Games Global and Triple Edge Studios™ unveil Devilish Fortunes™
Striking a deal with the devilishly charming Lucky can result in big rewards
Triple Edge Studios™, a Games Global exclusive studio, has unleashed its latest release Devilish Fortunes™, set in the red-hot underworld where stacked wilds, free spins, and Rising Rewards™ jackpots await.
Lucky is the game’s main character and his flame-haired appearance provides a striking visual throughout the game. Sitting in a boss chair, dressed in a sharp suit, and sipping on a fiery substance, he watches intently as players look to crack one of the 720 ways to win.
Perfectly complementing the captivating graphics is an energetic jazz tune, which is befitting of the fun, engaging nature of the game, as Triple Edge Studios™ has worked tirelessly to ensure all elements maximise enjoyment.
Every spin ignites the potential for blazing combinations with the unique diamond shaped array of reels that pays both ways. Coins landing on the reels collect to Lucky’s golden cauldron and boost one of five Rising Rewards™ jackpots above each reel.
When a jackpot trigger symbol lands, there is a chance to activate Lucky’s Jackpot Wheel. Players are granted one spin on the wheel, which consists of different-coloured segments, each assigned to one of the jackpots where an award of one of the sinfully coveted Rising Rewards™ jackpots is guaranteed.
Free spins and the free spins multiplier can be triggered by spelling L-U-C-K-Y from stacked scatter symbols on the reels, with more scatters offering a fiery boost of up to 19 extra free spins and an additional 5x free spins multiplier.
Triple Edge Studios™ continues to create blockbuster content which reflects the ingenuity and creative drive of the brand, with its ongoing commitment to delivering high-energy titles resonating with players.
Devilish Fortunes™ is the studio’s latest captivating game, following iconic slots Fire and Roses Joker™, Lara Croft® Tomb of the Sun™, and Ancient Fortunes Poseidon Megaways™ enjoying huge success throughout the industry.
With ICE London 2024 in full swing at the ExCeL, Triple Edge Studios™ is showcasing its content portfolio alongside other Games Global exclusive studios at stand N5-120, as well as on the iGaming supplier’s exclusive-access ‘Studio Boulevard’ aboard the Sunborn Yacht Hotel.
Alex Monsma, Senior Business Development Manager at Triple Edge Studios, said: “We are excited to unleash Lucky and his devilish ways on our audiences, reigniting our thrilling Rising Rewards™ jackpots in a fiery new gaming realm. Elevating the experience is the unique Devil’s Jackpot Wheel bonus, which offers the chance to win one of five guaranteed jackpots. The graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay of Devilish Fortunes™ create a compelling journey that players will find themselves immersed in, combining excitement and reward in a devilishly fun way.”
Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “The hits just keep coming in 2024 and Devilish Fortunes™ promises to be a worthy addition to our impressive portfolio. Triple Edge Studios™ is a studio that is going from strength-to strength, regularly producing imaginative content. We are certain players will thoroughly enjoy acquainting themselves with Lucky as they go in search of those big wins.”

GamCare releases Annual Report following record breaking year of support on the National Gambling Helpline
GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.
In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.
Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.
In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.
GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.
Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.
“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.
“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
