Red Bull Solo Legends is stepping into a new chapter as the tournament’s national finals arrive at the breathtaking Royal Opera House, Mumbai on 2nd December.

For the first time ever, the century-old cultural landmark will host an esports event, bringing competitive gaming into a space that has witnessed some of India’s most celebrated artistic performances.

This is a powerful moment for Indian esports. What began in community rooms, cyber cafés, and online lobbies now enters one of the country’s most majestic stages, celebrating the growth of gaming as a modern cultural force.

The journey to the finals has been equally ambitious. Red Bull Solo Legends is a multi-phase tournament, featuring both online and on-ground stages, uniting tens of thousands of solo BGMI players from every corner of the country. From grassroots talent to seasoned pros, competitors battled through a pure solo queue format, proving their instincts, consistency, and clutch ability. Each round brought them closer to the opportunity of facing India’s top BGMI professionals at the finals. The champion of Red Bull Solo Legends will walk away with the title of India’s strongest solo BGMI player along with an exclusive international Red Bull Racing experience.

With 64 of the country’s finest solo BGMI contenders taking the stage, 32 qualified finalists, 24 top-tier pros, and 8 Chaos Agents, the Royal Opera House will echo with a new kind of intensity.They will compete across 5 matches to determine the first-ever Red Bull Solo Legends champion. As spectators walk in, they’ll be part of a one-of-a-kind atmosphere where strategy, instinct, and pure solo skill unfold inside one of Mumbai’s most exquisite architectural treasures.

Red Bull Solo Legends will feature some of India’s prominent BGMI athletes including Jonathan Amaral (Jonathan Gaming), Tanishk Singh (Admino), Rudra B (Spower), Sahil Jakhar (Omega), Raghuraj Singh (Slug), Mohammed Owais Lakhani (Owais), Sohail Shaikh (Hector), and Paridhi Gupta (Noob Pari) and many more. These players, known for their exceptional skills, will compete against each other, bringing their unique strategies and gameplay styles to the forefront. Esports thrives on pressure, audience energy, and unforgettable moments. The Royal Opera House, known for its grandeur and legacy, offers a stage worthy of the stakes. The contrast is striking in the best way, with ornate balconies and vintage chandeliers watching over India’s sharpest digital athletes as they fight for the title of the country’s strongest solo BGMI player.

Built between 1909 and 1915 and inaugurated by King George V, the Royal Opera House is India’s only surviving opera house, restored lovingly after decades of closure. From theatre to classical music to film screenings, its stage has embraced every form of performance. On 2nd December, it will embrace competitive gaming for the very first time, welcoming India’s esports community into its history.

Red Bull Solo Legends has been created to celebrate individual excellence in BGMI. Every rotation, every fight, every decision rests on the player alone. Hosting the finals in a venue that represents mastery, legacy, and performance adds a rare emotional depth to the competition, turning every clutch into a moment that will be remembered long after the final circle closes.

Tickets will be exclusively live on Swiggy Scenes 21st November onward.

Matches will also be broadcast live on the Red Bull Game On YouTube channel for fans from across the country: youtube.com/@RedBullGameOn

Sought-after software provider’s reimagined retro classic delivers a flavourful feast of rewards as full table wins help players on the way to massively multiplied prizes

Get ready to gather the family around the table and celebrate the harvest season in style in Extra Win X Thanksgiving – the new holiday-themed twist on Swintt’s classic retro slot formula where landing full table wins can lead to massively multiplied payouts.

As the latest release in the software provider’s popular Premium range, Extra Win X Thanksgiving combines simple gameplay across three reels and five fixed paylines with a distinctive autumnal aesthetic as golden turkeys, plump pumpkins and cornucopias award huge wins of up to 20,000x.

Building on the popular prize wheel format found in other Extra Win games, in order to unlock Extra Win X Thanksgiving’s most bountiful rewards, players will need to completely fill the reels with any one symbol to activate a bonus round where their winnings can be multiplied indefinitely.

Whenever this happens, all regular payline wins will be calculated and players will be transported to a new screen where they’ll be prompted to spin a wheel to further improve their rewards. With initial prizes including a standard 1x win and a healthy 2x multiplier, players will be able to keep spinning until they land a red “end” segment, at which point they’ll be returned to the base game.

Each wheel will also display an Extra Win X symbol, and if players are lucky enough to land on this special segment, the value of all multipliers will be enhanced and they’ll be able to keep on spinning. Again, this process will continue until they’re forced to exit the bonus round or the max win has been achieved, but all smaller prizes can also be gambled in an additional “Risk” feature.

Anthony Dalla Giacoma Chief Commercial Officer: “Thanksgiving is a time where millions of families across the U.S. gather to enjoy a smorgasbord of tasty treats – and to mark the occasion, we’re serving up all manner of mouthwatering rewards in a new, holiday-themed edition of our popular Extra Win X series . Featuring the same great mechanics as the original game and an improved top prize of 20,000x, we’re sure it’ll give players and operators plenty to be thankful for.”
