About The Explorers

On Monday, the Gambling Regulators European Forum (GREF) announced a reshuffle of its board following the departure of two long-standing members and the appointment of two new officers.

GREF is a cooperative network bringing together national gambling regulators across Europe and beyond to facilitate dialogue, exchange information and share best practice on regulatory strategies. 

Tim Miller, who resigned from the UK Gambling Commission earlier this year, has stepped down from the GREF board and has relinquished his role as treasurer. 

What is The Explorers?

That combinatorial structure is the real product idea. It lets a single title behave like several different bonus games depending on which crystals land. An optional setting layers on top: GO Ultra doubles every Free Spins award from seven to fourteen spins.

One notable omission for an experienced audience is the lack of a bonus buy, meaning the combined feature modes must be earned through the crystal collection system rather than purchased. That decision keeps the anticipation tied to the meters filling; it also lengthens the runway to the slot’s most rewarding states.

Triple Beasts of Fortune reflects Play’n GO’s continued reliance on high-frequency releases built on recognizable mechanical templates rather than one-off experiments. The studio has long favored feature-led iterations, and here it reworks the familiar buffalo-style expanding-reels format by making its bonus rounds combinable.
