Evoplay has launched Lu Fu Vortex, a new slot title built around Coin and Bonus symbol interactions, including a central “Lu Fu Energy” collection feature and a bonus round with fixed jackpots.

The game’s main mechanic triggers when Coin symbols and the Bonus Vortex appear together, activating Lu Fu Energy to collect all Coin values, alongside Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand jackpots, into a single reward, according to the supplier.

The Bonus Game starts when at least one Bonus symbol lands on each reel. It begins with three spins and resets when a new Bonus symbol appears. Evoplay said the base game also includes a Coin Rush mechanic, and that Coin symbols carry random multipliers from 1x to 10x as well as fixed jackpot values.

Lu Fu Vortex includes four fixed jackpots: Mini (20x), Minor (35x), Major (100x), and Grand (1000x), which can be unlocked during the Bonus Game. A Bonus Buy option is available in selected markets, providing access to the Bonus Game or Super Bonus Game.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Lu Fu Vortex is built around controlled intensity. Instead of overwhelming players with complexity, we focused on creating a clear, evolving system where every Coin and Bonus symbol has purpose. The Lu Fu Energy mechanic brings everything together in a way that feels dynamic and rewarding.

“The extended Bonus Game boosts player engagement and combined with the jackpot potential and Coin-driven reward system, it creates a consistent sense of momentum from the first spin to the last.”

Tom Horn Gaming will launch Giza’s Portals, a new online slot, on 19 May. The game will roll out across the supplier’s global partner network.

Giza’s Portals runs on a 4×5 grid with 25 paylines and is positioned as a medium-volatility title. Tom Horn Gaming lists an RTP of 95.01% and a maximum win of up to x3,898.

The Golden Pyramid acts as the Wild symbol, substituting for all regular symbols except the Scatter. Wilds can include a random multiplier of x2, x3, x4, or x5, and multipliers combine when multiple Wilds land on the same payline.

A Tomb Pick Up Bonus is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols, unlocking 12, 16, or 20 sarcophagus boxes and awarding 3, 4, or 5 picks. Boxes can reveal instant cash prizes or Free Spins, with up to 15 Free Spins available during the feature. A Bonus Buy option is also included.

“With Giza’s Portals, we wanted to take a theme players know and enjoy, and give it a stronger sense of interaction and momentum. The combination of Multiplier Wilds, Free Spins, and the Pick Up bonus creates a gameplay experience that feels both familiar and engaging from the first spin,” said Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming.

On The Button Games has launched Plinko: Dare to Drop, a high-volatility arcade-style casino game built and distributed through Stake Engine.

The title uses a 1950s pulp comic-inspired theme and features a risk-reward structure where players choose between 5, 10 or 20 drops. The studio said higher-risk modes offer potential wins of up to 10,000x.

Gameplay follows a “daring skydivers” format, with rounds ending instantly if any parachute fails. The studio said golden parachutes collected during play unlock a bonus round that multiplies all winnings accumulated so far.

The game was created by a three-person team: Alex Scott, Shyam Markus and Karl Bray.

Scott, co-founder and CEO of On The Button Games, said: “We tried to make the most fun Plinko game that we could. It’s a new take on the format where players can go on long, exciting runs and win big prizes.

“It’s very easy to understand, easy to follow on stream, and has our sense of humour dropped right in.”

Stake Engine is Stake’s Remote Gaming Server (RGS) platform, providing studios with infrastructure, deployment tools and access to Stake’s player base.
