Kiron Interactive, a leading provider of Virtual Sports and numbers games, is gearing up to unveil an exciting lineup of new products at ICE London 2024, most notably its highly anticipated flagship football product, GOAL Premier.
As the crown jewel of Kiron’s portfolio scheduled for release in 2024, GOAL Premier, with its class-leading graphics and innovative betting options, will make its debut at the industry’s largest event in London next month, offering visitors an exclusive preview.
Poised to establish an unprecedented industry benchmark, GOAL Premier proudly showcases a significant achievement, utilising the largest-ever recorded volume of motion-capture data, brought to life by a talented cast of professional footballers, filmed in one of the movie industry’s most prolific and acclaimed international visual-effects studio.
Delivering unmatched game visuals, incorporating cutting-edge photo-realistic player movement, flawless animation, and next-gen CGI, GOAL Premier promises to add a layer of unparalleled realism that transcends what players will have experienced before.
GOAL Premier features action-packed games taking place every two minutes,, with major favourite international teams at play, and introduces innovative bet markets including first player to score, yellow card predictions, penalties in the match, and more.
These player-favourite matchups feature cinematic instant replays, shot with state-of-the-art motion capture technology, immersive sound design, and action-packed commentary narrated by a professional football commentator, well-positioned to appeal to the estimated 5 billion plus football fans worldwide.
Additionally, Kiron’s Instant Win portfolio is also set for a significant boost, with three distinctive next-generation gaming experiences that are set to deliver fresh new gameplay to the genre with new themes and features that offer true diversity.
Penguin Plunge, Crab Roulette and Roach Roulette all enjoy a launch at ICE and bring a sense of fun, with exceptional visuals and character design that marry together with ease of play to raise the engagement bar for pick-up and-play betting entertainment.
All three are a hybrid of roulette, virtual racing and loot box reveal play styles, as players race to the finish line. The races are supplemented with bonus meters to be filled, providing fantastic winning potential from the additional bonus rounds available.
Rounding off a comprehensive and significant array of major new product reveals, Kiron’s entry into the hugely popular Crash game sector will be heralded with an exclusive first glimpse of Rodeo and Arm Wrestling.
These hybrid sports titles, which feature side bets for additional engagement, are the first of their kind in the industry. Developed in collaboration with partner Curious Games, they bring never-before-seen themes to a key industry genre and maintain Kiron’s consistent pushing of boundaries to deliver innovative and dynamic releases.
Kiron will be exhibiting from stand S2-110 at ICE and invite all attendees to discover its incredible range of new products, designed to make operator lobbies stand out and drive revenue.

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.
