Playtech to Deploy Native-First Products Ahead of App Store Changes

Published

Reading Time: 1 minute

Playtech is going to launch native-first products to support the operators preparing to change according to the recent changes in Apple’s App Store guidelines. The new native-first product line includes fully native online casino content and natively compiled games. The new products will also allow Playtech’s clients to easily build native apps through a software development kit.

Peter Mares, CTO of Playtech Games Innovation Labs, said that the changes in the App Store guidelines have created one more “Apple-shaped hoop” for gambling operators to jump through.

Apple’s App Store posted important updates of clause 4.7 of its guidelines in June 2019. The App Store’s revised policies are set to take effect on September 3.

The updated guideline is that the HTML5 games “distributed in apps may not provide access to real money gaming, lotteries, or charitable donations” and that “this functionality is only appropriate for code that’s embedded in the binary and can be reviewed by Apple.”

As per the updated guidelines, the gambling operators can no longer repackage their websites via HTML5 technologies and upload these on the App Store. Gambling apps must now include a native functionality, that is all aspects of a gaming or betting app must be native to iOS.

Mr. Mares added that as an iGaming industry veteran, Playtech understands that in order for its clients to succeed, they need some help from the provider in order to be able to continue to operate as usual. This is why Playtech has unveiled its native-first product line that, among other things includes fully native gaming content and natively compiled games.

Internet Vikings, a licensed hosting provider for the European and U.S. iGaming and online sports betting industry, has announced a new partnership with ScatterKings, an iGaming studio that creates high-performance slot content, helping operators lead their markets across regulated jurisdictions worldwide.

As part of this collaboration, Internet Vikings is supplying ScatterKings with a tailored hosting infrastructure that includes both bare metal servers and VMware cloud solutions in Sweden and Malta.

The collaboration came about as ScatterKings looked to move away from its previous hyperscale setup in favour of a more flexible hosting environment. The company was seeking a partner that could provide greater customization and more responsive customer service.

“We’ve been genuinely impressed with the level of support from Internet Vikings,” said Steven Batchelor-Manning, CTO of ScatterKings. “They’ve helped us avoid the usual hosting headaches and given us a rock-solid base to move fast. As we continue to grow, we see them as a strategic partner for the road ahead—one that can keep pace with our ambitions.”

Internet Vikings is equally enthusiastic about the partnership. Rickard Vikström, CEO and Founder of Internet Vikings, noted the strategic fit: “ScatterKings needed a hosting solution that could adapt to their specific operational requirements. We’re committed to supporting their growth with infrastructure that evolves alongside their business.”

Reflex Gaming unleashes The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™ with exclusive Game Mechanic

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Reflex Gaming, the UK’s largest independently owned omni-channel game supplier, is heading deep into ancient ruins with the launch of The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™, a visually stunning, Aztec-themed slot that introduces the company’s exclusive Treasure Hunt™ game mechanic.

This 6×4, 20-payline title combines mystery, tension and progressive gameplay in a setting inspired by the legends of Montezuma. At the heart of the experience is the Treasure Hunt™ game mechanic, a persistent pick-based mechanic that activates when two Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels. Players are transported to a 30-segment treasure map where they can uncover Free Spins, cash prizes, Jackpots and Sticky Wild bonus upgrades. Unlike traditional features, the map carries over between sessions, allowing players to build progress over time. Crucially, Sticky Wilds uncovered on the map are banked and carried into the next Free Spins bonus triggered via the map itself, creating layered anticipation and meaningful long-term engagement.

Free Spins can also be triggered directly via 3 or more bonus symbols. Once active, players collect additional Scatter symbols to spin a bonus wheel that can award multipliers, more Sticky Wilds, or one of four fixed jackpots. With a maximum win potential of over 5000x, the feature is rich with excitement.

Adding to the thrill is the Montezuma Mystery Prize, a powerful feature triggered when players land full stacks of Montezuma symbols with the special Cursed Idol symbol. The game’s cinematic presentation shifts into high gear as the cursed idol unleashes a dramatic win event that transforms the reels and ramps up intensity.
The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™ also supports Golden Bet, which doubles the chance of triggering Free Spins, and includes Bonus Buy functionality in supported markets, ensuring the game caters to a wide range of player preferences and regulatory environments.

Commenting on the release, Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, said: “We’re incredibly proud of this one. The game introduces something truly unique with our Treasure Hunt game mechanic. It’s Reflex-built, Reflex-owned, and designed to deliver genuine progression and player investment over time. It’s a mechanic that remembers where you left off, and that’s something players will come back for.
“So far, the game has gained exceptional feedback from operators.  We believe it’s a standout release for 2025, and we can’t wait to see how the market responds.”

The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™ is available from 16 September 2025 powered by Yggdrasil Gaming.

Marek Suchar, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Oddin.gg added:  “What makes this partnership exciting is the mindset Veikkaus brings.
