Habanero braces players for an exhilarating adventure in Vampire’s Fate
Premium slots and table games provider Habanero has released Vampire’s Fate, a terrifyingly-thrilling slot, where transforming Wilds can be unleashed to unlock big wins.
Players are transported to Transylvania in this 5×3 slot, while transforming Wild symbols expand vertically and replace surrounding positions on the reels.
Keeping in the eerie backdrop, wolf Scatter symbols trigger the bonus game where players are invited to pick a multiplier value of 2x, 4x or 8x for all Wilds that land during this round, offering 14, ten and six Free Games respectively.
A further eight Free Games can be awarded if Scatters land during the Free Games mode, boosting win potential and the opportunity to defeat the vampires within their realm.
With its latest release focusing on a haunting voyage into the unknown, the new title showcases Habanero’s versatility to deliver high-quality games across a variety of themes following the previous launch of Hot Hot Summer.
Commenting on the release, Toni Karapetrov, Head of Corporate Communications at Habanero, said: “Vampire’s Fate is a welcome addition to our portfolio, as this title transports players to the home of vampires – Transylvania – as they seek to defeat the demons and collect those big prizes.
“The Free Games feature with Expanding Wilds is the key to success on this slot, keeping the vampires at bay and banishing them from their realm once and for all.”

Sky Vegas to sponsor new ITV reality show
Sky Vegas has been announced as the headline sponsor of The Fortune Hotel, a brand new ITV1 reality entertainment show hosted by comic actor, Stephen Mangan, and produced by Tuesday’s Child.
The new series, set in a five-star resort in the Caribbean, is a gripping new format which sees contestants work in pairs to compete against other hotel guests and get their hands on a briefcase containing a life changing amount of money.
10 pairs of contestants will arrive at The Fortune Hotel, where they will be given an all-important briefcase. Inside one case is the ultimate jackpot of £250,000 in cash, while eight are empty, and one contains the dreaded Early Checkout Card – whichever pair is left holding that case at the end of each show will see their stay brought to a dramatic, premature end.
Guests will attempt to figure out who is in possession of the cash case, whilst trying to keep the contents of their own a secret, and viewers will be treated to a blend of suspense, subterfuge and glamour as the duos compete over eight episodes.
Airing on Monday 13 May on ITV1 and ITVX (and STV in Scotland), Sky Vegas’ sponsorship includes 80” of accreditations per episode, spanning Monday-Thursday over a two-week period.
The sponsorship deal also includes 10” bumpers around free programme streaming content on the ITVX and STV Player, including website and mobile apps*.
Sky Vegas also has rights to include The Fortune Hotel logo and reference to the sponsorship across their own platforms, including website and social media.
Commenting on the sponsorship, a Sky Vegas spokesperson said: “The Fortune Hotel has the potential to be the next big TV hit, and we are incredibly excited that we are going to be a part of this new show with ITV.
“Our customers enjoy fun and entertaining games, so this sponsorship opportunity just made sense. We’re looking forward to watching the show and enjoying all of its twists and turns with the rest of the nation.”
Bhav Chandrani, Director of BE Studios, added: “It’s brilliant to be bringing a brand new format to screens and The Fortune Hotel is real shout-at-the-telly fun. It’s going to be full of twists and turns as we get to watch the gameplay unfold.”
