Evoplay releases explosive gameplay in Lava Burst
Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has launched Lava Burst, a high-volatility slot packed with exciting features to boost player engagement.
Played on a 4×3 grid, the game’s core mechanics are the Bonus Game and Ultra Bonus Game. Both begin with three spins, and each new symbol that lands reset the counter. The round continues until all 12 positions are filled or no spins remain.
The Ultra Bonus Game guarantees activation of the Lava Burst feature, where one to twelve fire comets strike random cells on the reels. Each strike applies an x2 multiplier, which increases if the same position is hit more than once.
Supporting features include Mystic Symbols, which transform into another icon at the end of the Bonus or Ultra Bonus Game, and the Mystic Jackpot Symbol, which guarantees a Mini (25x), Minor (50x), or Major (100x) jackpot. The Grand jackpot (x1000) is awarded by collecting all 12 bonus symbols of any type.
The Black Hole collects the value of all previously landed Bonus symbols and jackpots, increasing the overall win potential.
All Coin symbols carry bet multipliers – Bonus Coins appear with values from x1 to x4, while Heavy Coins land only in the base game with higher values of x5 to x9. Heavy Coins remain locked on the reels until the Bonus or Ultra Bonus Game begins, unless the bet is changed. The Bonus Game is triggered by landing four symbols on the central line, initiating a round with three spins. Each new Bonus symbol resets the spin count, and winnings are awarded only in the Bonus or Ultra Bonus Game, where all landed Bonus symbol values are totalled at the end.
Lava Burst combines high-impact visuals with layered bonus features, offering operators a strong addition to their slot portfolios.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Lava Burst offers something fresh, with mechanics that keep players invested throughout the session.
“From the escalating multipliers to the strategic bonus features, we’ve created a slot that’s built for performance and player appeal.”

ACR POKER LAUNCHES ‘MONEYMAKER MAY-HEM’, OFFERING PLAYERS A CHANCE TO JOIN CHRIS MONEYMAKER IN LAS VEGAS FOR $10K MAIN EVENT
As the Sunday Moneymaker tourney approaches its one-year anniversary this summer, ACR Poker is launching a month-long pre-celebration this May with the Moneymaker May-Hem. This promo gives players a chance to join the 2003 WSOP Main Event Champion and poker legend Chris Moneymaker for a once-in-a-lifetime VIP experience during the Main Event of Vegas’ hottest summer series.
Throughout the month of May, every player who plays a $109 buy-in Sunday Moneymaker on ACR Poker and reaches a final table in any of the weekly events will earn a spot in a Final Sit & Go Showdown on Sunday, June 1st at 4pm ET.
The Final Sit & Go winner will receive a VIP package complete with a $10,000 buy-in to the Vegas Main Event, $5,000 cash for travel and other expenses, and the chance to meet Chris Moneymaker in Las Vegas. Second and third place finishers will receive $109 Sunday Moneymaker Tickets.
“The Sunday Moneymaker has become something really special, and it’s been incredible to watch it grow since we launched it last year,” said Moneymaker. “This May promo is a huge thank you to our community and every player who’s been part of this ride. I’m looking forward to welcoming the winner in Vegas, talking strategy, and hopefully celebrating a deep run in the Main Event together.”
The Sunday Moneymaker, which launched in July 2024 to honor ACR Pro and poker icon Chris Moneymaker, has quickly grown into one of ACR Poker’s weekly signature events. Since its debut, the Sunday Moneymaker has already attracted over 78,000 entrants and awarded more than $13 million in total prize money. The tournament features a $300,000 guarantee every Sunday, with a $400,000 prize pool on the final Sunday of each month.
Moneymaker noted that players can also qualify for each Sunday Moneymaker through ACR Poker’s satellites in the hours before every tournament, with paths starting at freerolls ($0), Micro Hyper Sats ($1.05, $2.10), and Mega Satellites ($11, $22) offering guaranteed $109 seats.
For poker players looking to follow the action, the Final Sit & Go Showdown will be live-streamed on ACR’s Twitch channel on Sunday, June 1st.
