Here are this weeks latest slots releases compiled by European Gaming!

In its first game release since being acquired by GAN, Silverback Gaming is back with a veritable bang. Launching via Relax Gaming’s Silver Bullet program, Golden Calaveras is a 3×5 slot with a maximum pay-out of 50,000x! Combining a Day of the Dead theme with a host of features, the game takes players on a journey to a Mexican pueblo, where the 10 lines pay in both directions as well as if the same symbol lands on a payline on the middle 3 reels.

Lightning Box is on the prowl again with the launch of its Africa-themed title, Silver Lioness4x. The 4×5 reel slot, which features 1,024 ways to win, is the supplier’s first game to go live through Konami Gaming, Inc.’s remote gaming server (RGS). It will be rolled out on an initial exclusive basis with Rush St, before being made available to all of Lightning Box’s partners on the 27^th September.

Everygame Casino unveiled Desert Raider, an action-packed adventure game with Expanding Wilds and Morphing Symbols, on Wednesday, September 14th. Inspired by Indiana Jones, Desert Raider features an action hero that could be right out of a 1930s film serial. The swaggering adventurer searches ancient Egyptian ruins that hide untold treasures. He’s the game’s Expanding Wild symbol and covers the entire reel whenever he appears.

New from Big Time Gaming comes a glorious, Bond-esque slot-machine caper, and its name is Megaways™ aka Max Megaways™. This six-reel, 117,649 ways-to-win slot is packed with features and is shaking and stirring up the Flutter Network from 14 September. Critics are calling it the blockbuster of the year, with Big Win Board awarding it a “superb” 9 out of ten 10.

Nolimit City has enjoyed the summer with a series of colourful releases, including the bass-heavy ‘The Rave’ and the comically relatable ‘Road Rage’. The provider is not afraid to push the boundaries of what’s possible – and is no stranger to new ideas. So get ready for Nolimit’s take on a cluster game, “The Border”!

Gamzix, igaming development studio, has announced the release of its new video slot – 3х3: Hold the Spin with a lot of fresh fruits and a slice of luck. “3×3” is a 9 symbols slot with 5 fixed lines and Bonus Game with Hold the Spin mechanics. It offers 96.1% RTP with Max Win over x1500. Gamzix filled up this game with colorful and juicy fruits, tasty sounds that make you hungry for the win.

3 Mermaids, the latest slot from the igaming software supplier Tom Horn Gaming, takes players on an underwater adventure where the treasures of the vast seas are patrolled by three wild mermaids. The game’s 3×3, 27-payline grid is located on the ocean floor, surrounded by sea creatures, of which a grumpy anglerfish and an elegant seahorse are the highest paying symbols.

Play’n GO calls upon mighty soldiers for their latest Greek mythology-based title, Gates of Troy. The game’s story is inspired by the Trojan War. Players assume the role of Achilles leading his soldiers to infiltrate the city of Troy.

Pragmatic Play, the major content provider to the iGaming industry, journeys to ancient Egypt in latest slot release Book of Golden Sands™. Played across 6×3 reels, the title is home to high-paying symbols depicting Ancient Egyptian gods, Cleopatra and snakes among others that must form matching combinations across the title’s 729 winning ways to award a win.

Blueprint Gaming has added to its list of memorable game characters with the introduction of Funky Pharaoh Jackpot King, grooving his way across the reels to guide players toward big wins. Following in the footsteps of the developer’s collection of firm player favourites such as the mighty Kong, the all-powerful Genie and its iconic fisherman, the Funky Pharaoh brings a fun and vibrant twist to the popular Egyptian game genre.

Players are invited to pour themselves some moonshine and prepare for some good old fashioned southern hospitality in Yggdrasil and Reflex Gaming’s latest hit game, Hillbilly Vegas. The high volatility 5-reel, 10 payline slot revolves around a thrilling Bonus Wheel that can trigger one of three lucrative features, awarding up to a maximum of 10,000x the stake.

This month, award-winning software providers Swintt is inviting players to join them on a magical adventure to a far-flung fantasy kingdom filled with gallant steeds, fearless maidens and flying fire-breathers in their latest feature-packed Premium slot release, Dragon Lair. Played out across a 5×3 reel matrix that includes 10 fixed pay lines, the new slot does away with the familiar fruit themed symbols that have become such a hallmark of Swintt’s Premium Game catalogue.

Leveraging the vast popularity of personalized and custom experiences, BGaming and Stake collaborated again for an exclusive brand new game, Wild West Bonanza, based on the operator’s and provider’s gaming data and the casino players’ preferences analysis. Built on the refilling-reels mechanics, one of the most popular in BGaming’s portfolio, the western-themed Wild West Bonanza goes with a highly desired by players bonus round with a random up to x100 win multiplier and maximum payout per spin x15000 of a bet.

George Miller

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: Belatra has been a steady hand in the slots world for a long time, but 2025 marked a distinct shift in strategy. By entering the Crash vertical with Goose Boom Bang and winning big at SiGMA Africa, the studio is clearly pivoting to capture the high-growth, high-frequency players in emerging markets. They are no longer just a “classic slots” developer; they are diversifying the portfolio to ensure relevance in regions like LatAm and Africa.

The Full Story

Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has issued a strategic review of its 2025 operations, celebrating a 12-month period defined by entry into new game verticals, significant franchise expansion, and high-profile industry recognition.

The year was characterized by a dual strategy: deepening engagement in established markets while aggressively expanding its content portfolio to suit local preferences in emerging territories.

Portfolio Evolution: Crash and Battles 2025 saw Belatra move beyond its traditional slot roots. The company made its debut in the high-demand Crash game vertical with the launch of Goose Boom Bang, a title designed to tap into the fast-paced gameplay preference of younger demographics.

