This week’s games round-up from Gaming Intelligence features a whole host of holiday-themed games and new titles from the likes of NetEnt, Playtech, Pragmatic Play, Greentube and Stakelogic, among others.
NetEnt’s Divine Fortune Megaways
NetEnt has released an enhanced version of one of its most popular games, Divine Fortune, which now features the Megaways mechanic.
Under licence from Big Time Gaming, it is NetEnt’s second game to be given the Megaways treatment after the recent launch of Twin Spin Megaways.
Divine Fortune Megaways features Falling Wilds Re-Spins, a Wild-on-Wild Expansion feature, and Free Spins with three collectable bonus symbols that can award an additional 500x bonus, as well offering 117,649 Megaways and a maximum win of 4502x.
“Divine Fortune is one of the most popular titles in NetEnt history and it’s great to reignite the game with the thrilling addition of Megaways,” said NetEnt chief commercial officer Andy Whitworth. “Twin Spin Megaways is our best release so far in 2020, but early data from Divine Fortune Megaways shows that it might not be for long.
“The combination of features makes this a title brimming with action and excitement. We’re sure the remake will be a big hit with players across the board.”
Playtech’s Age of the Gods: Ruler of the Dead

Playtech’s Vikings studio has released the latest instalment in the popular Age of the Gods suite of games with the launch of Ruler of the Dead.
Players must ferry across the river Styx to Hades’ underworld in the 25-line slot. Charon and the three-headed dog, Cerberus, appear as stacked Wilds, with the hell hound multiplying wins by up to 5x.
“There’s otherworldly win potential on offer when players head for Hades in the latest Age of the Gods game,” said Vikings head of game development Andreas Bexelius. “Ruler of the Dead combines the appeal of stacked wild and multiplier mechanics with the enduring popularity of this award-winning game suite – plus, of course, the chance to trigger the Age of the Gods progressive jackpot.
“With engaging features and a ready-made loyal audience, we’re confident Ruler of the Dead will appeal to regular and new players alike.”
Pragmatic Play’s Christmas Carol Megaways

Pragmatic Play is getting into the festive spirit with the launch of Christmas Carol Megaways.
The three Christmas Ghosts pay players a visit in the 200,704 ways to win slot, which features all the favourite characters from the classic Christmas tale.
It is the latest title in Pragmatic Play’s slot portfolio to offer the Megaways mechanic, following the release of Curse of the Werewolf Megaways.
“Christmas lights and Christmas trees are starting to go up in households all over the world and we can’t wait for one of the most magical times of the year, so we’re inviting you to join in with Christmas Carol Megaways,” said Pragmatic Play vice president Lena Yasir. “With a widely recognisable and a potentially lucrative Bonus Round, our Christmas hit will have players hoping the magic of the season never ends.”

Greentube is also getting into the holiday spirit with the launch of its latest slot release Santa’s Riches.
In the 5 reel, 20 win line game, an Arrow Trail expands the reels to 6 reels, while a Free Spins Bonus can also be found inside Santa’s sack of goodies, offering four different types of presents each containing a game-enhancing prize.
Stakelogic’s Gods of Secrecy
Stakelogic is taking players on an ancient Egyptian adventure in its latest slot release Gods of Secrecy.
Players are sent on a quest to find the Pyramids of Secrets where treasures, riches and big wins await. This includes a Free Spins bonus round that also includes Expanding Symbols. The feature is triggered when three or more Wild Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels, awarding 10 Free Spins.
“The entire team has done an incredible job with Gods of Secrecy, a visually striking and heavily animated slot that has an unrivalled production value compared to almost any other game on the market,” said Stakelogic CEO Stephan van den Oetelaar.
“This is combined with thrilling and entertaining gameplay, including the chance for players to win big through the Free Spins bonus, the three jackpots and of course our unique and innovative Super Stake feature. This makes Gods of Secrecy one of our best games yet.”
Paf’s Snowroller
The latest release from the Paf Games Studio is Snowroller, a new slot game developed in partnership with Swedish actor Lasse Åberg.
The game is based on the second film in the popular series Sällskapsresan, with the slot featuring characters and original images from the movie.
Part of the funds generated from the game will be donated by Lasse Åberg to the Baltic Sea Fund.
