Fans of ’80s horror films are in for a treat (or maybe a trick) with Play’n GO’s Halloween-inspired game, The Wild Class.

It’s the class of ’83, three senior undergrads, Jess, Mike, and Chris, are in their final year. But these aren’t your typical university students. Oh no. They’re harbouring a terrifying secret that they must keep from their fellow classmates. At the stroke of midnight, they shapeshift into hungry werewolves. Can they keep from preying on their classmates before the sun begins to rise?

Like Play’n GO’s Saxon, this game features simple stacked symbol mechanics where characters appear on the reels. The mechanics complement the theme of the characters as they shapeshift into werewolves, symbols have the potential to transform into extra Wilds.

The game is set on a haunted amusement park backdrop with the full moon ever-present. Jess, Mike, and Chris appear on the grid. If you think back to movies such as Teen Wolf, these characters take on the classic aesthetic of senior undergrad students in the ’80s: the cheerleader, the football captain, and the bookish student.

Even if you’re not a fan of horror films, the design of the characters radiates an ’80s feel. The symbols are reminiscent of varsity jackets with primary colours that stand out on the reels. Head of Games, Charlotte Miliziano said.

“We wanted to add another Halloween type title to our portfolio as Happy Halloween was released in 2015. ’80s films like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th are making the rounds on Netflix, so we thought it was about time to add another spooky slot to our repertoire. Plus, we’re big fans of ’80s music!”

Swedish gaming giants’ games now available in the province of Córdoba’s newly regulated market

Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has today announced their expansion into yet another new regulated market, as the Swedish gaming giant has agreed a partnership with Betsson in the province of Córdoba, Argentina.

Argentina is currently in a process of regulation for online gaming purposes on a province-by-province basis, and the partnership with Betsson sees Play’n GO enter yet another regulated market, keeping up the momentum from 2023 that saw the company expand its global reach.

This announcement sees Betsson’s players in Córdoba gain access to Play’n GO’s entire catalogue of games, including classics such as Book of Dead, Reactoonz, and Moon Princess.

This announcement is a signal of intent from Play’n GO, who reiterate their commitment to be present in every regulated market in the world.

Michele Stefanelli, Sales Leader, LATAM and Southern Europe, Play’n GO said: “Our first foray into a new region is always exciting for us, and we’re looking forward to a successful partnership with Betsson in Córdoba. Players around the world, and especially in the LATAM region, have already shown their fondness for our content, and we’re quietly confident that this new region will be no different. We are on record with our commitment to a safe, regulated industry, and we’re very pleased to see that approach rolled out globally by lawmakers and operators alike.”

Maximiliano Bellio, Managing Director Betsson Argentina, added: “We’re pleased to welcome Play’n GO to the Betsson family here in the Córdoba region, and we look forward to many years of success together. Like Play’n GO, Betsson is committed to a sustainable industry model, so this partnership makes perfect sense for both parties. We’re sure our players will be as excited as we are once they start playing these games that have proven so popular around the world, so let’s get started.”

Play’n GO’s games are already available in the autonomous city of Buenos Aires and Buenos Aires Province within Argentina’s federal system.
