Games Global and Slingshot Studios expand Cashingo™ series with Eruption Blaze Cashingo™
Title pairs advanced Cashingo experience with ULTRA Link&Win enhancements
Games Global, together with its exclusive studio partner, Slingshot Studios, has released Eruption Blaze Cashingo, bolstering the popular series with a feature-rich release, where jackpots up to 5,000x chart a path to 13,283x win potential.
Set against the backdrop of a lava-spewing volcano, every cash and jackpot coin that lands is added to the mirrored Cashingo grid, with the value of all prizes paid out when a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row is completed.
Adding further variety to the action is the integrated ULTRA Link&Win feature, which can be activated by landing six or more coins. The feature begins with three respins on a 5×5 reel set, with three extra rows initially locked. Keys can unlock additional rows, expanding the reels and increasing win potential.
Special Boosters can appear during the round, including Doublers that increase the value of up to four cash prize coins and Collectors that gather all visible cash coin values at once. Persistent versions of these boosters remain active, while Extra Life coins award an extra spin once the initial respins are exhausted.
Free Spins offer a change of pace and greater depth, with a Power Stacks feature enhancing wild and coin symbols to elevate potential.
Eruption Blaze Cashingo showcases Slingshot Studios’ continued refinement of the Cashingo franchise, delivering an engaging, well-paced gameplay experience.
Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Our goal with Eruption Blaze Cashingo was to take what players enjoy about Cashingo and give it more room to develop.
“The combination of the Cashingo and Power Stacks mechanics introduces a dynamic element to the base game, and the enhanced ULTRA Link&Win feature adds clear progression as the grid expands. We are delighted with how the experience comes together.”
David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy & Partner Management at Games Global, added: “Eruption Blaze Cashingo is a strong addition to our portfolio and a great evolution of the Cashingo concept. Cash and jackpot coins open up new ways for the game to build, while the updates to the ULTRA Link&Win feature bring more variety to each round.
“Slingshot Studios has continued to grow the series in a way that feels natural and engaging.”

13 gambling company executives in appeal against ATG’s proposal to raise gambling tax in Sweden
BOS – The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling – is today submitting a letter to the government. The letter is signed by 13 gambling company executives and BOS’s secretary general. In the letter, the signatories urge the government not to support the gambling company ATG in their proposal to raise the general gambling tax in favour of a reduction in the tax on horse racing.
As a main argument, the signatories highlight the fact that the level of the gambling tax affects the proportion of consumers who choose to gamble on the legal licensed gambling market, and that too many consumers are already opting out of the safety of the licensed market with its extensive consumer protection.
“Horse betting has a channelisation rate of between 98-99 percent. Online casino, according to the most optimistic estimates, has a channelisation rate of between 72-82 percent. The higher the tax, the greater the risk that the consumer will choose unlicensed gambling, where neither gambling tax nor consumer protection exists. To then lower the gambling tax for horse betting, which already has a very strong channelisation, and raise it for online casino, which has a very weak channelisation, would be completely incomprehensible. At least for those who prioritize consumer protection,” says BOS Secretary General Gustaf Hoffstedt.
