Relax Gaming has unveiled a new online slot title created alongside CasinoGrounds, continuing a partnership that has already produced several releases in recent years. The latest entry, Beast Gains, brings players into a jungle-themed setting filled with animal characters, layered mechanics, and multiple bonus options designed to keep gameplay moving across both the base game and bonus rounds.
The game marks the sixth collaboration between the two companies after earlier projects, including Book of Power, Iron Bank, Beast Mode, Net Gain, and Iron Bank 2. With Beast Gains, the partners return to a style that blends humorous animal imagery with feature-driven gameplay and high-volatility potential.
According to the B2B iGaming supplier, the title was built to offer continuous activity on the reels through a combination of cascading mechanics, unlockable modifiers, and selectable bonus features. The slot operates on a 6×4 layout with 4,096 ways to win and a maximum payout potential reaching 25,000 times the player’s stake.
Tony O’Mahony, Chief Product Officer at Relax Gaming, highlighted the scale of the release and its connection to previous titles from the partnership. “Beast Gains will undoubtedly be our game of the quarter at Relax. It has the look and feel of previous releases we’ve done with CasinoGrounds, but on a much bigger scale. Players who loved Beast Mode and Net Gains will particularly love to see what Beast Gains has to offer. This release captures everything players love about feature-driven gameplay, constantly advancing the action and keeping the base game as engaging as the bonus. Partnering with CasinoGrounds once again demonstrates our strong relationship and successful creative collaborations. We have developed a high-volatility slot with all the ingredients to make it another impressive addition to our expanding portfolio.”
Jungle Cruise Theme and Core Gameplay
Beast Gains places players on a jungle river journey populated by muscular animal characters and lush scenery. The background scrolls sideways during play, revealing tropical vegetation and details scattered throughout the landscape while a steamboat drifts along the river.
The main gameplay area uses six reels and four rows. Winning combinations form through adjacent symbols from the leftmost reel across 4,096 possible ways. When a winning combination appears, cascading mechanics remove those symbols from the grid and allow new ones to fall into place, creating opportunities for additional wins during the same spin.
Players can wager between 0.2 and 40 per spin, and the slot carries a default return-to-player value of 96.1%. The title is categorized as high volatility, meaning larger payouts can occur but appear less frequently.
Symbol design mixes traditional playing card ranks with animal-themed icons. Lower-value symbols consist of royals from Ten to Ace, while higher payouts come from masks representing creatures such as a shark, rhinoceros, crocodile, and lion. At the top of the paytable sits a lion bodybuilder symbol capable of awarding the highest standard payouts when six appear across the reels. Wild symbols substitute for regular paying icons on reels two through six.
Feature Trail and Bonus Mechanics
A central system called the Feature Trail drives much of the game’s activity. Positioned above the reels, it introduces different modifiers that activate when they reach the leftmost position during cascades. These features can appear during the base game or within bonus rounds.
The trail can trigger a wide variety of effects, including Mystery Symbols that reveal identical icons, additional wild symbols, explosive chests, collectors, coins, multiplier boosts, and level upgrades. Some modifiers only activate in certain bonus modes, adding variety to each session.
Free spins form the core bonus mechanic. Landing three to five scatter symbols anywhere on the reels activates the feature and awards an initial set of spins. Players then choose one of three distinct bonus modes.
The Mystery Symbols option focuses on stacked reveals and persistent mystery icons that remain on the grid between spins. The Multiplier Ladder mode gradually increases a multiplier that can climb as high as 1,000 times. The Coin Collection feature introduces coin values and collector symbols that gather them for payouts during the round.
A gamble feature allows players to attempt upgrades to their chosen mode up to two times, increasing potential rewards if successful. Additional mechanics such as Hot Mode, Enhanced Bet, and Bonus Reels offer alternative ways to alter gameplay. The slot also includes a feature buy option that grants direct access to free spins for 85 times the stake.
Relax Gaming’s development team described the process as an opportunity to combine elements from earlier releases while creating a new setting and gameplay structure. The release continues the firm’s strategy of expanding its portfolio with feature-heavy online slot titles while maintaining ongoing collaborations with industry partners such as CasinoGrounds.
