Spinomenal releases Demi Gods V Hold & Hit
Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has expanded its successful Demi Gods series with the launch of Demi Gods V, Hold & Hit.
Players are reunited with Atlas, Selene, Helios, and Hera as they travel through ancient Greece in search of glory. Three or four Wild symbols will only pay out when they are followed by a free spins or a bonus symbol. The Wild will count as any symbol except for free spins and bonus symbols.
Three Scatter Free Spins symbols will launch the Free Spins game. In the base game, these Scattered Free Spins symbols can only be located on reels 1, 3, and 5. Three Scattered symbols will award players with three free spins that return 3x the total bet. During free spins, any symbol can appear as a colossus symbol (3×3), covering the centre of the slot across reels 2 to 4. Any scattered symbol (bonus or free spins) will only land as a colossus symbol and will trigger its feature. A Free Spins colossus symbol will award players with three more free spins and pay x3 the total bet.
The Hold & Hit feature takes this game to the next level. Six or more Scattered bonus symbols will launch the bonus game where the symbols that initiated the feature will remain locked in place for the bonus. Players will begin with three spins and once the empty spots are completed, or when the spins are finished, the game will conclude.
Every spin could see empty spots filled and award players with prizes ranging from x1 – x10 multiplier of the total bet. The Mini Jackpot – pays x25 total bet, Major Jackpot – pays x50 total bet and the Mega Jackpot – pays x250 total bet. Each time a spin has a positive result, the counter will reset the remaining spins to three. Any player who manages to complete all 15 spots will secure the Grand Jackpot and a prize of x5000 the total bet.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Our Demi Gods series grows ever stronger as we introduce new versions for players. The Hold & Hit feature heightens the gaming experience even further and we expect this game to gain plenty of attention.”

Esports and live events operator says it stayed profitable in 2025 and plans 15 arena events across 13 cities in 2026.
BLAST has opened a New York City headquarters in Brooklyn as the company reported record growth and profitability in 2025, including more than $133 million in revenue and over 40% year-over-year growth.
The new U.S. headquarters is located at 45 Main Street in Brooklyn within a shared 55,000-square-foot office space. BLAST said the hub will support partnerships, live events and commercial growth across North America as it expands its U.S. operations.
The North American push is being led by Chief Business Officer Leo Matlock, who has relocated to New York, alongside Steve Rossi, who joined earlier this year as SVP of Brand Partnerships. BLAST said its U.S. team has grown to eight full-time employees.
BLAST said it has staged seven tier-one esports events in North America over the past 16 months, across Austin, Fort Worth, Boston, Raleigh, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. The company cited “more than $102 million” in economic impact from the 2025 BLAST.tv Austin Major alone, including more than $9 million in hotel expenditures. It also recently announced the Rocket League World Championship will return to Fort Worth in September 2026.
In 2025, BLAST said its broadcasts delivered more than 2 billion live views globally and 300 million hours watched, spanning live events in 22 cities worldwide. The company also said it distributes content via 29 broadcast partners, including SuperSport, France TV and RTBF, reaching audiences in more than 150 territories and 30+ languages.
“Competitive entertainment has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in global media because it combines community, technology and live experiences in entirely new ways,” said Robbie Douek, CEO of BLAST. “The next generation of fans want entertainment that feels participatory, social and global by default. That shift is creating enormous opportunities for brands, publishers, creators and host cities, and we believe BLAST is uniquely positioned to help lead that evolution after a landmark year in 2025.” BLAST said it plans to host 15 arena events across 13 cities and three continents in 2026.
