Yggdrasil Gaming has released its newest slot game, Incinerator, its first of 2016. Incinerator is a creative, fast-paced slot game with exciting special features that can yield big winnings. Incinerator can be played at Yggdrasil-powered casinos such as Mr Green Casino, Vera and John Casino and Casino Estrella. About the Game The incinerator for which the game is named is not your ordinary garbage-disposal machine; this incinerator’s job is to scrap heaps of metal from the spaceships of the universe. When players achieve winning combinations on the reels, they are then allowed to incinerate the space trash, which earns them a range of coin amounts. Aside from the intriguing theme, Incinerator boasts another alluring aspect: falling symbols, also known as the avalanche feature. Falling symbols drop down from the “sky” and remove existing symbols from the game screen, allowing the chance for more winning combinations to be made. Likewise, when a player hits a winning combination, those symbols disappear and are replaced by new ones. The most unique feature of the game, however, is its Wild Patterns feature, which is shown on the right side of the screen at all times. When players get three subsequent spins, the wild symbols that appear on the reels will also appear on the right of the screen. This means that more and more wilds are available for play, allowing players to score more and more winning combinations. About Yggdrasil Gaming Yggdrasil Gaming is a provider of online and mobile casino games. Their portfolio includes a variety of popular slots, including Chibeasties, Jokerizer, Winterberries, Dark Joker Rizes, Vikings Go Wild, Joker Millions (a progressive jackpot), and Holmes and the Stolen Stones. Yggdrasil was awarded Software Rising Star at the EGR B2B Awards in 2015, and has been nominated for iGaming Software Supplier at the 2016 International Gaming Awards.
Deportivo started the season on a positive note and it was clear right from the start that they won’t be in the mix for avoiding relegation. Rayo Vallecano on the other hand failed to win back-to-back games and is still struggling in the dangerous area, just one point above the relegation line. They are in dire need of points, but they travel to La Coruna with several of their key players injured. Terrible Start in 2016 for Deportivo After extending their invincible run to 10 games scattered across two months, Deportivo sank into near irrelevance in 2016. They were unable to win a single match in January and plummeted from the sixth place all the way down to the ninth place. They still have a comfortable cushion keeping them away from the relegation area, but they need to stop bleeding points. Opportunity presents itself on Monday when Deportivo has home pitch advantage and just three players doubtful. The backline is intact and even though two strikers are unfit to play, Lucas Perez is in great form and that’s all that matters. The forward has scored 13 goals this season, more than all the other players combined and he will spearhead the offensive against Rayo Vallecano. Rayo Vallecano Claims Rare Home Victory Rayo Vallecano was hit hard this January after an equally disappointing month of December and was unable to win a game in 10 rounds. The team is famous for playing offensive football both at home and on the road, but the strategy backfired badly. Real Madrid scored 10 goals against them and even when they managed to take an early lead, their opponents clawed their way back in the game. Against La Coruna, they will need to do without six players who are all injured including the first and second goalkeepers. Under these circumstances, odds of 4/5 offered by bet365 Sports for a home win are quite tempting, as Deportivo won’t settle for yet another draw.
Leading software developer Playtech has announced that it reached a new licensing partnership for multiple years with Warner Bros. that will allow it to create more themed games. The agreement will focus mostly on the iconic characters from the DC Comic universe which have been adopted into films and television series by the entertainment company. A Whole New Series of Opportunities While Playtech already has a collection of slots based on Marvel superheroes from different blockbuster movies, the new deal with Warner Brothers Consumer Products will have a very big impact on its collection of games. The software developer will have the freedom to create new casino games themed after the popular Batman television series, which many fans are sure to enjoy. Here we can also mention potential new slot machines based on Man of Steel, Superman and Green Lantern since all of the films were produced by the studios at Warner Bros. According to the statement made by the Playtech chief executive, all of the premium new games will be launched on the ONE platform, which will make them accessible on any device and from just one account. The DC comics also include superheroes like Wonder Woman, The Flash and Aquaman, which either have their own TV series or films, or are now in the process of being created. This can mean more options for Playtech to turn them into slot machines in the future. Looking Forward to the Titles The new slots will be available for customers at top online casinos powered by Playtech, such as Omni Casino, Video Slots Casino and Dafabet Casino. Players are certainly eager to see what the developer can do with the new opportunities and this should also put the game provider in a better position with the help of regular new releases that will get a lot of attention.

