Games Global and Slingshot Studios introduce Feature Tabs mechanic in electrifying Gold Fusion™

Games Global and exclusive studio Slingshot Studios have released Gold Fusion™, a thrilling hunt for precious metals that showcases the brand-new Feature Tabs mechanic, with upgradeable jackpots, wild multipliers, and walking wilds.

Melding a Vegas gold theme and vibrant neon visuals with electrifying jackpot wins of up to 7,500x the bet, Gold Fusion™ features a 5×3 grid adorned with precious metals, gemstones, and cash wads, as well as wilds, lightning orb scatters, upgrade, and trigger symbols.

During the base game, five unique Feature Tabs are fixed above the reels: wild multipliers, extra wilds, walking wilds, and mini and minor jackpots. Upgradeable and triggerable throughout gameplay, these features provide players with a constant sense of evolution and escalation, enhancing the energy for an all-round exhilarating experience.

Every triangular upgrade symbol that hits boosts the feature above its reel, upgrading its prize. Wild multipliers can be increased up to 10x, 10 additional regular wilds can be awarded, and three walking wilds can be triggered, while every upgrade symbol on either the mini or minor reel increases the corresponding jackpot value by up to 0.5x the total bet. Landing the circular trigger icon will award the bonus above its reel, with four needed throughout the game session to pay out either of the jackpots.

Landing three orb scatters triggers 10 free spins, where a spin of the bonus wheel awards one of the five bonus rounds, with all the feature tabs dedicated to that single feature throughout the round. The wild free spins modifiers enhance win potential by multiplying and increasing the number of winning combinations, while jackpot free spins offer a route to the maximum 7,500x win.

The Upsizer™ modifier also allows players to upgrade their free spins feature to a more desirable option upon triggering for a calculated cost, putting the power in their hands.

The Slingshot Studios team comprises industry experts and talented creators, each with a passion for producing compelling products for Games Global customers. Its unwavering commitment to iteration and innovation has resulted in the cultivation of a diverse and entertaining game collection.

Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Gold Fusion™ has been a labour of love, but we are so excited to get it into the hands of players. We wanted a game that has a sense of constant energy and potential, and it has evolved through many iterations over multiple rounds of testing and refinement.

“The core design revolves around having multiple features available at any time in the base game, with each then also having a dedicated free spins feature.

“What makes it so engaging is a constant dance between upgrades and triggers. The way these two aspects play together generates a huge number of possibilities. This user experience is amplified by great audio and visual effects, making Gold Fusion™ the first of what we intend to be a highly entertaining series of games.”

Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “Slingshot Studios strives to deliver immersive games, and Gold Fusion™ is the most recent release highlighting its dedication to pushing boundaries in production quality.

“They have integrated several features that intensify gameplay and boost win potential, and we are sure the new launch will resonate with our operators’ players.”
