German developer’s new fantasy-themed slot sees the national hero from the Nibelungen saga clash with a fiery dragon in a rewarding Hold & Spin feature where legendary loot is up for grabs

Having previously plundered the pyramids of ancient Egypt and raced to riches on the autobahns of present-day Germany, this month popular software provider, Apparat Gaming, invites players to follow in the footsteps of the medieval dragonslayer Siegfried in his battle with the dragon Fafnir in Dragonheart – The Nibelung Legends.

Drawing its inspiration from the epic 13th century German poem, Nibelungenlied, this action-packed slot machine with 40-win lines takes players into the first chapter of the Nibelung saga, which is peppered with legendary gold treasures, tricky dwarven kings, a tarnhelm and a story of love, deception and bloody betrayal. After the first part of Apparat Gaming’s The Nibelung Legends centred on the Valkyries, in part 2 the main character of the Nibelung saga, hero Siegfried, and the dragon Fafnir clash dramatically across the reels in the game’s lucrative Hold & Spin bonus round.

A fan-favourite feature found in many other Apparat Gaming slots, the Hold & Spin bonus is triggered whenever three-coin symbols appear during the base game. Unlike other instances of the feature, however, the Hold & Spin game in Dragon Heart – The Nibelung Legends comes with its own unique twist as special Dragon and Hero symbols combine to create even richer rewards.

Dealing with the two characters in order, the Dragon ‘payer’ symbol will breathe life into the reels by adding its stated multiplier value to all coins that are currently in play, while the Hero ‘collector’ will courageously gather up the value of all coins and add them to its own multiplier. At the end of the bonus, the sum of all coins will be multiplied by the current bet and paid out as a prize, but if players successfully fill all 20-reel spaces with coins, they’ll win the 5,000x Grand Bonus instead!

Naturally, those not wishing to wait for the Hold & Spin bonus to trigger automatically from the base game will once again have the option to enter it directly by using the “Buy Feature” button, with this optional extra creating a medium-high volatility slot with maximum RTP potential of 96%.

Martin Frindt, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Apparat Gaming, said: “In Dragon Heart – The Nibelung Legends, the courage of a hero collides with the might of a dragon to create a new multiplier twist on our beloved Hold & Spin feature that now has the power to award monumental wins of up to 5,000x! This huge payout potential combined with the game’s stunning visuals and fantasy theme mean it’s sure to be an epic addition at all casinos that host Apparat Gaming slots.”

GoldenRace has launched its next-generation V5 mobile solution, the supplier announced on 1 July 2026 in Malta. The company positions the release as a mobile delivery upgrade for its virtual sports and betting content, aimed at maintaining performance under high player traffic.

According to GoldenRace, V5 consolidates its previous architecture into a single application and “drastically reduces load sizes by 80–90%.” The company also said the platform is built “completely from the ground up” with a unified UI/UX designed to remain responsive across different network conditions.

On product features, GoldenRace said V5 introduces “advanced WebGL capabilities” to support high-fidelity graphics and operator-controlled branding. It also adds native gamification tools across games, including custom Tournaments, Leaderboards and Free Bets.

The company also outlined three mobile upgrades intended to reduce friction in the betting flow: a Lobby with modular layouts and a one-click toggle between scheduled and instant views; a next-generation Betslip with richer visual components and “smart organisation”; and dynamic Leaderboards with configurable funding and custom point logic.

GoldenRace said operators can switch to V5 by “changing a single line of code,” and added that a demo is available for operators evaluating the new mobile solution.

Replay tool builds on St8’s graphical game round details and launches first with nine casino game studios.

St8 has launched game round replays, adding visual playback of completed casino game rounds to its existing single API platform. The company said the feature is designed to help operators verify outcomes faster and resolve player queries more efficiently.

The new capability builds on St8’s graphical game round details, which it said is already used by operators. With replays, support and operations teams can access a round’s visual playback to investigate gameplay disputes and respond to players with more transparency.

St8 also positioned the feature as a player engagement tool, with operators able to surface notable moments such as big wins and bonus rounds for promotional use.

Game round replays will initially support titles from AvatarUX, BGaming, Endorphina, Hacksaw, Peter & Sons, Pragmatic Play, Scatter Kings, Shady Lady, and Tequity Originals, with more providers to be added. St8 said the feature is delivered through its existing single API integration and requires no additional development work, and is intended to scale across multiple brands and regulated markets.

David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said: “Operators are under increasing pressure to deliver exceptional customer support while keeping operational costs under control. Our graphical game round details have become a trusted and widely used tool for operators, giving support teams quick access to the information they need to resolve player queries efficiently. Game round replays complement this capability by providing a visual playback of each round, helping teams resolve cases even faster and with complete confidence.

“Beyond operational efficiency, the feature also opens up new opportunities for engagement. Operators can showcase exciting gameplay moments, celebrate big wins and create richer player experiences – all through the same integration. Because game round replays are delivered through our existing single API, partners can access this functionality immediately while continuing to benefit from the simplicity and scalability that sit at the heart of the St8 platform.”
