Spearhead Studios introduces history-inspired video slot Teutoburg
Spearhead Studios introduces its second video slot and first history-inspired title, Teutoburg. The new game is themed around the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, an event which took place in the 9th century when an alliance of Germanic tribes ambushed and destroyed three Roman legions.
Specially designed to answer the expectations of German players, Teutoburg is the second video slot of the company, after the launch of Black Forest in mid-August 2020. Teutoburg has an RTP of 96%, is of medium-high volatility, and offers a maximum payout in excess of 16,000x.
Kevin Corti, Game Development Director at Spearhead Studios, says:Â “We put a lot of time and effort into perfecting the math model to ensure that the features delivered real excitement and player value. Our creative team strove to create engaging visual effects and a rousing soundscape, to compliment both the game’s features and to fit with the historical theme we had chosen”.
Teutoburgâs key feature are the mystery symbols which reveal high paying German or Roman cavalry, archers or infantry symbols. These mystery prizes land frequently in the base game, and on every free spin.
If the mystery prizes reveal enough German symbols, and land next to any Roman ones, an ambush occurs, to the delight of the players. The embattled Romans are either converted into Germans or Multiplying Wilds to create huge win potential. Free spins can retrigger and when they do, the number of mystery prizes increases making it obvious to players how huge wins can be potentially achieved.

Procedure to be followed by school clubs affiliating for the 2025 season
Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA), founded in 1984, is the national federation for Board games, Card games, Esports, and Wargames.
MSSA promotes all the different disciplines equally, although each school may pick-and-choose which discipline it wishes to promote at its school. Some schools will promote the whole gambit, while others will concentrate on only one discipline, and/or even just concentrate on one specific title.
The choice is ultimately up to the school.
MSSA has sent teams with full Protea Colours to international events since 1991 for wargames, 1996 for Morabaraba, 1997 for Checkers, and 2005 for Esports. Many members of the national teams have been scholars, and all have benefited from their involvement in the national Protea Team.Â
There is still the option open for a school to start a full-blown sub-club on its premises, but bearing in mind the tight regulatory conditions under which accredited schools have to operate in the Republic, the MSSA no longer deems it necessary for a school to start a sub-club.
