Yggdrasil Gaming‘s third slot in the Jokerizer series, Wicked Circus, has integrated a new hold feature which will let players chase even bigger wins.

The new high variance slot sees a return of the iconic mystery wins and Jokerizer mode features, with the potential for a mystery win of up to 6000 coins.

“Yggdrasil’s two previous Jokerizer slots have enjoyed massive success over the past couple of years, so it was a no-brainer to launch a third in the series,” Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO at Yggdrasil Gaming, said.

“Like all our games, Wicked Circus includes unique gameplay mechanics and I’m sure players are going to love using the new hold feature to chase even bigger mystery wins,” he continued.

Online lottery betting operator Lottoland has launched Cash4Life, a concept new to the UK featuring a top prize of ?1,000 a day for life.

Cash4Life is differentiated from the lump sum jackpot pay-outs that are standard across most lotteries thanks to its unique offering of a ?1,000 cash top-up every day for the rest of the winner’s life.

In addition to the ?1,000 a day top prize, Cash4Life also features a second prize of ?1,000 a month for life. The Cash4Life draw takes place twice a week on Monday and Thursday nights.

“The best thing about Cash4Life is that the winning feeling lasts forever,” Lottoland CEO Nigel Birrell said. “Every day you’ll get up knowing you’re a thousand pounds richer than you were the day before.”

Foxwoods Casino launched a new version of its online social casino this week, powered by Greentube.

Novomatic-subsidiary Greentube replaces GAN as the platform provider, with Greentube’s president of market development, Gabriel Cianchetto, claiming his firm’s social casino focus was the differentiator.

“GAN came in with a real money gaming (RMG) platform but there isn’t a RMG market,” said Cianchetto. “Whereas we built our platform to be social from the ground up,” he added.

The relaunched product, available on desktop and in app format for iOS and Android, is designed primarily to be a marketing tool and drive customers back to the brick-and-mortar casino rather than generate revenue through selling virtual currency, a Greentube spokesperson told EGR.
