Playson, the accomplished digital entertainment supplier, is embarking on a mouthwatering adventure in 25 Cookies: Hit the Bonus™, with delectable Bonus Games, lavish multipliers, jackpots and the Hit the Bonus series’ largest-ever 5×5 game field.

A wholesome festive backdrop sets the scene for the engaging Bonus Game, which can be triggered by landing five symbols on the middle row, with a stocking’s worth of rewards ready to unwrap. The Sticky Bonus symbol can appear randomly on the reels during the Main Game and remains until the Bonus Game is triggered.

At the start of each Bonus Game, three re-spins are granted, with each new icon resetting the number of spins to three. This continues until all cells are filled or the player runs out of respins. The Bonus Game is further enhanced by the Multiplier feature, with up to 10 sticky Multipliers able to land on each spin when triggered randomly. Any further multipliers that land on the same cells will increase the multiplier value.

The Extra Bonus Game can be randomly triggered if any Bonus, Sticky Bonus or Jackpot symbols land on the middle row during the Main Game, adding further symbols in quantity enough or more to activate it.

Mystery symbols transform from gifts into Bonus, Jackpot or Boost symbols at random, while the Mystery Jackpot symbols transform into Mini, Minor or Major Jackpot symbols. The Boost symbol is active across both the Bonus Game and Extra Bonus Game, collecting all Bonus, Sticky Bonus and Jackpot symbol values from the reels and adding them to the value. If Multipliers are present, they are applied to the value of the Bonus and Sticky Bonus symbols before collection.

Three gingerbread jackpots can also be earned in the Bonus Game or Extra Bonus Game, when green, blue and purple gingerbread icons land on the reels at random. The corresponding jackpots include Mini Jackpots (10 bets), Minor Jackpots (20 bets) and Major Jackpots (50 bets). If all 25 cells are filled, a Grand Jackpot of x1,000 is awarded.

The Buy Bonus features offer three levels of Bonus Game for different bet amounts. For 50 Bets, players can buy the Bonus Game, while 100 Bets purchases the Extra Bonus Game and 300 the Super Bonus Game.

Vsevolod Lapin, Deputy CEO at Playson, said: “25 Cookies: Hit the Bonus™ is a delightful seasonal addition to our Hit the Bonus series, rounding off the year with an expanded 5×5 field that offers more chances to discover thrilling bonus opportunities.

“This is set to be a tasty treat for players this festive season, with twists and turns in the form of multipliers, a trio of Bonus Games and intriguing modifiers.”

Paysecure, the innovative payment orchestration firm, has reported a notable increase in merchant partners and a series of new senior appointments in December to accommodate a considerable rise in demand.

The company is swiftly expanding as the demand for payment orchestration solutions increases, especially in the worldwide iGaming industry.

In 2025, after the introduction of its main payments orchestration platform, Paysecure experienced a five-fold growth in the number of merchants utilizing its technology. This demand mirrored the rising competition in e-commerce markets, heavier regulatory requirements, and worldwide consumers seeking quicker checkouts.

To support the expanding international companies they have newly acquired, Paysecure has launched a comprehensive partner integration initiative throughout the year, achieving over 150 integrations, along with significant partnership announcements with WorldPay, DECTA, and Approvely. Top payment providers have acknowledged Payescure’s superior platform, which experienced enhanced acceptance rates, better transaction recovery rates, and increased profitability for merchants through additional redundancy features.

This commercial achievement has triggered a surge of new senior appointments to enhance the firm’s payment and sector-specific knowledge, signifying a pivotal year for the company. Total headcount rose by 131% in 2025. In the Senior Management Team, Sam Milton has come to Paysecure as Head of Sales from Paytently. He has dedicated the last ten years to iGaming and ecommerce payments with companies like Trustly and Vyne. Moreover, iGaming and payments specialist Jessica Rhodes has transitioned to Paysecure as Marketing Director from BR-DGE.

Viktoriia Degtiarova, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer at Paysecure, said: “We’ve had a transformative 2025 and we’re excited to carry this momentum into 2026. We have built a powerful payments ecosystem that covers the entire payments lifecycle and offers a broad range of functionality for operators of any scale. Paysecure thrives in some of the most complex and fragmented markets, enabling our clients to launch faster and scale with confidence. Our clients grow alongside us, and this strong momentum is the clearest indication that the market is demanding independent, flexible, and technologically advanced payment orchestration.”

