Stakelogic continues Italy push with Tuko tie-up
Provider’s slot and live dealer content now available to operators in the fast-growing market via leading aggregator
Stakelogic has significantly increased its reach in the thriving Italian market after shaking hands on a deal with the content aggregator, Tuko Productions. The agreement will see the studio’s classic and video slots, plus titles from its Stakelogic Live division, be made available to more operators than ever before.
Stakelogic is already active in the Italian market, but the partnership will boost the distribution of its content among some of the biggest operator brands in the business. This includes the likes of Goldbet, Lottomatica and Snai, all of which are powered by Tuko’s aggregation platform.
So what will these operators and the others working with Tuko Productions now be able to offer their players?
The first is a suite of classic slots that have been designed to appeal to purist players while engaging those that like fast-action gameplay. This is achieved by combining classic fruit symbols, as well as Bells, BARs and 7s, with bonus features such as Wilds, Multipliers and Free Spins.
Classic titles include Multi6Player, Multi Player, Bonus Runner, Runner Runner Megaways and Big Runner Deluxe.
Players in Italy are also being warned to buckle up for the thrill ride that Stakelogic’s video slots provide with each spin. Titles like Money Track, Treasures of Ra, Spartans vs Zombies MegawaysTM and just launched Greedy Fox combine striking visuals with booming sound and highly volatile gameplay to deliver an online slot experience like no other.
Many of these games come hooked up to Stakelogic’s flagship innovation, Super Stake. This allows players to effectively double their bet to increase the chance of a bonus triggering and mega win combinations landing.
The deal with Tuko Productions also includes a portfolio of live titles from Stakelogic Live, which has quickly become a must-have provider for operators looking to offer their players the best live content in the market.
Stakelogic Live has earned a reputation for the quality of its games, which provide an authentic casino floor experience but with added glitz and glamour. Its live titles cover roulette, blackjack and gameshow.
Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic, said: “We have been growing our presence in the Italian market but this integration with Tuko Productions takes this to the next level. It provides access to some of the biggest operators and brands in the market, and we are thrilled to see of classic and video slots land in their lobbies for the first time. Our games really do offer a unique player experience that will have players in Italy saying molto bene from the first game round to the last.”
Richard Walker, Head of Live Casino at Stakelogic Live, added: “Operators absolutely must stock live content in their lobbies and our titles are proven to provide a premium player experience at all times. This is a great partnership with Tuko, allowing operators in Italy to quickly add our live dealer games to their lobbies.”
Vincenzo Tancredi, Sales Director at Tuko Productions, said: “What makes us the go-to aggregator for Italian operators is the quality and diversity of our game portfolio and this deal with Stakelogic and Stakelogic Live adds major firepower to our offering. Its games are topping the charts in Italy and beyond, and operators absolutely must offer its games to their players. That we can now do that for our partners further establishes Tuko as the leading content provider in Italy.”

Nolimit City kick flips onto the scene with their latest release – Skate Or Die
Nolimit City shreds its way into the skate world with Skate Or Die. Chad a.k.a Plantface is determined to make it to the big leagues even if that means breaking some bones in the process! Venturing into new and unique themes is nothing new to Nolimit City who have done the same thing in the past, with releases such as Loner and Road Rage.
Skate Or Die takes players to various skate spots they may or may not be familiar with. From an abandoned pool to the boneyard, this game has it all. Not only do the scenes change the dynamics of the game but so do the features. xBet® guarantees a Scatter symbol on the 2nd reel. The Extra Sauce Row at the top of the reels takes this game to the next level by introducing multipliers that connect to xNudge® Wild and xZone™ Wild symbols present on the reels. xZone™ applies any multipliers on the Extra Sauce Row to adjacent symbols, making its comeback since the release of Gluttony 1 year ago. xNudge® Wilds picks up any multiplier that it nudges across that has been affected by xZone™ Multipliers.
It’s always about the next best trick and Scatter symbols allow players to do that. 3 Scatter Symbols will trigger Face Plant Spins where a guaranteed xZone™ WIld symbol Lands on every spin. 4 Scatter Symbols will trigger Dead Meat Spins where 2 guaranteed xZone™ Wilds land on every spin. 5 Scatter Symbols will trigger Boneyard Spins where 2 guaranteed xZone™ Wilds land on every spin and in addition to this xNudge® Wild and xNudge® Wild Supreme Symbols regularly land on the reels.
Speaking of xNudge® Wild Supremes, these bad boys only show up in Boneyard Spins, where they stack up every multiplier from the Extra Sauce Row for some truly gnarly wins.
Nolimit City decided to break all the boundaries of slots with their brand-new xMechanic – xCrash™! xCrash™ introduces crash game elements into Nolimit City slots, Skate Or Die being the first of many to include this mechanic. This new mechanic can be found in the Crasher Game which can be triggered by; landing the Crasher Game Symbol within the base game, opting to bet any win over 30x or buying it within the Nolimit Bonus Buy menu.
In the Crasher Game, Chad launches himself off a cliff in his final (and most brutal) trick. The longer he falls, the higher the multiplier climbs – from 30x up to a maximum payout of 30,000x the base bet. But be warned – crash hard, and both Chad and your payout plummet. It is rated as “Extremely Volatile” as the Crasher Game is a high-risk gamble that players have come to expect from the provider and will no doubt produce plenty of max wins!
Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “Chad’s got the same dream every skater chases—to hit the big leagues, no matter how many bones he breaks along the way. He’s throwing down everything he’s got in Skate or Die, skating through epic spots and landing trick after trick, even if it means a few trips to the ER. And let’s not forget the Crasher Game—it’s been in the works for a while, and we’re hyped to see players take the plunge and see if they can survive the fall!“
‘Skate Or Die’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on September 10th, 2024.
