Make Crime Pay with BGaming’s Wild Card Gang

 

A Criminal Underworld meets the innovative MergeUp Mechanic in BGaming’s Wild Card Gang

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming plunges players deep into the gritty world of organized crime, where a rogue gallery of sinister criminals takes center stage in Wild Card Gang.

This moody slot draws inspiration from the crime genre’s most iconic TV shows and movies. With menacing characters inspired by Peaky Blinders and an atmospheric soundtrack that provokes memories of Twin Peaks, Wild Card Gang is a treat for both the eyes and ears.

Wild Card Gang offers engaging gameplay beyond its thematic and visual appeal, utilizing BGaming’s innovative MergeUp™ mechanic. This unique feature allows four or more adjacent symbols to form a cluster. After a cluster is paid out, some symbols disappear while the remaining ones evolve into the next level’s symbols, with nine different symbols in the game. All of this occurs on a 6×6 game grid.

Recognizing the importance of mobile gameplay, BGaming has designed Wild Card Gang to deliver an exciting experience that has no issue transitioning onto smaller screens. The MergeUp™ mechanic lends itself perfectly to mobile play, inviting players to enjoy long, anticipation-filled sessions as they climb up the levels and unlock the game’s winning potential.

As a BGaming slot, Wild Card Gang has more tricks up its sleeve. Landing four or more Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins bonus round. During this, whenever a win occurs, the winning cells are marked. If a marked cell is part of another winning cluster, it receives a 2x multiplier. This multiplier can accumulate throughout the round, reaching up to 128x.

Players can pay their way into the game’s bonus rounds. The Buy Bonus feature allows you to trigger the Free Spins bonus for 100x the stake. Additionally, the Chance x2 option enables players to increase their bet by 1.25 times to double their chances of activating the bonus.

Wild Card Gang is a slot with its guns locked and loaded. The game has a maximum win of 5,000x, a mouthwatering RTP of 97.25%, and a very high volatility rating.

Nikita Zavadsky, Custom Games Product Manager at BGaming, said: “At BGaming, we believe inspiration can come from anywhere. With Wild Card Gang, we’ve drawn on iconic crime TV show narratives to create a unique gameplay experience for our players.

We’ve also adopted an entertainment-first approach, mixing high RTP, mobile-friendly gameplay, and very high volatility to create a perfect slot game for risk lovers.”

Apollo announced the completion of the previously announced acquisitions of International Game Technology PLC’s (doing business as Brightstar Lottery) Gaming & Digital Business and Everi Holdings Inc. (Everi) by a holding company owned by funds managed by Apollo affiliates (the Apollo Funds). The all-cash transaction, valued at approximately $6.3 billion, brings together complementary businesses to form a privately held global leader in gaming, digital and financial technology solutions.

The two companies will be integrated into a combined enterprise in the coming months. Headquartered in Las Vegas, the combined enterprise will operate under the IGT name, while retaining the Everi brand in select markets and product lines. IGT will be organized into three business units: Gaming, Digital, and FinTech, creating a customer-first enterprise supported by a people-first culture that values talent, collaboration, and innovation.

“This is a defining moment for our industry. By uniting two leading organizations, we are building an enterprise with the scale, talent and technology to lead the future of gaming. With Apollo’s support, we are very well-positioned to deliver exceptional content across land-based and digital experiences, along with integrated financial solutions and casino management that enhance the player journey and drive value for our customers. I’m honored to be part of this exciting chapter and to help shape the future of IGT,” said Nick Khin, Interim CEO of IGT.

As previously announced, Hector Fernandez is expected to assume the role of CEO of IGT in the fourth quarter of 2025, following the expiration of a customary non-compete period. Until then, Mr. Khin will lead the organization and transition into the role of CEO of IGT’s Gaming business unit upon Mr. Fernandez’s arrival.
