Tom Horn Gaming Unveils Book of Azure â Max Goldâs Next Epic Adventure
Â
Tom Horn Gaming, a leading iGaming software supplier, announces the release of Book of Azure, the second slot in its Max Gold series.
This Egyptian-themed online slot takes players to Ancient Egypt, combining the proven appeal of the classic âBook ofâ mechanic with new features designed to maximise player engagement, boost retention, and increase operator revenues.
Played on a 5-reel grid with 9 winlines, the game offers medium volatility, an RTP of 94.99%, and a maximum win potential of 500x the bet. Its combination of steady payout potential and multiple win opportunities encourages longer player sessions and repeat visits.
Classic âBook ofâ Mechanic Meets Coin Collection
Book of Azure combines the timeless charm of a âBook ofâ formula with Shatter Mode â Tom Hornâs signature feature â and enhances it with a popular Coin Collection mechanic to create richer and more rewarding gameplay.
When Book symbols land in the base game, they contribute to a Coin Pot above the reels. The bonus round â 10 retriggerable free spins â can be triggered either by landing 3 Book symbols during Shatter Mode or randomly via the Coin Pot, adding unpredictability and fresh win potential at any moment.
Once triggered, one symbol is chosen at random to act as a special expanding symbol throughout the bonus game. This expands to cover reels when part of a winning combination, boosting the chance of solid hits. A progressive multiplier increases from x1 up to x4 during the free spins round.
Cascading Wins and Multipliers
The gameâs Shatter Mode brings fast-paced, cascading win sequences. Each win removes symbols from the reels, with new ones falling into place and a win multiplier increasing up to x4 with each consecutive cascade.
The feature ends when no new wins appear or the maximum multiplier is reached.
For players eager to get straight to the action, the Bonus Buy option allows instant access to free spins for 50x the total bet. âWith Book of Azure, we wanted to evolve the classic âbook ofâ gameplay by fusing it with mechanics players love â cascading wins and coin collection â while continuing Max Goldâs story,â said Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming. âItâs an action-packed game with a familiar feel, but enough innovation to keep players coming back for more.â
Max Goldâs latest adventure opens up new opportunities for operators looking to offer players trusted mechanics with fresh, engaging twists. Book of Azure is available to Tom Horn Gaming partners as of 14 August 2025.

Faster Guest Entry at Koreaâs INSPIRE Entertainment Resortâs Casino, Powered by Regulaâs Technology
Â
International guests arriving at South Koreaâs largest foreigner-only casino, INSPIRE Entertainment Resort, now enjoy a significantly faster and more seamless check-in experience. Customer onboarding times have noticeably improved following the integration of Regulaâs advanced identity verification technology. Regula Document Reader SDK, the most comprehensive ID verification solution in the world, integrates with the resortâs anti-money laundering (AML) procedures, boosting operational efficiency and compliance.
Seeking to enhance operational efficiency and meet evolving AML requirements, INSPIRE Entertainment Resort sought a faster and more accurate solution. The resort, which features a high-volume casino catering exclusively to foreign guests, needed a system capable of recognizing passports from around the globe with minimal friction.
Following vendor evaluations, INSPIRE selected Regula Document Reader SDK for its superior document reading speed, intuitive interface, and unmatched global ID coverage. Regulaâs solution is powered by the companyâs proprietary ID template databaseâthe worldâs largestâcovering 15,000+ document templates across 254 countries and territories.
Deployed across six entrance stations, Regula Document Reader SDK enables real-time extraction and validation of critical ID data, such as name, date of birth, nationality, and passport number. This data is then passed directly to INSPIREâs AML system, which in turn performs automated screening against external compliance and watchlist databases.
Since deploying Regula Document Reader SDK, INSPIRE Entertainment Resort casino has experienced:
- Faster document processing and guest entry.
- Significant reduction in manual rescans and staff workload.
- Consistently smooth onboarding, even during peak entry hours.
âAs the team responsible for passport scanning at the casino, weâre very satisfied with the improvements Regula has brought. The speed of document processing has noticeably increased, and guest entry has become much smoother. Itâs a reliable solution that has elevated the efficiency of our daily operations,â says Dr. Ilnam Lee, IT Director at INSPIRE Entertainment Resort.
âIn industries like hospitality, every second counts. Weâre happy to support INSPIRE Entertainment Resort in creating a faster and more secure guest onboarding experience while meeting strict AML requirements. Our focus is to make accurate identity verification seamless, even in complex international scenarios, and this project is a great example of that in action,â says Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula.
