ESA Gaming has officially entered the popular Hold & Win segment with the launch of its first title, Ankh of Fortune, marking the beginning of an ambitious series of five slot releases planned for this summer.
Known for its innovative EasySwipe™ portfolio, ESA Gaming is now expanding its slot catalogue, blending traditional gameplay mechanics with modern, mobile-first design.
Ankh of Fortune is a fast-paced, Egyptian-themed 5x3 slot boasting 20 paylines, where players can expect stacked wilds that significantly boost base game winnings. The core highlight of this title is the Hold & Win bonus feature, which is triggered by landing six or more money or jackpot symbols. During this round, players stand a chance to claim prizes that can reach up to 500x their bet.
Complementing the Hold & Win feature is an engaging Free Spins round, unlocked by hitting three scatter symbols. In this mode, all wild symbols become even more powerful, doubling the payout of any winning combination they form part of, adding an extra layer of excitement and winning potential.
Expanding the Hold & Win Collection
Ankh of Fortune is just the beginning. ESA Gaming has revealed plans to roll out four additional Hold & Win titles in the coming months: Octopus Riches, Dazzling Reels, Chip Rush, and Clover Rush. Each game promises vibrant themes and features centred around the golden coin Hold & Win mechanic, ensuring a diverse and engaging portfolio for operators and players alike.
These upcoming slots will maintain ESA Gaming’s signature mobile-first approach, designed for seamless integration across sportsbooks and gaming platforms. All titles will be available for desktop and mobile play, and are fully compatible with ESA’s proprietary EasySwipe™ sportsbook widget, enabling operators to deliver casino content without disrupting the sports betting experience.
A New Era of Game Development
Thomas Smallwood, Chief Commercial Officer at ESA Gaming, emphasized the significance of this new product line, “This new release signals our continued support to our customers in bringing them a wider catalogue of high-performing slots. Ankh of Fortune is also the first of a roadmap of upcoming releases to use our new game-creation technology, which puts our studio at the forefront of rapid and bespoke game development.”
ESA Gaming’s entry into the Hold & Win space reflects the company’s ongoing strategy to diversify its content offering, ensuring operators have access to innovative games that meet evolving player preferences while driving engagement and retention.
