HBA Media announced a new partnership with Genius Sports to launch “Crown Jewels Racing Fantasy” (CJRFantasy) – the first international horse racing fantasy game.

As the established leader in the international distribution of horse racing media rights, HBA Media works with broadcasters worldwide representing renowned races including Royal Ascot, the Saudi Cup, the Breeders’ Cup, Hong Kong Jockey Club, as well as premium UK horse racing through HBA’s partnership with Racecourse Media Group.

CJRFantasy has been launched to help unify the global horse racing calendar, providing broadcasters and their fans around the world with a new platform to enhance their knowledge, compete with family and friends, and engage with the world’s most prestigious races.

For each race, players must select three horses, designating who will finish first, second and third. Double points will be assigned to one horse chosen as captain, while players must also answer a tie-breaker question on the winning distances. Each horse is assigned an XP where the lower their score, the more likely the horse is to win the upcoming race. Horses with higher XP who win will deliver more points, encouraging players to select from the full field.

HBA Media will promote the new CJRFantasy game through the international broadcast feed across the calendar year, connecting their gamification strategy with millions of horse racing fans worldwide. On-air graphics will encourage and engage viewers in the joys of the CJRFantasy game, which offers unique raceday experiences and VIP merchandise as prizes.

Daring masterminds launch train robbery to take home big prizes

Playson, the fast-growing digital entertainment supplier, is taking players on the wildest adventure of their life in its debut Western-themed title Arizona Heist: Hold and Win.

A weathered team of criminals feature as symbols in this unpredictable slot. A revolver, backpack, and boozy supplies are all packed ready for this adrenaline-fuelled heist.

The high-energy mission is reflected in three Bonus Game boosters. The Plus booster reveals a random value of up to x10 and adds it to each symbol below it. The Multiplier randomly multiplies up to x10 and adds to all icons on the grid. The Gold booster transforms one Bonus symbol into a Bonus Gold symbol on the reel below. Additionally, the Collect feature collects all values from Bonus and Bonus Gold symbols during the Bonus Game.

In-game jackpots return in the form of a golden safe. Collecting two, three, four or five Bonus Gold symbols during the Bonus Game offers one of four corresponding jackpots. Two Bonus Gold symbols triggers a mini jackpot of x20, three symbols award a x50 minor jackpot, the major jackpot of x100 lands if four symbols are achieved. The grand jackpot of x5,000 is given if five Bonus Gold symbols appear.

The Double feature results from filling all 20 positions in the Bonus Game and doubles all symbol values.

Reflecting the scene of the crime, three or more train Scatters symbols trigger 10 free spins. A further three trains during free spins issues a further five free spins.  During the free spins round, Wild symbols multiply all combinations they are part of, with the Wilds’ multiplier amounts depending on how many Scatters appear. For three Scatters, the Wild offers x2, for four it is x3 and for five it is x5.

The Extra Bonus feature grants a chance of adding Bonus symbols in quantity enough or more to activate the Bonus Game during the Main Game or Free Spins.

Tamas Kusztos, CCO at Playson, said: “The Wild West is known for its unpredictability and adventure, which is what we evoke in Arizona Heist: Hold and Win. We are delighted to introduce this lively new theme into our portfolio, with an exciting array of enhancing features to inject even more excitement.

“The graphics and atmospheric music convey a sense of the unknown, as our players seek to run away with great riches from the train’s bursting safe.”
