Amusnet has released a new game for those who enjoy classic slot games with a dice twist. The latest addition to the company’s Online Casino, 100 Golden Coins Dice Edition, comes to life in March to provide a fun gaming experience to all dice lovers.

This 5-reel, 100-fixed-payline game combines the classic slot game and dice symbols in entertaining gameplay. It features high-quality graphics, lively sound effects and exciting features to keep players engaged.

The newest video slot has a smooth and user-friendly design. Thanks to a variety of symbols and special features, players can easily navigate through the game and enjoy themselves to the fullest.

Watch out for the Wild 7, which substitutes for all symbols except for the Star Scatter, the Bonus Golden Dice, and the Golden Piggy Collect. The Bonus Golden Dice symbol appears anywhere on the first, second, third, and fourth reels and has a certain monetary value displayed on it. If a Golden Piggy Collect symbol lands on the fifth reel, the values of the collected Golden Dice are added to the player’s current winnings.

Mystery Nudge Feature

The feature is triggered mysteriously on the fifth reel only in case at least one Bonus Golden Dice symbol is present, there is no Golden Piggy Collect symbol, and no wins are displayed on the screen. These conditions must be met simultaneously.

Play the game and multiply the winnings through the Gamble Feature.

The Jackpot Cards Bonus game is triggered at random during the gameplay to allow players to win impressive jackpots.

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming has launched the sequel to its 2024 Arctic-themed hit with the release of Big Bite Push Ways.

The title will debut the provider’s new mechanic, Push Ways. This mechanic features nudging Hot Zones, which splits any symbol within the overlay into two. This increases the number of available ways to 262,144 and drives engagement.

Blending innovative mechanics with Big Bite’s original theme, the slot creates an experience that enhances gameplay and leverages the enduring popularity of fishing games.

Creating added excitement and win potential, the Hot Zone will begin to nudge down the reels by one for each successive spin, creating suspense in every spin.

Big Bite Push Ways provides instant prizes and lucrative jackpots, which can also be split to increase in value further. The Instant Prizes and Jackpots must be collected by an Orca collect symbol.

At least three scatter symbols are needed in the base game to grant entry to the Free Spins, where each Orca that lands will progress players towards an increasing multiplier and unlock extra spins.

Big Bite Push Ways builds upon the ever-popular fishing-themed slot genre and follows a string of popular releases for the provider, including Power Vault, Mad Blast, and Dragon Hopper.

Jack Marshall, Game Producer at Push Gaming, said: Big Bite Push Ways is in many ways the perfect sequel. It retains the aesthetics that made the original so popular whilst introducing a variety of game-changing mechanics, which will appeal to both new and existing fans of the original.

“The title provides numerous ways for players to win big, from jackpots and instant win prizes to more traditional symbol wins that can be enhanced by the Hot Zone. With so many features available for players to sink their teeth into, we are excited to be returning to the Arctic Ocean.”
