You’re wearing a tracksuit. It’s 3:00 AM. You’re squatting next to a rusty Lada in a concrete jungle that smells vaguely of diesel. Your grandmother—your Babushka—is yelling at you from a second-story window, but you’re too busy rolling dice with a guy named Vlad who looks like he hasn't slept since the Berlin Wall fell.

Welcome to Gopnik.

When a game named "Flock Me" lands on the upcoming release schedule, you stop and look. It’s audacious, a little bit silly, and, as it turns out, a perfectly literal description of its core mechanic.

NetEnt's new slot, scheduled for an exclusive release tomorrow, November 13, 2025, drops us into a high-concept "gangster bird" prison. Where recent hits like Gonzo's Quest II were all about grid expansion, Flock Me is about consolidation.

You’ve probably seen them popping up in casino lobbies. Names that are both new and instantly familiar, like Starburst Tap-a-Roo, Dragon's Luck Tap-a-Roo, and Rainbow Jackpots Tap-a-Roo.

When players see a new suffix added to a classic slot, we're conditioned to ask one question: What's the new mechanic?

Is it like Megaways, changing the reels? Or Clusterbusters, changing the paylines?

That's the first misconception. "Tap-a-Roo" isn't a new player-facing mechanic. It's not a new feature you play. It's a new category of game.

You’ve seen this before.

A charismatic host, a gleaming studio, and a big, shiny object. We’ve all been there. We've watched the flapper on Crazy Time land one segment away and seen the money wheel on Funky Time just... keep... spinning.

So when Evolution announced a new "Game Show" called Red Baron, launching tomorrow, November 12, we were ready for another wheel.

But this is different.

The Agent Jane Blonde series has seen significant mechanical shifts since its 9-line debut. We've had the low-volatility, 15-line Agent Jane Blonde Returns and the 243-ways, medium-volatility Agent Jane Blonde Max Volume. Now, Stormcraft Studios is taking the character in another new direction.
