Golden Rock Studios’ Roulette x2
Golden Rock Studios has released its latest table game, Roulette x2, which awards players with double pay-outs for free.
The feature works by giving players a dice roll after each winning round; if all four dice numbers match, the player’s win is multiplied x2.
This gives the fast-paced game improved odds of 70-1, compared with standard roulette games which have odds of 35-1.
“Golden Rock Studios Roulette X2 has been built with pure gamblers in mind,” said Golden Rock Studios CEO James Curwen. “It’s exceptional UI and UX means you can place chips faster and smoother than any other roulette on the market with the added benefit of our USP dice feature that can award the customer double payouts for free every winning spin.
“This game has been developed with over 30 years of industry experience in table games both in land based and online, with better odds for the customer for the first time ever and with stunning gameplay I don’t know why anyone would play anything else.”

Playtech has launched an exclusive Frankie Dettori-themed live blackjack table with GVC’s Ladbrokes Coral brand.
Based on the supplier’s popular Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven slot, Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven All Bets Blackjack includes numerous side bet options.
These includes Dealer Goes Bust, where players can score a wide range of potential wins from a 2:1 win for three or four cards to 2000:1 win for the ultimate combination of eight cards plus player blackjack, and Lucky Lucky, where the player’s first two cards and the dealer’s first form a combination.
Other side bet options include 21 + 3, where the player’s first cards and the dealer’s first form a hand; Top 3, where the player’s first two cards and the dealer’s first form a hand; and Perfect Pairs, where the player’s or dealer’s cards form a pair, with wins for mixed, colour and matching pairs.
“Sports-themed Live tables have proved highly popular with operators and players alike, which we’re further enhancing with the Sporting Legends series,” said Playtech live casino CEO Edo Haitin. “With the addition of the dedicated area to stream the races throughout the event and ability to place bets from this exclusive table, it offers major cross-sell opportunities to keep players engaged and entertained.”

The 5×4 reel slot features 20 paylines and an Award Board, which activates the All Star Knockout Bonus.
The Award Board has five boxes with spots for eight stars to collect as they randomly land on the reels. When a player starts a game session, 12 bonus stars are randomly awarded and populate the board. If one or more boxes are filled with stars, the bonus round is triggered.

Green Jade Games’ Cotton Eye Joe – Moonshine K.O
Green Jade Games has agreed a deal to develop a new slot game based on Cotton Eye Joe, the hit song from Swedish group Rednex which became a massive hit in the 1990s.
Developed in partnership with Edenberg Design and Rednex, the slot is the first from the new Knockout Series of games from Green Jade Games.
These are slot games which allow the customer to change spin results to align loot chests and trigger bonus features. The game is under development with Green Jade’s San Francisco-based partner studio and is scheduled to be launched this summer.
“We see Green Jade as an upcoming, fresh inventive gaming company that really understands the Rednex brand,” said Edenberg Design CEO Peter Edenberg. “Of course, we are thrilled to have closed this agreement and are looking forward to seeing the end result in the big casino operators line-up.”
Green Jade Games creative director Jesper Kärrbrink added: “We’re delighted to have struck a deal with Rednex Ltd and Edenberg Design AB. Our team is fired up and we are looking forward to making Cotton Eye Joe – Moonshine K.O a blockbuster hit.”

Five Fruits is a five reel, 10 line slot that pays both ways on the reels, with wins running both from left to right or right to left. It marks the first time the feature has been introduced on FunFair’s platform.
If players land five “7” symbols on the reels, this triggers free games, where all the “7” symbols turn wild and substitute for any other symbol.

Big Wave Gaming managing director Ivan Rungkat said “This second FunFair game release further exposes our content to a brand new younger, crypto savvy audience.
