Slot developer Belatra has strengthened its content lineup with the release of Brother CrossBolt, an atmospheric gothic adventure that plunges players deep into the night in search of immortal vampires.
Inspired by classic horror fiction, the narrative follows a hardened hunter equipped with a mysterious medallion. When pushed to the edge, the medallion unleashes his inner werewolf, driving him out into the fog to track down creatures of the dark.
Designed with high-engagement mechanics, the game operates on a cascading grid system where winning symbols vanish to allow new icons to drop into position. To enhance base game dynamics, Giant 2×2 and 3×3 symbols can land randomly across the reels, functioning as blocks of matching icons that shatter when involved in a winning combination to clear space for subsequent cascades.
Revolver multipliers and hero boosters
At the core of the action are Silver and Golden Revolvers. Upon landing, their chambers spin open to reveal hidden multipliers spanning from x2 to x100, which are instantly fed into a Global Multiplier that increases with each consecutive cascade. When spins fail to yield a payout, Hero Boosters can activate randomly: the Bomb detonates surrounding non-paying symbols to force a fresh cascade, while the Change modifier transforms lower-value icons into higher-paying symbols.
Triggering the Free Games feature requires landing four Scatter symbols. During this round, the Global Multiplier carries over between spins without resetting. A rare Red revolver loaded with six x100 multipliers can emerge during the climax of the feature, fully loading the Golden Revolver’s chambers and sending the Global Multiplier soaring.
For intensified volatility, Hot Mode initiates with a heightened starting multiplier, frequent boosters, and elevated symbol action, paving the way to the game’s 25,000x maximum win ceiling. Players can also utilize the Buy Bonus feature for instant access to Free Games, Hot Mode, or guaranteed revolver waves, alongside a Bet +25% option that boosts Scatter landing frequency.
Leadership insights on immersive design
Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, commented on the new release:
“Brother CrossBolt is one of the darkest worlds we’ve built so far, and the soundscape pulls players into the action. Underneath all that gothic atmosphere sits a revolver-powered multiplier system that grows with every cascade. With Giant Symbols, Hero Boosters and the Red Revolver adding further excitement, players can look forward to a thrilling experience packed with twists, surprises and opportunities for big wins.”
