Apparat Gaming regale players with an epic tale of might and magic in Dragonheart – The Nibelung Legends
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.”

Altenar rolls out World Cup Lobby event hub for sportsbook operators
Altenar has launched a dedicated World Cup Lobby designed to help sportsbook operators package World Cup content in a single event hub during this summer’s tournament.
The company said the lobby is built for high-traffic periods, with a curated destination where operators can surface relevant markets, statistics, promotions and betting opportunities in one place. Altenar pointed to a “record 104 matches” across 16 cities as the context for simplifying tournament discovery and navigation.
The World Cup Lobby combines Altenar’s sportsbook with widgets and navigation built for major tournaments. Altenar said interactive team and player carousels surface BetCards, markets and promotions via swipeable feeds, with team and player pages providing access to statistics and related betting opportunities.
Other features include integrated standings, knockout trees and outright markets, aiming to keep users moving between matches, teams, players and selections without switching across multiple pages. Altenar said operators can localise the lobby by prioritising teams, competitions and markets for regional audiences, and use player behaviour to surface personalised recommendations.
Nikos Zygouris, Head of Sportsbook Product at Altenar, said: “Major tournaments such as this year’s World Cup create huge engagement and our goal with the new lobby is to build an environment where players can explore everything around the competition in one place.
“The World Cup Lobby brings together markets, statistics, teams and personalised recommendations into a single experience, helping operators to deliver a more intuitive and engaging sportsbook during the biggest moments in the sporting calendar.”
