RubyPlay reimagines slots provision with innovative Immortal Ways mechanic
RubyPlay, an innovative B2B iGaming development studio, has launched a unique slots mechanic entitled Immortal Ways, providing operators and their players with a new gaming franchise to explore.
Combining a variety of well-known mechanics, Immortal Ways complements and conflicts these models to deliver an innovative gameplay never before seen. It features 10,000 ways to win, with two Hold and Respin zones central to the gameplay.
RubyPlay’s latest release, Immortal Ways: Diamonds, is the first to incorporate the mechanic. During any spin, special gold Coin symbols can land in these Arrays, holding for three further spins or until an Immortal Array is completely filled with Coins. This will pay out each value attached to the Coins, relative to a player’s bet.
Landing a Coin Wheel symbol in either Array will trigger a Prize Wheel to the left or right of the grid, where prizes including one of four jackpots and instant cash prizes could be won.
RubyPlay has ambitious plans to build Immortal Ways into a major slots series, with at least seven exciting new titles incorporating the mechanic to launch later this year. The company is also developing bespoke games for several operators, demonstrating the company’s ability to provide differentiated content for partners upon request.
The debut of Immortal Ways has already been well-received by players across several jurisdictions, setting new records for RubyPlay in overall bets, session lengths and retention rates.
Dr. Eyal Loz, CPO of RubyPlay, said: “We’re extremely excited to debut Immortal Ways, the product of much hard work and innovation from the RubyPlay team. This mechanic presents an entirely new and unique way to enjoy slots, with Immortal Ways: Diamonds seeing a fantastic reception since its launch.
“This release features 10,000 ways to win, with large symbol stacks and persistent coins combining for monster winning potential.
“We’re already developing the next range of titles within this new game series, dominating our product roadmap for the remainder of 2023. It’s a volatile and rewarding experience, and we’re sure it’ll be an immortal player go-to!”

Commenting on the improved schedule, Terry Mahoney, Head of Business Development at ARC, said: “The new race times will help make it easier for customers to navigate busy racing schedules as well as improving operations trackside. We will continue to listen, monitor, and adapt schedules where and when needed as we move forward to deliver the best service possible for betting operators as well as punters.”
Paul Witten, Managing Director at SIS, added: “We are passionate about delivering a greyhound racing service that benefits all of the sport’s stakeholders. Together with Premier Greyhound Raxing, we have introduced a revised racing schedule that benefits operators and their customers.
“Our approach to greyhound racing is grounded in sustainability and flexibility. This collaboration with fellow service providers allows everyone to enjoy all the high-quality action produced on a daily basis from tracks across the UK and Ireland.”
SIS has long-term agreements in place with bet365, William Hill, Paddy Power and Betfred to deliver its greyhound content across UK and Irish retail and digital channels. SIS also promotes this content across dozens of leading international operators, as well as through SISRacing.tv.

PRAGMATIC PLAY HITS THE SWEET SPOT WITH FRUITY TREATS
Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has added Fruity Treats to its collection of clusters pays Slots.
Five or more fruit symbols must connect horizontally or vertically to award a win in this vibrant 7×7 title, which features a variation of the popular multiplier spots mechanic.
At the start of each spin, four marked spots of different colours take up random positions on the grid. If a win forms over a marked spot, a starting multiplier of 5x, 10x, 15x or 20x (depending on the spot colour) will be activated. Each time a winning combination lands on a marked spot after a tumble, the multiplier is applied to the win and then increases by its starting value.
Hitting at least three candy scatters on a spin awards entry to the bonus game with 10 free spins. During the feature, which can be retriggered with five additional free spins, activated multipliers from marked spots do not reset between free spins, potentially leading to massive wins.
Fruity Treats is the latest cluster pays Slot in Pragmatic Play’s multi-award-winning range, joining recent hit Sugar Rush 1000.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “The roaming multiplier spots feature in Fruity Treats sets it apart from other successful cluster pays Slots in the Pragmatic Play portfolio, with marked spots staying sticky in the bonus game for even greater win potential.”
Pragmatic Play currently produces up to eight new Slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through a single API.
