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.”

Dive deep into mysterious waters and summon big wins in Stakelogic’s thrilling new title

Multiplier symbols can land on any spin, and their value ranges from 2x to 1,000x. Multipliers can combine, offering mouth-watering winning prospects with grand total Multiplier values.
Keep alert for Posiedon, who makes his presence felt on the reels as a bonus symbol. The Free Spins bonus is triggered when four or more of these bonus symbols hit anywhere on the grid. During the round, Multiplier symbols are collected progressively and multiply the total win.
Poseidon would be nothing without his all-powerful Trident, which appears as a special symbol in the game. Each time a Trident Symbol appears, it wields the power to transform selected symbols depending on its level, paving the way for some of the biggest wins in the game.
As a Stakelogic slot, the game comes equipped with the Super Stake feature, allowing players to play with a bigger stake for an increased chance to trigger the bonus rounds. They can also skip the queue and buy their way into the bonus rounds for 100x their bet.
James Jelliffe, Head of Game Design at Stakelogic, said: “Poseidon, like many of the Greek Gods, has a special place in the heart of slot players, and with Trident of Legends, we have put an innovative new spin on the all-powerful God.
Players have certain expectations when they play a Greek-themed slot, and we want to blow those expectations out of the water. With Trident of Legends, we have combined a familiar theme with innovative gameplay mechanics and creative features to offer a Poseidon-themed slice of action unlike anything else on the market.”

ICONIC21 and Sweepium strengthen sweeps partnership
In-demand live casino provider deepens sweepstakes market reach through multi-brand launch with leading platform provider and content aggregator
ICONIC21, the provider of premium live casino content, has strengthened its position in the fast-growing sweepstakes space by enhancing its partnership with leading B2B platform provider and content aggregator, Sweepium.
ICONIC21 and Sweepium first joined forces back in October with its content going live with a small number of its brands in the US market. The deal has been extended so that even more of Sweepium’s US operator partners can access its sweepstakes-ready live casino products.
The partnership cements ICONIC21’s position as the preferred provider for sweepstakes brands and builds on its market-leading position in the real-money sector. Both markets are riding a steep upward growth trajectory right now but with sweepstakes really taking the industry by storm.
ICONIC21 is in the driving seat to capitalise on this growth through partnerships such as this with Sweepium. Its live content, which covers a wide range of formats including Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Sic Bo, The Kickoff and Crash Live, has been developed for both real money and sweeps play.
The provider is an innovator, bringing new player experiences to market such as its Gravity Series and Grand Bonus Baccarat. Crash Live is also the first live crash game to feature a host, bringing never-seen-before interaction and entertainment to the experience.
Content is streamed out of modern studios with sleek backdrops where the latest video, audio and broadcast technologies are used to provide a premium product and player experience at all times.
Alina Mihaela Popa, Chief Commercial Officer at ICONIC21, said: “Sweepstakes are sweeping across the US market and beyond and operators want to offer their players the best content in the business.
“This extended deal with Sweepium does just that with its partners able to access our full portfolio of premium, sweepstakes-ready live content – content that has proven to hit the market with players across the globe.
“This is a fast-growing part of the industry and at ICONIC21, we believe we are in a position to capitalise on this by helping operators deliver the experiences players are seeking.”
Daniel Mitton, Co-founder and Chief Business Development Officer at Sweepium, added: “The rise of sweepstakes casinos has been nothing short of meteoric and at Sweepium, we are committed to offering the platform and content portfolio to our partners.
“Live content is hugely popular at sweepstakes casinos and in ICONIC21, we have a partner that knows how to produce content and experiences that exceed player expectations. We’ve already seen how well its content performs and now look forward to seeing it launch with more of our partners.”

KSA Partners with UK’s Gamban to Offer Gambling Blocking Software
Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), the Gambling Authority of the Netherlands, has agreed to fund a pilot project to make Gamban’s blocking software available to players in the Netherlands.
Anyone in the Netherlands can obtain a free one-year Gamban subscription by contacting Loket Kansspel, the country’s national gambling support service.
Users will then gain access to the recently released Dutch version of the app, which blocks access to all online gambling websites and apps across all their devices.
Gamban will also assist the Dutch regulator in detecting unregulated gambling sites as part of the KSA’s renewed efforts to clamp down on the black market.
“At present, KSA offers players struggling with their gambling behaviour the option to self-exclude through Cruks. However, Cruks pertains only to operators holding a licence in the Netherlands. Gamban gives players the opportunity to also block access to illegal gambling websites,” said Thomas Borghois, the KSA’s addiction prevention fund advisor.
“When used together, Cruks and Gamban provide players a perspective on recovery. Teaming up with Loket Kansspel for the distribution of Gamban subscriptions was a logical choice for us, given that they are the first point of contact for players looking for an independent, judgement-free talk about the gambling issues facing them.”
Nathalie Smit, director at Loket Kansspel, commented: “At Loket Kansspel, we believe that taking control of your online environment is crucial for breaking free from gambling addiction. By partnering with Gamban, we’re empowering individuals to stay in control and manage their gambling behaviour. We are excited to provide people with free access to gambling blocking software.”
Matt Zarb-Cousin, co-founder of Gamban, added: “Having a self-exclusion scheme in place can lead to the unintended consequence of leaving the most vulnerable individuals exposed to black market operators. Layering up blocking software with self-exclusion ensures that devices are unable to access gambling sites and apps, whether regulated or unregulated.
“We always recommend using other barriers in addition to gambling-blocking software, such as self-exclusion. The friction these offer give the individual a chance to think between urge and action.
“During this time, they can ride out their urge or think again before acting on temptation. In a world where the lure of immediate gratification through digital activity is increasingly tempting, we want to help people regain control and balance – and by using Gamban, they can do that.”
