PG Soft unlocks new release: Grimms’ Bounty – Hansel & Gretel

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has launched its fairytale-inspired slots title, Grimms’ Bounty: Hansel & Gretel. It’s a 3-reel, 5-row video slot that features increasing multipliers and extra respins to keep the action engaging.
The Wild is represented by a bubbling cauldron that substitutes for all symbols to create more winning combinations, while the mystical potion Scatter unlocks the Free Spins feature.
When the main game is underway, the Respin value on the left side of the screen begins at zero. Once a winning spin lands and after the win is paid, all low-paying winning symbols are collected. The Respin value increases by one for every low-paying winning symbol collected. Should no winning combination happen and there is at least 1 Respin value, a Respin value will be used to award a free respin (Scatter symbols will remain on the reels).
The Multiplier Collection feature is displayed on the right hand side and starts at x1. A winning spin here will morph all high-paying symbols (Witch, Hansel, Gretel, Cupcake, and Bread) collected in the Multiplier meter. For every five symbols collected, the Multiplier increases by x1.
Free Spins will launch with three or more Scatter symbols on the screen and will begin with eight spins. In Free Spins the Respin counter is set to zero, and a Multiplier set at x2. After each winning spin, low-paying symbols are collected into the Respin meter on the left, while high-paying symbols are gathered into the Multiplier meter on the right. Every four low-paying symbols collected adds an extra Respin, and every four high-paying symbols boost the Multiplier by x2. If no win appears but there is at least one Respin stored, a Respin will trigger automatically, keeping the round alive. All wins during this feature are multiplied by the current Multiplier displayed on the reels.
PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “With Grimms’ Bounty: Hansel & Gretel, we’ve brought a timeless fairytale to life in a slot filled with striking visuals and mysterious effects that perfectly capture the story’s atmosphere. As a collapse-style game, it delivers dynamic gameplay that we’re sure will delight fans of the fantasy and fairytale world.”

Seed Wealth and unleash Power with FBM®’s Xing Fú Fortune™ Money Trees multi-game in Mexico!

Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees is now available with a multi-game configuration! Power and Wealth are the two themes of this product joining FBM®’s slot games portfolio. Mexican players can now enjoy seven exciting gaming dynamics with varying bet levels and experience the thrills of a common bonus based on the Prosperity, Strength, and Fortune money trees, along with four jackpots to conquer.
The impressive performance of the Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees slot game in its early months captured the attention and curiosity of Mexican slot enthusiasts, leaving them eager for more. Responding to market demand, FBM developed an extension of this product featuring a multi-game configuration. Players can now experience the mechanics of the Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees game through two distinct themes: Wealth, with bets of 58 credits, and Power, with game rounds of 88 credits.
This step allows FBM to cover a wider audience of players, offering them the chance to live the unique gaming experience delivered by Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees with different bet levels. The Wealth and Power themes keep the feature set and unpredictability behind the high levels of player engagement and retention registered by the single-game version, adding new graphic elements and betting options to the casino operators’ customers.
Three Money Trees are the foundation for this entertaining FBM slot game
The Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees Power and Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees Wealth share a link bonus with three accumulators, which can start with a blue, red, or green coin obtained on any game round.
The Prosperity, Fortune and Strength money trees can unlock the bonus independently or in combination, offering up to seven distinct game experiences. Now let’s recap the rewarding effect of each one of these features:
- Prosperity – the coins of Prosperity are blue, and attribute a random prize for players to collect when they appear on the reels.
- Strength – the red coins symbolize Strength, and they multiply the values of all coins available on the reels to get a numeric prize value then.
- Fortune – the Fortune coins are green, and have the collector effect. When they appear on the reels, they accumulate the value of all the other coins.
The link bonus is also the game mode that allows players to conquer four jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major or Grand.
A disruptive FBM slot game is now available in two configurations
Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees transports players into a universe inspired by Oriental culture and becomes available for casino operators to install and players to enjoy in both single-game and multi-game configurations.
Bonsais, dragons, frogs, carps, ema plaques, fans, white tigers, lanterns, lotus flowers, turtles and phoenixes are some of the typical symbols representing the Asian culture showcased in the Wealth and Power versions of the product. The carefully crafted sounds and graphics blend smoothly with these visual elements, creating an immersive and authentic connection between the player, the slot game and the Asian roots.
Available for the Galaxy II and Auria casino cabinets, Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees ensure a friendly integration on different casino floor layouts in both product configurations.
Following the positive debut of the single-game version, FBM offers the Mexican casino operators a renewed version of the Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees product with additional options for their players. This launch reaffirms the brand’s commitment to the continuous reinvention and evolution of the Mexican gaming industry.

SCiQ Ecosystem Modernizes Lottery Scratch Game Sales, Simplifies Retail Operations
The Georgia Lottery Corporation is taking a major step forward in transforming the way players experience instant scratch games at retail with the launch of Scientific Games’ award-winning SCiQ retail ecosystem at 1,500 locations statewide. The breakthrough retail technology modernizes how scratch games are sold and managed, bringing greater operational efficiency to retailers and a convenient, streamlined purchasing experience for players.
The innovative retail technology rollout is the latest milestone in a long-standing partnership between the Georgia Lottery and metro Atlanta-based Scientific Games, a collaboration that began at the Lottery’s inception in 1993. Through the long-standing partnership, Scientific Games has worked with the Lottery to launch its first scratch game, first second-chance promotion and is soon to launch its first loyalty program.
“Retail environments are evolving, and the Georgia Lottery is proud to lead with smart technology solutions that align with how today’s consumers want to shop,” said Gretchen Corbin, President and CEO of the Georgia Lottery Corporation. “SCiQ brings a modern retail presence to our instant games, helps our retailers operate more efficiently and ultimately supports our mission to maximize revenues for the HOPE Scholarship and Georgia Pre-K program.”
A Gold Winner in the 2025 American Business Awards for Operations Management Solution and Bronze Winner in the 2025 International Business Awards for Achievement in Product Innovation, SCiQ is being deployed across the diverse mix of Georgia Lottery retailers, including both major chain and independent stores. Each will benefit from:

- Dynamic digital menu boards that elevate the product’s in-store presence and promotion while providing players with real-time updated information
- Game dispensing bins that secure products, reduce theft and provide ticket-by-ticket operational tracking
“We are especially proud to bring the benefits of SCiQ to our home state,” said John Schulz, President of the Americas for Scientific Games. “The Georgia Lottery has always been a forward-thinking partner, and this retail modernization initiative is another move to ensure future growth for its instant game business to sustain future funding for Georgia’s students.”
A leading innovator in the industry, the Georgia Lottery ranked No. 2 in the world for scratch game per capita sales (La Fleur’s 2025 World Almanac). It has been a participant in the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership program since the Lottery’s inception, benefiting from instant game design and production, portfolio management and game planning services, data analytics, advanced logistics, licensed brand services and retail sales and marketing support.
