Supercharged sequel sees players shoot for epic wins with unlimited multipliers and unique Ultra Bet feature

 iSoftBet, the leading online and mobile casino content provider, has launched Hot Shots 2, inviting players to lace up their boots and score huge wins in this supercharged sequel.

Always at the forefront of innovation, iSoftbet has included their new Ultra Bet* feature on this slot-based football extravaganza, allowing players to place a single wager to unlock 50 high-octane games, collecting wins, multiplier stars and bonus rounds along the way. Ultra Bet offers a unique way to play, prioritising the most exciting game features for a more engaging player experience.

Launched at the same time as live action football leagues resume, Hot Shots 2 takes the proven successful model from the original Hot Shots, with expanding Wilds, and takes it to another level with an unlimited increasing win multiplier during Free Spins for even more ways to strike it lucky.

Five quirky footballers are the high paying symbols, each one representing their own country. A German Shepherd, French cockerel, Spanish Bull, British Bulldog and Portuguese Fox all battle it out for possession of the reels, ready to fire up players’ fortunes in this feature-filled slot.

Players can win big in a host of ways, including from win multipliers, expanding Wilds, Free Spins bonuses and the special Wild Golden Ball. Hit the back of the net with this symbol during Free Spins and the ball expands both vertically and horizontally as well as increasing the win multiplier.

Three or more Hot Shots symbols will see you qualify for the Free Spins round, where the unlimited win multiplier is in play and regular footballs on reels 2, 3 or 4 will expand to form multiple wilds. And it’s not full-time yet, as Free Spins can also be retriggered via bonus symbols during the feature.

Mark Claxton, Head of Games at iSoftBet, said: “Hot Shots was so popular we decided to launch a sequel with a supercharged bonus for players to score even bigger wins. Launching our new Ultra Bet feature on this game made perfect sense as it embraces the exciting and frantic nature of the “beautiful game” while also offering players a whole new way to play slots.

“The launch of Hot Shots 2 is perfectly timed with the restart of many football leagues around the world, something so many people have been eager to see. We are delighted with the result of the game and confident it will prove to be the perfect strike partner for sport-starved slot fans.”

 Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has released its colourful new title, Fruit Party.

The 7×7 videoslot is packed with fruity flavour and colour, with a cluster pay mechanic setting it apart from your traditional game. With every successful spin, more fruit cascades down onto the reels with Pragmatic Play’s tumbling wins feature.

The Golden Fruit acts as a scatter symbol and triggers the bonus feature when three or more land on the reels. In the Free Spins mode, every winning block has the chance to be randomly multiplied by 2x or 4x, which can be expanded further if any other blocks in the combination also contain a random multiplier, up to 256x the initial win, for lucrative results.

Melissa Summerfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Fruit Party has all the colour and fun of any great summer bash, but this time it’s packed with wins.

“With an innovative cluster-style wins system and plenty of multipliers, Fruit Party can turn one spin into big payouts with its high volatility and action-packed Bonus Round!”

Pragmatic Play currently delivers up to four new slot titles a month, as well as an extensive range of Live Casino and Bingo products through its multi-vertical offering. The company’s entire portfolio is available through a single API integration.
