NetGame releases Fruit Cash Hold ‘n’ Link slot

NetGame Entertainment, one of iGaming’s foremost casino software providers, has released its galaxy-inspired slot game – Fruit Cash Hold ‘n’ Link.
Players will feel the gravitational pull towards this fruit game thanks to the Golden Star Wild symbol, multiple Jackpots and two separate Scatters which trigger two Bonus games.
The first Bonus game is Free Spins which is activated by the Crown symbol. If players reveal three or more Scatter symbols then they are gifted six Free Spins. Just high and special symbols are available in the Free Spins bonus and they can be re-triggered when you hit another three or more Scatters from a spin.
This game will be an instant classic thanks to the Hold ‘n’ Link Bonus feature. Players can activate this feature by finding six or more Burning Spheres within the Basic or Free Spins game. The six already found Spheres remain in place and each has its pay-out value displayed.
Players receive three Free Respins right at the start of the Hold ‘n’ Link Bonus. Each extra Sphere Symbol that appears from a respin stays until the end and resets players’ respins counter to three. The bonus game only finishes when players run out of free respins or when all 15 positions have been filled with Spheres.
Total payouts from the bonus are calculated by the value displayed on the Sphere and then the selection of Mini, Minor or Major bonuses – which are 30x, 150x or 300x the total bet respectively. If 15 Spheres cover the reels then the Grand Jackpot is won, paying out a huge 1500x total bet.
NetGame Entertainment’s Head of Business Development, Andrey Vajdyuk, said: “Fruit Cash Hold ‘n’ Link showcases our commitment to creating exhilarating player experiences. We are particularly proud of the Sphere bonus where players will have a burning desire to win it all.”

Massive News for the Esports Industry with Potential Inclusion in the Commonwealth Games

Esports is one of the fastest growing industries in the world and there’s no limit to how big it could become. It’s already breached a valuation of $1 billion, and it’s expected to grow to $13.05 billion by 2025.
One of the greatest indicators that competitive gaming is going mainstream is the fact that it has been recognised by the Commonwealth Games. Indeed, it is expected to be included when the event takes place in Victoria in 2026.
Test Run Has Already Taken Place
A few years ago, the thought of seeing Esports at the Commonwealth Games would have been laughable. Now, it is a realistic prospect. It was recently reported that a dry run of the Commonwealth Esports Championships was held in Birmingham, England, at the 2022 Commonwealth Games to see if this type of competitive action could be included as an official event in 2026. It went well and garnered positive feedback from the people involved.
The Victoria edition of the Commonwealth Games is set to take place in 2026, with 16 sports already confirmed. However, the organisers are hoping to add more to the schedule with Esports being strongly considered. Competitive gaming has proven to be a popular spectator sport, with more people tuning in to watch it every year. By 2026, there could be close to a billion people watching Esports, meaning that it would be a popular inclusion at a major event.
Esports has been referred to as the “new sporting frontier,” and it wouldn’t be surprising to see it gaining even more credibility in the next decade. Even the world’s biggest traditional sports had to start somewhere. Football and cricket are now well-established and loved the world over, and there’s nothing stopping Esports from following a similar trajectory.
How Will This Affect Related Industries?
With the Commonwealth Games set to take place in Australia next time, the country could be in a prime position to capitalise on the inclusion of Esports. Part of the success of competitive gaming up to this point has been thanks to related industries pushing it, along with big name companies striking sponsorship deals. Australian companies, therefore, will most certainly seek to capitalise in 2026.
The betting industry was built around traditional sports, and it is now a behemoth industry around the world. In Australia, online betting is so popular that there are countless sites vying for bettors’ attention. Indeed, there are so many to sift through that people turn to comparison sites that list the best ones based on their offers and ratings. Bettors simply scroll through and then click a link to be taken directly to a site.
Many of these online sportsbooks are already offering eSports betting, and the number of markets available is only set to rise in the future. When the Commonwealth Games rolls around, betting sites could benefit from special offers. They may also start to have a greater focus on Esports, thus drawing more attention to the competitive gaming industry.
Esports at the Commonwealth Games isn’t just huge news for the industry itself, but it’s a great move for related industries. Australian companies are set to benefit in 2026, with the betting industry being in a particularly strong position to take advantage.
