NetEnt has launched its sweetest video slot this season, where Gumdrops and fluffy Cupcakes come together in a symphony of mouth-watering features boosted by Scatter Pays and signature Avalanche™ mechanics.

When at least eight Gumdrops of the same color pop onto the reels, the Scatter Pays kick in for potentially delightful payouts. As giant Cupcakes fall to the bottom of the reels, they will collect Gumdrops of the same color. When at least ten Gumdrops fill the frosting atop the Cupcakes, they turn into Multipliers to enhance the original wager. Multipliers reset on each spin in the Main Game, as opposed to Free Spins when they only reset at the end of the Bonus Round.

During the spectacular Crush feature, giant Cupcakes may randomly rain down the reels to the bottom, crushing symbols in the way. Coming to rest at the base of the reels after the Crush, Cupcakes will start collecting Gumdrops atop their whipped cream to enhance Multipliers, once again. Free Spins Scatters may also hit the reels during the Bonus Round for retriggers.

Gionata La Torre, Chief Executive Office Europe at Evolution said: “Gumdrop symbols stockpiling on giant Cupcakes for Multipliers is an engaging concept created by the teams to bring additional excitement into this delicious-looking game. This novelty comes in addition to the well-known Avalnche™ mechanic, when the symbols disappear on payout and the empty places are filled with new characters. Cupcakes will surely be a mesmerizing title for all the cake enthusiasts and gum candy aficionados.”

NetEnt has launched a new, fun-filled game introducing the cutest cat ever: Cornelius™. This brand-new video slot teleports players to a delicious, feature-packed experience right in the heart of Cornelius™’s kitchen, where the reels may rain cats and tasty treats (and instant cash prizes).

Cornelius™ enchants players with the Cash Drop feature, which is activated by at least 3 Cash Drop Scatter symbols. In the Cash Drop round of three Respins, Scatters with values of 0.25 to 3 times the bet may land on the reels, filling Cornelius™’s kitty bowl with tasty treats. On every spin, the Cash Drop Scatter symbols move one row down, awarding instant cash wins as long as they remain on the reels. If a new Scatter lands on the reels, the respins counter resets to 3.

If 3 or more Free Spins Scatter symbols land on the reels, the player is taken to the Bonus Round, where Cash Drop Scatters may be boosted by some other symbols: Up, which prevents Cash Drop Scatters from moving a row down after each spin; Golden Up, which moves Cash Drop Scatters to the top row; Adder, which adds to value of the Cash Drop Scatters; and Multiplier, which enhances the value of Cash Drop Scatters.

Sometimes Cornelius™ gets too eager to get his sticky paws on the treats to fill his bowl up to, and beyond, the brim. Therefore, the Buy Feature takes the player to the Free Spins Bonus round instantly—no need to wait for the Scatters to line up on the reels.

James Jones, Head of Business Development at Evolution, said: “Cornelius™ is a charming game featuring a kitty who worships food—we have all met at least one cat like that. Our teams have worked hard to create a casual game with a unique set of features in a fun atmosphere with attractive instant cash prizes for slots players. It is high time we let the feline out the bag!”

Gonzo is making another appearance this year, as NetEnt releases a brand-new title featuring the well-loved character.

The magic of Gonzo has returned in the brand-new adventure released today, Gonzo’s Gold. Set inside an Incan temple, this 5-reel, 5-row slot features the popular cluster pays mechanic and offers a highly volatile gaming experience.

Three or more Scatter symbols – represented by a golden pyramid – award 10 Free Spins and a bonus win. At the start of the Free Spins, a pick-and-click game transforms one symbol into the main feature of this game – the Expanding symbol. Land two or more Expanding symbols and they will expand to cover the entire reel or row, awarding the player with an additional win!

The Gonzo brand has been popular with players since the original Gonzo’s Quest, released back in 2011. Recently the franchise saw further success with Red Tiger’s release of Gonzo’s Quest Megaways and Evolution’s Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt.

Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer, Evolution said: “We’ve put a bit of a twist on what players can usually expect from a Gonzo game, replacing the bet lines and transforming it into a cluster pays slot with a Free Spins expanding symbol feature. We’re always looking to challenge what people expect from a gambling experience, and this is an exciting new take on Gonzo. Both new players and those familiar with Gonzo are going to thoroughly enjoy this next stage in the journey.”
