The provider delivers an exotic experience with Club Tropicana

Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, is shaking up the marketplace with its latest release, Club Tropicana™.

Inspired by exotic drinks, fruit, inflatables and umbrellas are depicted as the symbols in this 5×4 slot. Players will be aiming to create matching combinations across the title’s 12 paylines to be awarded a win.

Money symbols also appear on the reels with instant cash prizes attached to them, however, they can only be unlocked in the free spins round. Awarded for landing at least three scatter symbols in the base game, 10 free spins are initially unlocked and additional scatters award extra spins up to a maximum of 20.

Here, a wild is added to the reels which collects all instant cash prizes on the game board. Every fourth wild collected unlocks a retrigger granting 10 additional spins and an incrementally increasing multiplier of up to 10x in total.

This slot release follows hot on the heels of recent hits like Fire Archer™ ,Monster Superlanche™ and Fish Eye™ which reside amongst a collection of over 300 unique titles in Pragmatic Play’s award-winning games portfolio.

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “In need of a highly volatile vacation? Then look no further than Club Tropicana™ where vibrant aesthetics are only outshone by the big win potential in our colourful new slot.

“Showcasing fan favourite mechanics seen in hit titles like Big Bass Bonanza™, Club Tropicana™ has a free spins round where players upgrade multipliers and retrigger free spins by collecting instant cash prizes which culminate in some huge wins. Additionally, there is a 4,000x instant cash prize found on the reels that truly demonstrates the volatility we have packed into this release.”

Blueprint Gaming’s ever-popular 7’s series of slots is back with a dual addition of big win potential in 7’s Deluxe Fire Wheel Jackpot King.

The classic fruits, bar and 7 symbols are back on a 3×3 reel set where matching combinations must be formed to claim wins. Flaming 7s act as a wild which substitutes for regular 7s while a whole window of the same fruit triggers the Fire Wheel.

In a classic wheel of fortune style, the Fire Wheel then spins and can multiply the initial win by up to 10x offering players the chance for huge wins.

Blueprint’s industry-leading Jackpot King system adds an extra layer of big win potential and creates another exciting title to expand the range of games through which players can land huge sums.

Jo Purvis, Director of Key Accounts and Marketing UK at Blueprint Gaming, said: “7’s Deluxe Fire Wheel Jackpot King is another dose of classic slots play and the action is augmented by the winning possibilities brought by the Fire Wheel and Jackpot King. It’s another flaming hot entry in the game family that is certain to raise temperatures as the prize pots climb.”
