Luck It Up! is the newest addition to the immensely popular Cash Bank series, featuring an Irish theme this time. The game features a Free Spins Bonus that activates when four or more four-leaf clover cash symbols appear in the base game, granting eight free spins. A pseudo-persistence element gathers cash symbols while playing the base game to increase the Cash Bank and randomly activate the Wheel Bonus Game, allowing players to spin for more free spins, access the Cash Bank Bonus, or one of four Prize Pots: Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand. Extra options such as Bonus Buy, Fortune Spins, and Gamble provide players with more opportunities to boost their winnings or quickly access the Free Spins Bonus round. Luck It Up! becomes part of Inspired’s growing collection of enjoyable medium-volatility, Irish-themed games, aimed at providing seasonal thrills and all-year amusement.

Centurion Winner Grand Chance expands on the achievements of the award-winning Golden Winner Grand Chance, now featuring Inspired’s iconic Centurion character. In the core game, Bonus symbols accumulate in a golden coin pot, leading to the activation of the Free Spins Bonus, where players choose their number of spins and initial position on a progression trail. Upon arriving at the trail’s end, a formidable x10 multiplier is triggered on all Centurion collectors, resulting in significant win possibilities and thrilling celebratory gaming experiences. The Grand Chance coin enhances the experience by offering one of four prize pots, introducing jackpot-style excitement to a well-established mechanic that combines known gameplay with a cherished theme.

Claire Osborne, Managing Director of Interactive at Inspired Entertainment, said: “These launches highlight our focus on delivering content that blends proven mechanics with strong themes players can instantly connect with. Luck It Up! re-enforces our strength as the home of the seasonal game, joining a growing portfolio of fun Cash Bank titles that resonate greatly with players globally. Centurion Winner Grand Chance features one of our most beloved characters, the mighty Centurion, and pairs him with the hugely popular Grand Chance mechanic, a combination that’s a recipe for success! Together, these titles showcase how we continue to evolve familiar gameplay in ways that keep players engaged and excited.”

Ahead of HIPTHER Prague Summit 2026, we speak with Kateryna Rybka, Affiliate Team Lead representing WinSpirit Casino, one of the fastest-growing brands in the global iGaming ecosystem. WinSpirit is a General Sponsor of the HIPTHER Prague Summit 2026, boasting a portfolio now exceeding 17,000 games. Kateryna shares insights into WinSpirit’s product vision, marketing approach, and the role responsible gaming plays in building sustainable growth.

Kateryna, WinSpirit positions itself as a fast-growing brand built on player-centric technology. From your perspective, what are the key pillars currently driving the brand’s momentum in today’s competitive iGaming landscape?

The core difference is that WinSpirit doesn’t treat players as traffic — we treat them as people. Most operators optimize around bonuses and acquisition. We optimize around behavior. What keeps a user engaged beyond the first deposit? What makes them return because the experience is compelling, not just because there’s a promo? That’s our focus.

Speed is critical. Hypothesis-driven experimentation happens weekly, not quarterly. Product, marketing, and affiliates work in tight loops, and if something isn’t working, we adjust fast. We prioritize LTV over volume — affiliate partnerships are strategic, not transactional. We work with partners who value engaged players, not one-time depositors.

Responsibility is non-negotiable. Responsible gaming isn’t compliance for us — it’s a product principle. Session reminders, deposit limits, reality checks are core features, because if our audience burns out or loses trust, no bonus will bring them back. That balance — innovation with measured execution — is what drives our momentum. We’re building something sustainable.

With a portfolio of more than 17,000 games, content depth is clearly a major strength. How does WinSpirit ensure that scale translates into meaningful player engagement rather than just catalogue size?

Scale without curation is just noise. We don’t treat our portfolio as a static catalogue — we treat it as a personalized experience. Our UX adapts based on player behavior through intelligent filtering and recommendations. If someone gravitates toward high-volatility slots or live tables, the experience reflects that. We use data to understand which games retain players beyond the first session and optimize accordingly.

