Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has diversified its instant games portfolio with Cursed Castle, a fantasy-themed release that offers simple yet engaging gameplay.

The title invites players to take on the role of the commander of the royal cannon, taking aim at a fortified tower. The cannon can either be shot at random or targeted at a selected position on the castle. Watching over the castle is a vigilant wizard who can block cannonballs and reset the multiplier back to zero.

With every precise hit, a multiplier reward is awarded, beginning at 2x and increasing incrementally until the maximum win is reached or if players cash out.

Adding extra excitement, a Critical Strike can land at random, immediately granting players the maximum win of 32x.

Marking a departure from similar sports-themed releases such as B-Ball Blitz and Hockey Shootout, Evoplay’s newest instant game reaffirms its dedication to evolving its portfolio across various verticals.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Cursed Castle immerses players in a fantasy world, where they can gain multiplier rewards by striking down the wizard’s tower. Adding more thrills than before, players can land a Critical Strike, offering the chance for the maximum win from a single shot.

“Diversifying the accessible yet entertaining gameplay found in our instant games with fresh themes and settings will capture new audiences. By incorporating a popular fantasy theme, Cursed Castle is poised to become another standout addition in Evoplay’s portfolio.”

With the 2024 Olympics just around the corner ReelPlay partner Boomerang Games and Yggdrasil have come together once more to showcase their latest feature-filled hit, YEAR OF OLYMPIA WildEnergy™.

This 720-ways Greek-themed slot invites players to step into the heart of the amphitheatre where they must spin to win up to 3,265x by way of Yggdrasil’s WildEnergy Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM), Hold & Respins and Free Spins.

The WildEnergy GEM sees any wild symbols persist on subsequent spins as they make their way down the reel one row at a time until reaching the bottom. Should three WildEnergy symbols land at once the Hold & Respin feature is triggered.

The Hold & Respin feature awards players three spins which reset every time a special symbol lands. Wild symbols collect all coin prizes in view on every spin, upgrader symbols increase the value of all coins, and collector symbols collect all prizes shown.

Landing three scatter symbols will trigger the free spins feature. During this a wild symbol is added to the top of reel three. The feature only comes to an end when there are no more wild symbols anywhere on the reels. The luckiest players will find it possible to trigger a feature within a feature.

YEAR OF OLYMPIA WildEnergy™ is the latest game developed by Boomerang Games, which thanks to its agreement with ReelPlay, can provide standout content as part of the YGG Masters program. YEAR OF OLYMPIA WildEnergy follows in the footsteps of Boomerang’s recently released hit Goblin’s Bargain MultiMax.

The title is powered by GATI, with Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology enabling partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to consistently produce cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.

Zoe Bird, Senior Product & Program Manager at Yggdrasil, said: “We are delighted to turn back time and thrill players with this wonderful Greek epic. YEAR OF OLYMPIA WildEnergy is filled to the brim with unique features and mechanics including our hugely popular WildEnergy GEM that promises to keep players entertained!”

David Johnson, CEO at ReelPlay, said: “YEAR OF OLYMPIA WildEnergy is packed full of Boomerang smarts as well as Yggdrasil’s signature WildEnergy GEM. We are confident players and operators alike will reap the rewards from this Olympic-themed slot based on the grandest contest of them all.”
