BGAMING RELEASES FESTIVE BUNDLE OF SLOTS AHEAD OF CHRISTMAS PERIOD
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is set to spread Christmas cheer with a Santa’s sack full of new slots. It’s four festive releases, Gift X, Slot Machine X-mas Edition, Ice Scratch and Gemza X-Mas Edition, promise continued thrills throughout December.
Crash game Gift X tests players’ nerves as they watch Santa load up his sleigh with presents and race across the sky, dropping gifts as he goes. They must cash out before the jolly St. Nick and his reindeer crash back to earth in order to win.
To kick-start the Christmas spirit, Gift X is released on December 1 and offers players the chance to place two bets per round, giving them two chances to guess when the crash will take place and boost their winnings. The 97% RTP casual game also includes auto-play, so players can automate their play and be in with the chance of winning up to a €250,000 maximum win.
Slot Machine X-mas Edition embraces the nostalgia of vintage slot machines, inviting players to pull the lever and spin the three reels, revealing classic casino symbols. In this very-high volatility red and gold slot, three Bonus symbols become sticky and trigger the Bonus Game, with the potential for three respins. Released on December 7, each new coin in this game resets the round and the more coins awarded, the higher the multiplier, ranging from x3 to a max multiplier of x2024.
The third release of the season is the Ice Scratch pack, out on December 14, which features a trio of scratch games in which frozen cards with different bet values give players the chance to bag up to a x100,000 max win. The very-high volatility game with 90% RTP features nine concealed cells to scratch off, either manually or in autoplay mode, and uncover hidden values. Match three for an instant win. Gold, Silver and Bronze games offer atmospheric gameplay, with a cosy fireplace crackling and a warm winter glow.
Adding an injection of luxury into the line-up from December 15, Gemza X-Mas Edition combines popular Bonanza mechanics with an additional reel for extra wins and 97.17% RTP. The bejewelled high-volatility release takes players through a magical kingdom, where gnomes mine precious stones while fighting to avoid a fearsome fire-breathing dragon.
Players who are brave enough can test their luck in the Free Spins round and spin the additional reel beneath the main field for extra wins. Golden Key Multipliers also activate in the Bonus Game, unearthing four old chests full of diamonds. Like Gift X, this frozen land also offers a €250,000 maximum win.
Yulia Aliakseyeva, Co-CPO at BGaming, said: “This year, we have gone all out with our dazzling seasonal line-up – offering four truly creative and well-designed games for our players.
“Gift X, our thrilling crash game, features the loveable Santa Claus as its main star and a multi-bet option, while Slot Machine X-mas Edition is sure to evoke wholesome memories of the bygone Christmases. Of course, Ice Scratch is another genre we know is hugely popular with players, offering a trio of scratch card options and atmospheric graphics, while Gemza X-Mas Edition features the energetic Bonanza mechanic and an additional reel, to add further festive magic.”
The set of festive Christmas slots is now available for players of LevelUp Casino.

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus
DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.
The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.
If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.
Google-style campus for game development talents
The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.
It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.
“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.
What does this mean for the market?
Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.
If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.
And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.
The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.
PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.

”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.
OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.
“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
