Games Global’s exclusive studio AreaVegas Games has launched Area Link™ Dragon, the latest title in its popular Area Link™ series that captivates players with its stunning mythical design and plethora of features.

Set against a volcanic backdrop, the 5×3 reelset is adorned with vibrant gemstones, treasure chests, and fireballs, all spinning by under the watchful eye of the dragon.

The Area Link™ feature takes centre stage, with each varying colour of fireball responsible for cracking one of the four dragon eggs, in turn triggering a unique lock and re-spin bonus round. These are activated at random when one or more fireballs land on the reels, elevating the suspense of each spin and truly enhancing the player experience.

With each bonus round, the player will be awarded three re-spins and tasked with landing as many fireball symbols as possible. Each comes with a monetary value and will remain sticky throughout the re-spins. Every time an additional fireball symbol lands, the number of re-spins will reset to three.

Cracking the green dragon egg will result in a random multiplier of x2, x3, or x5 applied to each new fireball that lands, boosting the winning potential. Activating the purple egg will reward players with an additional Area Link™ grid that plays out independently, offering more opportunities to win.

The red dragon upgrade leads to the collection of all yellow fireball symbols, while triggering the blue upgrade will see the monetary values added to every fireball symbol that lands. In addition, filling the entire grid with fireball symbols will land players the Grand Jackpot.

AreaVegas Games’ new release builds on an expanding portfolio of titles that benefit from the Area Link™ feature, including fan-favourites Area Link™ Piggy Bank, Area Link™ Phoenix, and Area Link™ Luck.

Area Link™ Dragon effortlessly blends a classic mythical theme and AreaVegas’ cutting-edge mechanics with seamless gameplay and huge winning potential, all contributing to an optimal experience to enhance the offering of Games Global’s partners.

From the founders of SpinPlay Games and inspired by the glitz, the glam, and the games of Las Vegas, AreaVegas is an up-and-coming studio that is dedicated to giving players a premium gaming experience.

Christos Fydanakis, Commercial Director at SpinPlay Games, said: “We are delighted to release the newest addition in our Area Link™ collection, which not only offers players a spectacular visual experience, but also features stimulating gameplay to match. This new title comes as an upgrade of the already successful portfolio of Area Link™ games, with a new feature added in the base game, and a brand-new math model from the founders of SpinPlay Games to ensure an amazing player journey.

“Players will enjoy the sheer number of feature variants which means every gameplay session will be unique, while the amazing animations and sounds will satisfy even the most demanding slot enthusiasts.”

Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “AreaVegas Games is renowned for its development of innovative new titles, and Area Link™ Dragon is yet another example of this.

“The Area Link™ series has already proven a success for our operators, and this addition will no doubt supplement our games portfolio further as Games Global continues to enhance its offering.”

Award-winning game development studio Evoplay has launched its latest sports-themed instant game, B-Ball Blitz, introducing a dynamic multiplier-boosting Golden Ball feature.

Following in the footsteps of its acclaimed Penalty Shoot-Out title, the game sees players select the bet amount and a country to represent in a basketball game before attempting a jump shot while avoiding defence from the opposition.

With every basket scored, a multiplier is awarded, beginning at 2x and reaching up to 32x. Players can choose to cash out at any point or take their chances against the vigilant defender to reach the maximum win after landing the ball five times.

Building upon past iterations, B-Ball Blitz brings a new twist with the introduction of the Golden Ball, which is activated at random and moves the multiplier value up two places on the game’s progress bar.

Evoplay’s latest release showcases its expanding sports-themed game capabilities, building on the success of Hockey Shootout and demonstrating a commitment to developing experiences across a variety of verticals.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “B-Ball Blitz evokes the exhilaration of courtside action and the thrill of rooting for your team. As our newest sports-themed instant game, we wanted to enhance the excitement by introducing the Golden Ball feature, which boosts the multiplier value of wins.

“Our football-themed releases have opened up exciting cross-sell opportunities for our partners, bringing sports bettors to the world of online casino, and we are confident we can now replicate this success with basketball fans.”

Greentube, the NOVOMATIC Interactive division, has introduced its latest retro title with a twist, Silver Lux: Big Win Spinner.

A classic three-reel stepper, this timeless slot is packed with thrilling modern features and a progressive jackpot for extra chances to win big amongst its nine paylines and Big Win Spinner wheel.

Players participate using credits rather than currency, with the base game played for 10 credits. Users must select the value of a single credit before the round begins to tailor the gaming experience.

Landing a combination of sevens or bar symbols awards credits with double sevens symbols substituting for single sevens symbols for bigger credit wins and multiplying the win by 2x.

When three Big Win Spinner Wild multiplier symbols land, 2000 credits are awarded, also multiplying all wins in the round by 2x.

Three Scatter Wheel symbols landing on the reels unlock the Big Win Spinner wheel feature where players can spin for the Grand or Major Silver Lux Linked progressive jackpots.

The outer wheel spins first awarding the player either a max win in credits or an upgrade to spin again on the inner wheel for the progressive jackpots if the spinner lands on the arrow. The inner Big Wheel Spinner wheel guarantees a progressive jackpot win which is paid out in currency rather than credits depending on the amount wagered by all players.

This latest entry to Greentube’s portfolio is the first of many Silver Lux titles to be released by the provider as part of a brand-new game series and it follows in the footsteps of other recent releases including Lightning Lion.

Bernd Baumert, Director of Games Production and Operations at Greentube, said: “Silver Lux: Big Win Spinner is the start of a new family for our expanding portfolio of engaging and immersive games, that we are very thrilled about.

“With the additional excitement of the progressive jackpots, we are sure players will enjoy the blend of classic slot fun alongside the modern features that this new title has to offer.”
