Can Play’N GO Continue to Innovate in 2020?
Founded in Sweden back in 2005, Play’N GO is firmly established as one of the trail-blazing software houses that underpins the lucrative iGaming market in Europe.
The type of Play’N GO casinos found here offer a huge and diverse range of immersive games to players, and this is one of the key reasons why the iGaming market was able to produce a GGY of £5.3 billion in the year ending March 2019.
Play’N GO is also renowned as one of the most prolific and innovative software developers in the marketplace, as it looks to compete aggressively with rivals such as Microgaming, NetEnt and live casino giants Evolution Gaming.
In this post, we’ll appraise the success of this brand in 2019, while asking whether this can be sustained over the course of the next 12 months.
How Play’N GO Continued to Thrive in 2019
There’s no doubt that Play’N GO upped the ante in 2019, as it continued to eclipse all of its major rivals (both in terms of the volume of games launched and their mass appeal on the market).
To this end, the brand took the unprecedented step of launching two new titles on the same day last December, including an immersive slot called ‘Infernal Joker’ and an innovative poker iteration named ‘3-Hand Casino Hold ‘em’.
This is certainly a testament to the depth and quality of their underlying technology, while it also shows that the Play’N GO team is multitalented and capable of conceiving and designing games across a number of different verticals.
The introduction of 3-Hand Casino Hold ‘em is particularly interesting, as it added to Play’N GO’s increasingly diverse range and leverages modern technology that enables competitors to play three hands simultaneously at a single table.
These launches represented just the tip of the iceberg for Play’N GO in 2019, however, as August also saw them nominated for two prestigious awards at the Global Gaming Awards.
These awards were in their sixth year in 2019, with Play’N GO nominated primarily for the coveted ‘Digital Product of the Year’ for their server-based gaming solution OMNY.
This flexible platform delivers seamless multichannel gameplay for both operators and players alike, creating a scenario where game progress can be transferred across any land-based or digital device (including mobile) in real-time.
This nomination was just rewarded for the efforts that Play’N GO has made to deliver a seamless and tech-led gaming experience to players throughout Europe, while it’s also worth noting that the developer was simultaneously nominated for the ‘Slot Provider of the Year’.
Play’N GO had won this award for three years’ running prior to 2019, with the brand now firmly established as one of the very best slot game providers in the world.
What Does 2020 Have in Store for the Brand?
If the formative weeks of 2020 are anything to GO buy, we’d expect Play’N GO to achieve similar success, growth and levels of innovation over the course of the coming months.
This year is certainly set to be a record-breaking entity in terms of game launches, for example, with the five-reel ‘Legacy of Dead’ slot the first of 52 releases scheduled throughout 2020.
Staggeringly, this equates to launch for every single week of the year, while also highlights the incredible efficiency of the Play’N GO team and their ability to create easy-to-play slots with striking and popular themes.
Beyond this, 2020 will also see an evolution of the aforementioned OMNY platform, with this technology likely to gravitate towards the mainstream and create a more enjoyable gaming experience for players across the continent.
On a similar note, Play’N GO will continue to expand its scalable casino platform, which provides a secure and stable gambling solution for players who have a penchant for the developer’s slots and table games.
Having also partnered with Royal Casino back in 2018, the continued integration between these two entities will also offer players direct access to a huge range of games from trusted, third-party providers, ensuring that users can select from an ever greater choice GOing forward.
We will also see Play’N GO’s much-fabled Games Management Toolkit take center stage during the next 12 months, with this innovative platform providing administrative and promotional tools to help operators customize their players’ overall gaming experience.
This means that casino brands will most likely prioritize Play’N GO games over titles supplied by other providers, with players increasingly in the market for immersive games that offer genuine flexibility and can be easily configured.

QTech adds Split The Pot games to boost Africa and LatAm offering
QTech has signed a content deal with Swedish supplier Split The Pot to add new games to its aggregation platform for African and Latin American markets. The agreement was announced on 10 June 2026.
Under the deal, QTech will roll out Split The Pot’s mobile-optimised “light games”, including Comet Crash Deluxe, Wheel of Fortune and the Zama Big 5 series. The supplier says its titles are designed to support a range of volatility profiles and include “the ability to cashout at every level”.