Additionally, the studio introduced a fresh game concept with the launch of Battles, a new format unveiled for the first time in 2025, with further development planned for 2026.

The ‘Mummyverse’ Expands For fans of classic slots, the highlight of the year was the aggressive expansion of the Mummyverse. Belatra nearly doubled the size of this franchise over the year, making it the most extensive game universe in their entire catalog.

The developer also focused on B2B localization, releasing a number of exclusive bespoke games created specifically for selected operator partners to meet specific local market tastes.

Awards and Recognition The company’s strategic shifts were validated by industry accolades. Belatra secured over 30 nominations throughout the year, with standout wins including:

Best Slot Provider (awarded by BitStarz).
Most Played Game of 2025 for Make It Gold at the SiGMA Africa Awards.
Player’s Pick Award.

Management Commentary Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, commented on the studio’s momentum:

“This year has truly defined who we are as a studio – ambitious, creative and focused on building long-term partnerships. We’ve expanded our universes, launched new ones and entered exciting new markets that will all help us carry this momentum into the New Year.”

‘Chaos and Soul’: Ebaka Games Plots Global Expansion After Viral Launch

George Miller

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: The “Instant Game” vertical (Crash, Plinko, Mines) is becoming crowded, but Ebaka Games is cutting through the noise with a distinct brand personality. By securing BMM Testlabs certification so quickly after launch, they are signaling to Tier 1 operators that despite their “chaotic” marketing vibe, the math underneath is solid and compliant. The backing of industry veteran Dmitry Belianin also adds immediate commercial credibility to the startup.

The Full Story

Ebaka Games, the fledgling studio that promises to bring “chaos and soul” to the iGaming sector, has outlined an aggressive growth strategy for 2026 following a landmark launch period in late 2025.

The studio, which officially debuted in November, reports that its initial rollout reached more than five million people worldwide. The launch saw its portfolio go live with the operator Menace, serving as the initial testbed for its mechanics and “Ebaka modes.”

The Product: Instant Games with Personality Ebaka is bypassing traditional slots to focus on the high-growth vertical of fast-paced, instant-win games. Their initial lineup includes:

Plinko
Mines
Tower
Limbo
Crash

Differentiation is achieved through unique mascots and signature gameplay tweaks designed to offer high win potential and distinct visual identities, moving away from the generic interfaces often found in this genre.

Regulatory Milestone Crucially for its 2026 roadmap, Ebaka Games has confirmed it has secured certification from BMM Testlabs. This accreditation validates the fairness and integrity of its RNG (Random Number Generator) and game engines, removing a major barrier to entry for regulated markets. With this certification in hand, the studio plans to launch with a number of “major brands” in the coming year.

Management Commentary Vitalii Zalievskyi, CEO of Ebaka Games, commented on the studio’s unorthodox approach:

“It’s only been a few weeks since we first introduced Ebaka Games to the world. The feedback has been breathtaking, and it vindicates the decision for us to take a different path to the rest of the industry. You don’t need huge marketing budgets to grab people’s attention if you are building something truly innovative.”

Industry Backing The studio describes itself as being “created by players for players” but boasts significant industry firepower in its corner. The team includes Dmitry Belianin, a well-known figure in the sector who is the co-founder of Blask and Menace, as well as Managing Partner at Already Media.

Racing Meets Nightlife: SBK Backs ARC’s New ‘Friday Night Live’ Series

Published

George Miller

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: British racing has a well-documented demographic problem; its core audience is aging. “Friday Night Live” is a direct attempt to fix this by blending high-stakes racing with the “experience economy” (DJs, nightlife vibes) that appeals to Gen Z and Millennials. Bringing SBK on board—a mobile-first, app-only sportsbook—is a perfect demographic fit, while the Racing Post adds the necessary credibility to ensure the actual racing product remains the focus.

The Full Story

Arena Racing Company (ARC) has unveiled the strategic commercial lineup for its upcoming Friday Night Live series, confirming SBK as the Exclusive Betting Partner and The Racing Post as the Official Media Partner.

Set to launch in January 2026, Friday Night Live is a new initiative created in collaboration with youth-focused events company INVADES. The series is designed to overhaul the traditional race day experience, featuring fast-paced fixtures under floodlights, DJ sets, and significant entertainment elements sandwiched between races.

The Commercial Deal

SBK: As the exclusive betting partner, the Smarkets-owned sportsbook will take naming rights and on-course branding for all 35 races. Crucially, these races will be broadcast live on mainstream television via ITV Racing as well as Sky Sports Research.
The Racing Post: As the Official Media Partner, the publication will provide content, coverage, and promotion across its digital platforms, aiming to bridge the gap between established racing purists and the new audience ARC hopes to attract.

A High-Stakes Experiment The series is not just a marketing exercise; it carries serious sporting weight. Each of the five scheduled nights will feature over £200,000 in prize money. The fixtures will rotate across three of ARC’s all-weather tracks: Wolverhampton, Newcastle, and Southwell.

Management Commentary David Leyden Dunbar, Group Director of Commercial Strategy at ARC, was clear about the target audience:

“We have been very clear that one of the aims of Friday Night Live is to engage the next generation of racing fans… Both [partners] have shown real enthusiasm to work with us… as well as using the platform that these fixtures will offer them to also engage with more established racing and sports fans.”

Adam Baylis, Marketing Director at SBK, added:

“Friday Night Live [is] a fresh and engaging concept that brings a new energy to British racing. SBK has always been built around sport… our focus is on enhancing the live race day experience in a fun, social and responsible way.”

The 2026 Schedule The series kicks off immediately in the new year:
