Games Global and Nailed It! Games Revisit Ancient Greece in Raging Gods: Olympus 2 POWER COMBO™

(AsiaGameHub) -   Enhanced POWER COMBO mechanics and a broader feature set drive the updated sequel Games Global, in collaboration with its exclusive studio partner Nailed It! Games, has launched Raging Gods: Olympus 2 POWER COMBO. This sequel, themed around Greek mythology, focuses on an upgraded POWER COMBO bonus game and offers a top win potential of 5,000x the stake. Located on the mountaintops of Olympus, this 5×3 slot with 20 paylines enhances the original game by introducing new feature modifiers like Prize Double and the Power Symbol, adding greater diversity to every spin. The core gameplay revolves around the POWER COMBO bonus game, triggerable by any bonus symbol. When activated, all symbols landing on that spin grant their specific modifiers. Features making a comeback are the Prize Booster, which can multiply Prize Symbol values up to 5x; Extra Collect, which gathers all displayed cash prizes without clearing the symbols; and Instant Jackpot, which awards one of four set jackpot prizes. Fresh introductions are Prize Double, doubling the value of all Prize Symbols on the reels, and the Power Symbol, which enhances individual prize values as the game progresses. Completing the SUPER collection can also unlock the POWER COMBO feature, setting off two or more mechanics simultaneously. Within the bonus feature, Jackpot Gem Symbols accumulate towards four fixed jackpots: the Mini (10x), Minor (20x), Major (200x), and Mega (5,000x), with players able to win several jackpots in one round. By merging a familiar mythological backdrop with a wide array of game mechanics, Raging Gods: Olympus 2 POWER COMBO presents a strong new entry to the expanding Games Global portfolio. Paweł Piotrowski, Co-Founder at Nailed It! Games, said: “Raging Gods: Olympus 2 POWER COMBO evolves the first game by introducing greater versatility to the POWER COMBO bonus. “Incorporating Prize Double and the Power Symbol enabled us to broaden the combinations of features, introducing more variety to every gameplay round.” David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, said: “In Raging Gods: Olympus 2 POWER COMBO, Nailed It! Games has advanced a successful formula—infusing it with more depth, excitement, and fresh avenues for player interaction. “It represents a definite upgrade for the franchise and solidifies the appeal of this thematic setting across the Games Global collection.” This article is provided by a third-party.

SportyBet遭遇法庭挫折,9亿奈拉纠纷仍未解决

(AsiaGameHub) -   In 2024, SportyBet Nigeria blocked the accounts of multiple customers before launching legal action against them, alleging the users manipulated the platform to secure large payout sums. The affected users, who claim they are owed more than N900 million in total winnings, rejected the accusations and brought their case to social media to seek public support. With no settlement reached between the two sides, SportyBet escalated the dispute to court. The company applied for an ex parte order to bar the customers from speaking publicly about the issue, accused the users of financial misconduct, and is also seeking N50 million in damages. In its official court filing, SportyBet asked the court to prevent the customers from making additional statements or posting about the dispute online, while upholding its allegations of misconduct and continuing to pursue financial compensation. However, the court dismissed all of SportyBet's claims, finding the betting operator failed to submit sufficient evidence to back its assertions. The judge ruled that “the claimant is not entitled to any of the reliefs… This suit is dismissed.” Despite bringing allegations of system manipulation against the customers, SportyBet presented no evidence to prove its claim. Court records also show the company did not pursue arguments related to a cyberattack, and instead relied on unproven defamation claims. As a result, the dispute over the reported N900 million in winnings remains unresolved. This article is provided by a third-party.

