Slot designer enhances its Hold and Win offering with exciting new slot

Progressive games provider Booongo is aiming to brighten up the evening sky with its latest slot, Moon Sisters, with cash prizes and three lucrative jackpots on offer for players.

The visually stunning Asian-themed 3×5 game features 25 paylines and is the newest addition to the developer’s Hold and Win portfolio.

Collect six moon symbols to gain entry to the bonus round, where multiple respins provide the potential for players to claim the three in-game jackpots – Grand, Major and Mini.

During the round, the Hold and Win mechanics stick all bonus moon symbols that appear on the reels, with each new appearance resetting the remaining free spins to three. Scoop the Grand jackpot prize when 15 moon symbols cover the reels, which is worth 1000x the starting stake.

Moon Sisters is the latest slot in Booongo’s cutting-edge portfolio and features quality graphics and an immersive soundtrack that players come to expect with the provider’s games.

Yuriy Muratov, Head of Account Management and Business, said: “We’re thrilled to announce the release our stunning new video slot, Moon Sisters, the newest member of our expanding suite of games.

“Featuring a variety of exciting Jackpots and the popular Hold and Win mechanic, we’re sure this new title is going to brighten the gaming experience and will make a great addition to an operator’s portfolio.”

Spearhead Studios is pleased to announce the launch of the bespoke title Book of Gates on the successful German casino operator Wunderino. The new slot release sees British explorer, Sir Percy Forcet, on a quest to discover the treasures hidden deep inside the tomb of a powerful pharaoh, using the ancient Egyptian scroll as his guide.

Book of Gates was specially developed to rise to the high expectations of Wunderino’s players. The title has high-volatility and features a 5X3 videoslot with ten paylines and a maximum win of over 11,000X.

Book of Gates sets the player in the awe-inspiring subterranean tomb of the ancient pharaohs, complete with rich stone carvings, golden flourishes and eternal flames. The environment comes to life when the bonus game is triggered, leaving the player in no doubt that they are now battling with the Egyptian spirits in a quest to discover their secret treasures.

Mathias Larsson, Managing Director of Spearhead Studios, says: “We are very pleased to have released a bespoke game for Wunderino. It’s been a great pleasure working with them on Book of Gates, and we are looking forward to developing additional slot titles for Wunderino and other clients.”

Tobias Carlsson, CEO of ROL Malta, comments: “We are constantly trying to improve the content-experience for players in our markets. Partnering up with Spearhead was the right move for us to explore how we can take a bigger role in that process going forward.”

As well as pushing the graphical presentation to new levels, Spearhead Studios put considerable effort into creating a bespoke soundscape for the game; one that truly conveys the presence of the pharaohs, and the quest that our hero is embarked upon. As with all Spearhead Studios’ games, Book of Gates was designed to be fully enjoyed on mobile devices and has been optimised to minimise file size and loading times for an enjoyable player experience.

In the free spins bonus game, a special symbol is selected which then acts as an expanding scatter and can generate big payouts. All base and feature wins can be entered into the Gamble Ladder to potentially increase them up to €30,000.

Richard McIlwain, Deputy Chief Executive of environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy, said: “As one of the charities that will benefit from Lottoland’s new Win-Win Charity Lotto, Keep Britain Tidy will be able to undertake more work to support communities up and down the country in improving their local environment so that they can love where they live and feel the benefits that come from having access to great parks, beaches and public spaces.”
