Belatra unveils Winter Thunder title
Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has unveiled its festive treat this holiday season, Winter Thunder.
Swapping the arid US plains for a wintery wonderland, Winter Thunder carries players into an enchanting atmosphere surrounded by snow-covered canyons and frosty forests. Players will be joined in the wilderness by lynxes, eagles, bears, and, the star of the show, the white wolf. This represents the Wild symbol replacing symbols and covering two reel positions. If only part of the symbol lands, the reel keeps turning until it is completed.
A mountain symbol represents the Scatter and will launch free games when at least three are uncovered on the reels. The number of free spins is equal to the total of the original Scatter symbols added to the corresponding symbols at the bottom. During the round, additional free spins can be accrued, enhancing the chance of a win – the maximum is 40. The Global Multiplier equals the total number of bonus spins, and every win during the free rounds is multiplied by the total displayed.
Despite the frosty surroundings, there is a Hot Mode in-play that activates when five Scatter symbols hit. The maximum win potential is 12000x the bet.
Six or more credit symbols uncovered in the main game will bring players into the Hold-and-Win Bonus that has three wintery mini-reel spins. Credit symbols determine the total win and there are four types, including credit, bonus, extra bonus and empty.
The credit symbol returns a win, the bonus one will multiply the win by a total ranging from 20x to 100x and the extra will return a mini, minor, major, or grand extra bonus. A special element in the Hold-and-Win Bonus is the lightning strike, which has the power to electrify one of the reels and trigger an additional spin to increase returns. Players have the option to increase their stake with the Bet+100% feature, which will amplify the frequency of prize games and the Hold-and-Win bonus landing. For those eager to dive into the features sooner, Belatra’s Buy Bonus option is available.
Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “This is the perfect time of year to invite players into the enchanting tundra with our holiday hit, Winter Thunder. This game brings a festive twist to the wild American wilderness, where lynxes, eagles, bears, and, of course, the mighty wolf play key roles.”

BETBY EXPANDS E-SIM PORTFOLIO WITH TWO INDUSTRY-FIRST TITLES: eTABLE TENNIS and eFOOTVOLLEY
Reading Time: 2 minutes
BETBY, the leading sportsbook supplier, has expanded its proprietary esports feed, Betby.Games, with the launch of two brand-new e-sim titles: eTable Tennis and eFootVolley. Both releases mark a major milestone in BETBY’s commitment to delivering fair, authentic, and localised esports content that enhances 24/7 engagement for operators and players worldwide.
Representing a world-first for the industry, the eTableTennis title, entitled TTX CUP, introduces a completely new vertical to esports betting, with an authentic, fully fair, and transparent experience. The game features realistic physics, true-to-life gameplay, and zero-second betting delay, offering instant bet placement for one of the fastest-paced sports.
Each match follows the classic table tennis format of five sets to 11 points, with over 20 betting markets and high betting limits comparable to elite-level competitions such as the Champions League. Launched initially with two tournaments, TTX CUP delivers more than 1,500 matches per month, running 24/7 with no streaming delay, ensuring full transparency and player trust.
Aligned with the WTT Finals Hong Kong, one of the sport’s premier real-world events, the release allows operators to engage users during off-hours through a seamless, always-on e-sim.
BETBY’s second new title, eFootVolley, further strengthens its “go-local” approach by focusing on Brazil’s fast-growing futevôlei scene, one of the country’s most culturally resonant sports. The game replicates the official Liga Nacional de Futevôlei, following a five-set format (up to 11 points) and an average match duration of around 20 minutes, with 20+ available betting markets.
Launching in sync with the final stage of the real-world Liga Nacional de Futevôlei, eFootVolley provides an ultra-localised, 24/7 betting experience, reflecting BETBY’s strategy of blending authenticity with constant engagement. Following the success of eVaquejada, this release reinforces the company’s dedication to creating content that speaks directly to local audiences and their sporting passions.
Kirill Nekrasov, Head of Sportsbook Product at BETBY, commented: “With TTX CUP and eFootVolley, we’re breaking new ground in esports simulations. TTX CUP sets a new benchmark for integrity and realism in table tennis betting, while eFootVolley demonstrates our ongoing commitment to localised, culturally relevant content. Both titles reflect the Betby.Games vision to provide operators with high-frequency, fair, and engaging titles.”
The Betby.Games portfolio now features 25 proprietary titles, covering 80+ tournaments and over 400,000 monthly matches across multiple sports.
