The company’s new licence will allow players based in Greece to continue to enjoy Play’n GO’s portfolio of industry-leading entertainment while adhering to newly introduced gaming regulations

Play’n GO has received a new Greek licence allowing the company to continue supplying operators in Greece with their industry-leading portfolio of games.

New supplier licences are being awarded following several changes to gaming regulations. This will see all online slot games in Greece carry a €2 maximum bet per spin, a minimum three-second average spin time, and a maximum game win of €70,000 per round, among other measures.

As one of the first suppliers to be awarded the new licence by the Athens-based Hellenic Gaming Commission, Play’n GO customers will be able to continue to offer leading titles such as The Green KnightRich Wilde & The Amulet of the Dead and their most recent music release Hammerfall to players who are resident in Greece, while complying with the latest responsible gaming regulations.

Magnus Olsson, Head of Sales and Account Management for Play’n GO, said, “Regulatory changes are a constant in the global gaming industry, and we welcome the new clarity provided by the Hellenic Gaming Commission in their latest framework. We will now work closely with our partners to ensure that their Greek operations are compliant with the new regulations.”

One of the hallmarks of Play’n GO is producing industry-leading titles that are both popular with players and simultaneously available to operators in multiple jurisdictions. We deliver this rollout with varying localised differences in-game mechanic requirements such as maximum bets or spin speeds, which is a testament to our dedication to the regulated markets.

Olsson explained further, “We take immense pride in our games. But we also love to bring more to the table too. The rigour in our approach to both compliance and game development ensures that our partners can rely on us to deliver entertaining content that is ready for all of their players to enjoy from the first day of global release, across multiple markets.”

“But to truly enjoy a gaming experience, players must feel safe. And that’s why we’re only too happy to tailor our titles to ensure they comply with all local rules in regulated markets all over the world.”
