Playson unveils new mechanic in Paddy Star: Smash and Win

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Playson, the accomplished digital entertainment supplier, welcomes players to join the party with Paddy Star: Smash and Win, where a charismatic leprechaun host and his Piggy Banks introduce the supplier’s innovative new mechanic.

The brand-new Smash and Win feature activates when the leprechaun Wild symbol combines with any Bonus or Jackpot icon. It unlocks their values and adds them to the winning spin in the Main Game or to the total win during Free Spins. This fresh mechanic is enhanced by three randomly triggered Special Features that can activate during a single spin.

Paddy Spin guarantees Wild and Bonus symbols, while Jackpot Nudge rewinds a random number of icons to reveal Jackpot symbols when the Wild lands on the central reel. Wild Nudge rewinds the centre cell of the third reel to land on the Wild symbol, with each feature capable of transforming an ordinary spin into something magnificent.

The title’s animated Piggy Banks, positioned above the reels, receive coins from the Wild symbol during both the Main Game and Free Spins. Each has the power to trigger six Free Spins, offering the opportunity to land a total of 12 if both activate at the same time. Free Spins can then retrigger, extending the party-level energy.

Four in-game Jackpots, from a 10x Mini Jackpot up to a 1,000x Grand Jackpot, add further excitement and are all paid during the Smash and Win feature only. With medium-high volatility and a max win of 2,129x, the title combines retention-proven mechanics with inventive new features.

This latest release demonstrates Playson’s talent for developing unique mechanics that enhance player engagement based on data-driven insights.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “Paddy Star: Smash and Win represents a fresh chapter in our commitment to innovation and delivering more to our partners. The mechanic was developed specifically for this title and brings something genuinely new to the reels.

“The combination of our Smash and Win feature, multiple themed Special Features and the dancing Piggy Bank characters creates an experience that is memorable and packed with winning potential.”