Provider partnerships give us an edge here. We work with top studios to secure exclusive conditions, early access, and unique variants — so our users get something they can’t find everywhere else. Genre diversity also supports retention. Players evolve, and a deep portfolio lets us keep them engaged as preferences shift from slots to live casino to crash games, without them looking elsewhere.

Scale is only valuable if it serves engagement. We’re building an experience that evolves with our players, not just a library.

WinSpirit emphasises experience-driven growth over short-term promotional tactics. How is this philosophy reflected in your marketing campaigns and affiliate strategy today?

Our campaigns are built around ideas and narratives, not just bonuses. We try to go where the industry doesn’t — creating experiences that feel emotionally engaging, not transactional.

For example, WishExpress was a feature where players could send virtual gifts to each other during the holidays. It wasn’t about driving deposits — it was about creating connections. UnValentine’s Day flipped the traditional romantic narrative and resonated with users who don’t buy into the Valentine’s hype. Both saw strong engagement because they tapped into something real.

WinSpirit works with emotion, not just CPA. Our affiliate strategy reflects that — we look for partners who understand storytelling and retention, not just volume. And we pay close attention to player feedback. Long-term reputation matters more than short-term spikes.

Responsible gaming is becoming a defining factor for sustainable operators. How is WinSpirit embedding responsible gaming principles into both the product experience and its broader marketing approach?

Responsible gaming isn’t a separate feature for us — it’s embedded in the product. Session reminders, deposit limits, self-regulation tools, transparent bonus terms — these are core, not optional. Beyond that, we’re actively collaborating on education. SmartPlay, our partnership with Casino Guru, focuses on helping our audience make informed decisions through educational content and tools. The response has been strong — players engage more when they feel empowered, not just marketed to.

We’re also working with the Digital Wellness Center, which specializes in behavioral health and digital well-being. This partnership is rolling out now, and it’s about providing users with resources that go beyond gaming — addressing habits, balance, and long-term health. It’s about balancing engagement with ethics. Growth that compromises player well-being isn’t sustainable.

As WinSpirit strengthens its long-term market positioning, what key developments – whether product, partnerships, or player experience – should the industry be watching from the brand in the months ahead?

We’re doubling down on brand positioning and experience innovation. There’s a new creative campaign launching very soon — I can’t spoil it, but it follows the same philosophy as WishExpress and UnValentine’s Day. Players should expect something unexpected.

On the product side, we’re deepening gamification and personalization. The goal is to adapt the experience to each user — not just through recommendations, but through mechanics and features that respond to individual behavior. We’re also optimizing retention tools and expanding our responsible gaming framework, including the Digital Wellness Center partnership I mentioned earlier.

Sustainable growth remains the priority. We’re not chasing shortcuts — we’re building infrastructure that scales responsibly. And innovation is ongoing. Recently, WinSpirit received Special Recognition as Most Innovative Online Casino Operator for AI-driven customer support, automated query handling, and behavioral analytics that improve service quality. For us, that’s just the beginning. We’re applying similar thinking across WinSpirit — smarter systems, better player experiences, stronger foundations. The industry should watch for a brand that’s moving with intention, not just speed.

And it’s worth noting — platforms like EEG Intelligence Hub play a role in that evolution. Congratulations on 11 years of holding this industry to a higher standard. That kind of journalism matters.

The listing introduces GCOIN to the open market, unlocking broader access to the Playnance ecosystem and opening the door to a potentially enormous global user base. The launch follows strong early momentum, including high participation in MEXC’s Kickstarter campaign, where users competed for a share of a 50,000 USDT airdrop. 

‏Ahead of the Token Generation Event, the GCOIN community demonstrated strong demand, with over 1 billion GCOIN locked in staking within hours of the staking program going live.

