Gaming Corps, a publicly listed game studio based in Sweden, is excited to announce the release of Lobster Hotspot 2: Even Hotter, the sequel to the hugely popular Lobster Hotpot.

This exciting and vibrant underwater adventure invites players to dive back into the ocean’s depths in search of mouth-watering lobsters and huge prizes. With up to 10,000x the player’s stake up for grabs, this aquatic adventure teems with exciting awards and bonuses waiting to be discovered.

The action unfolds across a 5-reel, 3-row grid, with 10 active paylines on every single spin. Keep your eyes peeled for any Lobster symbols displaying prizes landing with the Hotpot Collect symbol. When this happens, the Lobster is collected and paid out, with up to 1,000x the player’s stake available through this feature.

The fun doesn’t stop there, though. Landing three or more Scatter symbols in the base game will trigger the Free Spins round, where players can reel in even bigger catches.

Before the round begins, players can gamble to win additional spins. A wheel displaying red and green segments is spun. Hit the green and increase your spins; hit the red, and your spins are lost.

Any Lobster symbol that lands without a Collect symbol is collected in a Clam Shell, with all prizes accumulating and then collected when a Collect symbol lands, leading to massive wins.

Every fourth Hotspot Collect symbol that lands will re-trigger the bonus, reward an additional 10 free spins, and increase the value of Lobster symbols by 2x,3x, and 10x on the first, second and third re-triggers.

Lobster Hotpot 2 is the latest in a string of exciting releases from Gaming Corps. Titles like Expanding Joker and Buffalo Bash Smash4Cash™ have also hit virtual shelves in recent months, cementing the company’s position as one of the most creative forces in the iGaming industry.

Connor Blinman, Head of Games at Gaming Corps, said: “The first Lobster Hotpot game was incredibly popular, and we’re excited to bring players back into that captivating world with even more excitement in Lobster Hotpot 2: Even Hotter.

At Gaming Corps, we believe you can never have too much of a good thing. With Lobster Hotpot 2, we’ve significantly increased the game’s winning potential, sharpened the graphics, and amplified the game’s bonuses, providing players with an even more fulfilling gaming experience.”

On October 9th, 2024, Olybet, a fresh entrant to the sports betting market, officially launched in France. This new platform aims to offer French bettors another option in the growing industry of online sports wagering. Olybet has set out to carve its place in an already competitive market.

The French sports betting market has been quite active recently, with the launch of another betting site last week. Olybet is the fourth bookmaker to open its doors in less than a year. Betsson started operating in France in November 2023, and CircusBet has just made its debut also in 2024, which has brought a breath of fresh air to the sports betting market, in a market where new betting sites are normally rather rare.

Olybet has obtained an ANJ (formerly ARJEL) license number, but it did not obtain it on its own. The bookmaker arrived in France by taking advantage of the already existing license of France-Pari, a French betting site that is now closed, as we have learned from Lebonparisportif.com, a French site specialized on bookmakers, on their article “Olybet, le nouveau site de pari ouvre enfin ses portes en France” (article in French). This is already the strategy used by Olybet in Spain, so it’s not surprising. More and more bookmakers are using this technique to enter a heavily regulated market like France.

France’s sports betting sector has seen exponential growth over the past decade. The legalization of online sports betting in 2010, coupled with the nation’s deep-rooted sports culture, has transformed it into one of Europe’s most lucrative markets. In 2023, France recorded an impressive €8 billion in sports betting revenue, solidifying its position as a key player in the global sports betting arena.

Olybet’s launch is perfectly timed to tap into this growing enthusiasm, with the French football league (Ligue 1) in full swing, and international competitions like the Champions League starting. By entering the market now, Olybet is poised to capitalize on major sporting events that will drive a surge in betting activity.

Olybet enters a highly competitive but rapidly expanding market, with established players like Betclic, Unibet, and Winamax already dominating. A few days ago, FDJ acquiring Kindred, creating a European gaming champion. 

France’s sports betting market is projected to grow steadily over the coming years, thanks in part to the nation’s passion for football, rugby, and basketball. Olybet’s innovative platform and focus on both new and experienced bettors could give it an edge in capturing a share of this expanding audience.

As Olybet embarks on its journey in France, its launch marks a new chapter in the evolution of the sports betting landscape. Time will tell how it fares, but for now, French bettors have one more exciting option to explore.
