The company has a management team and talent that will undoubtedly encourage its promising potential”, said Bell.

Rapidly expanding content provider pits two Jokers against one another in the all-new Joker vs Joker slot
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming invites players to enter a multiverse of mayhem in the Joker vs Joker slot. This daring new title puts a spin on the classic Joker theme by leaning into the popular multiverse trend and pitting two Jokers against one another.
Joker vs Joker combines a nostalgic 1950s comic book aesthetic with modern and innovative slot mechanics to create a unique gaming experience. The slot is a prime example of BGaming’s publishing efforts — the result of collaboration with the Golden Goat Gaming studio, bringing a completely original creative vision to life.
In the game, two different Jokers battle it out for supremacy on the reels thanks to the innovative Versus feature. Players are tasked with spinning the reels and landing wins of up to 7,500x their stake. Of course, the Jokers have several tricks up their sleeves to help players along the way, awarding mystery multipliers as a result of their fights. The game comes loaded with an exciting Free Spins feature where VS symbols appear every spin, as well as the increased possibility of triggering the Multiplier Wild showdowns with the No Joke Spin mode.
Joker vs Joker serves up a robust math model, featuring medium-volatility gameplay and the strong RTP of 95.50%. Players can also skip the queue and trigger the Free Spins bonus by using the game’s Buy Bonus feature.
Nikita Zavadsky, Custom Games Product Owner at BGaming, said: “Multiversal action is everywhere you look these days, and we decided to get the online slot world in on the action.
Joker vs Joker has allowed our team to express ourselves creatively and put a new spin on the iconic Joker theme. We are also very proud of the game’s retro visuals and design, and are delighted to have worked alongside Golden Goat Gaming in developing the slot.”
