As slot developers continue to diversify the market with new releases on a variety of themes and with varied features, Iron Dog Studio has brought out the Wolf Strike game. It joins an increasing number of online slots based on wolves, but what type of gameplay does it offer players?

The Basic Details

This is a five-reel slot with three rows of symbols showing animals like buffalos and deer, while the wolf is the highest-paying symbol as well as being the wild symbol. The background is a natural setting, with shooting stars occasionally lighting up the sky. Wins are created over 20 fixed paylines.

Free spins are triggered by getting three or more scatters at once. The golden nugget symbol activates the other major bonus, when at least two nuggets appear together with a wild, causing the wild to expand and collect the prize values noted on each of the chunks of gold.

Six nuggets are needed to give players access to the Hold and Win feature. In this case, three spins are initially awarded, with the nuggets held in place during them. The total value of the nuggets on the screen is added up at the end, with a 2x multiplier applied to it.

The RTP is listed as 96.11% and it’s a medium volatility slot. There are also three jackpots, known as mini, minor and major, which are paid out when three, four or five strike nuggets with no cash value on them land on the screen.

The Future of Iron Dog Studio

The developers at this gaming studio have been busy lately, with Book of Ba’al another recent slot brought out by this brand. This game is based on the ever-popular Egyptian theme and lets players collect books to trigger a free spin. It followed on from other recent releases on various diverse themes, such as Solar Nova and 1 Million Megaways BC.

Iron Dog is listed by Sportingtech as one of the providers they use on their platform, joining big names like BGT, Blueprint Gaming and Quickspin. With over 70 global clients, this platform is an example of how Iron Dog slots now reach a wide audience. This platform provides an existing platform for casino providers to use, which will make it a competitive offering against others.

In terms of their upcoming games, we can expect more slots to follow in the footsteps of Book of Ba’al, as they are said to be looking to create a ‘book of’ range covering different themes. This company also produces table games and scratchcards, although they don’t appear to be focusing heavily on those areas just now as their latest releases have all been slots.

This latest addition from Iron Dog adds to the range of wolf-based games that use this creature to create an exciting theme. This is another reason to keep an eye on this game developer, who has proven to be among the most interesting companies in the betting industry right now. As part of the 1×2 Network, Iron Dog now be classed as one of the leading slot developers, with a large collection of games based on a wide variety of themes

  • Ventures division of the ZEAL Group leads 1 million Euro investment round of British prize draw start-up
  • Existing angel investors are also participating in the financing round

 

ZEAL has led a financing round in the successful UK prize gaming platform DAYMADE at a valuation of 12 million Euro via its Ventures division. In addition to ZEAL Ventures, other existing investors – several business angels with decades of experience in the gaming industry – are also participating in the round. DAYMADE will use the new funds to further scale its UK business.

ZEAL Ventures has been invested in DAYMADE since 2019 and has supported the successful British start-up in recent years not only financially, but also through ongoing advisory in areas such as strategy, regulation, marketing and organization.

DAYMADE: A British Success Story

DAYMADE was founded in 2019 with the aim of revolutionizing prize draws. The British start-up offers players the chance to win holidays, unforgettable experiences, and lifestyle prizes, while supporting a good cause.  Through a partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects, a tree is planted with every purchase. With this innovative concept, the company’s offering appeals particularly to a younger generation of adults. Its success is also reflected in the financials: DAYMADE has increased its revenue by nearly 10x in the last four years. This growth has been achieved at sustainable, attractive unit economics (revenue and costs per player). The company also achieved profitability in 2023.

Cooperation with potential

“We are delighted to once again support the DAYMADE team with a significant investment,” says Juliane Gutsmiedl, Investment Manager at ZEAL Ventures. “For several years now, we have been observing a trend towards prize games, which are particularly popular with younger target groups such as millennials and adults in Generation Z. Companies like DAYMADE are therefore significantly contributing to shaping the future of the gaming industry. For this reason, we are delighted to continue our collaboration with DAYMADE and to continue exchanging ideas on a new gaming and entertainment experience.”

“We are thrilled to have ZEAL Ventures on board again”, says Andrew Broekelmann, CEO of DAYMADE. “Their continued support is a huge vote of confidence in our mission to re-imagine prize-based draws for a new generation of players. This funding will fuel our growth and product innovation in the UK. And it doesn’t stop there – as DAYMADE grows, so does our ability to make a real difference. With over 1.3 million trees planted through our charity partners, we’re just as committed to our planet as we are to our players. We look forward to making a greater impact, together.”

COSY UP WITH WILD WINS AND MAGIC MULTIPLIERS IN LUCKY CUSHIONS BY BOLDPLAY

Published

on

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Get ready to put your feet up and ease into a world of cascading wins in Lucky Cushions by Boldplay – the brand-new cluster pays slot where perfect pillow placement can result in players landing consecutive wins on each and every spin!

Played across an expanded 8×8 gameboard, action takes place in front of a cosy backdrop littered with colourful cushions and players will need to put together clusters of matching icons to trigger a symbol cascade. Whenever this happens, all cushions featured in the cluster will be removed from play as new ones drop from above to fill their place, potentially creating additional payouts.

What makes Lucky Cushions comfortably stand out from other cluster pays slots, however, is its exciting bonus features. Firstly, on each new round, players will notice that one non-wild icon will be selected at random to receive an additional multiplier. Any cluster wins that this special symbol appears in will see the regular win boosted by the multiplier value for even better rewards.

On top of that, the game’s wild symbol not only substitutes for all regular icons to complete winning clusters, but when it does, all matching cushions elsewhere on the reels will also be removed, potentially triggering an improved cascade. This effect can also stack after each new cascade, with players able to land consecutive wins on each game round.

To make those well-furnished wins even easier to come by, whenever a spin takes place where no clusters appear and there’s a matching symbol in one of the adjacent reel spaces, it will magically swap positions to complete a cluster and give players an additional chance to start a cascade.

Speaking on this cosy new addition to the Boldplay slot catalogue, Head of Design, Marcus Taylor said: “With its cascading reels, wild wins and big-money multipliers, Lucky Cushions is comfortably the most exciting cluster pays slot we’ve developed so far and we think players are going to love settling in for a session where multiple prizes are available on each and every spin.

“Featuring an expanded 8×8 gameboard, second-chance wins and a pair of rewarding in-reel bonus features, Lucky Cushions is an innovative addition to our line-up that’s perfectly optimised for mobile devices, making it’s a must-have title for all online operators who offer Boldplay slots.”
