Up6Timer slot brings wins to Netherlands-based online casinos

Having already made significant in-roads into the nascent Dutch casino market last year, sought-after software provider Stakelogic is picking up right where it left off in 2022 with the release of a Netherlands exclusive in Up6Timer.

The new slot, which fuses the look and feel of a classic fruit machine with a range of modern features, boasts an unusual reel matrix that enables players to manually adjust both the number of reels and the total number of paylines. Starting off as a classic 3×3 slot with five paylines, players can increase their number of games up to six times, extending the layout to a huge eight reels and 30 ways to win.

Reel symbols to feature in Up6Timer include orange, plum, lemon, pear, raspberry and watermelon fruit icons as well as classic slot staples like crowns and lucky red sevens. The joker symbol awards the game’s top payout whenever three or more appear on a currently active payline, with this special icon also becoming increasingly important when the slot’s Super Stake™ option is selected.

Something of a hallmark of Stakelogic slots, Super Stake™ is a fan favourite game mode that allows players to enable additional features for an optional bet of 2x their stake. In Up6Timer, Super Stake is only available when all eight reels are selected, but should players decide to activate it, any joker symbols that appear during a spin will award an instant mystery prize that could be worth up to 100x.

As a final incentive for players, any regular wins that are collected during Up6Timer’s base game can be boosted in a classic gamble feature. Here, players will be prompted to predict whether a virtual coin will land on heads or tails, with correct guesses doubling their prize and multiple rounds available.

Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic said: “Stakelogic has enjoyed major success in the Netherlands since the Dutch igaming market opened last year – and for that reason we’re delighted to be able to offer players in the country an exclusive new release.

“Up6Timer offers all the instant-play appeal of a classic fruit machine, but kicks the action up a level with the addition of multiple reels and Super Stake™. We’re sure the game will prove a popular release at all of our Dutch online casino partners.”
