iSoftBet scores slot hit with Hot Shots 2
Supercharged sequel sees players shoot for epic wins with unlimited multipliers and unique Ultra Bet feature
iSoftBet, the leading online and mobile casino content provider, has launched Hot Shots 2, inviting players to lace up their boots and score huge wins in this supercharged sequel.
Always at the forefront of innovation, iSoftbet has included their new Ultra Bet* feature on this slot-based football extravaganza, allowing players to place a single wager to unlock 50 high-octane games, collecting wins, multiplier stars and bonus rounds along the way. Ultra Bet offers a unique way to play, prioritising the most exciting game features for a more engaging player experience.
Launched at the same time as live action football leagues resume, Hot Shots 2 takes the proven successful model from the original Hot Shots, with expanding Wilds, and takes it to another level with an unlimited increasing win multiplier during Free Spins for even more ways to strike it lucky.
Five quirky footballers are the high paying symbols, each one representing their own country. A German Shepherd, French cockerel, Spanish Bull, British Bulldog and Portuguese Fox all battle it out for possession of the reels, ready to fire up players’ fortunes in this feature-filled slot.
Players can win big in a host of ways, including from win multipliers, expanding Wilds, Free Spins bonuses and the special Wild Golden Ball. Hit the back of the net with this symbol during Free Spins and the ball expands both vertically and horizontally as well as increasing the win multiplier.
Three or more Hot Shots symbols will see you qualify for the Free Spins round, where the unlimited win multiplier is in play and regular footballs on reels 2, 3 or 4 will expand to form multiple wilds. And it’s not full-time yet, as Free Spins can also be retriggered via bonus symbols during the feature.
Mark Claxton, Head of Games at iSoftBet, said: “Hot Shots was so popular we decided to launch a sequel with a supercharged bonus for players to score even bigger wins. Launching our new Ultra Bet feature on this game made perfect sense as it embraces the exciting and frantic nature of the “beautiful game” while also offering players a whole new way to play slots.
“The launch of Hot Shots 2 is perfectly timed with the restart of many football leagues around the world, something so many people have been eager to see. We are delighted with the result of the game and confident it will prove to be the perfect strike partner for sport-starved slot fans.”

S8UL rebrands as S∞UL on Valentine’s Day to celebrate the infinite love of gaming

This Valentine’s Day, India’s leading esports and gaming organization, S8UL, is embracing the spirit of love with a special rebranding. In celebration of the special day, S8UL has transformed itself into S∞UL, a name that symbolizes S(oul), 8 (Infinity) and UL (You & Love), representing infinite love for gaming, community, and its fans.
Beyond competition, gaming is rooted in passion, friendship, and building strong community bonds. It has a unique ability to transcend geographical as well as cultural boundaries to strengthen connections and create lasting memories.
A report by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which included a survey of 13,000 players across 12 countries, found that 42% of gamers met a good friend, spouse, or significant other through video games.
With its infinity-inspired makeover, S8UL aims to cherish the deep connection between its creators, players, and supporters who make up the heart of the gaming ecosystem.
To make the occasion even more special, S8UL is launching the #S8ULMates campaign, inviting fans to share their most cherished moments with the organization. Whether it’s a selfie with an S8UL creator, an unforgettable event experience, or a memory that defines their journey with the gaming powerhouse, fans can participate by posting about their favourite S8UL moment and expressing what the organization means to them. The best entries not only have a chance to be featured on S8UL’s official social media channels but also to win exclusive S8UL merchandise or a video call with their favorite S8UL creator.
How to participate in the #S8ULMates campaign:
- Post a photo
- Write a sentence about what S8UL means to you
- Tag @S8ULEsports and use the hashtag #S8ULMates to enter
S8UL’s prominent creators, including Naman Mathur (Mortal), Kaashvi Hiranandani (KaashPlays), Raj Varma (Snax), Payal Dhare (PayalGaming), Gulrez Khan (JokerKiHaveli), Aman Jain (Soul Aman) and others, will also be actively engaging with fans as part of the campaign.
Recently, S8UL’s prominent creator Kaashvi Hiranandani (KaashPlays) unveiled her new IP, ‘Kaash We Match’, a blind dating show that blends romance, gaming, and humor. The 12-episode series, which began in December 2024, offers a fresh take on dating shows by featuring cooperative gaming challenges like It Takes Two and Chained Together, designed to test contestants’ chemistry.
As S8UL and its creators continue to push the boundaries of content creation and esports in India, this rebranding is a tribute to the fans who make it all possible because, in gaming and in life, some bonds last forever.
