Playson gives fans a flavour boost with Fruit Xtreme


Slot developer enhances Funky Fruits series with stylish new addition
Casino software developer Playson has released Fruit Xtreme, the second instalment in its smash-hit Funky Fruits portfolio.
With a vibrant new design, the 3×5 slot with 5 paylines combines the classic elements of fruit machine slots with the modern playability that players love coming back to.
The game features a trio of multipliers ranging from X3, which appears if three consecutive reels are filled from left to right with identical fruit symbols. This rises to X5 if a player is lucky enough to fill the entire game field.
The slot also includes Shiny Scatters, Red Sevens, and Funky Fresh Fruits ensuring this medium-high volatility slot takes even the most intrepid players to the âXtremeâ.
Following hot on the heels of the popular Red Chilli Wins, the new game arrives in time to thrill visitors to Playsonâs Stand N7-110 at ICE London 2020.
Vsevolod Lapin, Head of Product at Playson, said: âFruit Xtreme is a stylish new take on the traditional fruit slot and a worthy new member of Playsonâs ever-expanding suite of titles.
âWe look forward to showcasing Fruit Xtreme at ICE London and showcasing how our comprehensive offering is a fantastic addition to any operatorâs portfolio.â

Spainâs DGOJ to Review âSales Authorisationâ of ONCE and SELAE

Spanish lotteries ONCE and SELAE will be reviewed by the DGOJ â Spainâs directorate for gambling â in relation to how lottery games are marketed and sold to the public.
Spanish gambling and media stakeholders have been informed of the DGOJâs consultation, which seeks feedback on the âcommercial marketing of lottery gamesâ allowed across Spainâs autonomous provinces.
The consultation will be open to responses until March 31, with the directorate highlighting that it required necessary feedback from Spanish media and public vendors of ONCE and SELAE games.
As stewards of Spainâs national lotteries, ONCE â the lottery for the disabled â and SELAE, the lottery for Spanish societies/charities, are allowed to authorise the sale of tickets and games via âpublic vendorsâ be it cafes, restaurants, tobacconists, retail shops, etc.
However, the DGOJ has highlighted that in recent years the Spanish public has witnessed an increase in the number of websites and online applications selling ONCE and SELAE games as authorised vendors.
Concerns have been raised on whether online vendors offer appropriate customer protection and guarantees on tickets sold to the public for ONCE and SELAE draws.
Spanish lotteries differ from other European nations, as customers purchase tickets with pre-printed numbers, participating in ballots to win a % share of a community jackpot â rather than the single draw format, which rewards an individual winner.
The unique format ensures that Spain maintains Europeâs most popular national lotteries, featuring the Christmas âEl Gordoâ and âEl Ninoâ draws, which have distributed over âŹ2.5bn in prizes to customers.
The DGOJ underlined the importance of its consultation to ensure that Spanish lotteries are free from corruption and to protect Spanish consumers from fraud.