As the Exosystem’s native token, GCOIN powers transactions, rewards, and participation across a rapidly growing Web3 entertainment network. Beyond adoption metrics, GCOIN is designed to bridge Web2 and Web3 by offering seamless, Web2-like on-chain experiences that lower the barrier to entry for mainstream users. This approach is already enabling Playnance to onboard large volumes of new users, converting them into active participants within the ecosystem. The ecosystem already includes over 300,000 GCOIN holders, reflecting strong early adoption and continued expansion at scale.

The exchange debut represents a major step forward in accessibility, allowing global users to engage with the ecosystem through a liquid and scalable market environment. Deposits for GCOIN are already open on MEXC, with withdrawals scheduled to begin on March 19, providing users with full flexibility to trade and manage their holdings.

“Today marks a defining moment for Playnance,” said Pini Peter, CEO of Playnance. “We identified early the opportunity to bring real scale into Web3 entertainment, and we’re building one of the leading ecosystems to support it. With GCOIN now live, we’re opening the door to what comes next – a new wave of users, new models, and a much larger shift in how entertainment moves on-chain. This is just the beginning.”

Playnance has built its token model around ecosystem-driven rewards, linking value distribution directly to platform activity rather than relying on fixed emissions. The platform already supports more than 10,000 on-chain games and processes over 2 million on-chain transactions daily, reflecting strong user engagement and growing adoption across its network.

With GCOIN now live, Playnance is entering a new phase focused on accelerating growth, expanding its global reach, and driving deeper participation across its Web3 entertainment ecosystem.

About Playnance

Founded in 2020, Playnance is a Web3 infrastructure company developing live, non-custodial, on-chain products designed to onboard mainstream Web2 users into blockchain environments. The company develops consumer-facing platforms built on shared wallet systems and high-volume on-chain execution, currently processing approximately 2 million transactions per day. Playnance focuses on reducing friction between user experience and blockchain infrastructure by abstracting complexity while maintaining full on-chain transparency and non-custodial architecture.

The collaboration signifies an important achievement for both firms as Finland advances toward a competitive licensing regime. SpinCore Group is one of the initial clients of Finnplay to officially submit its license application, placing the company among the pioneers getting ready for the regulated market launch.

Jaakko Soininen, Managing Director at Finnplay, said: “Finland’s regulated market represents one of the most anticipated developments in the European iGaming space.

Set on an expanded 3×5 grid, classic symbols such as fruits, bells, bars, and blazing red sevens acting as Wilds are joined by the coveted Thunder Coins and MULTICOINS. Both Collect types appear exclusively on reel two, triggering their respective features and collecting all Coin values, including jackpots. The Thunder feature adds all Coins to the current spin, while MULTICOIN gathers the value of all Coins in play and applies a multiplier of up to 20x to the total.

Shimmering Coins landing on reels one and three, along with a Thunder Coin or MULTICOIN, can unlock the Bonus Game, where only Coins, Thunder Coins, and MULTICOINS appear. The feature starts with three respins, with each new symbol resetting the count to three. When the respins conclude, all Thunder Coin and MULTICOIN values are summed into the Total Win.

Additional excitement comes from the Main Game, where landing Coin symbols without a Thunder Coin or MULTICOIN may randomly add a MULTICOIN to reel two, triggering the MULTICOIN Feature or creating another route to the Bonus Game. The Pile of Gold feature further enhances the chance to enter the Bonus Game by adding extra Coins, Thunder Coins, or MULTICOINS to the reels when randomly activated.

Thunder Coins XXL MULTICOIN also introduces Extra Bet Features, including a Double Chance option that boosts the odds of triggering the Bonus Game or a THUNDERCOIN Spin, guarantees a Thunder Coin or MULTICOIN, and triples the chance to enter the Bonus Game.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said:
“With Thunder Coins XXL MULTICOIN, we wanted to take the energy and familiarity of the Thunder Coins series and push it to the next level. The addition of dual Collect features, dynamic MULTICOIN multipliers, and four jackpot opportunities creates a more explosive gameplay experience while staying true to the mechanics players know and love.”
