ELA Games’ King and Flame has been named a finalist for Best New Game Release at the 2026 SiGMA Europe Awards. The awards are scheduled to take place at the Casino Maltese in Valletta, Malta, on May 27.

The company said the nomination reflects its approach of combining narrative design with slot math models. King and Flame is positioned as a medieval fantasy Hold and Win title built around a storyline that “flips classic fantasy tropes upside down,” with a prince unleashing a Dragon Queen.

According to ELA Games, the game includes coin symbols that pay their face value, Mystery Chests that can award instant prizes or trigger the Grand Jackpot, and a “Tamed by the Crown” feature where the Dragon Queen appears as an expanding Full Reel Wild. The studio also highlighted free spins with column-expanding coins and a Super Bonus Wheel that doubles rewards.

Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director of ELA Games, said: “We’re very happy to see King and Flame get a nomination at the very well-regarded SiGMA Europe awards. I know the work everyone at the ELA team put into creating an intricate back story and graphic world for this slot. It is one of the most narrative-based titles we have released to date, and the care the team put into the design has really brought that story to life. It is wonderful to see that dedication noticed on such a prestigious stage.”

SiGMA has opened public voting for the category via its awards site.

White Hat Studios has launched Super Mode, a new promotional tool, with Fanatics Casino in the US iGaming market. The company said the feature is being integrated with Fanatics Casino across all four states where the operator currently runs iGaming.

Super Mode is a configurable random-prize mechanic that can be activated on eligible White Hat Studios games. According to White Hat Studios, prizes can include free spins and cash payouts, with the operator controlling promotional parameters such as scheduling, duration, and participating titles.

White Hat Studios positions the launch as the first phase of its upcoming Amplify Suite, an “all-in-one operational ecosystem” intended to bring together its game families, jackpot content, bespoke products, and gamification solutions in a single framework.

Daniel Lechner, SVP Sales and Marketing at White Hat Studios, said: “Debuting Super Mode with Fanatics Casino is a landmark moment for White Hat Studios, and an important step in bringing our all-in-one solution, Amplify Suite, to operators across regulated US iGaming markets.

“Fanatics Casino is an ideal launch partner. It is a leading brand in multiple states with a clear focus on engagement, and the addition of Super Mode to its gamification portfolio provides the operator with a powerful new way to create standout moments for players.”

Kieron Shaw, Sr. Manager Casino Content at Fanatics Casino, added: “Super Mode allows us to add a new layer of excitement to White Hat Studios’ already popular titles. With customisable graphics and full control over promotions and player segmentation, it will enable us to deliver more engaging campaigns that prioritise the user experience.”

ATG Casino has gone live in Sweden with slots from Fantasma Games via EveryMatrix, extending an earlier agreement to integrate aggregated content from the supplier.

ATG’s Swedish customers now have access to Fantasma titles including Explosive Banana X, Thundra Hydra Coins Max and Mission Coinplete, among others. Fantasma Games is part of the EveryMatrix Group.

The rollout includes EngageSuite Jackpots. EveryMatrix said the product uses real-time, customisable in-game widgets and allows operators to configure up to four jackpots per game without impacting base bets, with built-in simulation tools to estimate win frequency.

Carl Gatt Baldacchino, Account Management Casino, EveryMatrix, said: “Expanding the ATG® Casino deal with Fantasma Games titles was the natural next step of our partnership. By combining our aggregated and in-house content with our premium jackpot solution, ATG® will deliver a more engaging and differentiated experience to its players.”

Jan Sonnevi, Head of Casino, ATG, said: “Partnering with EveryMatrix has allowed us to introduce high-quality content and innovative engagement features to our players. We already saw how successful these additions were thanks to the record-breaking win registered by one of our players in January.” EveryMatrix noted ATG previously recorded a 1.4 million MEGA Jackpot win earlier this year using EngageSuite Jackpots.
