Unleash the power of the Orb with Live 5’s latest slot
Orb of Osiris launches exclusively with Entain brands including PartyCasino and Foxy Games before going network wide on the 15th February
Live 5, the partner of choice slot developer who are behind some of this year’s most popular titles, is taking players into the deep dark depths of an ancient Egyptian tomb in search of treasures and big wins in its latest blockbuster release, Orb of Osiris.
The game, which launches exclusively with Entain, the leading global sports-betting and gaming group formerly called GVC Holdings, from 14th December before going network wide on 15th February 2021, sees players faced with three layers of symbols which they must clear through in order to reach the Orb and the treasures within.
When a win occurs, the symbols involved in the win are removed and new symbols are unveiled underneath. Wilds are available on levels one and two while level three is where the Bonus symbols are found and where the bonus games can be triggered.
This includes Progressive Multiplier Free Spins which are triggered when four Bonus symbols are revealed anywhere on the reels, with 10 Free Spins awarded plus an additional spin for each extra Bonus symbol that appears.
Free spins consist of infinite layers and a progressive multiplier. If players are able to reach level three within Free Spins, the Free Spins bonus is retriggered for additional 1-3 spins and once processed another symbol will reveal below the bonus symbol. The Progressive Multiplier increases by 1 before a win is paid and sees each win increase the multiplier x1 for some truly amazing wins.
If players become stuck when trying to clear the levels, then there is a chance the Orb Modifier will kick in and remove up to eight lines from the current layer to reveal the symbols below.
Orb of Osiris sits at the high end of the volatility scale and has a return to player of 94.47%. It is certified for launch in the UK, Spain, Sweden, Denmark and Malta, as well as in Canada with Loto Quebec and the British Colombia Lottery Corp.
Lloyd Butler, CEO of Live 5, said: “The team have done an incredible job with Orb of Osiris and in particular with the level system that makes players feel like they are venturing deeper and deeper into the tomb with every spin.
“The innovative math and mechanics have been combined with stunning visuals, atmospheric sound and a great range of features that ensure players have the chance to win big with every spin.
“This is one of our most complex and compelling games to date and we are delighted to see it launch exclusively with our friends at Entain before going network wide in February. We really do believe it has the potential to be one of our most successful games to date.”
Alex Ratcliffe, Head of Slots at Entain, said: “We are excited to be able to offer our customers Orb of Osiris for an exclusive period. This is the second title in our Omni series with Live 5 and the way the team have married rich graphics with engaging game mechanics makes this an attractive prospect.
“At Entain everything we aim to do is, ‘For the good of entertainment’ and we expect Orb of Osiris to both entertain and excite our players.”

NEW YORK ISLANDERS REPRESENTATIVE ERIK ‘EKI’ TAMMENPAA EARNS HIS SIXTH EUROPEAN TITLE AT THE EA SPORTS NHL 24 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP
In a rematch of last year’s European Championship, Erik ‘Eki’ Tammenpää, representing the New York Islanders, again prevailed over Teemu ‘Temppanen’ Karvonen representing the Anaheim Ducks to win the EA SPORTS NHL 24 European Championship title. The win marks Eki’s fourth-straight and sixth-overall European Championship title (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) and another $15,000 USD in earnings. Temppanen placed second in the competition that took place at the Copenhagen Media Facility in Copenhagen, Denmark on Sunday evening. For a second year straight, both players will represent Europe in the EA SPORTS NHL 24 World Championship taking place in April in New York.
Eki is a full-time YouTube and Twitch content creator and EA SPORTS™ NHL® 24 expert and 24-year-old native of Helsinki, Finland. He remains the most decorated esports player on the NHL competitive circuit and will try once again to capture the World title after capturing runner up at last year’s EA SPORTS NHL 23 World Final.
During the competition in Copenhagen today, Temppanen and Eki qualified for a spot in the World Final by competing in a semifinal best-of-three round. Both players split their first two games, with Temppanen ultimately overtaking NikkeDanglesin a tight competition and Eki defeating Eken45Jr with eight goals in a Game Three shutout.
The Championship series saw a rematch of last year’s EA SPORTS NHL 23 European Final with Temppanen and EKI facing off once again. While Temppanen took the lead with an early goal in Game One, Eki scored three quick goals in a three-minute span during the second period and a game-winning goal in the third period by Vincent Trocheck (New York Rangers). Eki continued his goal streak and dominated Game Two, ultimately scoring six unanswered goals, including tallies from Jaccob Slavin (Carolina Hurricanes), Bo Horvat(New York Islanders), and Cam Atkinson (Philadelphia Flyers). Eki’s
6-0 victory solidified his sixth European title and status as “the one to beat.”

TWO PAGCOR MULTI-PURPOSE FACILITIES INAUGURATED IN TARLAC
Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco on Monday, March 18, led the inauguration of two newly completed multi-purpose centers in the towns of San Manuel and Victoria in the province of Tarlac.
Mr. Tengco said the state gaming agency provided a total of Php100 million for both of the two-story projects.
“Naglaan ang PAGCOR ng limampung milyong piso para sa bawat multi-purpose center sa bayan ng San Manuel at Victoria; mayroon itong iba’t ibang pasilidad gaya ng kusina, storage areas para sa relief goods, toilet at shower rooms, lactating rooms at maluwag na activity area para sa iba’t ibang gawain,” he said.
The PAGCOR chief said that because the Philippines is very vulnerable to climate change, “typhoons, floods and earthquakes are common occurrences that we must always be prepared for.”
However, he stressed that while the buildings are primarily designed as temporary shelters during emergencies, the structures can be used for various socio-civic activities, too.
“During the height of the pandemic, when the project was rolled out, there was a high demand for quarantine and evacuation facilities. But now, there is more sense to call these as multi-purpose centers rather than just evacuation facilities,” Chairman Tengco said.
“You may use this facility as your social hall, events area, and livelihood training center. You may also use this building to generate revenues for the local government,” he said.
During the event, Chairman Tengco also introduced PAGCOR’s upcoming flagship programs which include school buildings for public schools, e-learning centers, community wellness centers, and socio civic centers nationwide.
“These upcoming flagship projects are designed to create lasting impact on the lives of ordinary Filipinos,” he said. “These are just some of our nation-building efforts because as you are all aware, PAGCOR is the third largest revenue contributor to the national coffers.”
San Manuel Mayor Doña Cresencia Tesoro thanked the PAGCOR chief for the agency’s support.
“We are grateful that PAGCOR saw our need. This multi-purpose center is so far the biggest project that we have seen in San Manuel, and this is proof of PAGCOR’s commitment to serve the Filipinos,” she said.
“We thank everyone who made this dream come to life. Rest assured that we will use this to enrich the lives of our people and the generations to come,” Tesoro added.
Board Member Harmes Sembrano of the 2nd District of Tarlac also expressed gratitude to PAGCOR for funding the two-story multi-purpose facility in Victoria.
“With our limited resources, we cannot afford to fund all programs that will be beneficial to the people of Tarlac. But because of PAGCOR’s help, we have this new multi-purpose facility which will serve not only the locals of Victoria but also those from neighboring towns,” Sembrano said.
PAGCOR has thus far completed and inaugurated 38 multi-purpose buildings in different parts of the country while 34 others are still under construction.
