Pragmatic Play unveils Tree of Riches
Pragmatic Play, software provider for video slots, live casino and bingo, has unveiled its latest slots title, Tree of Riches.
The 1×3 slot has a Far-Eastern theme, with bags of money acting as symbols. The riches-filled tree allows for big wins, as players can multiply their winnings by up to 10x.
The tree of riches symbol takes the place of a Wild, and if two or more of these hit the reels at the same time, the “Respin” mode is triggered, activating a ‘Spin Until You Win’ feature.
Pragmatic Play’s Yossi Barzely said: “Tree of Riches is a simplistic slot game with all the attention to detail and features that make a Pragmatic Play game so great.”
NetEnt revives Victorious slots franchise

Victorious MAX is a 5-reel slot with 243 bet ways offering slots fans more routes to possible wins. It joins other games like Dead or Alive 2 being boosted with higher volatility as part of NetEnt MAX.
NetEnt director of games Bryon Upton said: “Taking a 2012 classic like Victorious and adding the game to our high-volatility MAX portfolio means this slot is set to gain a new army of fans.”
