Grab Yourself a Hot Date with BGaming’s Disco Party

Rapidly expanding content provider invites players to feel the rhythm of romance with the launch of Disco Party.

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming invites players to put on their finest clothes, slip on their dancing shoes, and prepare to find their perfect match with the release of Disco Party.

Dating is an unpredictable journey about embracing the freedom to make personal choices, and this essence is captured perfectly in Disco Party. Players get to take charge of their experience by selecting their preferred volatility level—step into the shoes of the charismatic man with medium volatility or embody the stylish woman with low volatility. Once your decision has been made, the action unfolds across a 5×3 game grid with 243 ways to win.

We’ve all made a wrong choice on a date before, so if you realize that your decision isn’t for you, you can click on the corresponding character at the side of the reels to change the volatility and mix things up.

This pulsating slot is brought to life with a dynamic, disco-inspired soundtrack that sets the tone for a funky evening of game and dating action. This is complemented perfectly by an array of attractive men and women appearing on the reels, with the symbols changing depending on your volatility selection. The characters of Disco Party were all meticulously designed using the latest graphics and AI technology to provide the most immersive experience possible.

Players should keep their eyes peeled for the elusive Scatter symbol. Landing three or more of these will trigger the game’s Free Spins round. BGaming also adds a bit of extra spice to the dating game, with multipliers of up to x10 being randomly added to wins during the classic Free Spins round.

Players who want to skip the queue and get in on the bonus action faster can buy their way into the Free Spins for 75x their stake or the Super Free Spins for 150x. The multipliers available during Super Free Spins range from x2 to x25.

Nothing says love quite like a high RTP, and Disco Party is all about it, serving up a devoted 97.01%, with a maximum win of 1,500x the player’s stake on offer.

Nikita Zavadsky, Custom Games Product Manager at BGaming, said: “Valentine’s Day is on the horizon, and what better way to get in the mood for love than spinning the reels and landing a big win?

“At BGaming, we are always looking for fresh themes to explore, and the world of dating is so exciting and unpredictable that it feels like a natural fit for a slot game. Dating is also all about choice, and we think we have captured this perfectly by allowing players to choose their volatility.

“Our team has worked non-stop to bring this vision to life, and we cannot wait to see how audiences react when it hits virtual shelves.”

TaDa Gaming Releases “Penalty Kicks”

Leading casino content provider TaDa Gaming is hitting new gameplay heights with its unique release Penalty Kicks. No multipliers, jackpots or cascading reels, only skill and luck will give players the winning shot – just like in World Cup penalties.

The roar of the crowd and the thrill of the game are evident from first click when two national teams are chosen. Decide where the ball will hit the net and place the bets. With a ten second count down and a rotating 360 view of the stadium, the goalie and the footballer taking the shot, five kicks are allowed alternately per team and can hit left, right or centre.

However, as TaDa likes to keep the excitement levels sky high, the goalie can make a save, or the footballer can miss! If, after five shots, the result is inconclusive, it goes to sudden death.

Spectacular graphics and the clever use of famous players’ penalty techniques keep bettors on the edge of their seats. A running tally of kicks taken and the hit rate scored also allow players to strategise for the next round.

With TaDa’s signature on screen tips and info regularly appearing – from team popularity percentage to neon green outlines of successful penalty locations – even players who don’t like penalties as deciding factors will love the power and challenge of Penalty Kicks.

Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Our customers tell us that they want genuine innovation and challenge across the whole gaming experience. We believe that Penalty Kicks delivers on all fronts. Many players will have their expectations lifted with this release so we are anticipating some very positive feedback.”
