Chase bandits and big wins in Wanted: Unusual Suspects™
Northern Lights Gaming launches latest title in its Unusual Suspect series with players taken to the Wild West for a gun-slinging showdown with the baddest baddies around
Step into the dusty streets of the Old West where lawlessness reigns and the hunt for Wanted Unusual Suspects™ begins.
The latest slot of the same name from Northern Lights Gaming, an exclusive Games Global studio, is the next in the developer’s Unusual Suspects franchise and sees players assume the role of the fearless sheriff who must uphold justice and bring the notorious outlaws to heel.
With each spin, players hunt down the bandits and get closer to the bounty they have stolen. This takes the form of Gold Coins that leave behind Sticky Wild Frames once the Sheriff symbol, which is Wild, has landed to collect the stolen money (Gold Coins) and take it back to the back.
Apprehended outlaws find themselves in jail where they line up for the Perk Pick which allows players to modify Free Spins. Free Spins are triggered when three, four or five Scatters drop – players are first taken to the jail where five suspects are lined up in front of them.
Players must then pick a suspect, with each revealing a different Free Spins Upgrade Perk. If they have filled the Perk Pick Meter in the base game, the suitcase becomes active and an extra Perk is awarded.
The Free Games then play out. Sticky Frames remain sticky for the duration while every Sheriff symbol that lands moves one position up the feature upgrade trail. When each outlaw is captured, the player receives a Multiplier and more Spins.
Of course, all Perks from the mini-game are active throughout Free Spins.
But that’s just the start of the gun-slinging bonus action…
Exploding Wilds trigger randomly when Outlaw symbols land. As the name suggests, they explode to populate the reels with multiple Wilds for even more win potential.
If players don’t want to spend too much time on the trail of the bandits, they have the option to Buy the Bonus with the option to purchase Free Spins or enhanced Super Free Spins.
Andrew Goodale CEO at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “Wanted: Unusual Suspects™ is the latest title in our hugely popular Unusual Suspects franchise. This time, players find themselves in the Wild West where they must join the Sheriff as he hunts down outlaws and reclaim the bounties they have stolen.
“For those that can hold their nerve, ride strong and shoot straight, there are plenty of rewards up for grabs, helped of course by the game’s bonus features including Coins, Sticky Wild Frames, Multipliers and Free Spins.
“Wanted: Unusual Suspects™ is an action-packed slot and will appeal to fans of the series as well as those who love nothing more than spinning the wheels on a Western-themed game.”

SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with over 15 years of expertise in iGaming, supports the global Pink October initiative to attract attention to preventing breast cancer.
This year’s Pink October campaign at SOFTSWISS is themed “A Minute Today, a Future Ahead” and emphasises the importance of early detection and preventative care. Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women, and early diagnosis is key in the fight against the disease. When it is noticed early, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.
Early detection involves doing monthly breast self-exams and planning regular clinical breast exams and mammograms. Half of the 2,000 SOFTSWISS employees are women, and the company will refund each of them for ultrasounds and mammograms in October and November.
Pink October at SOFTSWISS offers a wide range of activities throughout the month. In addition to reimbursing for medical examinations, an online webinar on mental health will provide valuable insights for those who face the disease. To support the international charity movement “Butterfly Support Mission”, women from SOFTSWISS will take part in a themed race.
The company’s employees also personally support the initiative. To further raise awareness, prominent female influencers from the SOFTSWISS community share information about the campaign across social media, amplifying the message of self-care and vigilance.
“Health is a crucial value beyond everything. Here, at SOFTSWISS, we aim to help and support our employees’ well-being and health every day. By promoting the Pink October initiative, we want to stress the importance of well-timed self-care and make this issue visible both within the iGaming industry and beyond,” shares Chief Marketing Officer at SOFTSWISS, Valentina Bagniya.
Notably, the iGaming industry recognised SOFTSWISS’ strong dedication to ensuring the best working conditions for its employees. A few weeks ago, SOFTSWISS received the esteemed accolade “Employer of the Year” at the SBC Awards.
Supporting the Pink October initiative for the second year in a row, SOFTSWISS continues to lead by example, emphasising the importance of preventive health measures and community support. Through this initiative, the company hopes to inspire its employees and society to take action today for a healthier tomorrow.

Kambi Group plc signs first major odds feed partnership with leading US operator Hard Rock Digital
Operator’s Hard Rock Bet brand to leverage Kambi’s new Odds Feed+ product, marking a significant milestone in Kambi’s modularisation strategy
Kambi Group plc (“Kambi”), the world’s trusted sports betting partner, has entered into a landmark agreement with Hard Rock Digital, one of the leading sports betting operators in the US, to deliver its new cutting-edge Odds Feed+ solution to the operator’s multi-state Hard Rock Bet brand which is available in eight US states including Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia.
The partnership will see Kambi provide Hard Rock Bet with its comprehensive suite of odds across both pre-match and live betting, with odds uniquely benefitting from the power of Kambi’s leading turnkey sportsbook, as well as Kambi’s AI trading division Tzeract. Hard Rock Bet is expected to launch with Kambi’s Odds Feed+ in Q4 2024.
Kambi’s full library of odds are delivered through a single API integration, giving operators the ability to create their own bespoke Odds Feed+ package, with the freedom to revise on demand. Hard Rock Bet will initially offer a selection of Kambi’s global sports odds, however, the flexibility of Kambi’s single API odds feed provides Hard Rock Bet the ability to add additional international or US sports as required.
As Kambi’s first major Odds Feed+ partnership, the collaboration with Hard Rock Digital marks a significant milestone in Kambi’s long-term strategy. The partnership has great potential to become a significant source of revenue for Kambi, subject to the scope of additional services taken by Hard Rock Digital over the coming years.
Werner Becher, Kambi CEO, said: “This Odds Feed+ partnership with Hard Rock Digital represents another important step forward for Kambi. The deal builds on the strategy Kambi set out 18 months ago to leverage our position as the world’s leading sportsbook provider with the offer of standalone products that uniquely benefit from our turnkey sportsbook. Hard Rock is one of the leading sportsbook operators in the US and precisely the kind of prestigious partner we were targeting as part of this modularisation approach.”
Matt Primeaux, Executive Managing Director & President of Hard Rock Digital, added: “The addition of Kambi’s odds feed will provide us with a greater range of betting options and more flexibility, while still allowing our team to maintain control of our core product. We’re excited to partner with Kambi and create more unique experiences for players on our top-rated platform.”
