Smash and Win mechanic boosted by three Special Features and powerful Free Spins to elevate entertainment

Playson, the accomplished digital entertainment supplier, welcomes players to join the party with Paddy Star: Smash and Win, where a charismatic leprechaun host and his Piggy Banks introduce the supplier’s innovative new mechanic.

The brand-new Smash and Win feature activates when the leprechaun Wild symbol combines with any Bonus or Jackpot icon. It unlocks their values and adds them to the winning spin in the Main Game or to the total win during Free Spins. This fresh mechanic is enhanced by three randomly triggered Special Features that can activate during a single spin.

Paddy Spin guarantees Wild and Bonus symbols, while Jackpot Nudge rewinds a random number of icons to reveal Jackpot symbols when the Wild lands on the central reel. Wild Nudge rewinds the centre cell of the third reel to land on the Wild symbol, with each feature capable of transforming an ordinary spin into something magnificent.

The title’s animated Piggy Banks, positioned above the reels, receive coins from the Wild symbol during both the Main Game and Free Spins. Each has the power to trigger six Free Spins, offering the opportunity to land a total of 12 if both activate at the same time. Free Spins can then retrigger, extending the party-level energy.

Four in-game Jackpots, from a 10x Mini Jackpot up to a 1,000x Grand Jackpot, add further excitement and are all paid during the Smash and Win feature only. With medium-high volatility and a max win of 2,129x, the title combines retention-proven mechanics with inventive new features.

This latest release demonstrates Playson’s talent for developing unique mechanics that enhance player engagement based on data-driven insights.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “Paddy Star: Smash and Win represents a fresh chapter in our commitment to innovation and delivering more to our partners. The mechanic was developed specifically for this title and brings something genuinely new to the reels.

“The combination of our Smash and Win feature, multiple themed Special Features and the dancing Piggy Bank characters creates an experience that is memorable and packed with winning potential.”

Ultra-strong Strike Boost Clover provides enhanced access to the Collect Feature and greater win possibilities.

Playson, the skilled digital entertainment provider, has enhanced its Clover collection of slots with the launch of Clover Strike: Hold and Win, adding Strike Boost Clovers to increase winning possibilities in both base and bonus gameplay.

The beloved Collect Feature energizes the reels in both the Main and Bonus Game, activated by landing either the high-voltage Strike Clover or Strike Boost Clover along with any Bonus Clover.

Beyond enhancing the look of the Collect Feature in gameplay, Strike Boost Clovers can unpredictably activate the newly added Strike Boost Feature, electrifying the reel set with Multipliers from 2x to 5x, an immediate Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Jackpot victory of up to 1,000x, or a flurry of additional Bonus Clovers with varying values.

To enhance the thrill, landing Bonus Clovers on reels one and three, in conjunction with a Strike or Strike Boost Clover on reel two, leads to the Hold and Win Bonus Game, featuring exclusively Bonus, Strike, and Strike Boost Clovers. Bonus Clovers that reach display values of up to 15x will remain, while Strike and Strike Boost Clovers stay sticky throughout the round, with the latter collecting the value of all Strike Clovers that appear on the same spin for enhanced winning outcomes.

Focusing on base gameplay, Bonus access is additionally enhanced by the Pile of Clovers Feature. There is a chance of randomly activating at any moment during the main game, allowing for enough Bonus, Strike, or Strike Boost Clovers to be randomly increased in quantity to initiate the Bonus Game.

For thrill seekers looking for an extra dynamic to bonus play, a Super Bonus is also available for purchase, which guarantees one or more Strike Boost Clovers in action.

Playson’s vibrant new release underlines the supplier’s expertise in advancing its portfolio with intriguing twists, developing fresh concepts for operators’ players to enjoy worldwide.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “Our clover collection has consistently resonated with players, and Clover Strike: Hold and Win pushes that momentum even further. The Strike Boost mechanic injects unpredictability and excitement into every phase of the game, whether through multiplier shocks, jackpot hits or boosted bonus entry.

“It is a title designed to stand out on casino lobbies while delivering the depth and excitement that today’s players expect.”

Playson, the successful digital entertainment provider, starts the new year with its delightful leprechaun character in x1000 Golden Penny 2, enhancing the win potential of its Irish folklore-themed series by introducing new Mystery Multipliers.

The legendary leprechaun guides players through a cascading journey, where possible rewards are enhanced by vibrant clover-marked Multipliers providing values ranging from 2x to 1,000x. Eight or more matching symbols create a winning combination prior to collapsing, initiating a cascade. After a cascade sequence concludes, all Multiplier values are summed up before being added to the Total Win for that round.

In a magical twist to gameplay, new vibrant Mystery Multiplier Symbols can appear during the Main and Bonus Game, providing an enhanced value spectrum from 10x to 1,000x to maintain the excitement.

Landing four or more Scatter symbols while playing in the base game unlocks the Free Spins feature, which can grant up to 25 free spins. Once more, at the conclusion of a cascade sequence, all enchanted Multiplier or Mystery Multiplier symbols are summed and then applied to the Total Win. Increasing the opportunity for a plentiful pot of gold, three or more Scatter symbols appearing during this round will activate an extra five Free Spins.

For those in pursuit of a longer adventure to the rainbow’s end, there are two Bonus Buy choices available, including a Super Free Spins feature that ensures multipliers can reach a maximum value of 1,000x.

x1000 Golden Penny 2 signifies Playson’s newest hit launch, highlighting the provider’s talent for engaging players globally with innovative spins on its best-selling titles.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “With x1000 Golden Penny 2, we wanted to build on the charm and popularity of the original, while introducing a feature that truly elevates the moment-to-moment excitement.

“The new Mystery Multiplier brings an added layer of anticipation to gameplay, rewarding players with the potential for significant win amplification.