When you think of the top names in the Premier League, Leicester was not always a team that would be anywhere near the top of the table. What they have been able to do this season is astonishing and they still reside in first place now on Matchday 24. Leicester are out in front by three points over Manchester City and Arsenal, but face a challenge tonight against the Reds, which could see them drop to third if they do not win. Claudio Ranieri cannot yet believe that he has led his squad this far in first place. To think that the end of the season is only 15 games away, Leicester are pulling off a David vs Goliath situation and are in striking distance of raising the league trophy over their heads at Stamford Bridge on the final day. “I am a positive man and a positive man takes everything step by step,” Ranieri related. “But you are moving too fast, like a Formula One car.” Liverpool have beaten Leicester twice this season and drawn with them once, and they are confident that tonight will be another victory. In fact Arsenal is the only other team to beat Leicester this season and it seems like the Reds do have Ranieri's number. Premier League Sports Betting Bet365 Sports is offering attractive wagering opportunities ahead of tonight's game and during all 90 minutes of action. Leicester are favorites by a slim margin of 2.62 to Liverpool's 2.87, but a draw could be the best bet at 3.50. There are hundreds of individual betting props available and the best way for punters to maximize profits is to mix and match a couple of pre-match bets with live in-play props that bet365 will be posting live throughout the game. It will be a match to remember so be sure to tune in and catch all the action.

Online casino software provider Habanero has just unveiled its latest creation and it is an amusing slot machine with a goofy design. Ruffled Up has rich visuals and creates a user experience that many players will certainly enjoy across multiple platforms. The colorful game will be available at casinos powered by Habanero; such as Winner Casino, 32Red Casino and Gala Casino. A unique design and great features Ruffled Up certainly doesn’t look like a regular slot machine. Instead of having reels with symbols on them, the action in the game actually takes place on three telegraph wires where 15 birds randomly land each round. Combinations of matching symbols can be obtained on 243 active lines so they just need to start from the leftmost reel. The brightly-colored birds have distinctive features to set them apart and the Stormbringer symbols with the little umbrellas will trigger the free spins mode when three or more appear. For these rounds, the theme changes from sunny to a dark storm where lightning can strike at any moment. Symbols randomly hit by the lightning will generate prizes instantly. There is also a stacked wild symbol represented by a big bird and a progressive jackpot which grows with every bet placed on the slot. More About Habanero The software developer plans on presenting the Ruffled Up slot during the ICE Totally Gaming expo and conference. The Habanero CEO stated that it is a very different game in the slots category and the fact that it is designed in HTML5 will make it fun to play on desktop computers, smartphones and tablets. With a collection of more than 60 online slots and new games always in the works, Habanero is determined to be one of the biggest casino providers on the market and its customers can enjoy the titles at leading online casinos from around the world.
Microgaming has just received its Guinness World Records certificate for setting the largest jackpot win from an online slot game back in October. The igaming software developer has now published pictures of the official certificates to honour the historic achievement. The official presentation came on the floor of ICE Totally Gaming 2016, which is an annual B2B event that brings together professionals and operators from the global igaming industry. Those in attendance at the Microgaming booth learned just how the world-record €17.8 million jackpot was won. Incredibly, Betway UK user Jon Heywood managed to win the colossal €17.8 million jackpot with a 25p spin. Jon was also present to receive his own certificate and to tell his story to those in attendance. Thus far, Jon has spent a portion of the winnings on a new car and holidays, while also looking after his family. 2015 Innovator of the Year Microgaming also hit the headlines at the International Gaming Awards (IGA) for winning the 2015 Innovator of the Year crown. In a highly competitive category, Microgaming was able to distinguish itself by developing a virtual reality (VR) roulette game. Virtual and augmented reality gaming have been pioneered by Microgaming. Before creating VR roulette, Microgaming’s previous effort in the genre included sports betting on Google Glass. Another key innovation came when Thunderstruck was released on smartwatches in 2014. However, the upsurge in VR usage indicates that this is the best area to focus on. Jurassic World Slot Deal Two years have passed since Microgaming announced it would release a groundbreaking video slot based on Steven Spielberg’s iconic Jurassic Park film. Well, Microgaming has just revealed a second exclusive deal to extend the franchise by launching a Jurassic World slot. This is yet another gigantic deal for a developer that has already made slots based on the Dark Knight and Game of Thrones. Obtaining the rights to 2015’s biggest summer blockbuster gives Microgaming a real edge on its closest competitors, which have struggled to match the scale of Microgaming’s deals. Dinosaur fans should watch out for Jurassic World at All Slots Casino, Jackpot City Casino, and Royal Vegas Casino later in 2016.
