Games Global set to reel in players with Fishin’ Pots of GoldTM: Gold BlitzTM
Games Global has harnessed the power of its exclusive studio network as Gameburger Studios employs Fortune Factory Studios’ hugely successful Gold Blitz™ mechanic in its upcoming slot Fishin’ Pots of Gold™: Gold Blitz™.
Debuting in Fortune Factory Studio’s Mask of Amun, the mechanic’s breakout success came in the December 2022 game release of the same name. Gold Blitz™ has since blown away the competition, continuing its top-of-the-charts-reign across the Games Global portfolio as well as market-wide. This player favourite game ranks top across multiple metrics, with follow-up title Blazing Bison Gold Blitz™ close behind.
Fortune Factory Studios went on to release additional titles with the newly iconic mechanic and is now welcoming Gameburger Studios to become the first provider to use the game feature. Additional studios are now set to follow in their footsteps and integrate Fortune Factory’s innovative mechanic into upcoming titles.
Through enabling this ground-breaking deal, Games Global opens the door for future arrangements within its studio network and beyond.
Gameburger Studios takes to the water in its first Gold Blitz™ foray with Fishin’ Pots of Gold™: Gold Blitz™, due for release 22 August. This Irish-themed, six-reel slot sees the loveable leprechaun Lucky Lad Flynn return to guide players towards 4,096 ways to win, landing instant cash collections, jackpots, and wild multiplier free spins along the way.
Taking all the player-favourite elements of the revolutionary mechanic, the game amplifies the Gold Blitz™ experience to new levels, pairing it with one of Gameburger’s top-performing brands to supercharge engagement.
When Flynn appears on reels one and six during the base gameplay or within the Gold Blitz™ feature, he reels in cash prizes and jackpots worth up to a whopping 2,500x the bet.
Three or more bonus symbols appearing allows players to choose to play up to 30 free spins with stacks of ultrahigh pay symbols and multiplier wilds. Or they can pick to play up to seven Gold Blitz™ super spins for a guaranteed cash haul, with Flynn guaranteed to land stacks of rewards.
Players can even choose to plunge right into the bonus action with the Bonus Buy feature.
Poised to make a splash globally from 22 August, Fishin Pots of Gold™ Gold Blitz is available exclusively via Games Global’s leading iGaming platform.
Andrew Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “We are constantly looking for fresh ways for our studios to collaborate, employing their unique and diverse talents to enhance our offering to customers. Combining the incredible appeal of both the Gold BlitzTM mechanic and the iconic Fishin’ Pots brand, Fishin Pots of Gold™: Gold Blitz™ has the potential to blow the competition out of the water, providing a rewarding experience for players and marketable product for operators.
“Being able to facilitate such a game-changing arrangement between two talented studios is incredibly exciting, paving the way for powerful future partnerships, and even more captivating and successful gameplay experiences.”

Realistic Games introduces endless spins in Maxiplier
Maxiplier combines a retro-inspired theme with revolutionary gameplay. Speedometer-style icons, on reels two and four, act as both wilds and multipliers that can increase wins up to 20x. Land two of these multipliers simultaneously for a potential max multiplier of 400x.

Has mobile gaming continued to grow in 2024?
Here in the United Kingdom, it’s estimated that around 86% of us used a smartphone to go online and browse the internet last year. If you compare this to 2009, this is an increase of a staggering 58%. A study also found that 39% of people with smartphones use them for gaming. And so if you look at the trend year over year, it is certain that statistics in all areas of smartphone usage are going to keep increasing. By the time we reach 2025, experts have predicted that around 65 million of us here in the UK will be smartphone users. Today, we’re going to look at mobile gaming and how much that has grown last year and this year, as well as what the future holds.
Building momentum
From 2022 to 2023, the mobile gaming industry saw a year-on-year growth of 0.6%. There is no doubt that the demand for mobile gaming is continuing to grow. With millions being spent both on the games themselves, on in-app purchases, and also on nettcasino. The reason that we are seeing this growth is that smartphones and their capabilities are continuously growing. All of the tasks that we traditionally used to rely on a computer for are now able to be done mostly on a smartphone. This practicality and accessibility have meant that more people will now do most of their tasks on a smartphone.
Each year, it gets harder and harder for game developers to make the most of their latest inventions. Each day, new games get uploaded to the respective app markets, either on the Play Store or the App Store. This means that the marketplace gets more and more crowded, presenting more competition than ever before to developers. And it’s for this reason that consumers, more than ever before, are prioritising quality over quantity. They have more choice, but they don’t want to spend hours hunting through the apps. They will typically read reviews and go for a game that is highly rated and has top quality.
On the topic of developers, as they are seeing the increase in mobile gaming, including in 2024, they are starting to pivot their focus to cross-platform capability. Allowing those gaming on smartphones to play against their console- and PC-based counterparts. The reason this is such a big focus is that one thing that gamers love to do is play with their friends. But some of them may not have a console, for example. But if a game is available across multiple platforms, it then expands its player base.
A lot of people also drew to mobile gaming, as it gave them an opportunity to start gaming and playing at online casinos. It also meant that they could socialise either with their friends or with other players. This social aspect, for some, is hugely important. For those who don’t particularly go out, having a community and a shared interest and passion in a mobile game can be really great for their mental health and can help them grow as a person and in confidence.
In Summary
To conclude, it will be interesting to see what the rest of 2024 brings for the mobile gaming industry. Each previous year has brought along different trends. And this ever-changing and growing landscape also means that game developers are constantly having to change their strategies in order to stay competitive and keep growing their player bases. One thing we can guarantee for certain is that the number of people with smartphones and access to the internet on said smartphones will only continue to grow.
