Spinomenal delivers Wild Santa Hold & Hit for the festive season
Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal is celebrating the festive period by unwrapping its Wild Santa Hold & Hit title. The game is presented in a 3×5 frame set within a roaring fireplace, with stockings adorning the mantelpiece.
A cheerful soundtrack raises the Christmas cheer as players try to find Wild symbols around the hearth. Three or four Wild symbols will only pay out when followed by free spins or a bonus symbol. The Wild will represent any symbol other than free spins and bonus symbols.
Three Scatter Free Spins symbols will initiate the Free Spins game. In the base game, these Scatter Free Spins symbols are only found on reels 1, 3, and 5. Three Scattered symbols will grant players
three Free Spins and multiply the total bet by three. Once in free spins, any symbol can appear as a colossus symbol (3×3), spreading over the centre of the slot across reels 2 to 4. Any scattered symbol (bonus or free spins) will only hit as a colossus symbol and trigger the feature. A Free Spins colossus symbol will award players with three more free spins and pay x3 the total bet.
The Hold & Hit is the highlight of the game. Six or more Scatter bonus symbols trigger the Bonus game, where the symbols that activated the feature remain locked in place. Players start with three spins and once the empty spots are filled or when the spins are finished, the game will finish.
Every spin has the potential to complete the remaining empty slots and award players with prizes ranging from x1 – x10 multiplier of the total bet. The Mini Jackpot – pays x25 total bet, Major Jackpot – pays x50 total bet and the Mega Jackpot – pays x250 total bet. Each time a spin produces a win, the spin counter resets to three. Players who manage to cover all 15 spots will unwrap the Grand Jackpot and a prize of x5000 the total bet.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “The festive season is the time for giving and our Wild Santa Hold & Hit is the perfect gift for players. Wild Santa will deliver fun on the reels time after time and the Hold & Hit feature adds to the excitement.”

SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator: Largest Content Hub Certified in Brazil
The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, the largest content hub in the iGaming industry, has secured Brazilian certification, becoming one of the first in the market to achieve this milestone.
Regulatory rules for iGaming come into effect in Brazil on 1 January 2025. According to them, platforms, aggregators, sportsbooks, and providers must undergo certification. Companies aiming to provide their services in Brazil in 2025 and beyond have been preparing for this transition throughout the year.
The SOFTSWISS team announces that its Game Aggregator is the first to fully comply with regulations, completing all necessary preparations and receiving the certificate to ensure smooth and efficient operations for its clients.
SOFTSWISS has also obtained certification for integration with the world’s largest game providers – Pragmatic Play, Evolution, and Playtech. These providers offer a diverse range of games tailored to suit the preferences of Brazilian players, from immersive live dealer experiences to engaging slots and table games, ensuring entertainment for every type of player.
According to recent Kantar research conducted in November 2024, the overall satisfaction index for the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is 8.1 out of 10. Remarkably, half of the respondents rated the product a 10 or 9. Customer support service satisfaction scored even higher, at 8.4 out of 10.
The Game Aggregator also boasts a key advantage: consistent 99.999% uptime, which is crucial for the iGaming business.
Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, notes: “According to our information, the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is the first aggregator fully prepared, both technically and legally, to work in Brazil when the new regulations take effect. This is a significant achievement that the team has worked on diligently and systematically. Our work doesn’t stop here – we are actively adding new providers to help our clients expand their presence in this promising Brazilian market, which is no longer ‘the sleeping giant’. It has awakened, and SOFTSWISS is at the forefront of this exciting transformation.”
To support this high level of performance, earlier this year SOFTSWISS appointed Rubens Barrichello, the Brazilian Formula 1 legend, as a Non-Executive Director, demonstrating its strong commitment to the local market. To ensure efficient operations and promptly address ongoing matters, SOFTSWISS also has a dedicated team of local business development managers in Brazil.
SOFTSWISS team will be available to discuss partnership in Brazil and other markets at the first major iGaming event of 2025 – ICE Barcelona, taking place on 20–22 January, at stand 2G42.
