Mystical symbols unlock the power of chi in Evoplay’s latest release Jhana of God
Awarding-winning game development studio Evoplay is transporting players to an ancient civilization in its newest slot, Jhana of God.
Inviting players to harness the power of sacred animals, the game’s high-paying symbols are made up of turtles, fish, elephants, and tiger symbols with flower Wilds also present, making it easier for players to form harmonious combinations to award a win.
Adding to the allure, two different coloured Hamsa Bonus symbols can appear, with silver granting two Free Spins and gold awarding three Free Spins, with three or more symbols needed in total to trigger the Bonus Round.
In the Free Spins game, a Super High symbol helps unravel the secret of Jhana by offering lucrative win potential. These symbols are also collected in the Spirit Orb that runs alongside the game, as they replace high-paying symbols as well as awarding an additional spin for every ten collected.
Allowing players more control over their gaming experience, Jhana of God also comes in the popular Bonus Buy format in certain jurisdictions, empowering players to directly purchase either six, ten or twelve Free Spins.
Evoplay’s latest Asian-inspired comes hot on the heels of recently released hit titles Thunder Mega Sevens and Elven Princesses Crown Quest as the provider continues to refresh its portfolio with new titles.
Commenting on the launch, Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Jhana of God takes players on an ethereal journey where the ancient symbols unlock the key to good fortune, boosted by a special Super High symbol in the bonus round. Players who are fans of a higher volatile experience can purchase Free Spins directly, thanks to our Bonus Buy version, providing solutions to our partners for all gamer preferences.”
As well as going live with multiple tier-one providers, including Bragg Gaming, Fortuna Entertainment Group and Relax Gaming, Evoplay has been shortlisted in seven categories at this year’s SBC Awards.
In addition, at EGR’s 2023 B2B Awards, Evoplay secured the Innovation in Mobile award, a testament to Evoplay’s reputation as one of the industry’s most exciting suppliers.

QTech Games wins Leader in Online Casino at SBEA+ Eventus Awards 2026
QTech Games has won the Leader in Online Casino award at the Annual Sports Betting East Africa (SBEA+) 2026 Summit in Nairobi, Kenya.
The company said it beat other shortlisted suppliers including SA Gaming, BetConstruct, and DST Gaming. The award is described by the event as recognising the “top all-round online casino platform for innovation, user engagement, and sustained growth” over the past year.
The SBEA+ Eventus Awards focus on the East African igaming and sports betting sector and were presented at a gala ceremony at the Argyle Grand Hotel. QTech Games said the judging period covered 2025/26 and that its aggregation platform performance was ranked highest by the panel.
QTech Games CEO Philip Doftvik said: “We’re thrilled to have walked off with another notable award for the best overall online-casino-platform provision in East Africa. Being shortlisted in such good company was already a result, but victory provides the real validation, particularly after running a great campaign at recent Eventus events in Africa. We’ve been promoting QTech Hybrid, our breakthrough retail solution, to great effect and it’s been fantastic to see that going live with a handful of top-tier clients on this continent has led to such overwhelmingly positive feedback and immediate success cases in the realm of genuine innovation.
“This win is testimony to our diligent team at QTech Games, and to the constantly growing group of innovative suppliers that our platform represents. It’s a truly collaborative effort. We remain committed to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our worldwide partners across Africa and beyond. After all, in today’s marketplace, only premium games of the highest standard will separate you from the crowd, so we were delighted to see the panel acknowledge how our premier platform is delivering across Africa’s eclectic ecosystem. We’ve made our name as the pre-eminent aggregator in these evolving margin markets, delivering localised games that speak to a host of player proclivities. This award win will spur us on to new horizons.”

Evoplay adds 24 slot titles to Oleybet in Brazil deal
Evoplay has signed a content partnership with Brazilian operator Oleybet to distribute 24 slot titles on the brand’s online casino in Brazil’s regulated market.
Oleybet is operated by Lindau Gaming S.A. in Brazil and offers sportsbook, online casino and live casino products. The rollout focuses on Evoplay’s slot portfolio, with the supplier saying the content is intended to support Oleybet’s casino expansion.
The integration is delivered through Sportingtech’s platform, which the companies said is intended to support a streamlined rollout and operational efficiency as Oleybet scales its games catalogue.
Alex Malchenko, Head of Sales at Evoplay, said: “Brazil remains a key focus for Evoplay, and partnering with Oleybet is another key strategic move in strengthening our presence in this dynamic market.
“Our portfolio is designed to deliver strong engagement across diverse player demographics, and we’re confident our games will resonate well with Oleybet’s audience as they continue to grow their offering.”
Robson Salvador, Ombudsman Director at Lindau, added: “We are very pleased to partner with Evoplay, a provider known for innovation and high-quality gaming experiences.
“This collaboration reinforces Oleybet’s commitment to offering a diverse and engaging portfolio to Brazilian players, always aligned with the highest standards of compliance and responsible gaming.

GoldenRace brings In-Shop Mobile and virtual sports to iGaming Afrika Summit
GoldenRace will exhibit its virtual sports portfolio and mobile betting technology at the iGaming Afrika Summit in Nairobi, running 4 to 6 May. The supplier said it will present market-specific content for East Africa at Stand C09.
A key focus will be GoldenRace’s In-Shop Mobile product, which the company positions as a way for operators to offer “high-speed, digital betting experiences” on customers’ own devices while they are in a retail shop.
The stand will also feature GoldenRace content across multiple verticals, including Virtual Football, Dog Racing, and the number-draw game Spin2Win, alongside newer titles JetEscape and Arcade Heist. GoldenRace will also present the Spinmatic slot catalogue, which it said is mobile-optimised.
GoldenRace said the retail-plus-mobile approach is aimed at lowering overhead for land-based operators by supporting higher player volumes without adding hardware at the same rate. “Our goal at the iGaming Afrika Summit is to demonstrate how global technological standards can be applied to meet the specific needs of African operators,” said Martin Wachter, GoldenRace CEO & Founder. “From our In-Shop Mobile technology to our virtual sports portfolio, we provide the tools necessary for security, scalability and engagement.”
