Greentube Travels to the Pyramids

Top iGaming developer, Greentube recently announced the release of its new Egyptian-themed online slot, Cash Connection - Golden Book of Ra. The five-reel, ten-payline title is the latest addition to the popular Cash Connection slot series, with a classic feel and modern features.

The action gets going when you collect six coin symbols to activate the Lock and Spin feature which immediately allocates you three respins where even more coins appear and become locked to the reels.

The more coins, you get, the bigger your prize, and filling all the reel positions with these symbols will award you the Grand jackpot. Activate the free spins round and take advantage of an expanding symbol that fills the reels to boost your winning potential.

Greentube’s Head of Sales and Key Account Management, Markus Antl, said,

Book of Ra is arguably one of the world’s most iconic game titles and as you can imagine, we are absolutely thrilled to boost the game franchise with another outstanding addition to our portfolio. We hope players enjoy this game as much as our talented team enjoyed developing it.

Pragmatic Heads Back East with Floating Dragon Sequel

Pragmatic play has revived a popular title, with its new release, Floating Dragon Megaways Hold & Spin, an upgraded follow-up to its 2021 title, Floating Dragon Hold & Spin.

The new game adopts the same Asian theme as its predecessor while incorporating Big Time Gaming’s (BTG) Megaways mechanic and boasting a 6×6 grid with up to 236,196 paylines.

The familiar Koi fish, kites, butterflies, peacocks and ships return as symbols, but the wild has had an appearance upgrade, but still can’t substitute for the Dragon Scatter, Lady, or Coin Money symbols.

Three rows above the main reels spin independently only displaying wilds or blanks on the top row. Land at least three scatters to activate the free spins round where the Lady acts as a collect symbol that collects all the values of the special fish money symbols that can appear. Lady symbols also get collected anytime when they land and when four are accumulated, you get 10 extra free spins and a win multiplier is triggered.

The Hold and Spin round is triggered by landing three or more coins that award you three respins where coins and diamonds can appear, resetting your respin count to three, giving you even more winning chances.

Irina Cornides, the CEO at Chief Operating Officer for Pragmatic Play, commented on the new release, saying,

Augmenting one of our most popular titles of 2021 and adding Megaways, locking and unlocking reels and two bonus rounds has positioned Floating Dragon Megaways Hold & Spin to be as adored as highly as the original release.

Winners

Maxmillions Winner Heads for Sunny Skies

Christopher Ritter is ready to ditch his stormy rainy North Shore home in favour of sun-soaked Scottsdale after winning a million-dollar Maxmillions prize from the September 2, 2022, Lotto Max draw.

I was in a convenience store when I found out I won, I scanned my ticket, and it came up as $1 million and a free play. I thought, Holy crow,” Ritter said in a BCLC press release.

“I’m thrilled and glad that I’ve had such a remarkable thing happen,” he continued.

Ritter bought and validated his ticket at BJ & Sons Tobacconists in Vancouver.

The winner revealed that he plans on paying off his mortgage and moving with his wife to Scottsdale, Arizona, which is significantly more sunny than his current home.

Lottery Winner Obeys the Call of the Snooze

While winning lottery numbers would rouse and excite most people, Mississauga resident Shari Sahadeo couldn’t help but catch a few extra minutes of shuteye.

Sahadeo, who is a regular lottery player, revealed that she regularly plays Lotto Max, with numbers that correspond to significant moments in her life.

After having purchased a Lotto Max for the September 2 draw, she received a message with the winning numbers.

When I got the email with the winning numbers, they looked familiar, but I ended up going back to sleep,” Sahadeom shared, explaining, that she only checked her ticket some time after the draw.

I checked on the OLG App a few days later and saw ‘Big Winner’ appear. I was shocked,” she said.

Thanks to her lucky numbers, Sahadeo won $129 754 and an extra $2 for her Encore selection. She visited the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect her oversized cheque and revealed that the reality of her win has yet to set in for her.

Sahadeo plans to pay some bills and take care of some home renovations with the money, and also said that a vacation is also on the cards.
