Players can adventure deep into the heart of the ancient Aztec empire when they spin the reels on Stakelogic’s latest title, Fire and Gold Cluster Breaker. Each exciting spin presents the chance to trigger explosive bonuses and reward monumental wins, with players able to win up to 10,000x their stakes.

This captivating slot uses a 5×4 game grid with a cluster-pay system, with the game granting players wins when they hit clusters of five or more on the grid. Each win will trigger a tumble, with symbols removed and new ones falling from above, presenting the chance for even more wins.

The game introduces a unique Cluster Breaker mechanic, where new symbols can split up to 4 ways when entering the reels. This exciting title comes packed with innovative bonus features. Landing three or more bonus symbols across the game grid will trigger the Free Spins bonus. Keep your eyes peeled for the Super Bonus symbol on the fifth reel. Landing this alongside two standard symbols will trigger the Super Free Spins round.

During the Free Spins rounds, players can land even bigger wins, with a global multiplier being applied to the grid and increasing by one on every tumble.

The Ancient powers can also interject in the game with the Ultimate Earthquake feature. This will break all 1×1 symbols on the grid into two, three, or four pieces. The feature always triggers on every spin in the Super Free Spins!

It is not just the Bonus symbols that can unlock ancient bonuses. Landing five or more Coin symbols will trigger the Hold n Spin feature. In this round, standard symbols are removed from the grid, and only Coin symbols, Volcano Symbols, and Multipliers can land on the grid. Players get three respins, with the spin count resetting every time they land a symbol. At the end of the round, all of the player’s collected riches are added together and paid out.

As a Stakelogic slot, the game also allows players to buy their way into the bonus rounds with the Buy Bonus feature. Players can buy the Free Spins and Hold n Spin bonus for 100x their bet or the Super Free Spins for 200x their bet.

James Jelliffe, Head of Game Design at Stakelogic, said: “The Aztec theme is always a big favourite of ours at Stakelogic, and with Fire and Gold Cluster Breaker, we are putting an exciting new spin on the genre. The game’s beautiful artwork and immersive design invites players to explore an ancient world packed full of mysteries, bonuses, and big winning potential.”

The General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), the federal entity overseeing commercial gaming activities in the United Arab Emirates, issued a Consumer Advisory Notice warning UAE residents of the dangers of doing business or playing with unlicensed lottery and commercial gaming operators. Under the federal laws of the UAE, only lottery and commercial gaming operators approved by the GCGRA are permitted to operate.

Consumers who choose to play or do business with an unlicensed operator face significant risks, including financial loss, becoming the victims of cheating or fraud, having their personal data stolen or misused, increasing the risk of malware, phishing, or other cybersecurity threats, and being implicated in a regulatory or criminal investigation and the subsequent reputational damage.

The GCGRA has granted the sole lottery license to The Game LLC, which operates as The UAE Lottery. This is the only lottery license permitted under the GCGRA regulatory framework.

Additionally, the Federal Law by Decree establishing the GCGRA, permits certain preexisting lottery activities to continue. Within this framework, only Big Ticket and Dubai Duty Free – airport lotteries that have been operating for approximately 30 years – are authorised to continue operations under the supervision of the GCGRA. In accordance with the law, all other preexisting lotteries will not be considered for continued operations, and the GCGRA has ordered them to shut down.

Kevin Mullally, CEO of the GCGRA, said: “The GCGRA is committed to ensuring a safe and legal gaming environment in the UAE.”

He urged consumers to “Stay vigilant and informed, to protect yourself from the risks associated with illegal gaming. Your adherence to the law not only safeguards your personal and financial security but also upholds the integrity of our community. If you choose to play, do so only with licensed operators.”

Mr. Mullally said: “These unlicensed businesses have not had their technology or games independently evaluated for fairness or security. They are not required to act responsibly or incorporate basic consumer protection. They are not subject to advertising regulations and lack any oversight of their finances, including having reserves for prize payouts and complying with anti-money laundering laws. Consumers are strongly advised to avoid unlicensed operators to protect themselves from adverse consequences. Similarly, advertisers, payment processors, and other service providers that support these businesses risk sanctions and potential consequences affecting their ability to operate in the UAE.”