Product development

The growth of the business was supported by the robustness of Paysecure’s orchestration solution suite and further boosted by the introduction of Dynamic Cashier in 2025. The Cashier module enhances customer revenue by enabling infinite customization and customer segmentation during the payment process.

Alongside Paysecure’s fundamental orchestration services, featuring its AI routing system, redundancy and resilience capabilities, real-time analytics, and improved payment integration, these solutions have significantly contributed to positioning Paysecure as a top orchestration provider in the iGaming industry.

As regulatory complexity grows in localized markets, orchestration solutions have equipped operators with the necessary compliant and advanced technological options for a contemporary iGaming business, enhancing their risk decision-making abilities and payment clarity. As regulators in 2025, including those in the UK and Germany, require more stringent KYC procedures and Brazil enforces a ban on third-party payments, payment orchestration has evolved from a straightforward task into a crucial aspect of customer satisfaction and managing business risk.

With an eye on 2026, Paysecure is enhancing its capabilities to satisfy the growing need for smart, data-driven payment solutions. AI-enhanced functionalities such as real-time outage detection, automated recovery of transactions, and smart payment method selection will bolster merchant resilience in intricate markets while providing a more personalized and competitive customer experience. These developments solidify Paysecure’s role as a versatile, forward-looking orchestration ally.

Next stop ICE

Paysecure will participate in ICE Barcelona from January 19 to 21, sharing space with top payment organizations and operators atstand 4G30, showcasing its orchestration platform, which offers extensive market intelligence and tailored solutions for operators. Visitors can enjoy Payscure’s Crack the Code Game at its booth and interact with one of the leading orchestration solutions available today.

Data represents the future of all sectors and is the vital lifeblood of AI. Within iGaming, various groundbreaking uses of AI are currently reshaping the player experience, enhancing transactions, and facilitating comprehensive, real-time risk management.

The Paysecure orchestration platform serves as an intuitive data center, and in 2026, we will enhance its functionality to assist operators in visualizing their data, improving analytics, and utilizing AI for more effective smart routing and risk management at both transactional and business tiers.

Amit Hooja, Co-Founder and CEO at Paysecure, said “Our vision is to reshape the global payments landscape, empowering the world’s most ambitious digital businesses to scale globally and perform locally through seamless, intelligent payment orchestration. We have ambitious growth targets and we are well placed to meet them in 2026. I look forward to meeting the industry at ICE in Barcelona to discuss the future of payments and how Paysecure is at the forefront, leading the innovation.”

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has concocted its new game, Forbidden Alchemy, blending the perfect quantities of magic, sorcery, and win-driven excitement.

PG Soft’s latest hit is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot featuring high-paying symbols that may transform into Wild symbols and multipliers. Unfolding in a shadowy alchemist’s chamber, amongst glowing potion jars, arcane symbols, and mysterious ingredients the game pulses with energy. A broody, tension-laden soundtrack hums beneath the action, deepening the sense of mystery and pulling players further into the alchemist’s world, where every spin feels like another step into the unknown.

Key to the main game is the Wild Transformation feature that can be randomly activated on any spin. During the Wild Transformation Feature, one or more high-paying symbols may be randomly selected and transformed into Wilds. Each transformed symbol increases a multiplier at the top of the reels, and once the feature is complete, all wins are multiplied by the combined total of these multipliers.

Three scientist Scatter symbols on the reels will trigger the Free Spins feature that starts with 12 free spins. Four Scatters will launch the feature with 15 free spins and finding five Scatters will award players with 20 free spins.

During the Free Spins Feature, any multipliers gained through the Wild Transformation Feature remain active for the duration of the round. Whenever the feature triggers on a winning free spin, all wins are multiplied by the combined total of the active multipliers. Landing two Scatter symbols at any point during Free Spins awards three additional free spins, with the feature fully retriggerable.

PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Forbidden Alchemy blends together inventive mechanics, big win potential, and striking graphics, all set against the backdrop of a shadowy laboratory. The Wild Transformation delivers a powerful element of tension and excitement, making it a game to suit all players’ tastes.”