The companies positioned the partnership around performance in emerging markets where players can face device and connectivity constraints, including lower-spec handsets, limited network access and higher data costs.
Philip Doftvik, QTech’s CEO, said: “Split The Pot offers a welcome breath of fresh air in the sector, especially with their creative cashout functionality working seamlessly even in territories where network connectivity remains a challenge. The games are therefore very well suited for the African markets, in particular, which aligns with our increased focus on the region. Locally adapted content is regularly requested from our clients in Africa, hence we are excited to release Split The Pot’s games to our partners there.”
Christian Rajter, CEO of Split The Pot, added: “We’re thrilled to join forces with QTech. This partnership means even more players in our core markets, like Africa and Latin America, will have access to our engaging games. We’ve designed them to work seamlessly, even on less powerful devices and with limited internet, ensuring everyone can enjoy the experience.”

Boomerang Partners opens the Second Half of Golden Boomerang Awards 2026 during the summer of major sports
The First Half of the Golden Boomerang Awards 2026 by Boomerang Partners is over, and this annual affiliate tournament is moving into the Second Half. The winner of the opening stage will attend the Wimbledon Championships from June 29 to July 12, 2026, the main prize of the First Half. From June 10 to July 19, the Golden Boomerang Awards will run during one of the busiest periods in the sports calendar, with events such as the FIFA World Cup and Wimbledon Championships expected to drive audience attention throughout the stage. For the Second Half, Boomerang Partners is preparing new mechanics, the next Mystery Box draw, and the main prize of the stage – a private dinner with an AC Milan Legend.
Beyond the Moment enters the next phase
The Second Half continues the main idea behind this season’s concept, Beyond the Moment. A strong start still matters, but the tournament increasingly rewards teams that can stay active throughout the competition and react quickly to key moments in the sports calendar. With updated mechanics and a packed summer schedule ahead, even new participants still have enough time to challenge the current leaders.
The Second Half changes the pace of the tournament
The start of the Second Half changes the scoring system of the Golden Boomerang Awards 2026. From June 10, each Sport FTD now brings 3 points instead of 2. This makes sports traffic even more valuable during one of the year’s busiest periods.
The stage runs alongside the FIFA World Cup and Wimbledon Championships, two events expected to generate sustained traffic throughout June and July. For affiliate teams, this creates more high-traffic periods across the calendar before the tournament enters its final stretch.
New mechanics keep the competition open
The Second Half brings new mechanics for teams joining the tournament or increasing activity during the stage. Participants entering the competition during the first 14 days of the stage will receive double points through the WELCOME BOOST mechanic until the bonus period ends.
Combined with the updated scoring system and major sports events during the stage, this gives both current participants and new teams more opportunities to close the gap and compete for the leading positions.
Boomerang Partners will also continue the Mystery Box series during the Second Half. After the first draw in the opening stage of the tournament, Mystery Box #2 will now go to 9 randomly selected active participants. This keeps additional rewards open to both long-term participants and teams that joined the competition more recently.
The main prize of the Second Half will be a private dinner with an AC Milan Legend in August 2026, continuing Boomerang Partners’ collaboration with the Club as an Official Regional Partner.
Kristina Shkredova, Affiliate Team Lead at Boomerang Partners, commented: “Closing the first stage doesn’t mean the main race is decided. The Second Half changes the tournament’s pace completely: Sport FTDs are now worth more, the sports calendar becomes even more intense, and teams still have enough space to move up quickly. We’ve already seen how competitive this season has become, but summer is where the pressure really starts. For some teams, this will be the moment to defend their position. For others, it’s the best chance to break into the fight.”
The Second Half of the Golden Boomerang Awards 2026 is now underway. As the summer sports season accelerates, affiliate teams still have time to stay active in the competition, use the updated mechanics, and improve their standing before the tournament reaches its decisive stage. Current standings, tournament updates, and registration details for both existing and new participants are available on the official Golden Boomerang Awards 2026 website. It’s TIME TO WIN THE TITLE.
