leading position as a tier-one supplier with the consistent delivery of award-winning content, with Legends of Nezha primed to be another fan favourite.

NOVOMATIC celebrates a successful showcase at G2E Asia 2025

NOVOMATIC enjoyed a highly successful presence at this year’s G2E Asia, which was held from May 7–9 at The Venetian Macao. The company impressed visitors with a well-curated portfolio of advanced gaming solutions that are specifically tailored to the Asian market – drawing a strong attendance, excellent customer engagement, and positive feedback across the board.
Strong customer interest in next-generation product highlights
This year’s showcase focused on delivering both innovation and regional relevance, with a lineup designed to elevate the player experience and boost operator performance. One of the standout attractions was the DIAMOND X™ 1.55J QUATTRO, which returned with significant upgrades in both design and performance. The cabinet was presented with the current Linked Progressive highlights, such as XTENSION LINK™ Volume 3 and Volume 4, while the all-new XTENSION LINK™ Evolution, proved especially popular for its eye-catching presence and engaging game mechanics. The DIAMOND X™ 2.32/3.32 multi-screen version, equipped with the GAMINATOR™ X5, showcased a versatile selection of entertaining titles that are tailored for the region.
Equally well-received was the BLACK EDITION II series: The BLACK EDITION II XL 2.32/3.32 captivated operators with the highly popular IMPERA LINK™ Series 2, while the BLACK EDITION II 1.49J brought together the powerful Impera PROLINK™ and the latest addition to the game portfolio, RISING TREASURES™. Proven performers like the MASTER SL™ 2.32/3.32, which also featured GAMINATOR™ X5, rounded out the offering and demonstrated NOVOMATIC’s strength in both innovation and reliability.
Casino solutions driving future growth
Further highlights included the NOVO UNITY™ PRO, NOVOMATIC’s advanced electronic table game (ETG) platform that enables players to join up to three live games simultaneously – such as Sic Bo, Baccarat, or Roulette – on one station. Highly customizable in its setup, the system allows operators to adapt game configurations, layouts, and betting options to local preferences and regulatory requirements. Its interactivity and flexibility were praised by operators as key advantages in engaging today’s players.
The NOVOVISION™ Casino Management System also made a strong impression with its comprehensive suite of functionalities: biometric access, single-wallet capabilities, advanced player loyalty features, and much more – all of which are aimed at delivering next-level efficiency and security in casino operations.
Kenan Bajram, Deputy Director Global Sales at NOVOMATIC AG, reflected on the successful event: “G2E Asia 2025 was once again an outstanding opportunity to engage with partners from across the region and present the full scope of our technology portfolio. Asia’s land-based gaming market is as diverse as it is dynamic – each country has its own regulatory framework, technical standards, and player preferences. Our success at this year’s show confirms that NOVOMATIC is well-positioned to meet these varied demands with tailored solutions that combine innovation, reliability, and full regulatory compliance. The positive feedback we received – especially for our DIAMOND X™ and BLACK EDITION II series, as well as for the NOVO UNITY™ PRO ETG solution – reinforces our commitment to supporting our customers in key markets such as Malaysia, the Philippines, and beyond.”
