Key Points
Played on a 5x4 layout with 25 paylines, Racing Royalty brings the energy of the racetrack to the reels with its engaging gameplay

Leading online slots and table games provider Habanero has released Racing Royalty, a fast-paced slot built around Hold and Ride mechanics with a symbol locking maximum win potential of up to 1,324x.

Played on a 5x4 layout with 25 paylines, Racing Royalty brings the energy of the racetrack to the reels with its engaging gameplay. Double horse symbols appear throughout the base game, charging onto the reels and counting as two symbols toward winning combinations, doubling any payout potential.

When the Hold and Ride feature is activated, symbols lock in place and re-spins begin. New symbols that land lock and reset the spins, allowing the feature to continue and build momentum, while Wilds can also lock to help keep the re-spins active.

Free Games are triggered by landing three Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5, with the Hold and Ride feature active throughout the round.

Racing Royalty includes Habanero’s established engagement tools, including the Jackpot Race and Buy Feature, supporting a wide range of regulated markets.

The title expands Habanero’s portfolio of top-performing slots, reinforcing the studio’s focus on clear mechanics, recognisable themes, and consistent gameplay across devices.

Toni Karapetrov, Head of Corporate Communications at Habanero, said: “Racing Royalty is designed to deliver straightforward, momentum-led gameplay. The Hold and Ride mechanic provides a clear focal point, while the locked Wilds and Free Games structure allow the experience to build.

“As with all our releases, the aim is to create a slot that balances strong thematic presentation with reliable performance for our operator partners.”

Good to know

Habanero is now certified in 20+ jurisdictions, has more than 150 slot games, a wide range of table and video poker games, a number of varied and original marketing tools, as well as a unique trademarked jackpot system
