Unearth Ancient Treasures In Pragmatic Play’s Ancient Egypt
Myth and mystery await in this accessible video slot
Malta, 5 March 2018: Multi-award-winning casino games developer Pragmatic Play has announced Ancient Egypt, the latest high-quality video slot to join the provider’s thriving portfolio.
Taking players back to a time of pyramids and papyrus, the 3×5 reel game is packed with exciting and instantly recognisable symbols, including an ankh, Anubis, and the famous Queen of the Nile herself, Cleopatra.
The scarab beetle features as the games wild and scatter symbol, triggering the bonus mode when three or more appear.
Casting players as courageous tomb raiders, the bonus game presents players with three treasure chests, with each one either containing a cash prize or access to the free spins round.
Melissa Summerfield, Pragmatic Play’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “Ancient Egypt is a refreshing take on a popular theme, bolstering our reputation as one of the most adept casino game providers in iGaming.
“In an intuitive design twist, the game features nine paying symbols rather than the traditional 12 or 14, with exceptional underlying maths making it an inviting treat for new players and long-time slots fans alike.”
Ancient Egypt follows the release of Lucky New Year, a sensational seasonal slot game marking the Year of the Dog.
Releasing two new titles every month, Pragmatic Play’s acclaimed casino games feature on many of the world’s leading casino brands, including Betsson and LeoVegas.

North Star Network acquires Um Dois Esportes
North Star Network are delighted to announce the acquisition of umdoisesportes.com.br, which becomes the latest addition to NSN’s global sports media portfolio.
Born from the GRPCOM merger of the editorial teams of Gazeta Do Povo and Tribuna do Paraná in 2020, Um Dois Esportes provides in-depth sports coverage and analysis for the Brazilian state of Paraná and beyond.
North Star Network co-founder Julien Josset said: “Thank you to the team at GRPCOM for their faith in us to take the brand forward. Um Dois Esportes is an established and renowned site in Paraná State, and we’re excited about the challenge of developing this asset.”
“We’re happy to maintain the collaboration with the existing editorial team, and look forward to working with them, bringing our unique NSN approach, to take UDE forward.” NSN’s signing of Um Dois Esportes is the media house’s fourth acquisition of 2024, following the recent deals to purchase UK-based SportsMole and MrFixitsTips, as well as Chilean site AlAireLibre, which was announced in March.
The latest addition to the North Star media portfolio joins existing assets including Top Mercato, Afrik-Foot, and Vringe. The Paris-based company already oversees a significant Brazilian operation, delivering over 6 million sessions per month, from the likes of Trivela, Premier League Brasil and Lakers Brasil.
NSN will retain Curitiba-based journalists from the Um Dois Esportes legacy team to maintain the asset’s unique tone and popular coverage of the Paraná sports scene across site and social.
“We were surprised by the interest, and initially had no intention of selling Um Dois, but as the conversations evolved, we realised this was a serious group with good intentions,” said GRPCOM Director Rafael Mello. “We were very happy to see our project being valued by a large international group and going global, demonstrating the quality of the content we produced.”
“We’re also proud that North Star inherited our journalists, who are truly responsible for the success of the product we offer readers every day.”
