After a series of numerous exhibitions that passed with great success, now EGT Digital is ready to fascinate the visitors of FIJMA as well. The iGaming provider will participate in the show together with EGT and both companies will present their novelties on stand C17-C19.

At visitors’ disposal will be the well-known instant games of EGT Digital, as well as its wide range of slot solutions, currently containing the jackpots Bell Link, Clover Chance, High Cash and Single Progressive Jackpot and more than 100 titles, which will demonstrate why they are players’ preferred choice in over 50 markets worldwide.

Among the main highlights in the casino portfolio will be the brand-new football game Burning Goals, part of the Clover Chance jackpot. On the eve of the European Championship, EGT Digital will give football lovers the opportunity to feel the atmosphere of a real match with just a click on their screen. The gaming thrill will reach new heights with the double chance feature, which provides players with even more opportunities of bringing home one of the big prizes.

EGT Digital’s in-house developed all-in-one betting platform X-Nave will also be on display to show how it can provide operators with a complete solution, through which they can build and maintain a successful iGaming business.

It includes 4 main modules: Sport product, Casino aggregator, CRM Engine and Payment Gateway. Each of them can be both part of the turnkey product or operate independently, as they allow integration with developments of third-party providers.

Tsvetomira Drumeva, Head of Sales at EGT Digital, commented: “Our games have already made their debut in Spain and we are delighted that their performance has been very good so far. FIJMA as one of the most authoritative exhibitions for Spain and the region will give us the opportunity to meet with many of the local operators and present to them our products in person. This will certainly increase our popularity and help us to close many more deals.”

B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming returns to the nostalgic aesthetic of one of 2023’s biggest hits with its latest sequel, Retro Sweets.

Building from the success of Retro Tapes, the slot is again played across a 6×9 matrix but this time swaps audio cassettes with various tasty treats and instant win coins to represent its symbols in this cluster pay outing.

Wild candies make it easier to create winning clusters and also bring the game’s intuitive use of multipliers into play. For each successive win that a wild is a part of, its multiplier increases by 1x while multiplier symbols further increase win potential and provide a progression loop.

Elevating the gameplay further, Retro Sweets introduces the Instant Prize Multiplier which gives regular Instant Prize symbols the potential to form crazy winning clusters.

The now synonymous Cluster Links mechanic also benefits from the sweet collector feature, an augmented version of Retro Tapes’ Magnet mechanic, which gathers all non-clustered coins, symbols and wilds into the same part of the gameboard.

Providing increased player personalisation and amplified replayability, the Push Bet feature allows players to have one or two guaranteed wild candy symbols land on each spin with three needed to enter the bonus round.

Not only does this make entry to the bonus easier, but raises the potential of landing a greater number of wilds – more wilds mean more spins, opportunities to form connecting coins clusters and more maximum wins – continuing the Retro franchise’s synonymity with big prizes.

Retro Sweets blends nostalgic iconography and sound design with innovative mechanics that made the original title a multi-award winner. It follows other notable hits from the studio, including DJ Cat, Samuari’s Katana and Wild Swarm 2.

Senior Game Producer, Ihor Lozinskiy at Push Gaming, said: “Retro Sweets is a mouth-watering, mechanically rich title that amplifies the use of multipliers and offers more ways to win big. The evolved features are set to engage players and allow them to enjoy the slot in a variety of ways, tailored to their play style.

“We’re excited to be expanding upon the success of Retro Tapes and returning to the Cluster Link mechanic for one of our sweetest releases of the year.”
