Rapidly expanding content provider delivers data-driven sequel to improve on popular hit
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is proud to announce the release of Merge Up
2, the long-awaited sequel to the hugely popular cluster-pay title, Merge Up
. The new release elevates the original’s gameplay mechanics and design, using data-driven insights and research to give players exactly what they want.
The company has collaborated with Strmlytics, which provided factual streaming data and direct feedback from the streaming community playing Merge Up
. These insights have enabled BGaming to enhance gameplay without losing the charm and appeal of the original title.
This data-first approach has resulted in a visually modernised and polished slot experience. Merge Up
2 features an eye-pleasing pastel theme, with simplified visuals and mechanics that are now even easier for players to read.
Gameplay has seen the most significant enhancements. Cell Multipliers are now a central part of the base game, while consecutive clusters can trigger the all-new Bomb symbols, an idea inspired by a more rewarding experience compared to the original title.
Bonus features have also been made more accessible. The Free Spins bonus is triggered with three Scatters, as opposed to four, while three Bonus Buy options now offer different entry levels for players with a brand new bonus with maximum potential.
Merge Up
2 also boasts an explosive math model, offering a 10,000x maximum win and an impressive 98% RTP, enhancing the overall entertainment experience.
Yana Drabianok, Game Designer at BGaming, said, “We aimed to keep the merging mechanic as dynamic as before and make it even more engaging, but in the end, we knew the game must also have a heart. Merge Up
2 is more than a set of soulless features – it’s a game made with love for detail. We want the feeling of it to be precisely that of a game with a soul: with a smooth flow, understandable rhythm, instant readability, and pleasant “micro-rewards” at every step.
Sebastian Khalighy, CEO at Strmlytics, said, “We are delighted to work alongside BGaming again, and we are excited to see how players react to Merge Up
2. Our data, expertise and research identified key areas improvements of the original gaming experience focusing on improving the overall player experience, and we believe the final product addresses all of them, both for the fans of the original and also new players.
Data-driven insights and player research are going to play a key role in gaming development in the coming years, and titles like Merge Up
2 are an excellent example of what they are capable of helping to produce.”

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Wrap up warm this festive season with some retro-inspired slot action
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming invites you to cosy up to the fire and hit spin with the release of Totally Hot. This dynamic new title combines classic slot elements with modern gameplay mechanics.
Taking into account its December launch, BGaming dressed up the game for the season: the action is brought to life with bold visuals and festive animations, with roaring hot flames filling the background and Christmas candy canes bordering the reels. Totally Hot will revert to its original version when the holiday season is over.
It is not only the game’s visuals that have been given a modern makeover. Totally Hot deploys a pay-both-ways payment mechanic across its 5×3 game grid, giving players the chance to win with matching combinations in both directions across the reels. Wins go from left-to-right, right-to-left, and even begin in the middle of the reels.
There is also the potential for a festive treat to drop in the middle of the grid in the form of an Expanding Wild, holding players’ attention with the action on every spin.
Totally Hot keeps the good times rolling thanks to a low-volatility maths model that entertains players with frequent wins. This is complemented by an extremely attractive RTP of 97.21%.
Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “The holidays are here, and we wanted to provide our players with the bright and warm gift of nostalgia this Christmas. Totally Hot has been designed to captivate new players and seasoned classic slot lovers alike, keeping them engaged with wins coming from literally every direction.
The game’s blazing vibes and low volatility serve up plenty of laid-back fun.”

X-Mas.
Santa and his sleigh replace the plane from the original title, with players watching as he flies through the air, collecting festive multipliers before hopefully landing on an ice floe to collect his prizes.
A range of multipliers fills Santa’s path as he attempts to guide his sleigh stacked with presents onto one of the game’s many snow-covered islands. The more gift multipliers the sleigh collects in flight and the fewer ice obstacles it encounters, the bigger the prize when it touches down.
Like the Aviamasters
game, the X-mas edition can be adjusted to suit different player tastes. There are four speed options, and players can switch between them throughout the rounds. The game’s progress dashboard allows players to watch the altitude, distance, and multiplier values increase during the flight, building tension and creating excitement.
The original Aviamasters
casual game has been a turbojet hit for BGaming. Its easy-to-understand mechanics, emotional gameplay, and streaming-friendly interface have led to over 450,000 social mentions and a reach of over 1 billion in the last 12 months alone. Aviamasters
was originally released in 2024 and has become one of the studio’s flagship hits, receiving Best Casino Game of 2025 at the SiGMA Central Europe Awards in Rome.
Julia Alekseeva, CPO at BGaming, said, “What better way to celebrate the festive season than with a merry take on one of our biggest hits? The original Aviamasters
is a favourite among BGaming players, so we decided to put a festive spin on it and give our players a delightful Christmas treat.
Everything players love about the original Aviamasters
remains in place — the game’s endless replayability, its casual, low-volatility action, and its mobile-friendly design. Only this time, the fun is enhanced with a holiday atmosphere and further optimized gameplay flow.”
