Answering Operator Demand for Clarity, Pace and Excitement, Linko 5 Builds on a Strong Early Response Ahead of Global Release

Linko Studios™, part of the Games Global network, has announced Linko 5™ is coming soon. The debut release is shaped by operator and player feedback calling for gameplay that’s easy to follow, quicker in rhythm, and more exciting from the base game. Linko 5™ will be made available to all Games Global customers from 2 February.

Linko 5™ is built around a simple rule: any five symbols on a payline pays, even if they don’t match. Coin values are shown on the grid, and wins are paid as the total of the values on the line, making results clear as they land.

Following private tournaments with selected operator teams ahead of launch, an initial exclusivity rollout began in December 2025 with Flutter (UK), ComeOn Group (Sweden), Royal Casino (Denmark), NLO (Netherlands), Coolbet (Chile), among others. Early reaction has been very positive, with teams highlighting the performance and the variety of features available.

“Similar points kept coming up from different operators, again and again, and that gave us a clear direction for Linko 5™” said Tom King, Senior Business Development Manager of Games Global. “Operators want Innovation in slots, yet we wanted to keep the mechanic familiar to players whilst building a feature-rich game without compromising on quality. That’s
why Linko 5™ keeps the base game sharp and readable, then uses the many features in the game including the Linko Wheel to deliver the bigger feature moments, including multipliers, collect-style payouts, wild-filled moments and jackpots. We’ve been thrilled with the early response during our initial exclusives, and we’re keen to see how it’s received as the rollout continues.”

Linko 5™ plays on a 5×5 grid with 12-fixed paylines paying horizontally, vertically and diagonally. A sticky Wild sits in the centre to help complete lines and can also transform at key moments: at the start of a round it may trigger a Power Up! modifier to increase some coin values on paylines, or at the end it may trigger a Respin that replays empty squares to
give additional coins a chance to land and be counted.
