In recent times, software developers have been stepping away from Flash, instead choosing to make their games available in HTML5.nnNot all developers do this, but most will at least offer HTML5 with their new games. Many have said that this marks the end of the era of Flash, and this is clearly a school of thought that NetEnt buys into, as they are in the process of converting their entire back catalogue into HTML5.

Yggdrasil have been the Cinderella story of the last few years, rising from a point of relative obscurity to become one of the biggest new names on the iGaming scene, and they have done so through a combination of hard work and innovation.

With the festive period in very full swing, one lucky player has just scoped up a life-changing sum of money just before Christmas, after Mega Fortune Dreams paid out yet another jackpot, one amounting to €3,351,213 (just shy of £3 million).

The new Murder on the Orient Express movie is making tongues wag at the moment, but in the slot world, it is a less murderous representation of the famous train that is catching people’s attention, as Yggdrasil have recently released the Orient Express slot.

Microgaming have had an emotional rollercoaster of a year, much of which was tied up with the troubles that surrounded their Phantom of the Opera slot, which has since been released to great critical acclaim.
