Relax Gaming sees its wildest bandito return in Wild Chapo 2 Dream Drop
Relax Gaming, the iGaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, is readying itself for the biggest breakout of the year as everyone’s favourite outlaw returns in Wild Chapo 2 Dream Drop.
The much-loved Mexican anti-hero, Chapo, is looking to get out of jail and help land players Mega Jackpots in this 6×3 epic. Big wins come through Wild Re-Spins, Free Spins and of course, the legendary Dream Drop Jackpot.
Wild symbols appear on reels two and five and trigger a re-spin. Re-spins continue as long as wins involving a wild symbol occur; all wilds are held in place during each re-spin.
Each wild displays a number between one and five, representing the number of wins it must be part of before being collected. This number decreases by one with every win. Once a Wild reaches zero, it is collected under the reel.
After the re-spins, a final spin occurs where the collected wilds expand to fill the reel, creating wild reels. Wins with multiple wilds have their multiplier values combined for greater rewards.
Free Spins are triggered by collecting three or more bonus symbols during a game round. Wild symbols remain on the reels throughout the feature, either until they are collected or until the final spin. At the end of the feature, a final spin is awarded, where collected wilds expand to fill the reel above them. Every bonus symbol that lands during Free Spins awards one extra spin.
Landing a large DD symbol automatically triggers the Dream Drop Bonus game, which is presented as two jackpot wheels. A jackpot is won when both wheels stop and pair the same jackpot, or when one of the wheels stops on a wild. When both jackpot wheels stop on Wild, a re-spin of the wheels is triggered.
Shelley Hannah, CPO at Relax Gaming, said: “Wild Chapo is a long-standing favourite amongst our players, and Wild Chapo 2 seemed like the perfect game to receive a Dream Drop makeover. We know this slot is popular, but we truly believe adding our much-loved jackpot will elevate it to new heights.”

Gamblers Connect names Gali Hartuv as seventh 2026 Contributors Program voice
The Playa strategic advisor will publish on VIP operations, segmentation and retention, starting with an anonymous VIP Operations Survey 2026.
Gamblers Connect has confirmed Gali Hartuv, Strategic Advisor at The Playa, as the seventh voice to join its 2026 Contributors Program.
The independent B2B iGaming media platform said the programme will reveal one senior industry voice per month throughout 2026, with contributors publishing under the Gamblers Connect Contributor Editorial Code.
Gamblers Connect said Hartuv has more than 15 years’ experience in VIP management, including designing and optimising VIP programmes across more than 50 operator brands, and training “hundreds of professionals” now working in VIP roles across the industry.
Hartuv will publish across four areas: building VIP programmes that drive long-term value; AI-powered VIP identification and player segmentation; hyper-personalisation and retention strategy; and scaling VIP operations across different markets and cultures. His first contribution is a VIP Operations Survey 2026, an anonymous survey intended to benchmark how VIP teams work across iGaming operators, including portfolio sizing, tools, qualification thresholds, workflow standards and where time is spent during the week.
Partnerships and Operations Lead, Luka Dimitrijevic, said: “VIP management is where a great deal of an operator’s value is won or lost, and very few people can speak to it with Gali’s depth. He has spent his career turning high value player relationships into a discipline rather than guesswork, and he is refreshingly candid about what works and what does not. Through the Contributors Program he will share practical insight on VIP strategy, retention, and the smart use of AI, with content grounded in real results rather than recycled best practices.”
