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.”

SoftConstruct unveils RecSys AI game recommendation system at AIBC Eurasia
In an iGaming Real Talk interview in Dubai, the firm says the tool reads player emotion and context to guide operator actions.
SoftConstruct AI has unveiled RecSys, an AI Game Recommendation System, during an exclusive iGaming Real Talk interview recorded at AIBC Eurasia in Dubai on Thursday 30th April.
Mushegh Khachatryan, Chief AI Officer at SoftConstruct AI, said RecSys is designed to move beyond traditional recommendation models by interpreting player emotions in real time and accounting for context, with the goal of suggesting “the next best action” for operators. “You can understand your customer’s emotions in real time and suggest the next best action. We are building intelligent systems which can reason and act.”
Khachatryan said SoftConstruct built an AI Center of Excellence by hiring talent from outside the iGaming sector, and described RecSys as part of “production-ready agentic AI” intended to support personalised campaigns and decision automation. Surya Palli, host of iGaming Real Talk, said: “SoftConstruct is essentially building a Netflix-style personalised experience for the iGaming industry, where every player gets a lobby made just for them.”
Responsible gaming was also discussed, with the company claiming AI can detect risky behaviour faster and more consistently than human teams, and recommend timely breaks while balancing player protection with sustainable growth.
Khachatryan also stressed the need for explainable, controlled deployment. “AI should help teams perform five times better rather than replace them… Without proper boundaries, short-term momentum boosts with AI can actually hurt your company in the long term.” The company said operators can manage campaigns, personalisation and risk through chat interfaces, with at least 85% accuracy “from the first interactions,” and directed viewers to the full interview on the iGaming Real Talk YouTube channel.
