Go On a Curious Adventure as High 5 Games Takes on Wonderland
High 5 Games takes players on a trip down the rabbit hole as they debut their Wonderland themed slot game Teatime Treasures, featuring the return of their Wild Train feature!
The 5×5 25 payline slot game being launched by leading independent casino games provider, H5G, takes players on a curious adventure to the famous Mad Hatter tea party.
The game’s Wild Train feature is activated when the caterpillar and the slice of cake symbol appear on the board at the same time. The caterpillar will munch his way through the reels, proceeding to eat the cake. Every slice of cake accumulated during the base game is added to the win meter that is displayed on the left-hand side of the screen, featuring the Cheshire Cat. If a player collects enough cake in consecutive spins to raise the meter, they will work their up to unlock the Free Games Bonus and the Jackpot bonus.
Teatime Treasures is the latest addition to H5G’s portfolio. During the game’s exclusive release with two of the company’s key operators, the game went live with a double payout promotion, running from July 6th to July 23rd. Teatime Treasure will be globally available to H5G’s entire network of partnering operators through the supplier’s gaming platform, VAULT, on Thursday, July 23rd.

Teatime Treasures will sure bring the fun adventurous ride of wonder through a classic tale we all know and love. With the entertaining feature and colorful game art, we are eager to get this
game released with the in-game promotions available to our operators worldwide”

Play’n GO Music announces release of Quantum Rush Visualizer
Visualizer created to represent hit release Quantum Rush and to celebrate a year of collaboration between Play’n GO Music and MoneyGram Haas F1 Team
Play’n GO Music, the music division of the world’s leading casino entertainment provider Play’n GO, has today announced the release of its Quantum Rush Visualizer, in the wake of a successful 12-month collaboration between the brand and MoneyGram Haas F1 Team.
Earlier this year, Play’n GO Music set out to explore how music can fuel sport, using its sponsorship of MoneyGram Haas F1 Team as an inspiration. To motivate both fans and team members alike, hit single Quantum Rush was created, to be used as a pump-up track on race weekends, with the Visualizer serving as a summary of the year-long collaboration. Throughout the year, Play’n GO Music and MoneyGram Haas F1 Team have collaborated on a series of initiatives to connect the team with their fans through a series of playlists designed by MoneyGram Haas F1 Team members; Ayao’s Anthems, Hulkenberg’s Hits, Magnussen’s Mix, the Haas Tracklist, and the Fan Fueled Favs playlist, chosen exclusively by fans for the motorsport team.
Play’n GO became a sponsor of MoneyGram Haas F1 Team in November 2023 and has remained a steadfast partner of the team throughout the 2024 season.
Ebba Arnred, CMO and Co-Founder at Play’n GO, said “The collaboration between Play’n GO Music and MoneyGram Haas F1 Team has been a creative and enjoyable initiative, showcasing a fresh approach to engaging with our audience. Pivoting from the world of online casino to the music industry was a bold leap, and mixing in the high-octane world of motorsport has proven to be a game changer. Watching Ayao, Nico, Kevin, and the entire MoneyGram Haas F1 Team craft their own playlists earlier this year brought the worlds of gaming, music, and motorsport together in an unprecedented way. The release of Quantum Rush in August was the crowning achievement of an incredible year, and the Quantum Rush Visualizer adds another electrifying layer to this partnership for fans to enjoy. This partnership has created new boundaries for what is possible as an iGaming brand; we’re already gearing up for even bigger things in 2025.”
Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal at MoneyGram Haas F1 Team added “Working with a music brand is certainly a new one for our team, but we’ve all had great fun collaborating with Play’n GO Music this year. On a personal level, I appreciated the opportunity to share my musical tastes with our fans, and I can speak for the entire team here when I say they enjoyed the chance to contribute also. We’re already looking forward to getting back on track in 2025, and to continuing our partnership with Play’n GO.”
