Iconic Classic Reinvented for Slots Market Causes Major Buzz

One of the world’s most iconic puzzles games is back and it’s bringing new thrills exclusively to Buzz Bingo players. The Rubik’s Cube has been a worldwide phenomenon for some 40-years now, but to this day, I still can’t complete it, but at least I may now get a chance with the new Rubik’s Cube slot. Featuring striking 3D graphics and a compelling sticky wilds mechanic, plus a modifier with the ability to unlock a further six free game modes, it’s a game that is proving to be hugely popular already!

James Frendo, Director of Casino at Playtech, comments: “Some brands and themes are truly timeless, and few more so than the iconic Rubik’s® Cube. This legendary puzzle has fascinated players worldwide for over 40 years, so it’s very exciting to be bringing the spirit of the cube to a brand new slot game. Thanks to our game modifiers technology, operators can unlock six different free game modes, making this a truly innovative twist on a classic.”

Mind-Blowing Stuff

Did you know…

…the best time for restoring the cube in an official championship is just 3.47 seconds? Yusgeng Du from China completed the cube at the Wuhu Open in 2018 in break-neck speed and to this day, the record still hasn’t been broken! Adda blindfold and those times are still exceptionally fast - blindfolded fastest time (including memorising) is 15.50 seconds and this record is held by Max Hilliard from the US, who achieved the record-breaking time at the CubingUSA Nationals in 2019.

David Evans, Digital Operations Director at Buzz Bingo, adds: “Millions worldwide have grown up with Rubik’s® Cube, so for our exclusive launch of the new slot, we really wanted to capture the spirit of what must be the most famous puzzle on the planet. Our specially designed mini-game gives a flavour of both the classic brand and the new slot, and we’re confident players will love both ways to play.”

Playable from 10p a spin, Rubik’s Cube (not to be confused with the Ash Gaming title) is a mobile compatible slot features the six iconic colours as well as card values of 9, 10, J, Q, K and A also in those same colours. Every spin of the reels sees the cube twist – land a matching colour in the same position at the Rubik’s Cube to turn them wild. If a single colour is shown and that colour lands, it will become a wild of up to 7x! The free games feature puts you in control; do you go for the greatest number of free games with the smallest multiplier or the least number of free games with the highest multiplier? Only you can make that decision!

Christoph Bettin, Global CEO at Rubik’s®, adds: “We’ve worked very closely with Playtech to bring the legendary Rubik’s® Cube to life in this new slot game, and are delighted with the results. Innovation is what has drawn puzzle fans to our brand for over 40 years, so it’s fantastic to see that spirit come through in the Rubik’s® Cube slot.”
