Games Global has announced their new exclusive studio partner, Linko Studios™, along with their first release Linko 5™, which is designed to bring real innovation to classic slot games using the new Linko feature.
The new studio, Linko Studios™, is a studio that was created with the mission to make games that are cutting edge, impactful, and not only incredibly fun but also really easy to play.
With Linko 5™, the studio unveils the kingdom 2026 roadmap with a super simple new concept; if you get five coins in a row either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, it is a win and the winning amount is the sum of the values of the coins.
To the main mechanic is added a set of additional features such as wild modifiers, Free Spins, Mystery Boxes with bigger coins, and the Linko Wheel which is the main attraction of the game.
During the course of the game, there is a permanent wild positioned right in the middle of the grid which is always there to help form winning lines and can occasionally change into a Power Up Wild or Extra Spin Wild. Power Up Wilds will increase the value of the coins, whereas the Extra Spin Wild will respin the empty spots for more chances to win.
Diamond Wilds might randomly appear on the grid, connecting coin chains to create wins, lead to the Free Spins feature, and facilitate the activation of the Linko Wheel. The Linko Wheel, once it has been activated, will be spun to award one of the five prizes, such as Wild Rain, enormous multipliers, an instant coin collection, and jackpot prizes of up to 2,500x.
The company will release an unprecedented series of games over the next few months that will reflect their philosophy of simplicity and flow, thereby offering operators new ways to engage with their players. These games will be Games Global exclusives.
Tom King, Senior Business Development Manager at Games Global, said:
Linko 5™ signals our intent to deliver content that aligns closely with evolving expectations. Increasingly, we are hearing that games are becoming more complex, but not necessarily more enjoyable. Linko Studios™ was created to address that concern, and Linko 5™ represents the first step towards creating games that truly resonate.
Dave Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, added:
Linko 5™ was built to provide games with clarity, pacing, and entertainment at the heart of the experience. The link-five mechanic is highly innovative, yet instantly understandable, regardless of prior experience, while the layered features and Linko Wheel ensure depth and variety for a broad audience.
