Play’n GO heads skyward with Rosy Orbit Treasure Turn™, a radiant slot where gravity is optional and innovation is key.
A mysterious princess, a faithful fox, and a cherished rose – Play’n GO blends character-driven charm and fresh mechanics in Rosy Orbit Treasure Turn™. Set on a tiny, enchanted planet spinning through the cosmos, this 5×5 cascading slot introduces a whimsical new character through narrative-led gameplay. While the storyline gently evokes fables of solitude and curiosity, it’s the inventive Treasure Turn™ mechanic that keeps the reels in motion.
The signature Treasure Turn™ feature rotates the entire reel 90 degrees counter-clockwise after a win, sliding symbols into new positions before cascading continues. This unusual twist opens unexpected opportunities with each move, especially when large 2×2 symbols drop in. These oversized icons don’t just take up space – they crush smaller symbols beneath them to build multipliers, combining narrative weight with mechanical purpose. Occasional meteor and starfalls bring Wilds and destruction to the reels, offering controlled chaos that suits the game’s dreamlike setting.
Fans of Play’n GO’s more character-led stories – like the Moon Princess or Tales of Asgard series – will find a similar tone here. Yet Rosy Orbit Treasure Turn™ is its own creation, with its gentle pace and cosmic visuals complementing the more strategic gameplay of its cascading feature.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “We’re always exploring new ways to enhance gameplay, and the Treasure Turn™ mechanic lets players engage with the slot world in a more dynamic, spatial way. It’s an entirely fresh spin – quite literally!”
Play’n GO has delivered a poetic yet potent game where movement, story, and design orbit one another seamlessly.
