Pragmatic Play spices up the slots market with Chilli Heat
Join the fiesta in this latest video slot!
Malta, 30 January 2018: Multi-award-winning slots developer Pragmatic Play is spicing up players’ lives with the launch of Chilli Heat, a fiery new addition to its acclaimed catalogue of video slots.
Tequila, hot sauce and mariachis line the reels of this sizzling 3×5 game, which ramps up the adrenaline with stacked wilds, fixed jackpots, and free spins.
The lively free spins round removes all royals from the reels, leaving only high paying symbols and the potential for big wins.
Landing six or more money-bags symbols begins the re-spins feature, which grants players three re-spins with which to discover more bags with cash prizes, with a chance of triggering the “Grande Jackpot” for those able to handle the heat.
Melissa Summerfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Despite the laid-back feel of the Mexican village that provides the game’s backdrop, Chilli Heat is a dynamic game that showcases all of our flair for engaging gameplay and vivid presentation.
“We have capitalised on our thriving games portfolio with a series of significant operator and supplier integrations, and we are sure Chilli Heat will prove just as big a hit with our players all over the world.”
Chilli Heat follows the release of Gold Rush, a game that sends players down the mines in search of their fortune with prospectors, donkeys and explosive dynamite wilds.
Pragmatic Play releases two new games every month, and its titles feature with leading casino brands including Betsson and LeoVegas.
The provider’s growing team of experienced igaming professionals will be on hand at ICE stand N8-120, where you can join the fun at 2pm on Wednesday 7 February for a chilli-eating contest to celebrate the game’s launch.

Should iGaming Be Worried About 2024 Bitcoin Halving?
In its LinkedIn newsletter, ‘The SOFTSWISS Special’, SOFTSWISS, a global tech expert with over 15 years of experience in iGaming, delves into the impact of Bitcoin Halving on the iGaming realm.
The recent historical moment of Bitcoin Halving took place on 19th April 2024. SOFTSWISS, a pioneer in crypto-friendly iGaming software, shares its insights and forecasts for how this event may shape the future of iGaming, shedding light on potential opportunities and challenges for industry stakeholders.
What is Bitcoin Halving?
The Bitcoin halving is a scheduled event that occurs approximately every four years or every 210,000 blocks. During this event, the reward for mining and verifying new blocks is reduced by 50%, resulting in miners earning only half the number of BTC per mined block.
Since its launch in 2009, Bitcoin’s mining reward has halved four times, occurring in 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024. The recent April halving reduced the reward to 3.125 BTC per block. Such events are crucial for Bitcoin’s scarcity and inflation control, ensuring that the total supply never exceeds 21 million coins and aligning with its deflationary principles.
Historically, each halving event has resulted in a rise in Bitcoin’s price. This is attributed to the reduced supply and increased scarcity, although other market factors have also influenced these outcomes.
Exploring the Impact of Bitcoin Halving on the iGaming Industry
To provide an in-depth analysis of the Bitcoin Halving impact on iGaming, SOFTSWISS invited Bradley Peak, blockchain expert and tokenomics adviser, to share its anticipations.
- Bets rise: The halving is expected to lead to an increase in Bitcoin’s value. If the trend of impressive price surges persists, Bitcoin-friendly iGaming brands could see a positive impact.
- Crypto adoption increase: Implementing crypto-friendly models has the potential to boost player trust and transparency in iGaming. Additionally, it could rejuvenate unique gaming experiences like provably fair games and decentralised casinos.
- Regulatory frameworks improvement: The recent Bitcoin halving could prompt regulatory bodies to reassess their stance on cryptocurrency gambling. This could lead to new regulations ensuring fairness, responsible gambling, and anti-money laundering measures in the crypto-driven iGaming sector.
Bradley Peak, blockchain expert, comments on the recent changes: “Any transformation will not be without its challenges. It is important to adapt – invest in employee learning and development, onboard crypto processing, and make sure your platform remains secure in the process.”
Explore the influence of the 2024 Bitcoin Halving on the iGaming industry in the fourth edition of The SOFTSWISS Special newsletter on LinkedIn.

Blueprint Gaming Combines Angling Excitement and Irish Folklore in Latest Title Plenty O’ Fish
Blueprint Gaming’s latest slot release tasks players to look for the leprechaun’s pot of gold under the water rather than at the end of the rainbow in Plenty O’ Fish, a 6×4 hybrid of sea creatures and shimmering rewards.
Players must look to unlock a tackle box of treasure with a jaunty leprechaun being the key to wins, lurking behind a dynamically coloured underwater background that changes when the bonus game is triggered.
Landing the leprechaun fisherman symbol triggers the Plenty O’ Fish collect feature, where players can reel in cash rewards or one of four exciting jackpots, selecting from major, mega, mini and minor.
Gold coins are also added to the treasure chest when a golden fish appears in view during the base game, with the chest able to close randomly and award a range of modifiers including free spins.
Free spins can also be triggered by landing three or more bonus symbols with instant upgrades awarded by landing gold coins, with any unused upgrades returned when the main game resumes.
Plenty O’ Fish adds further diversity to Blueprint Gaming’s catalogue of games, merging two popular themes to provide more content for all sectors of its growing player base.
“As we look to expand our portfolio, we combined proven themes to align fishing and Irish titles for Plenty O’ Fish; two of the most popular themes the slot sector has ever seen,” the Marketing and Relationships Director for Blueprint Gaming, Jo Purvis, said. “Adding a rich feature set to the crisp animation and catchy soundtrack means we’ve got another fantastic title in our tackle box.
“Players will love the ability to retrigger features, boosting excitement and rewards alongside the free spins to ensure the slot stands apart in a crowded market.”
