PRAGMATIC PLAY STACKS UP THE EXCITEMENT WITH TIMBER STACKS
Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, is taking players to the great outdoors for a chance to build wins in Timber Stacks.
Set in a luscious meadow against a mountainous backdrop, the title presents players with symbols including bears, cougars, wolves and more upon a 5×5 grid. Timber Stacks awards a win when matching symbols land left-to-right on the matrix, with a tumble mechanic removing all winning symbols and filling empty positions from above.
Once all winning combinations are complete, the grid may randomly increase in size by adding an empty row of symbols to the bottom. A random reel is felled, with all symbols in that reel falling to the bottom row and new symbols appearing above to fill empty positions. The grid can expand up to 10×5 with this feature, offering up to 100,000 ways to win.
Players can trigger a free spins bonus round by landing at least four Scatters on a single spin. Starting with at least eight free games, the increasing grid size feature can reoccur here, acting in the same way as it does in the base game.
The free spins bonus round can also be bought for 120x the player’s original bet in select territories, triggering at least four Scatters to land on the subsequent spin.
Timber Stacks follows Sugar Supreme Powernudge and Viking Forge as the latest release to join Pragmatic Play’s expansive portfolio, showcasing the supplier’s continued commitment to delivering forward-thinking and exciting gameplay experiences embraced by players worldwide.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Timber Stacks combines vibrant visuals with the thrilling tumble mechanic and an increasing grid size feature that keeps gameplay dynamic. The free spins bonus round adds another layer of excitement and with a max multiplier win of 10,000x, plus up to 100,000 ways to win, this slot stacks up great win potential.”
Pragmatic Play currently produces up to eight new Slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through a single API.

Whyman joins RPM with a mandate to shape the credible adoption of blockchain technology within the global gaming industry, and will assist partners with a unique, high-level consultancy service that helps deliver faster routes to market using decentralised offerings and tokens.
This appointment internalises Steve Whyman’s institutional pedigree, having spent 25 years in senior trading and leadership roles with industry giants including Amundi, Aviva, and BlackRock, while he most recently served as Head of Debt Capital Markets at Fidelity International where he oversaw the $90bn fixed income primary markets portfolio and led the tokenisation of the firm’s money market fund.
With the added, potent combination of Web3 experience as founder and CEO at Fulminata Solutions, a digital capital markets boutique working with Layer-1 blockchains and prominent stablecoins, Whyman is well-positioned to translate digital finance innovations into practical gaming applications for RPM partners.
During his time at Fulminata Solutions, Whyman has established himself as a thought leader in the Web3 space with specific expertise in the Solana ecosystem. He currently serves as a Strategic Advisor to KEEL.FI, the largest allocator on Solana, and his new role will see this knowhow utilised to provide the gaming sector with a more seamless path to new business models, improved transparency, and new sustainable growth opportunities.
Richard Thorp, Founder at RPM, said: “Appointing Steve is a landmark moment for us as we take a major step forward in delivering on Web3’s promise. His background is exceptional. Blending the rigour of institutional finance and a first-rate, hands-on understanding of decentralised markets, we’re hugely confident that our partners will be able to reap the benefits of his expertise in bridging to new product and market opportunities in the space.”
Steve Whyman, RPM’s new Director of Web3 and Crypto, added: “I’m thrilled to join RPM at a pivotal time as the gaming industry moves beyond speculative Web3 trends towards implementing genuine utility. My focus will be on delivering major new value opportunities to clients in digital finance through consulting on various product improvements, such as instant settlement opportunities, smoother payment rails or executing on innovative, tokenised growth models.
“By fostering partnerships between RPM, our clients, and the leading, high-performance Layer-1 blockchains, we have a massive opportunity to build igaming-led systems that improve transparency, operational efficiency, and, critically, improve the bottom line, and working alongside Rich and the team, we’re in a strong position to genuinely lead Web3 gaming innovation from the front.”

Zenith, a leading B2B ecosystem enabler, has completed a new integration between its award-winning OneAPI and SPRIBE’s Broadway Platform.
The integration enables SPRIBE’s Broadway Platform partners to access a curated selection of providers through a single OneAPI connection, including titles from Zenith’s proprietary ALIZE Studio alongside Zenith’s portfolio of leading slot studios including PG Soft, Pragmatic Play and MarbleX.
As SPRIBE’s proprietary B2B platform, Broadway Platform manages a portfolio of more than 30 online brands and provides full-service technology and content distribution to operators worldwide, alongside an extensive sportsbook and esports offering.

This latest partnership significantly expands the distribution footprint for Zenith’s content portfolio, providing Broadway Platform operators with streamlined access to a diverse mix of high-performing slots and locally optimised content.
As part of the agreement, Broadway Platform customers will gain access to titles from Zenith’s in-house ALIZE Studio, which was recently awarded Best Localised Game Content at the SiGMA South Asia Awards. The studio’s narrative-led, market-specific games will now be available to a broader network of operators through Broadway’s Platform.
The deal represents another important step for Zenith in scaling its aggregation ecosystem across emerging markets worldwide.
Vitaliy Smoliarenko, Business Development Manager at Zenith, said: “Integrating our OneAPI with Broadway Platform opens up a significant new distribution route for both our proprietary and partner studios.
“As one of the fast-growing platforms from the world’s biggest Crash Game provider, Broadway Platform allows us to place high-performing, localised content to more operators through a single connection, marking another strong step forward for our aggregation strategy.”
Giorgi Samkharadze, Head at Broadway Platform added: “Zenith’s OneAPI gives us access to a proven aggregation ecosystem built around performance, flexibility and localisation.
