Voodoo Teams Up with Hasbro to Introduce TRANSFORMERS Collaboration in Mob Control
Voodoo is pleased to announce a collaboration with Hasbro, a leading toy and game company, to integrate the beloved TRANSFORMERS franchise into our most popular game, Mob Control.
Through this collaboration, Voodoo aims to deliver an immersive gaming experience by combining the iconic characters of TRANSFORMERS with the engaging gameplay of Mob Control.
The collaboration kicks off with the introduction of Bumblebee as the first champion in the game’s upcoming event, ‘Echoes from Cybertron, a TRANSFORMERS Adventure’, scheduled for release today, March 11th. More champions will be released in upcoming seasons.
“Mob Control continues to demonstrate amazing growth and success globally since launch, it’s a great opportunity to introduce TRANSFORMERS to a massive audience during the brand’s 40th anniversary year,” said Eugene Evans, SVP Digital Strategy and Licensing at Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro. “This collaboration is a prime example of our strategy to grow our digital games portfolio. By working with innovative teams, such as the talented minds behind Voodoo, we can expand the reach of our brands to gamers in entirely new formats, all around the world.”
During the first episode of this event, ‘Bumblebee to the rescue,’ players will have the opportunity to bring Bumblebee to the battle as a champion, utilizing both his bot and alt-modes, each possessing distinctive powers. The event features six challenging levels, culminating in an epic three-round boss battle.
To enter the battle arenas, players will have to collect a unique currency inspired from the TRANSFORMERS universe: Energon. Winning these battles will give players access to special prizes, some of which are only collectable during the ‘Echoes from Cybertron’ event, such as Bumblebee blueprints. Additionally, the event will allow players to impact future episodes by voting on story outcomes after completing the levels.
Mob Control stands as one of Voodoo’s top-performing games, generating revenues close to $100 million in 2023. Under the leadership of Miguel Santirso, formerly a technical lead at King for Candy Crush Soda Saga, the team operates entirely remotely, with its primary hub situated in Barcelona. As the studio continues to experience healthy growth, it actively seeks talented individuals to augment its ranks.
Voodoo remains committed to delivering innovative and captivating experiences to our gaming community. We look forward to the continued success of our collaboration with Hasbro and the excitement it brings to our players. Stay tuned for more updates as we unveil additional TRANSFORMERS champions and further enhance the gaming experience in Mob Control.

Gamzix Brings Africa to Life with Book of Zulu – A Game-Changer for Casino Portfolios
On December 3, 2024, Gamzix, a leading full-cycle slot provider known for its high-quality game design, is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated launch of its newest slot, Book of Zulu. Crafted with unparalleled attention to detail, Book of Zulu combines the mystery of classic “Book” slots with a fresh African twist. This exciting release adds unique gameplay elements, rich African-themed visuals, and innovative features designed to enhance player engagement.
An Unforgettable African Adventure
Book of Zulu transports players deep into the heart of Africa, blending immersive visuals with a thrilling storyline. To capture the essence of the wild, and give players a sense of Indiana Jones adventure, we recorded the sounds of elephants directly at the zoo, bringing an added layer of authenticity to the experience. At our company, we approach each slot with special care and attention, treating every detail with the same dedication and reverence that we bring to all of our work. Players embark on a journey with an intrepid explorer as they delve into the mysteries of the Zulu people and their sacred book. The African aesthetic runs deep in every aspect of the game, with striking distinctive symbols and authentic cultural references, creating a refreshing alternative to traditional “Book” slots set in ancient tombs.
Unique Game Features and Winning Mechanics
Unlike typical “Book” slots, Book of Zulu introduces dual-expanding symbols within the same free spins round. This feature ensures that players experience a layered winning structure: a lower-value symbol expands first, creating smaller wins, followed by the expansion of a higher-value symbol, delivering larger payouts and building excitement with each win.
In Book of Zulu, players can enjoy Gamzix’s innovative twist on expanding symbols and free spins. At the start of each free spin round, a special symbol with a distinctive golden frame is randomly selected to become an “expander.” When three or more of these symbols land, they expand to cover their reels, maximizing winning potential and creating suspense as each symbol’s expansion leads to escalating rewards.
Free Spins with Rewarding Wild-Scatter Symbols
Gamzix has reimagined the mechanics of both scatter and wild symbols in Book of Zulu. When three or more scatter symbols appear, players are awarded 10 free spins—regardless of the exact number of scatters, keeping the focus on gameplay consistency. Additionally, wild symbols are not just substitutes but powerful multipliers, making every spin a potential game-changer for players.
“Gamzix has designed Book of Zulu to keep players engaged with top-tier animation, intuitive gameplay, and a detailed paytable that rewards from as few as two symbols. Each game element has been tailored to enhance player retention and extend playtime, making Book of Zulu a must-have addition for operators seeking to boost GGR”, says Gamzix’s CCO Lidiia Kosohova.
