Inspired Launches a Trio of Progressive Jackpot Slots

Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (“Inspired” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: INSE), a leading B2B provider of gaming content, systems and solutions, is pleased to announce the launch of Cleo’s Jackpot Win & Spin™, Mermaid’s Jackpot Win & Spin™ and Fortune Bao Bao Win & Spin™ in New Jersey, USA. Each game features Inspired’s progressive jackpot mechanic, offering players an engaging iGaming experience with enhanced winning potential.
Packed with exciting ways to win, each title features two thrilling bonus games. The Free Spins Bonus features static jackpots, while the Win & Spin Bonus offers static jackpots and two progressive jackpots: Major and Grand. Designed to be won regularly, the Major and Grand Progressive Jackpots can be awarded from any bet. Featuring a variety of captivating themes, this exhilarating trio encompasses a unified 5×3 reel layout and a consistent jackpot design, to streamline and enhance the gameplay experience.
Cleo’s Jackpot Win & Spin™ is an exhilarating Egyptian-themed slot adventure that harnesses the mystique of the ancient pyramids. Rich with Wilds, pyramid Bonus scatters, and the golden Win & Spin scarab symbol, the game offers fun features designed to reward players with substantial potential wins.
Players trigger the Free Spins Bonus by landing three or more Free Spins Bonus symbols in the base game, transforming Win & Spin symbols into potent Wilds. The Win & Spin Bonus can be activated by landing six or more Win & Spin symbols in the base game or during the Free Spins Bonus. Players can enjoy continuous spins until there are no more left, or until they fill the grid with Win & Spin symbols, unlocking prizes and accumulating rewards. Players who fill all 15 positions in the Win & Spin Bonus can claim the illustrious Grand Progressive Jackpot.
Mermaid’s Jackpot Win & Spin™ invites players to dive into a slots fantasy and embark on an enchanting underwater adventure, where big wins await them beneath the game’s crystal-clear waters. Landing three or more Free Spins Bonus symbols in the base game triggers the game’s Free Spins Bonus, where the enigmatic mermaid transforms reels two, three, and four into a Mega Reel, supercharged with 3×3 versions of all reel symbols.
To enter the Win & Spin Bonus, players must land six or more Win & Spin symbols in the base game or the Mega Pearl in the Free Spins Bonus. The player continues spinning the reels until they have no spins remaining or the entire grid is filled with Win & Spin symbols. When the bonus ends, the value of all Win & Spin symbols is accumulated and awarded to the player. If all 15 positions are filled with Win & Spin symbols, the Grand Progressive Jackpot is awarded, in addition to the player’s total win.
Fortune Bao Bao Jackpot Win & Spin™ is an Asian-themed slot brimming with auspicious symbols, thrilling gameplay, and fun Wilds, offering players a wealth of good fortune. Players can trigger the Free Spins Bonus game by landing three or more Free Spins Bonus scatters in the base game. This feature includes high-paying symbols such as Bonus scatters and Wilds, which can multiply a player’s line wins.
Entering the Win & Spin Bonus requires a player to land six Win & Spin symbols in the base game or in the Free Spins Bonus, represented in-game by the luminous golden coins with varying cash or jackpot values. These symbols remain locked in their positions as the player continues spinning the reels until they have no spins left or the entire grid is filled with Win & Spin symbols. At the end of the Bonus, the value of all Win & Spin symbols is accumulated and awarded to the player. If all 15 positions are filled with Win & Spin symbols, the player’s total win plus the Grand Progressive Jackpot is awarded.
Claire Osborne, Vice President of Interactive at Inspired, said: “We’re thrilled to launch our trio of progressive jackpot games in New Jersey. Each title promises an exciting slots adventure that is packed with fun winning potential. We’re confident that the trio’s diverse themes will captivate a wide array of players and attract new audiences, throughout the market.”
