Relax Gaming, the leading iGaming aggregator and content provider, is taking players on an exhilarating snowy adventure with the launch of Winter Champions, a sports-themed slot that propels players through the mountain tops in pursuit of golden victories.

At the heart of Winter Champions is the innovative Sliding Respins mechanic, ensuring the reels remain active as long as winning combinations continue to land, adding a layer of non-stop excitement to the gameplay.

With a maximum win potential of 6,000x the player’s bet, this dynamic slot is designed to captivate both sports fans and slot enthusiasts alike.

The game’s standout features are its three thrilling bonus rounds—Ski Jumping, Ice Hockey, and Curling—triggered when three Wild symbols are on the reels at the same time.

In the Ski Jumping Bonus, each Rolling Respin brings players closer to the top prize, with Wilds boosting rewards by up to 5x. The Ice Hockey Bonus sees players collect pucks and score goals to multiply their values, while the Curling Bonus offers the challenge of stacking stones to unlock reel-filling multipliers.

Designed with stunning visuals and a festive atmosphere, Winter Champions is set to become a go-to for players looking for dynamic gameplay and the potential for big wins.

Shelley Hannah, CPO at Relax Gaming, said: “We are excited to introduce Winter Champions, a slot that truly captures the excitement and competitive spirit of winter sports. The Sliding Respins mechanic adds dynamic gameplay, while the three unique bonus games ensure there’s something for everyone.”

“We believe this game will deliver hours of fun and plenty of big-win potential for players that will continue beyond the winter season.”

Established as one of the industry’s leading B2B suppliers, Relax Gaming was awarded GGA’s Product Launch of the Year in February 2023 for Dream Drop Jackpots. Money Train 3 was named the 2023 CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards amongst its 6 Slot of the Year titles, while the brand also won the award for Skill Games Supplier at the 2023 EGR B2B Awards along with the Innovation in Mobile award at the 2023 SBC Awards.

Relax Gaming provides more than 4,000 online casino games, from its high-performing proprietary slots to a significant, varied library of content from hand-picked third-party studios via its partnership programmes.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has revealed its latest immersive slot, Dolce Dreams, offering a sweet twist on the classic Italian café culture, with the experience designed for high engagement and substantial win potential.

Set against the backdrop of a charming streetside cafe, Dolce Dreams features stacked Wilds in the form of waffle ice creams, which substitute for other symbols to maximise winning combinations.

The game’s Ice Cream Collector feature activates when the Ice Cream Collector symbol appears anywhere on the reels, collecting all values from the Ice Cream symbols in view for delicious rewards.

Three or more Free Spins symbols will trigger the Free Spins, which can be retriggered as players look to land wins that will make their tastebuds tingle.

In certain jurisdictions, users can access Free Spins directly by opting for the Bonus Buy feature, with the choice of buying 10, 15, or 20 spins.

It is the latest title to join Evoplay’s portfolio, following successful launches such as Hercules: Sports Legend and Chained Fighters.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “With Dolce Dreams, we’ve captured the beauty of Italian café culture in a straightforward yet rewarding game structure, focusing on player engagement and dynamic gameplay.”

“As we continue to grow our portfolio, we look forward to strengthening our partnerships by offering innovative content that appeals to a broad audience.”
