Neko announces the launch of Don Hidalgo Ultra Link&Win™ for September 1st
Neko Games® is thrilled to announce the global release of Don Hidalgo Ultra Link&Win™, launching September 1 exclusively for Games Global operators. After winning players over worldwide in his debut adventure, Neko Games’ iconic knight errant returns with a new name and a renewed quest.
Don Hidalgo Ultra Link and Win™ builds on the success of its predecessor, which ranked as the number one game in Spain across all categories in its first year (SlotCatalog), with enhanced features, intuitive gameplay, and playful literary references, promising a fast and rewarding instant bingo experience.
Set in the colourful world of La Racha, players can activate up to four tickets per round and unlock 19 possible prize patterns, with 12 extra balls available to boost their chances of winning.
Key features include:
- Super Line: If a line is completed before the 18th ball is drawn, players spin the Whirligig for an instant win multiplier. Prizes range from 2x to 5x. Landing the Don Hidalgo symbol instead unlocks a second, more powerful Whirligig with bigger multipliers of up to 50x.
- Ultra Link&Win™ Bonus: By collecting six or more special Coins during a round, players trigger the UltraLink&Win™ bonus, where they enter a slot-style grid with respins. Every new Coin that lands resets the spin count and stays locked in place. Fill the entire grid to win the Mega Jackpot worth 10,000x.
- ExtraLink: During the Extra Ball stage, each purchased ball has a chance to award the ExtraLink prize. This instantly pays out the current value of all collected Coins without removing them from the Link & Win™ panel, allowing players to continue progressing toward the bonus round.
- Scratchcards: Landing specific patterns activates a 3×3 scratchcard mini-game with a guaranteed prize. Match three symbols to win, with values up to 100x. Certain scratchcards also offer a spin of the Whirligig to multiply the prize even further.
- Wild Balls: When players buy extra balls, they might receive a Wild Ball. This allows players to choose and daub any number still missing on their tickets, improving their odds of completing a prize pattern.
“We’re excited to bring players back into a world that captured so much attention,” said Sebastian Perrier, Founder & Director at Neko Games. “Don Hidalgo Ultra Link & Win™ is the spiritual successor to our most successful release to date, combining a theme that resonates strongly in Spanish-speaking countries with proven mechanics that have already driven strong engagement in key markets such as Brazil and the UK.”
With a familiar spirit and a fresh identity, Don Hidalgo Ultra Link & Win™ is set to embark on a noble new quest for riches, bringing proven gameplay and a distinctive theme to players worldwide when it launches on 1 September.

Neko Games reversiona su popular videobingo con Super Showball Mystery Link&Win
El estudio de juegos Neko Games anunció el lanzamiento oficial de su nuevo título Super Showball Mystery Link&Win, la tercera evolución de la marca de videobingo que ha cautivado a los jugadores brasileños durante más de dos décadas, y que ya se encuentra disponible en los operadores de Games Global.
Este juego de videobingo tomó gran popularidad en Brasil a principios de la década de 2000, cuando el título original Showball se ganó un lugar como uno de los juegos más emblemáticos de su época. Para entonces, era conocido por su logotipo verde, su fuente cursiva fluida, su estética metálica y su diseño de cuatro cartones con bolas extra y patrones ganadores.
“El corazón en el centro de la pantalla se convirtió en un símbolo que los jugadores recuerdan con cariño”, destacó Neko Games.
Más tarde, la empresa dio un nuevo impulso al tema con Super Showball. Ahora, Super Showball Mystery Link&Win presenta su tercera generación, que se basa en la popularidad del original, al tiempo que añade imágenes modernas, funciones más completas y la mecánica Link&Win.
“Showball tiene un legado en Brasil. Introdujo mecánicas y efectos visuales que los jugadores no habían visto antes”, expresó Juan Pablo Córdoba, fundador y director de Neko Games.
Juan Pablo Córdoba: “Cuando lanzamos Super Showball en 2020, comprendimos lo importante que era el juego original para muchos jugadores y cómo les llegaba al corazón en busca de buena suerte. Queríamos evolucionarlo de una manera que tuviera sentido para aquellos que recordaban el original, pero que también resultara emocionante para alguien que lo descubra por primera vez”, añadió. La nueva versión, según Neko Games, tiene actualizados muchos de los elementos visuales del original, pero se mantiene fiel a sus raíces y añade nuevas características que amplían la jugabilidad clásica.
Estas nuevas características incluyen:
- Jackpot Bar: Los jugadores solo tienen que recoger tres kobans en una sola ronda para ganar un premio jackpot. Si recogen los seis, activan el Mega Jackpot de 5000x.
- Bonificación Link&Win: Al llenar el Mystery Pot con diamantes durante la fase Extra Ball activa la bonificación Link&Win, donde esperan más kobans y oportunidades de ganar el jackpot.
- Bonificación Offer: Los jugadores pueden aceptar un premio o arriesgarse por más en esta función que pone la decisión en manos del jugador.
- Bonificación Scratchcards: Los jugadores pueden ganar hasta 200 veces con recompensas garantizadas, además de la oportunidad de revelar un premio misterioso oculto.
- Maneki-Neko Flyby: El icónico gato regresa, dejando caer kobans o bolas gratis para impulsar la acción y ofrecer aún más posibilidades de ganar.
Desde la compañía destacaron que Super Showball Mystery Link&Win “combina el atractivo reconocible de una marca clásica favorita de los jugadores con características modernas, probadas y de alto rendimiento diseñadas para impulsar la participación y la retención”.
En esta línea, afirmaron que el lanzamiento ofrece un “potencial destacado” para los operadores que buscan ofrecer temas familiares con un nuevo giro.
