The latest title from Play’n GO has been revealed today, with the release of Banana Rock. The game centres round fictional rock band Banana Rock, a group of musical monkeys, led by their frontman Simeon Chimpsky, coming together for one last musical performance. If they reach that magical final encore players are guaranteed a win. The game makes use of the Play’n GO trademark Win Spin™ feature, an interesting concept introduced by Play’n GO whereby the player is guaranteed a win at the end of their spin. It is a feature that has been used to great effect previously on games such as Royal Masquerade and Pimped. The game has an interesting theme but CEO Johan Törnqvist believes it is not enough for the game to be “interesting”, and that it must have more going on below the surface: “Banana Rock is a very creative concept for a slot and it’s drawing people in, but you don’t keep players entertained with good looks alone. The visuals are backed by dynamic gameplay including the Re-Spin and Free Spin features, these are what keep the players enjoying the game. The Win Spin feature is particularly engaging and we are very proud of it. It gives players that little something extra and, at the end of the day, we want to entertain players.”

Leading casino supplier Play’n GO today announced the release of their latest slot title Dragon Maiden; an epic slot adventure full of flame and fortune! This new slot centres around Geneth the Dragon Maiden, a legendary warrior who is the key to conquering the fearsome Red Dragon, unlocking its awesome power and the untold riches it guards. It features stunning high-quality graphics for both the character and the visual animations for the titular dragon, as well as the symbols on the reels. Play’n GO CEO Johan Törnqvist believes that the entertaining nature of this game and the exceptional quality of its visuals will be a big draw for players: “We always put entertainment first in our titles and Dragon Maiden is no exception. This impressive and original storyline will spark imaginations of the players, with exciting features to keep them engaged. All of this is wrapped up in the breath-taking graphics that our superb teams have put together, creating an immersive gaming experience for the enjoyment of players”. The 5-reel slot not only includes expanding Wilds but also a ‘Golden Free Spins’ bonus feature which expands the reels to double their height and multiplies the number of players’ pay ways by a mammoth 32x from 243 to 7,776. Dragon Maiden marks another exciting game release for, what has been, a busy year for the award-winning supplier.

25th October, 2018 - Leading supplier Play’n GO have today released their latest slot title Gunslinger: Reloaded; a fun adventure based on the legend and lore of the Golden Age of the Wild Wild West. The 5-Reel slot is based around the mysterious Gunslinger, a nomadic cowboy who roams the Wild West, chasing lawbreakers and collecting bounties on some of the world’s most wanted criminals. The award-winning supplier has also included three great bonus features to make gameplay more exciting; offering lots of fun and great chances for players to win. You can test the Gunslinger’s shooting skills by shooting playing cards to win the jackpot or shoot empty bottles to release the free spins. The most inventive feature is the ‘Bounty Hunt’, where players chase one of the game’s main villains through the streets of the town, before finally facing them in an old-fashioned shootout! Setting the game against such a well-known and much beloved backdrop meant particular detail had to be paid to the game’s design and its features, according to Play’n GO CEO Johan Törnqvist: “The Western genre is extremely popular and well-known all over the world so, when designing a game like this, you have to be very faithful to the conventions of the genre. Our producers made sure that the game captures the look and the feel of the Golden Age of Westerns, in both the main game and all of the added features, containing some of the most popular elements, to give players an immersive experience.”

Casino supplier Play’n GO have been nominated in two categories at the upcoming 2018 SBC Awards. The nominations are for Game Developer of the Year and Best Gaming Innovation awards. These are the first nominations for Play’n GO at the SBC Awards and are the latest in a slew of nominations for the provider this year. The Best Gaming Innovation nomination comes for their musically themed slot House of Doom , released earlier this year, in collaboration with Swedish Metal band Candlemass , and took the novel approach of using music specifically crafted to be part of the game rather than taking the standard IP approach. The awards themselves, in their fifth year, are described as “rewarding and celebrating the very best in Sports Betting” and will be taking place on the evening of December 4th at The Artillery Garden at the HAC in London. CEO Johan Törnqvist acknowledged these latest nominations are part of a trend for the company this year: “This year, more than ever before, we have been nominated multiple times for the innovation and development of our games. We have grown and progressed as a company and this recognition serves to tell us that our progress is both positive and effective. I’ve always stressed that we aren’t in this business for the awards but, once again, we are appreciative of the acknowledgment”

4th October, 2018 - Award-winning supplier Play’n GO today revealed their latest gaming title Iron Girl; a space age slot based on the adventures of the titular character. The game is a 5-reel slot that follows the adventures of Iron Girl, an intergalactic bounty hunter chasing down wanted criminals across the galaxy with the help of her Iron Armor. This slot also marks a first for Play’n GO, as they are making use of 3D graphics to animate the Iron Armor feature in their game a format that they have not previously used but has become increasingly popular in online casino gaming over the last year. Play’n GO CEO Johan Törnqvist spoke about the use of 3D and the decision to finally bring it into play for this game: “3D graphics are getting very popular in slot gaming, but we didn’t want to rush right into using them just because the option was there, we wanted to make sure we had the right game and that it would look perfect! When designing Iron Girl, we decided we needed something visually to make the game stand out and do justice to the concept and the entertaining nature of the game, so the time was right for 3D. It is a very engaging game, and the visuals add even more to the player experience, which is very important for us.” If the game plays as well as it looks, then Play’n GO may just have another smash hit on their hands.

Play’n GO beat some stiff competition last night to pick up the award for Best Online Casino Provider at the Central Eastern European Gaming (CEEG) Awards in Budapest. The awards, currently in their third year, were held at the Ritz-Carlton Budapest and celebrate outstanding contributions to the online sector of industry in the Eastern European Market, although this is the first year that the award has been handed out in this format. The category played host to some popular names such as NetEnt and Bet Construct but, in the end, it was Play’n GO who walked off with the coveted award, which was received by COO Martin Zettergren. CEO Johan Törnqvist was delighted with the company’s recognition in the region and felt it was a fitting result given the company’s hard work. “We are very active in this region and, as with all areas we work, we have dedicated ourselves to creating the best content we can and making sure we give the operators what they need to best entertain their players. Our people work incredibly hard to make sure we’re only putting out the finest games and services possible and I’m sure this kind of recognition will only serve to make us work harder to continue setting high standards.”
