Online casino has made the 2021 SoundOut Index, a report on the effectiveness, market penetration and personality of the world’s best-known sonic logos

PlayOJO, the pioneering online casino powered by SkillOnNet, has been named as having one of the most recognised sonic logos in the UK ahead of other gambling brands as well as household names such as Heart and Asda.

The 2021 SoundOut Index is a report on the effectiveness, market penetration and personality of the world’s best-know sonic logos – these are the sounds and jingles that brands use on their radio and television adverts.

PlayOJO is ranked 23rd on the prestigious list of UK brands, one spot behind Compare the Market and ahead of big-name companies such as Funky Pigeon, Aquafresh, Tesco and TalkTalk. PlayOJO is also the number 1 online gambling brand in the Index with only Foxy Bingo making the top 30.

The report is the industry’s first ever in-depth analysis with over 30,000 consumer participants taking part in the research, creating more than 1 million words of written reviews and generating over 10 million data points to determine how effectively sonic branding is currently being used by major organisations, providing long overdue benchmarks and brand tracking metrics.

SoundOut has built world-leading data and tools to assess the impact of the sounds, music and voices that companies choose to represent their brands. This unique capability vastly improves the ROI brands get from a strategic investment in audio branding and sonic marketing.

Peter Bennett Head of Brand at PlayOJO, said: “We are honoured to feature in the 2021 SoundOut Index and to have outranked some of the biggest brands in the UK as well as our online gambling industry rivals.

“This proves that our logo and audio branding has been and continues to be a huge success, forming a significant part of our brand identity and personality. It also shows that our logo is providing an emotional connection for consumers and is triggering the desired association.”

Spinomenal has released Aztec Spell – Hold & Hit 3×3, adding a new Hold & Hit title to its slots portfolio.

The game runs on a 3×3 reel set and uses the Quetzal Bird as the Wild, substituting for all symbols except Bonus symbols. Two special Bonus symbols drive the main feature: Bonus symbols can land only on reels one and three, while Bonus Collect can land only on reel two.

The Bonus Game triggers when Bonus Collect lands alongside one or more Bonus symbols. Triggering symbols lock and the feature starts with three spins; during the feature only Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols can appear. Each spin can award multipliers of x1, x2, x5, x7, x10, and x15, and the round ends after three spins without a win or when total collected winnings reach the max x5000 multiplier.

Spinomenal said Grand, Major, Minor, and Mini in-game jackpot symbols can appear during the feature and pay immediately. A Bonus Blast feature can also trigger randomly to add extra Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols, and Spinomenal said Bonus Collect can still collect values even if it lands without starting the Bonus Game.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Aztec Spell – Hold & Hit 3×3 casts players into a mysterious jungle on the hunt for Aztec riches enhanced by some cool gameplay features. The titles’s beautiful visuals and proven Hold & Hit mechanics come together perfectly to give players an experience for the ages.”
