Three-Pot Power Combo™ elevates this amphibian adventure

Games Global exclusive studio Fortune Factory Studios™ has launched 333 Fat Frogs™ Power Combo™, introducing three individual bonus features upping the ante for players in search of a one-of-a-kind gameplay experience and plentiful prizes.

This fun-filled title sees three colourful amphibians take centre stage, eating tokens on the reel that corresponds with their colour to boost the value of their individual pots. When full, the frogs burst with joy and a bonus game is triggered, creating a dynamic experience packed with twists and turns and high win potential.

When the bonus features are activated, players are hopped into a world of free spins. Blue tokens can add up to a whopping 40 spins while red tokens boost the player’s free spins multiplier by 0.5x each time, all the way up to 10x. Red tokens could also trigger free spins, bringing along the accumulated multiplier for even bigger wins.

All-important gold tokens can improve the chances of landing one of the title’s five jackpots. These tokens also grant a chance of triggering free spins with the jackpots in play, offering a huge maximum prize of 12,500x a player’s stake.

Mystery symbols play a pivotal role in the game as these transforms into a random symbol before pays are evaluated, potentially revealing tokens that are collected by the corresponding frog, adding an extra layer of excitement with each spin.

Wild symbols come into play and substitute for all except mystery symbols, potentially leading to even bigger wins, adding another layer of excitement to the action on the reels.

President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev has signed a decree on April 19 titled “On Measures to Improve the Regulation of the Organization and Conduct of Lotteries and Risk-Based Games in the Republic of Uzbekistan”. The document abolishes the ban starting from January 1, 2025, and introduces a legal framework for the organisation of risk-based games online and betting activities.

The issue of legalising betting activities has been a long-standing topic in Uzbekistan. In December 2019, the president signed a decree to legalise bookmakers, but this decision was revised in April 2022. In April 2023, the head of state instructed the development of a regulatory framework for betting activities.

The National Agency for Advanced Projects (NAAP), the authorised state body for regulating and licensing activities in this sector, provided insights on the necessity of introducing state regulation in the gambling sector in Uzbekistan. The agency emphasised the need to prevent illegal gambling businesses, protect players’ rights and generate additional income for the state budget.

The president’s decree aims to introduce advanced foreign experience and modern technologies in regulating the organisation of risk-based games and lotteries to increase investment attractiveness, tourist potential and attract additional funds to the country.

The measures outlined in the decree include the creation of legal foundations for the legalisation of activities related to risk-based games online, betting activities, and lotteries, implementation of mechanisms to protect citizens’ rights and interests, prevention of gambling addiction and the generation of additional state budget revenue.

Starting from January 1, 2025, a taxation system will be introduced for license holders, where organisers of online games, betting activities and lotteries will pay a turnover tax. This system aims to prevent the concealment of taxable revenue and is expected to generate additional tax revenues for the state budget.

Overall, the implementation of the decree is intended to establish a reliable foundation for the legal regulation of activities related to organising risk-based games online, betting activities and lotteries in Uzbekistan, protect citizens’ interests, combat gambling addiction and provide additional sources of income for the state budget.
