Can Play’N GO Continue to Innovate in 2020?

Published

on

 

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.

Following a hugely successful first event in Cincinnati, Ohio in September 2023, the Moneymaker Tour is returning to the Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati on September 17 – 30, 2024 with a packed schedule that will guarantee more than $1 million across 15 trophy events. 

In September 2023’s inaugural stop at Hard Rock Cincinnati, the $1,500 Main Event was contested by 788 players and won by Joseph Bakun for $208,034. He was joined at the final table by Chris Moneymaker himself and WSOP Champion Joseph McKeehen and as well as the top cash prize, he also took home a crystal Moneymaker Tour trophy and a guitar trophy.

The Moneymaker Tour was created in 2023 by 2003 WSOP Champion and ACR Team Pro, Chris Moneymaker and Moneymaker Tour Executive Manager, Tony Burns. The Tour was conceived as a way for Moneymaker to give poker players opportunities to have their own ordinary to extraordinary moments as he did.

Despite its relative newcomer status, the Moneymaker Tour has made a name for itself, recently being voted the third most popular live poker tournament series behind only the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour, in a State of Poker survey. Since its inception, there have been eight events throughout Florida, Cincinnati and Houston.

The Tour has also recently announced new venues including a first visit to the birthplace of the Moneymaker boom with an event in Las Vegas from June 28 – July 6 at MGM Grand and its first international Main Event at Casino Aruba in October.

“Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati will team up with the Moneymaker Tour for a return in 2024” said Christopher Herbert, Hard Rock Cincinnati Manger of Poker & Sportsbook. “Hard Rock Cincinnati is grateful to be a part of the fastest growing poker tour in 2023. Chris Moneymaker, Tony Burns and their staff delivered an incredible experience for our guests during the 2023 Moneymaker Tour stop. There’s no better place to be in September 2024 than Cincinnati Ohio!”

“After an amazing series last September, we are excited to return to Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati”, said Tony Burns, Executive Manager of the Moneymaker Tour. “Continuing to partner with one of the most recognisable brands in the world amplifies our reach, resonates with our audience, and rocks our business to a whole other level.”
