Las Vegas, NV – February 1, 2023 – Bluberi® (or the “Company”) announced its latest title, Xìng Fú 888™, launched at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California. Located steps inside the casino from Pechanga’s hotel lobby, casino enthusiasts can be among the first in the country to play the game at Pechanga. They will find it just inside the casino across from Umi Sushi & Oyster Bar.

Xìng Fú 888™‘s multiplier wheel bonus feature, with the potential to multiply all landed cash on reel values up to 888 times, can be won in multiple different ways. This allows players anticipation and excitement on every spin. Players who tested the game said they liked the ability to choose one of the 15 independent reel spots as their Lucky Spot. Lucky Spots offer chances to win the “Big Baby” bonus or Lucky Free games. Xìng Fú 888™ delivers a never-the-same-twice slot experience and could become a new player favorite.

“The entire Pechanga team continues to be amazing partners and advocates of Bluberi® and our industry-leading slot products,” stated Steve Kohon, Vice President of Sales, West, for Bluberi®. “We’ve put a lot of thought, creativity, and development into this game. We think players are really going to like Xìng Fú 888™.”

Bluberi Gaming® has redefined the game development process by applying extensive market research, innovative game design, and a new school attitude to create industry-leading performers such as Treasure Hunter™, Fù Bamboo™, and Devil’s Lock™. This rise in popularity and renewed interest in Bluberi Gaming® has opened the door for the expansion of Bluberi®’s footprint.

“Games such as Xìng Fú 888™ stand out on our casino floor, and our guests like the multiplier chances to win,” said Alex Rodriguez, Vice President of Slot Operations for Pechanga Resort Casino. “We were excited to see the game this past October at the G2E conference, and guests are going to like being among the first to play it at Pechanga.”
