Nolimit City Releases Outsourced 2: Balkan Engineering

Nolimit City launched Outsourced 2: Balkan Engineering on 18 August, shifting the original’s sweatshop setting to a chaotic Balkan construction site filled with duct tape, hammers and questionable permits. The 4×4 (expanding) grid starts with 625 ways and incorporates Infectious Ways® symbols that expand matching symbols to sizes 2–4. Bonus rounds include Tilt Spins, Tiltier Spins and Filthiest Spins, which retain base-game multipliers and can award extra spins via elevator symbols. Boosters, God Mode Chase and x Tra® Spin provide alternative entry paths. The title carries a 96.04% RTP, high volatility and an 11,111x maximum win, with bonus-buy options available. Product Owner Lars Soderberg described it as applying “the ancient Balkan engineering principle: if it works, don’t touch it.” The release continues Nolimit City’s signature high-volatility, humour-driven style for European and other regulated markets.

Games Global and Alchemy Gaming Expand Bass Cash with 1000x Multipliers

Games Global and exclusive studio partner Alchemy Gaming released Bass Cash 1000 around 21 August, the latest entry in the popular fishing franchise. The title introduces a new maximum 1,000x multiplier that applies across base and bonus play. Returning features include Winston’s Wild Catch, the Bass Cash Bonus, Win Boosters, Bonus Recharge and UPSIZER. Cash Collect symbols on reels 1 and 5 gather visible cash values (doubled when both appear), while random multipliers on reel 1 can reach 1,000x. Free Spins progress through levels that unlock additional spins and rising multipliers up to 1,000x applied to cash symbols. A 1,000x Boost ante bet guarantees the top multiplier. Alchemy’s creative director Marcus Thorpe-Fairall noted the release builds on franchise strengths while adding differentiated win potential. The game targets operators and players familiar with the series across European and international platforms.

Play’n GO Delivers Cursed Moon Power Collection with Persistent Progression

Play’n GO released Cursed Moon Power Collection on 20 August, a gothic-horror title centred on vampire hunter Dante.

A persistent multiplier and level-up system upgrade Free Spins over time; Level Lock allows progress to carry across sessions. RTP ranges from 84.2%–96.2%, volatility is medium-high, and maximum win reaches 15,000x. Games Ambassador Magnus Wallentin highlighted the strong narrative-mechanic link, with Dante growing stronger through hunting. The release underscores Play’n GO’s continued focus on character-driven, progression-based slots for European and global regulated markets.
