Evoplay releases explosive gameplay in Lava Burst
Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has launched Lava Burst, a high-volatility slot packed with exciting features to boost player engagement.
Played on a 4×3 grid, the game’s core mechanics are the Bonus Game and Ultra Bonus Game. Both begin with three spins, and each new symbol that lands reset the counter. The round continues until all 12 positions are filled or no spins remain.
The Ultra Bonus Game guarantees activation of the Lava Burst feature, where one to twelve fire comets strike random cells on the reels. Each strike applies an x2 multiplier, which increases if the same position is hit more than once.
Supporting features include Mystic Symbols, which transform into another icon at the end of the Bonus or Ultra Bonus Game, and the Mystic Jackpot Symbol, which guarantees a Mini (25x), Minor (50x), or Major (100x) jackpot. The Grand jackpot (x1000) is awarded by collecting all 12 bonus symbols of any type.
The Black Hole collects the value of all previously landed Bonus symbols and jackpots, increasing the overall win potential.
All Coin symbols carry bet multipliers – Bonus Coins appear with values from x1 to x4, while Heavy Coins land only in the base game with higher values of x5 to x9. Heavy Coins remain locked on the reels until the Bonus or Ultra Bonus Game begins, unless the bet is changed. The Bonus Game is triggered by landing four symbols on the central line, initiating a round with three spins. Each new Bonus symbol resets the spin count, and winnings are awarded only in the Bonus or Ultra Bonus Game, where all landed Bonus symbol values are totalled at the end.
Lava Burst combines high-impact visuals with layered bonus features, offering operators a strong addition to their slot portfolios.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Lava Burst offers something fresh, with mechanics that keep players invested throughout the session.
“From the escalating multipliers to the strategic bonus features, we’ve created a slot that’s built for performance and player appeal.”

Relax Gaming plots the ultimate heist in latest release Cash in Transit
Relax Gaming, the iGaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, is pulling off the ultimate heist for cash in its heart-racing new release Cash in Transit.
This highly volatile 5×4 slot sees players join a cunning gang of thieves in the City of London, attempting to commit the ultimate crime and get away with prizes worth up to 10,000x.
The action begins when three or more Bonus Symbols land, unlocking the game’s Bonus Reels. Players are awarded three respins, which reset with every new symbol that drops.

Persistent variants of these character symbols can appear, raising the stakes even more, triggering their abilities at the end of each spin and pushing players toward a genuinely successful heist.
Shelley Hannah, CPO at Relax Gaming, said: “Cash in Transit has all the makings of a legendary Relax Gaming slot. With a truly thrilling bonus reel mechanic that showcases a cunning gang of criminals, we think players will revel in the high-octane action and enjoy the engaging London heist theme with Bonus symbols and respins also up for grabs.”
