Evoplay expands Ancient Egypt slots with „Flame of Ra“ and enters Austrian market

Evoplay, a well-known supplier of iGaming content, recently expanded its market offerings. In July 2026, a new slot machine called “Flame of Ra” was introduced, embracing the popular theme of ancient Egypt. This game supplements the company's existing portfolio in this segment. Alongside the new product, Evoplay also announced its entry into the Austrian iGaming market. This expansion was made in partnership with the gambling provider win2day.

Numbers and facts

“Flame of Ra” is an online slot built on a 5x4 grid. Wild symbols substitute for all regular symbols, increasing winning chances. A special feature of the game is its free spins function. This is activated when three or more scatter symbols appear on the reels. During the free spins rounds, additional scatter symbols can trigger more free spins. For players who do not wish to wait, there is also a bonus buy option, allowing up to 30 free spins to be acquired directly. This demonstrates Evoplay’s strategy to engage players quickly.

Background

The theme of ancient Egypt enjoys great popularity in the world of online slots. Evoplay leverages this fascination to attract players with mystical scenarios and rewarding game mechanics. Ivan Kravchuk, CEO of Evoplay, emphasizes the importance of this theme:

“Ancient Egypt remains one of the most iconic themes in gaming, and with Flame of Ra we’ve created a title that captures its sense of mystery while delivering fast-paced, rewarding gameplay.” - Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay

He also highlighted the combination of colorful design, expanding free spins opportunities, and the bonus buy functionality. These elements are designed to offer players flexible ways to enjoy their adventure, whether they are seeking quick excitement or longer feature sessions. The recent market entry into Austria, through cooperation with win2day, is a strategic move for Evoplay. This shows the company's ambition to expand its reach in regulated markets. Such expansions are typical for iGaming providers aiming to grow their global business.

Why it matters for German players

For German players, the launch of “Flame of Ra” and Evoplay's expansion into Austria do not directly imply immediate changes. The German online gambling market has been subject to strict regulations since the State Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021). Games from providers like Evoplay can only be offered in Germany through online arcades that hold a license from the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL) and are listed on the GGL whitelist. Casinos with licenses from Malta (MGA) or Curacao are not permitted in Germany. The betting limit of one Euro per spin on slots and the monthly deposit limit of 1,000 Euros, monitored by the central player blocking system LUGAS, significantly shape the player experience. Bonus buy features are often restricted or unavailable in Germany, as they are considered potentially enticing and could counteract player protection goals. Players in Germany should therefore always ensure they are playing on a legal, GGL-licensed platform to benefit from all player protection measures.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

For online arcades with a GGL license, Evoplay's market entry initially presents a potential expansion of their game offerings. If Evoplay makes its games available to German licensees, titles like “Flame of Ra” could enrich the portfolios of German online casinos. However, these slots would have to fully comply with strict German regulations. This includes not only technical aspects but also adherence to betting and deposit limits and other player protection measures. Bonus buy features, such as those integrated into “Flame of Ra,” might need to be adjusted or disabled for the German market. The GGL places great importance on games being transparent and non-manipulative. Providers who meet these requirements can expand their presence in the regulated German market.
