2 Down 5 to Go for Play’n GO

The second week of December is upon us and as I sit here sipping on my (10^th!) cup of coffee of the day, I begin to wonder what the scenes must be like over in the Play’n GO offices, because after all, they did promise us a new slot machine every week for a whole year, and they’re not exactly on target! We’re week 49 if you’re wondering, which means they should have released at least 49 games by now, but even with news of two new titles – New Year’s Riches and Ice Joker emerging, that title count remains at 47.

So, that means two behind target – could that mean they’re two weeks behind target too? It’s a close one to call but in the past, we’ve seen four titles appear in the one week, meaning they are very capable of reaching their 52 slots in 2020 commitment. Martin Zettergren, Play’n GO CPO, spoke about nearing their 2020 target: “It’s simple, what we set out to do, we achieve. We challenged ourselves to reach further than ever before, but not to reach so far, we would compromise our quality or integrity. We’re only a couple of weeks away from a promise we made to all of our partners, a commitment we look forward to fulfilling before moving onto the next phase of our development. 2020 was good, but 2021 will be even better.”

New Year’s Riches was unveiled at the end of November and there’s no mistaking what theme it holds – the clue to what to expect is in the name! Focusing on the biggest global celebration of the year while leaving the festivities behind, this 5-reel title delivers plenty of celebratory moments with bonus spins, guaranteed multipliers of 20x and regular base game wins. Keep a look out for the scatters appearing during the free games bonus – these offer additional re-spins and additional ways to win!

The first week of December marked the release of Ice Joker, (it’s the complete opposite of Fire Joker creation!), a new more feminine release which finds itself part of the joker ‘family’ of slots. Iceilia, the star of this masterpiece, has the power to unleash frozen fury onto the reels which then trigger unique re-spins and epic wins! A bonus spins round with a thermometer charge is activated when three Iceilia symbols land and when a trio of snowflakes fall during your free games, the bonus wheel kicks in where even more joker wilds are guaranteed!

CPO Martin Zettergren wanted to explain why the software developer has focused on slot families this year: “Ice Joker is an excellent addition to, not just our portfolio, but also our joker series of games. It provides a new dimension to the series, but still provides its own unique entertainment. Our game families are not just about creating games; they’re also about creating legacies, and that’s what we’re doing here at Play’n GO. We will use the connection these series create to introduce players to new ideas and forms of entertainment, as well as creating new legacies for them to enjoy.”
