Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has elevated its portfolio with the release of its huge new instant game, X Towers.

Belatra’s new instant game title sets players the challenge of scaling a tower, where each floor brings new challenges and the chance for mega rewards. The majestic tower at the game’s foundation is divided into nine increasingly difficult floors. Each level is made from a set of blocks, with the correct selection carrying players one level further towards greater potential winnings. This latest release combines strategic decision-making with high-stakes excitement, offering a dynamic and engaging experience.

Players either risk-averse or willing to push the limits are both catered for as before beginning the climb they can select their level of risk – Light, Medium, Hard, Expert and Master.

An initial choice sets the stage or the gameplay, as each floor presents a fresh set of decisions that can advance players up the tower or result in sudden failure.

After each successful level rise, players can cash out their winnings or risk it all to continue their way up. The stakes increase with each floor, adding to the anticipation. There is an auto-play option for those wanting to speed up the results to discover whether they will reach the top.

Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “X Towers is terrific fun and is bound to quickly rise the ranks as one of our top performing games. This engaging, but challenging game will absorb players in their bid to reach the penthouse where the big cash resides.”

Blueprint Gaming breathes new eternal life into a blooded 80’s cult classic in its latest release, The Lost Boys™, where an alluring bonus game and cash features lead the way, complemented by the studio’s thrilling new jackpot mechanic.

Against an eerie back drop of the Santa Carla amusement park, the film’s iconic characters occupy the 5×3 grid alongside two different cash collect and fang-themed bonus symbols.

Landing a Cash Collect symbol on the rightmost reel will see all Cash Collect Mooncash symbols in view collected. Alternatively, if a Respin Collect lands, the same process takes place which is then followed by a respin and sees the values of any additional cash symbols gathered.

The Boost Collect strengthens any Cash Symbols in view by up to 5x the bet before collecting the values, with the Super Collect symbol collecting any Cash symbols in view up to 5x.

Hitting three of the fang-themed scatter symbols triggers the game’s bonus feature where 10 free spins are awarded. The Cash Collect feature remains active throughout the additional round and gathering three, six, nine or 12 Collect symbols will grant free spins and respective multipliers rising to 10x.

Players should also keep an eye out for an array of modifiers which have the potential to drop during any spin. Features such as Blood Lust see wild symbols randomly added to the grid with the One of Us feature removing low-value symbols and replacing them with icons guaranteeing a win.

The Lost Boys™ also sees slot enthusiasts benefit from Blueprint Gaming’s new networked Jackpot system, Rapid Fire Jackpots™. Landing five Rapid Fire symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the Rapid Fire Wheel, offering stake multiplier wins ranging from 5x to 1,000x or one of five progressive pots from Mini to Mega King.

The Lost Boys™ marks the latest release from Blueprint Gaming’s jam-packed summer slot schedule, underlining the studio’s ability to transform cinema and pop culture into engaging slot brands, building on player-favourites ted™, The Goonies™ and Rick and Morty™.

Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing, PR and Events at Blueprint Gaming, said: “We’re delighted to take players for a trip down memory lane and bring to life the renowned 80’s cult classic through our feature packed The Lost Boys™.

“Lavish collect symbols pave the way for high win potential with a host of modifiers and a captivating bonus game adding an extra thrill to gameplay. Join Michael, David and the Frog brothers for an eternal party not to be missed!”
