Superheroes take the stage as Relax Gaming and CasinoDaddy reveal Immortal 5
Relax Gaming, the iGaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, has teamed up with CasinoDaddy to create its latest action-packed collaboration, Immortal 5.
Following the success of their previous titles, Sloth Tumble and Epic Dreams, the pair have joined forces once more to introduce a team of five superheroes, guiding players on a quest for maximum wins worth up to 10,000x their bet.
Packed with adrenaline-fueled features, including Hero Spin, Immortal Silver Bonus or Immortal re-spin, among others, Immortal 5 blends exciting gameplay with stunning design.
During the base game, the Immortal 5 feature can activate randomly, delivering between one and five Hero Wilds to the reels.
Landing one or more Immortal 5 wild symbols during the base game activates the Immortal 5 Re-Spin, locking all the wilds in place while the remaining positions re-spin. Additional Immortal Wilds extend the feature, keeping the action alive until no new wilds appear.
Players can trigger the Immortal Silver Bonus by landing silver bonus symbols on reels three, four and five. When the bonus is activated, six free spins and two standard power-up picks to use in either Hero Mode 1 or Hero Mode 2 are awarded.
When Gold Bonus lands on reels three, four and five, the Immortal Gold Bonus is triggered, awarding six free spins, three power-up picks, two standard picks and one super pick to use between Hero Mode 1 or Hero Mode 2.
With multiple Mega Bet and Bonus Buy options, Immortal 5 ensures operators have a versatile and engaging title that appeals to a wide audience.
Shelley Hannah, CPO at Relax Gaming, said: “Immortal 5 is the result of another awesome collaboration with CasinoDaddy, which allowed us to bring the best minds in the industry together once again. The game features high-energy action from the first spin and is packed with exciting features to enrich player experience like never before.”
Armin Aganovic, CRO at CasinoDaddy, added: “Immortal 5 has been created to bring value through three main verticals: Affiliate Marketing, Influencer Marketing, and Game Development. Immortal 5 offers diverse gameplay, rich with features, each delivering its own thrill to help set the game apart – especially the five hero characters, which is truly a sight to behold!”
“This is made possible thanks to Relax Gaming, a renowned brand with an incredible team. We have formed a fantastic relationship with Relax over the years and loved collaborating with them once again for the creation of Immortal 5.”
Established as one of the industry’s leading B2B suppliers, Relax Gaming was awarded GGA’s Product Launch of the Year in February 2023 for Dream Drop Jackpots. Money Train 3 names the 2023 CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards amongst its 6 Slot of the Year titles, while the brand also won the award for Skill Games Supplier at the 2023 EGR B2B Awards along with the Innovation in Mobile award at the 2023 SBC Awards.
Relax Gaming provides more than 4,000 online casino games, from its high-performing proprietary slots to a significant, varied library of content from hand-picked third-party studios via its partnership programmes.

2025 financial results
ZEAL Reports Strong Double-Digit Growth
ZEAL Network SE, Germany’s leading online lottery provider, closed 2025 with another year of robust double-digit growth.
Despite a weaker jackpot environment, the company significantly strengthened its core lottery business, accelerated diversification, and expanded its customer base—setting a solid foundation for long-term scalability.
The group delivered 16% revenue growth, reaching €218.5 million, while EBITDA rose 11% to €68.8 million. EBIT also climbed 12% to €60.1 million year over year. These results reinforce ZEAL’s strategic focus on building a multi-pillar digital entertainment ecosystem.
“At every level, our results confirm that our strategy works,” said Dr. Stefan Tweraser, CEO of ZEAL Network SE. “Expanding scalable products alongside our strong core lottery business increases resilience and positions us for ambitious future growth.”
CFO Andrea Behrendt highlighted continued investment in reducing jackpot dependence: “Our efforts create a sustainable and profitable growth structure.”
Core Lottery Business Continues to Lead Growth
ZEAL’s primary lottery brokerage remains its strongest revenue driver. Even with softer jackpot cycles:
- Monthly active users climbed 8% to a record 1.558 million.
- Lottery billings reached €1.1 billion, up 2%.
- Gross margin increased to 17.7%.
- Lottery-specific revenue surged 16% to €195.3 million.
These gains underline the brand’s ability to attract and retain large numbers of customers independent of jackpot volatility.
Dream House Raffle Becomes a Major Growth Pillar
The Traumhausverlosung (Dream House Raffle)—launched in 2024—has rapidly evolved into a strong secondary revenue stream. With guaranteed winners and high-appeal prize structures, the charity lottery generated:
- €38.9 million in billings across four draws in 2025.
This success demonstrates the value of proprietary lottery products that complement ZEAL’s core business and enhance market differentiation.
Games Segment Accelerates With Expanded Portfolio
ZEAL also posted substantial growth in its digital Games division. The company extended its catalog to 650+ games, adding 400 new titles and strengthening collaborations with leading game developers.
As a result:
- Games revenue increased 46%, reaching €14.4 million.
- Active user numbers rose sharply.
- Player protection remained a top priority, supported by AI-driven safeguards.
Customer Base Expansion Remains a Strategic Priority
ZEAL made targeted investments to grow its user base, acquiring 1.171 million new customers in 2025. As expected with aggressive acquisition:
- Customer acquisition cost (CPL) increased to €46.47.
- Marketing spending rose 20% to €68.6 million.
This investment is key to sustaining ZEAL’s long-term market position and unlocking additional cross-sell opportunities in games and charity lotteries.
2026 Outlook: Continued Growth and Diversification
Looking ahead to 2026, ZEAL aims to expand its German market leadership and scale its charitable lotteries freiheit+ and Traumhausverlosung, while continuing to strengthen its Games offering.
Forecasts for 2026 include:
- Revenue between €250–260 million
- EBITDA between €70–75 million
These projections already factor in increased investment to accelerate diversification and future-proof the business.