Midnite App Lands Historic Bet in the Cosmos

Midnite ranks among the fastest-growing betting companies operating in the UK The bet was placed from an altitude of 124,000 feet, as a demonstration of digital exploration Midnite’s core "Built Different" ethos is perfectly embodied by this space launch initiative England and Premier League icon Gareth Barry has backed England to win the World Cup Midnite will donate £10,000 to the Bobby Moore Fund as part of this campaign (AsiaGameHub) -   Midnite, one of the fastest-expanding betting and casino operators across the globe, has today proven its "BUILT DIFFERENT" reputation in dramatic fashion, as it becomes the first ever betting app to successfully place a wager from space. In a campaign that showcases the company’s cutting-edge digital innovation, Midnite dispatched a specially equipped device into space. After reaching the remarkable altitude of 124,000 feet, the Midnite app went on to demonstrate its impressive digital capabilities by completing a successful bet placement. The craft, fitted with a fully functional mechanical astronaut hand, executed the wager successfully, making history in the process as the first betting app ever to place a bet from space. The specific wager placed was a bet on England to win the World Cup, an outcome users can currently back at 6/1 odds through Midnite’s sportsbook mobile app. Backed by former England international midfielder Gareth Barry, this campaign was developed to highlight Midnite’s out-of-this-world ambitions, while also showcasing the intuitive user-friendliness of the app itself. Callum Wilson, Senior PR Manager at Midnite, commented: “By sending our app all the way to space, we are showing our customers that we are truly Built Different. We have huge aspirations at Midnite to stand out from other operators in the sector, and becoming the first app to place a bet in space felt like an excellent way to achieve that. “Our design and product teams are incredibly proud of the app we have built, and being able to showcase its capabilities even in another stratosphere perfectly reflects the lofty position Midnite aims to reach. “The World Cup is obviously a massive moment for sports fans across the globe, and excitement is building everywhere, whether at home, overseas, or even up in space! It was a pleasure to work with Gareth Barry, whose confidence in Tuchel’s side led him to back England for World Cup victory, and if that bet pays out, Midnite will donate £10,000 to the Bobby Moore Fund as part of this campaign.” Gareth Barry, former England midfielder who represented his country at the 2010 World Cup, added: “I am fully confident that this current England squad has all the qualities needed to win the World Cup. They now have plenty of experience competing in major international tournaments, and they have a world-class manager to guide them to that next step. Just like Midnite, I believe this side is Built Different, and I wanted to back them in a totally unprecedented way. “Getting the chance to place a charity bet on England winning is great in itself, but to see Midnite actually make it happen from space is amazing. “I couldn’t believe my eyes watching the thumb move to place the bet in such a breathtaking setting. “The app is clearly built different to function seamlessly at such a high altitude. I think England are too, which is why I’m convinced they can win the World Cup.” “Midnite is really shaking up the industry right now, and to be involved in a campaign like this where they keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible is something I’m really happy to be part of.” Midnite collaborated on this project with Sent Into Space, whose mission is to make space more accessible than ever by creating high-impact, memorable space experiences. Midnite is continuing to solidify its reputation as the most innovative betting and gaming app available in the UK.

New scratchcard format merges fast-paced play with instant payouts

  (AsiaGameHub) -   Gaming Corps, a publicly traded game development company headquartered in Sweden, has introduced Instant Blitz, a new product category, with its inaugural release also named Instant Blitz. This new offering is designed for rapid gameplay and immediate payouts. As the debut title within the Instant Blitz category, Instant Blitz features four rounds played on a 3x6 active grid. Clusters of three or more matching symbols result in prizes being added to a central Prize Pot. As symbols are collected, new ones appear, maintaining continuous action and an easily understandable format from the outset. This fast pace is enhanced by a collection of features that can rapidly alter the game's structure. Lightning symbols activate an inactive row, expanding the grid up to 6x6 and increasing winning opportunities. Wheel symbols trigger a bonus round with guaranteed rewards ranging from 5x to 1,000x the player's stake. The experience is further enriched by Multiplier and Extra Rounds symbols. The Multiplier feature doubles the total Prize Pot win, while Extra Rounds award two additional rounds, extending gameplay and providing players with more chances to increase their overall return.   Alexandros Mavroudis, Product Owner at Gaming Corps, stated: “Instant Blitz represents an exciting launch for us as it introduces a novel approach to scratchcard-style content. Our aim was to develop something that retains the immediate gratification players expect from this format while incorporating more structure and moments of anticipation within a single session. The outcome is a game that appears fast and accessible on the surface but possesses greater depth beneath.” He further commented: “From expanding grids and collectible features to guaranteed rewards and Prize Pot progression, Instant Blitz offers operators a product that occupies a distinct niche between traditional instant win games and more feature-rich game designs. This format has the potential to appeal to a wide audience while still providing sufficient variation and momentum to keep the experience engaging.” The release also accommodates low entry stakes, with bets starting from as little as 5p, making Instant Blitz a versatile, low-barrier addition for operators looking to broaden their instant win offerings with a format that bridges the gap between scratchcards and slots.
