Week 41/2024 slot games releases
Here are this weeks latest slots releases compiled by European Gaming
PG Soft has released its Japanese-inspired slot, Oishi Delights. PG Soft’s Asian adventure transpires within a bright and celebratory festival atmosphere, surrounded by grand pagodas. The game sits within a 5-reel, 8-row layout featuring multipliers reaching as high as x1024.

TaDa Gaming invites players to dive deep into the underwater kingdom in Poseidon and experience a game like no other in this six rows, six reels plus bonus seventh multiplier reel slot. A treasure trove of features gives players access to Cascading Reels, Free Spins, Multipliers to 500x in the bonus game, the unique Elimination Round and 20,000x max bet win.

Nolimit City takes players back to the gritty arcades of the ’80s with their latest release, Brute Force. It’s a blast from the past, where Joshua and Jason square off against Hyper, the ruthless alien overlord hell-bent on Earth’s destruction. It’s pure arcade nostalgia, but with that signature Nolimit punch. Unlike some of Nolimit City’s more complex releases this year – Fire in the Hole 2, Loner or Kenneth Must Die. Brute Force dials it back, stripping away the complexity for a straightforward, old-school experience.

Play’n GO introduces Stepping Diamonds, the latest 5×3 sparkling addition to their diverse slot game portfolio. Stepping Diamonds invites players to enter a glamorous casino world filled with gleaming gems, classic fruit symbols, and a luxurious suite of animations.

Spinomenal has rekindled its Folktales series with the release of Fairytale Beauties 2.

Each of the heroines has their own magical Free Spins feature that will trigger with three or more full-sized scattered free spins symbols. Every time players discover three or more Free Spins symbols, they will embark on the next consecutive quest in search of riches.

Gaming Corps is excited to announce the release of Lobster Hotspot 2: Even Hotter, the sequel to the hugely popular Lobster Hotpot. This exciting and vibrant underwater adventure invites players to dive back into the ocean’s depths in search of mouth-watering lobsters and huge prizes.

Make some noise for Howling for Gold, a brand-new online slot joining Booming Games’ ever evolving wolfpack this month. From 10th October, you’ll be able to sink your teeth into this fantastic 5×4 game – and you don’t even have to wait for the full moon to appear! Set to the backdrop of aurora borealis — or the Northern Lights to you and me — you’ll take to the reels, where a single spin can trigger anything between 6 and 15 mystery symbols. They’ll then appear anywhere, transforming into the same symbol, leading to big payouts. And that’s just one of the ways you can strike gold on this sparkling slot.

Across EWC, ENC and NGSC, he will help ensure that the players who built this sport have a voice in shaping where it goes next.”
Faker said: “Competition has shaped my life, and I am proud to join the Esports Foundation as Game Ambassador. I want to continue competing for the biggest titles with T1 while representing the players and fans who have helped esports grow worldwide. Through the Esports World Cup, Esports Nations Cup and the Foundation’s wider platforms, I hope to inspire the next generation to pursue excellence, remain resilient and believe in how far competitive gaming can take them. There is still much more to achieve.”
EF highlighted Faker’s competitive record, describing him as a six-time League of Legends World Champion, EWC 2024 winner, two-time MSI champion and ten-time domestic champion with T1. The Foundation also said Faker became the first esports athlete to receive the Blue Dragon Medal in 2026, describing it as the Republic of Korea’s highest sporting honor awarded by President Lee Jae-myung.

Brand Partnerships
Midnite signs as Middlesbrough FC principal partner for 2026/27 season
Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.
The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.
Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.
Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:
“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.
“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.
“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”
Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:
“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.
“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.
“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

AGCO
ThrillTech secures AGCO supplier licence for Ontario launch
ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.
The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”
The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.
ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.
