Apparat Gaming gets fruity with Sticky Star Fruits
Developer’s latest game is bursting with juicy features including Free Spins and Sticky Wilds
Apparat Gaming, the developer of slots that are distinctly German, is promising juicy wins with the latest slot to leave its production line, Sticky Star Fruits.
As the name suggests, this game is all about fruit and especially the most exotic in the world of juicy delights, the Stick Star Fruit which helps in landing explosive win combinations to hit the max win potential of 4,500x.
Players must savour the flavour in this 5×3 reel, 10 payline slot bursting with Free Spins, Sticky Wilds and much, much more. As the reels spin, sticky fruit juicy trickles down over melons, lemons and the all-important star fruit.
This really is a fruit-filled spectacle with players able to trigger up to ten Free Spins when three Scatter symbols land during the base game.
While the Free Spins play out, players will want to keep their eyes peeled for the Star Fruit symbols as these are Sticky Wilds and lock into place for added big-win potential.
Players also have the option to buy the bonus for 70x their stake. This means they can juice up their gameplay straight away without having to wait for the Free Spins to trigger in the base game.
As with all Apparat Gaming slots, Sticky Star Fruits has been created with the studio’s German approach to development.
This means the game meets the highest engineering standards, has bold and striking artwork and is delivered with no sense of humour whatsoever.
It has been certified for launch in core regulated markets including Denmark, the Netherlands, Greece, Italy, the Isle of Man, Malta, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and of course Germany.
Martin Frindt, co-founder, and Chief Product Officer at Apparat Gaming said: “Fruit slots are an absolute blast and in Sticky Star Fruits we deliver explosive big win action through Free Spins and Sticky Wilds.
“This is a bold, bright fruit slot that will stand out in any operator game lobby, drawing players to the fruit-filled spectacle they can experience when they fire up the reels for the first time.
“The gameplay is volatile, but this adds to the anticipation of a fruit frenzy occurring with each spin which we know makes for a fruit-lover’s paradise.
“As always, Sticky Star Fruits has been developed with a German accent, an approach that has seen our games be a hit in our home market of Germany and beyond.”
BOYLE Sports
BOYLE Sports deploys automated acca technology as bookmakers accelerate shift to pre-configured betting
BOYLE Sports has become the latest major bookmaker to deploy automated accumulator technology, following a new two-year agreement with Checkd Dev that will see the operator roll out pre-configured, one-click acca products across football and horse racing.
The partnership sees BOYLE Sports integrate Checkd Dev’s Automated Betting System (ABS) into its sportsbook, enabling the automated creation and presentation of pre-match football and UK and Irish horse racing accumulator bets. The deployment forms part of a broader update to BOYLE Sports’ betting proposition, aimed at delivering scalable, consistent acca products while retaining full control over pricing and risk.
Through the integration, BOYLE Sports has launched two carousels containing packaged accumulator bets, generated using predefined logic and historical performance data. All pricing remains aligned with BOYLE Sports’ internal trading models, with probabilities informed by historic form rather than external odds feeds.
From an operational standpoint, ABS provides BOYLE Sports’ trading team with backend tooling to automate bet creation, updates, and settlement, significantly reducing manual intervention while supporting a consistent pre-match offering across key markets. The solution also integrates BOYLE Sports’ existing Acca Boost mechanics, available to customers from launch.
ABS is built on Checkd Dev’s proprietary BRUNO platform and has evolved over a two-year development cycle. Initially designed as a statistics-led conversion tool, the system has expanded into a fully automated betting solution in response to growing operator demand for scalable, pre-configured wagering products within regulated markets. The product is integrated with the operator’s front end and bet slip, resulting in a frictionless experience for end users.
The BOYLE Sports deployment follows a series of recent commercial agreements for Checkd Dev, including partnerships with Betfred, William Hill, and OpenBet. Collectively, these integrations reflect a wider trend among established bookmakers toward automation-led betting products designed to improve efficiency, consistency, and user experience across football betting.
Adam Matues, Head of Sportsbook at BOYLE Sports, commented: “Pre-configured accas continue to play an important role in how customers engage with football and racing, but they need to be delivered in a way that is both scalable and commercially robust. Checkd Dev’s automated approach allows us to expand our acca offering efficiently, while maintaining full control over pricing, performance, and risk.”
Andrew Grimshaw, Commercial Director at Checkd Dev, added: “We’re seeing increasing demand from tier-one and tier-two operators for automated betting products that enhance UX while remaining fully aligned with existing trading frameworks. BOYLE Sports’ decision to deploy our ABS reflects that shift, and we’re looking forward to supporting the team on both sports as the product scales over the coming seasons.”

SlotMatrix Unleashes Fiesta-Fueled Thrills with Muertos Fortune
SlotMatrix, the leading global casino content aggregator, has incorporated Muertos Fortune into its unique collection, a vibrant slot drawing inspiration from the lively energy and festivities of Day of the Dead customs.
Muertos Fortune welcomes players to a vibrant realm filled with music and color, where each spin leads to grander moments and more exciting rewards.
The Money Collector function centers on the Muertos symbol that shows up on reel five, serving as the chief collector by retrieving cash values from piñata prizes positioned throughout the reels to enhance winnings and enable extra rewards.
A significant feature of the gameplay is its Perceived Persistence mechanic, enabling piñata rewards that fall uncollected to fill the giant skull above the reels.
As the skull fills up, it explodes, activating the Free Spins feature filled with Muertos’ collections, greater piñata values, and opportunities for several retriggers, transforming growing excitement into massive payout possibilities.
Muertos Fortune can only be accessed via SlotMatrix and is upgraded by EveryMatrix’s sophisticated gamification features, such as free spins, tournaments, and leaderboards. It can additionally be combined with EngageSuite, the all-in-one player loyalty solution.
Carl Gatt Baldacchino, Head of Account Management, SlotMatrix, said: “Muertos Fortune is all about the renowned Mexican tradition. It’s a vibrant, high-energy title that fits perfectly in our growing portfolio.”
