Leading iGaming publisher Yggdrasil is reeling in the nets to reveal multiplier mayhem in its feature-filled, fish-focused slot Nice Catch 2 DoubleMax™.
This highly anticipated sequel can see players win up to 10,000x by way of a Hold & Spin bonus, free spins, Fish symbols and the popular DoubleMax mechanic.
Whenever the Diver lands on the 6th reel and chest symbols are in view the Hold and Spin bonus will trigger. This awards three spins with any chest symbols resetting the count. Landing a full reel of chests will activate the multiplier, which is doubled if the Diver reappears.
If three or more bonus symbols land on the reels players will receive at least eight free spins. Players can opt to gamble for more spins immediately after the bonus is triggered. Should a Fisherman or Diver land on the reels during free spins, an additional spin is awarded and the multiplier prize is doubled for the duration of the feature.
Fish symbols can land on any reel and have a value ranging from 1x the bet to 100x the bet. Fish prizes are only collected by the fisherman on reel five. Landing these from left to right on consecutive reels will unlock the DoubleMax multiplier. The DoubleMax multiplier is unlimited and will apply to all wins during that spin.
Players can jump straight into the bonus game by paying 100x their bet to trigger free spins with three or more bonus symbols, or 500x to trigger 20 guaranteed free spins.
Mark McGinley, Chief Gaming Officer at Yggdrasil, said: “Following up from our angling adventure, Nice Catch 2 DoubleMax takes everything that made the original great and adds a number of lucrative features and mechanics such as the Hold and Spin bonus, to truly make it a fishing fiesta for all.”

Portuguese start-up FootAR is enhancing the Euro 2024 experience with AR tracking and smart data

With the summer of football heating up, FootAR is showing how live sports can be enhanced with augmented reality. It has created a real-time companion that gamifies the sports experience and emulates player movements with 3D foosball-like figures, adding smart stats and prizes for fans.
FootAR has already made its mark in Portugal, where two notable media organisations have integrated it into their coverage. GMG (Jornal de Notícias) and SportsMultimedia (VSports) use FootAR to bring a 3D experience to Euro 2024 fans.
FootAR is one of 22 companies in the Portuguese games development and creative industries cluster eGamesLab. This ambitious R&D project led out of Madeira aims to attract and develop new talent and technology focused on the growing national video game industry.
FootAR’s platform went live earlier this year. The initial rollout covered Portuguese league games, partnering with some of the biggest Portuguese clubs like SC Braga and CD Nacional before expanding to cover all the matches at Euro 2024. It offers real-time statistics, in-depth analysis, and seamless integration for news outlets covering live games on their websites.
Fans can relive every goal, track every pass, and stay connected to the game with real-time updates and AR-enhanced visuals. The technology allows fans to rewatch the most significant moments in a live game and view them from multiple angles, together with an accompanying audio commentary.
“We understand the insatiable appetite for football data and the desire to go beyond the final score,” says David Olim, Co-Founder of FootAR. “FootAR empowers fans to delve deeper into the action, following their favourite players, teams, and leagues, and is the perfect way for enthusiasts to analyse the beautiful game – but that’s just the start. As a father of two young children, my goal is to shape how younger generations immerse themselves in these communal experiences. Looking to the future, our interests go way beyond sports. We are starting with football, but within five years, we will have personalised experiences for clubs, artists, and brands to build their own interactive events.
Key Features:
Augmented Reality – relive the match’s key moments from multiple angles through 3D AR visuals, and get closer to the action with real-time data overlays to follow the game how you want to.
Custom Data Suite – access in-depth statistics for players and teams such as expected goals, pass accuracy and tackles lost. In-game notifications can be customised, ensuring key moments in the game are never missed..
Audio Commentary – FoorAR can sync with local radio broadcasts, creating a combination of live commentary and live data which really brings events to life.
With FootAR, new avenues for monetizing audience engagement and sponsors are available to media companies and clubs looking for a solution to drive greater fan engagement, as well as opening up new revenue streams through in-game activations.
Fans can transform their football experience today by downloading FootAR for free on Android and iOS and using the Web/Desktop app. Apple VisionPro and Meta Quest versions of the experience are also being developed and will be released in Q3 2024.
