Exciting Free Games mode stars in modern-day throwback

Light & Wonder, Inc. has announced the release of Smash Nudge Skillstar, a compelling new title from specialist slot provider Lightning Box, one of Light & Wonder’s in-house studios.

Set in a futuristic roller derby arena, Smash Nudge Skillstar is a captivating 4×5 slot which showcases an enchanting Free Games round, where players are awarded up to 20 Free Games.

The Free Games round also exhibits a multiplier wheel, which multiplies any prizes up to 10x on that particular spin. A Wild Nudge also appears in this mode, as this can nudge adjacent symbols off the grid, allowing further Wild Nudge tiles to fill the reels.

To activate the Free Games feature, players must land either three, four or five Scatter symbols, with the maximum number granting 20 Free Games. Once the Free Games mode has been unlocked, Scatters can retrigger, meaning a further 20 Free Games are granted.

During the base game, the Wild Nudge operates exactly the same as in Free Games by replacing any adjacent symbol with other Wild Nudges, allowing users to collect wins as these top up the reels.

The SKILLSTAR ™feature is a play-for-fun bonus for players to enjoy and test their skills to see who can obtain the highest score on the leaderboard through dodging opposing players, oil spills and collecting gold trophies.

Smash Nudge Skillstar will be available to customers of Light & Wonder’s industry-leading OPENGAMING™ platform, alongside popular new titles such as STELLAR CASH DRAGON PALACE™ and BLOOMIN’ BUNNIES™.

This game is now available for online players, and it will initially be exclusively available to Kindred and 32 Red in Europe and UK, before being released in all markets thereafter.

Michael Maokhamphiou, Operations Manager at Lightning Box said: “Smash Nudge Skillstar is our newest hit release, and boasts a distinctive Free Games round that players can immerse themselves in.

“The aesthetics of this game are truly dazzling and this goes hand-in-hand with the thrilling gameplay that will keep players on the edge of their seats.”

Rob Procter, VP of Game Development at Light & Wonder said: “Lightning Box has delivered an epic title, one which will make a really big impact with players across the globe.

“The Free Games mode exhibits numerous ways to win some enthralling prizes and users will resonate with a modern twist on a classic feature.”

2026 Rewards AI Capability, Not AI Talk – HIPTHER Prague Summit Unveils the Next-Era HIPTHER Academy

Published

2026-rewards-ai-capability,-not-ai-talk-–-hipther-prague-summit-unveils-the-next-era-hipther-academy

HIPTHER Prague Summit proudly introduces the Hands-On HIPTHER Academy and next-gen career advancement. Because 2026 won’t reward AI Talk – It will reward AI Capability.

As the HIPTHER Prague Summit celebrates 10 years of impact across Gaming & Tech, the 2026 edition shifts the spotlight toward what truly defines the next era of professional growth: practical AI capability, personal authority, and reputational strength.

This year, HIPTHER places a powerful new emphasis on the HIPTHER Academy – the summit’s applied learning environment designed to move beyond theory and into real execution professionals can use immediately.

From AI Hype to Real-World Application

The message shaping 2026 is clear:

The future won’t reward those who talk about AI.
It will reward those who know how to use it.

Positioned as the practical layer of the summit, the HIPTHER Academy delivers:

  • 80% hands-on, applied AI workshops
  • Real operational use cases, including vibe coding, compliance automation, AI-driven workflows, and responsible implementation boundaries
  • Immediate, role-ready takeaways professionals can implement the moment they return to work

This applied focus distinctly separates HIPTHER Prague Summit from generic “AI trend” events – emphasizing execution over theory and capability over buzzwords.

Authority, Reputation & the Human Edge

Technical skill alone is no longer enough.

In an AI-accelerated landscape, positioning, leadership presence, and trust define who stands out.
That’s why the HIPTHER Academy integrates human authority and reputational growth alongside AI capability.

Featured workshops include:

  • From Profile to Authority: Positioning Your LinkedIn Presence for TrustMarija Hammond
  • Personality and High-Stakes Conversations in the WorkplaceMaria Loumpourdi
  • How to Build a Company’s ReputationMagdalena Radomska-Trzaska

Together, these sessions shape a new professional equation:

HIPTHER Academy = AI capability + personal authority + reputational strength.

Inside the 10th Anniversary Edition of HIPTHER Prague Summit

Under the theme “Decoding the Future: 10 Years of Impact,” the 2026 summit marks its most ambitious edition yet.

Taking place at OREA Hotel Andels Praha on 24–25 March 2026, the event brings together a global audience across:

iGaming, eSports, Blockchain, AI, Fintech, Compliance, Regulation

Attendees can expect eight dedicated Academy workshops delivering applied knowledge.

HIPTHER’s Co-Founder & Head of Business Zoltan Tündik, stated about this year’s HIPTHER Academy in Prague: “While 2025 was dominated by conversations about AI, 2026 is the year we are witnessing real acceleration. New developments, real projects, and genuinely useful tools being created at unprecedented speed. I recently noticed this while recording a podcast: we no longer say ‘this wasn’t possible a few years ago.’ We now say ‘this wasn’t possible a few months ago.’ That shift in language says everything about the pace of AI-driven innovation.

The market will not reward AI commentary anymore. It will reward AI capability. That’s exactly why the HIPTHER Academy focuses on practical application, giving professionals the ability to execute, not just discuss. In 2026, competitive advantage belongs to those who can apply AI confidently, responsibly, and effectively in real business environments.”

More Academy Highlights

Insightful sessions expanding the Academy’s practical scope include:

  • Branding in the Attention EconomyMarija Hammond, Brand Advisor & Speaker
  • LinkedIn as a Dealflow EngineMarie Zamecnikova, Personal Brand Strategist and Executive Advisor
  • Communications & Growth ExecutionWojciech Trzaska, Chief Communications Officer at SB Software
  • AI-Powered Marketing & PRUliana Korobeynikova, Head of Public Relations at iAffiliate

Alongside AI insights from The Playa, Murmur Intelligence, and further expert-led workshops to be announced.

The Career-Advancement Layer of Prague 2026

With the HIPTHER Academy, the Prague Summit evolves beyond a conference into a career acceleration environment — equipping professionals not just to understand the future, but to operate inside it with confidence, credibility, and authority.

Because in 2026, the real competitive edge isn’t access to AI.
It’s knowing how to apply it — and being trusted when you do.

Join the 10th Anniversary HIPTHER Prague Summit — invest in career-growth and personal authority. See you there!
