Ultras Preview: BGaming Unleashes the Passion of the Stadium

[PREVIEW NOTE] This is a pre-release preview of Ultras by BGaming, scheduled for release on May 7, 2026. This article is based on information provided by the developer. We will update this exact page with our full, hands-on review and final "Chase the Scatter" score as soon as it is live.

Hello, chasers! BGaming is inviting us to feel the roar of the crowd in their upcoming release, Ultras. This title captures the raw adrenaline and intense passion of football fandom, setting the stage for a clash between Red and Blue supporters. With stadium flares lighting up the night and a high-energy soundtrack, it’s a slot built for fans of the "beautiful game."

The technical specs reveal a very solid math model: a 5,000x max win potential and Medium volatility. Most impressively, Ultras features a high RTP of 97.00% and 100 fixed paylines, providing a balanced and engaging experience for a wide range of players.

Expanding Wilds and the Stadium Atmosphere

The base game is designed to keep the action at a fever pitch, mirroring the intensity of a derby day.

• Soccer Visuals: The reels are set against an electric stadium backdrop where red and blue flares illuminate the stands. The game focuses on the rivalry between fans, bringing the thrill of away days and the passion of defending your home team to the grid.

• Expanding Wilds: Keep an eye on reels 2, 3, and 4. When Wilds land on these reels, they expand to cover the entire column, substituting for regular paytable symbols to help complete winning combinations.

• Chance x2: For those who want to turn up the heat, the Chance x2 option slightly increases your bet to double the likelihood of landing Bonus symbols and triggering the main feature.

The Progressive Hold and Win Bonus

The centerpiece of the experience is the Hold and Win Bonus game, which takes the standoff between fans and the police to the reels as you chase coin respins.

• Triggering the Anarchy: Landing 6 or more Bonus symbols triggers the feature, starting you with 3 respins on a grid where only Bonus symbols appear.

• Pre-Bonus Multipliers: At the start of the round, three random cells are assigned multipliers of x2-x5, x10, or x15. Any Bonus symbol that lands in these positions has its value boosted instantly.

• The Star Progress Bar: A star-shaped progress bar tracks your collected symbols above the grid. This progressive element adds a layer of momentum to the round:

  • 15 Symbols: Multiplies all final wins by x2.

  • 20 Symbols: Multiplies all final wins by x3.

• Respin Reset: Every new Bonus symbol that lands locks in place and resets the respin counter to 3, keeping the celebration going as you chase the 5,000x cap.

For Chasers Who Can't Wait (Bonus Buy)

Where permitted, players can jump straight into the action in the stands.

• Buy Bonus: Players can purchase direct entry into the Hold and Win Bonus game for a fixed cost, bypassing the base game hunt for an immediate shot at the trophy.

Chase the Scatter: First Look Verdict

Ultras looks like a high-intensity addition to the BGaming lineup, successfully blending immersive storytelling with proven mechanics. The combination of a high 97.00% RTP and a progressive Hold and Win bonus makes it a compelling prospect for both football fans and slot enthusiasts. Whether you support team Red or Blue, the tension of the progress bar and the potential for a 5,000x payout should keep every spin feeling like a cup final.
