In May 2025, Slotsjudge signs a partnership with DreamPlay, a young studio working on slots and crash games. This collaboration will attract players’ attention to the brand’s new releases. At the same time, Slotsjudge readers will access reviews of even more thrilling games and mechanics, including the Coin Chase feature frequently applied by the team.
Partnership’s Potential & Advantages of DreamPlay
The DreamPlay’s library has different games, including classic slots like Fruit Fresh and innovative crash games like Olympus Power. Some games have simple settings, featuring a 3×3 layout, and others have advanced mechanics, such as pay-anywhere at Emojinator.
The studio is ambitious, which guarantees a player-focused approach and multi-device support. Plus, the developers are bound to add more perks and new technologies to upcoming games. All these advantages are certain to impress Slotsjudge readers and keep them well-entertained.
Alexandr Tkach, CEO of DreamPlay, commented on the occasion:
‘We appreciate it when a product is examined not superficially, but with an understanding of its essence.
Partnering with Slotsjudge means more than just product placement.
It’s collaborating with a team that understands the game’s mechanics, math, and feel’
Collaboration Perspective for Both Sides
The partnership is essential for both sides. This collaboration increases DreamPlay’s chances of strategic growth because more players will learn about its games and how their mechanics work.
For Slotsjudge, it’s an opportunity to upgrade the list of reviews with new titles and an unusual approach to familiar things. For example, most games from DreamPlay have a low 20x to 30x cost for Bonus Buy, and when it comes to free spins, games like Future Sevens Coin Chase offer up to 100 FS, which is more than many other slots have.
Jekaterina Dubnicka, Head of Marketing & Communications at Slotsjudge, added:
‘The market never stops evolving, so we appreciate when the products for our reviews are not just average games but titles with a twist. Such collaborations are excellent for both sides and players who will get more options for having fun.’
Besides game reviews, content like blog articles and interviews is also expected to appear on Slotsjudge shortly.

Mr. Tengco made the promise over the weekend when he graced the traditional Rites of Passage Ceremony of the Philippine Army Officer Candidate School (OCS) at Camp O’Donnell here.
Addressing the graduating “Nagdilaab” Class 62-2025 and the incoming seniors of “Bumannawag” Class 63-2025, Mr. Tengco noted the similarities between PAGCOR’s mandate and the mission of the AFP to serve the Filipino people.
“PAGCOR and the Officer Candidate Corps are kindred in mission,” he said. “Though we operate in different spheres, we are united by a shared duty to serve the Filipinos with integrity, courage, and dedication.”
He also underscored the state gaming agency’s support for uniformed personnel – from funding classrooms to building hospitals and other life-changing programs that benefit soldiers and their loved ones.
“Today is not just about the passing of the torch; it is also handing over purpose and trust along with the sacred oath to serve our nation with honor, courage and integrity,” he said.
OCS Commandant Col. Harold Cabunoc for his part thanked the PAGCOR chief for attending the Rites of Passage and for Mr. Tengco’s commitment to support their priority projects.
While details of PAGCOR’s support has yet to be finalized, Cabunoc said they need more facilities because the implementation of the Army’s One Training Factory concept means officer candidates from all over the country are flocking to Camp O’Donnell.
“OCS now produces 650 to 700 officer candidates per year, surpassing even the graduates of the Philippine Military Academy,” he said.
“However, the school’s infrastructure has yet to keep pace. Our barracks were built for 400 students but are now housing 600, and some rooms meant for four are occupied by six.”
“The influx of trainees highlights our urgent need for more facilities to keep up with the requirements of the Philippine Army,” he said. “But through bayanihan spirit and collaboration with agencies like PAGCOR, we believe we can address these needs.”
Among the projects proposed by OCS for PAGCOR’s support are the construction of an auditorium, a fitness gym and two new barracks that can accommodate an additional 400 cadets.
