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.

ICONIC21 releases Jack and the Wild Beanstalk slot with growing Wild multipliers
New 5×5, 19-payline title adds Enhanced Free Spins and a 10,000x max win, with bets from 0.1 to 25.
ICONIC21 has launched Jack and the Wild Beanstalk, a new 5×5 slot built around an ascending Wild feature and multiplier progression. The game runs on 19 fixed paylines and adds an Enhanced Free Spins mode designed to increase Wild frequency.
At the core of the game is the “Magic Bean Wild,” which moves vertically up the reels with each spin. ICONIC21 says the Wild’s multiplier increases by its value at every step, and that when multiple beanstalks align their values combine.
The Free Spins mode extends the same mechanic. In the Enhanced version, ICONIC21 says the reels are “boosted with additional beanstalks,” increasing the chance of landing Wilds on subsequent spins.
Jack and the Wild Beanstalk offers a maximum win of 10,000x the stake, with a maximum exposure of 250,000. Bet sizes range from 0.1 to 25.
Edvardas Sadovskis, Chief Product Officer at ICONIC21, said: “Jack and the Wild Beanstalk is built around a simple but powerful idea – visible progression that keeps players engaged.
“The growing Wild mechanic creates genuine anticipation with every spin, and the Enhanced Free Spins mode amplifies this excitement by increasing the frequency of Wilds on the reels.
“It’s a game that builds momentum naturally, and that translates directly into longer sessions and stronger performance for operators. We’re thrilled to be adding another forward-thinking title to ICONIC21’s portfolio.”
