The clash of steel, the roar of the crowd, the march of a thousand soldiers under golden banners – the Legion Gold  series brings the spirit of Roman conquest to the reels. Play’n GO has forged a collection of games where bravery and fortune go hand in hand. The empire is vast, the rewards even greater – will you claim victory or fall on your sword?  With four titles in the series, each delivering its own unique test of strategy and strength, only the boldest will emerge with loot in hand. Sound the war horns – it’s time to march!    Legion Gold The standard is raised, and the legions assemble. Legion Gold  is where the battle for fortune begins, as players join the ranks of Rome’s most elite warriors. The reels are set upon a grand campaign, with golden lions roaring in defiance of any who dare stand in their way.  Gold Re-Spins are the path to true riches, as players collect Gold Coins to trigger respins, rallying their forces for one last push toward glory. Should the fabled Mega Coin appear, the battlefield shifts, offering a colossal payout worthy of a Roman triumph. Mega Free Spins further amplify the action, deploying a 3x3 Mega Symbol to crush all who oppose your ascent to greatness.  With courage and strategy, your enemy’s riches could be yours. But as they say: Audentes fortuna iuvat  – fortune favours the bold. Do you have what it takes?    Legion Gold Unleashed With the empire expanding, new threats arise. Legion Gold Unleashed  pits players against fresh challenges, sharpening their instincts (and their swords) as they march ever forward.  The Gold Re-Spins return, this time with an invaluable ally – the Gold Bag. This mighty relic gathers all instant prizes when it lands alongside Gold Coins, ensuring your war chest overflows with wealth. The tension builds with each spin, every moment another chance to plunder untold riches.  The true test comes in the Mega Free Spins, where a formidable 3x3 Mega Symbol dominates the battlefield. It is here that fate is decided – will your legion stand victorious, or be cast into the annals of history?    Legion Gold and the Sphinx of Dead A new frontier awaits, one where ancient gods and forgotten tombs lie hidden beneath the sands. Legion Gold and the Sphinx of Dead  thrusts players into the heart of Egypt, where Rome’s might is tested against forces beyond their understanding.  The iconic Gold Re-Spins and Mega Free Spins remain, but with a touch of mystery and magic. Scarabs scuttle across the reels, pharaohs watch from their golden thrones, and the enigmatic Sphinx guards a treasure trove few have ever lived to see.  The battle between two ancient civilizations is about to unfold – but this time it’s time to slink behind enemy lines and plunder what you can to bolster the Empire’s efforts. Will you command the Roman legions to victory, or be buried beneath the sands of time?    Legion Gold Victory! All roads lead to this moment. Legion Gold Victory!  is the ultimate test of a Roman commander’s skill, blending the best of the series into one decisive engagement.  The war-hardened Gold Re-Spins return, bringing with them the ever-powerful Mega Free Spins. But the true prize lies in the new Instant Prize Coins – gleaming golden artifacts that deliver immediate wins, rewarding those who dare to seize glory when the opportunity arises.  The empire’s future rests in your hands. This is your chance to etch your name into history and claim the spoils of war. Take up your sword – the final battle begins now.    The Legacy of Legion Gold From the legions’ first march to their greatest triumph, the Legion Gold  series captures the scale and spectacle of Rome’s legendary conquests. Each title presents a new challenge, a new battlefield, and a new way to command your forces toward fortune and fame.  The empire’s golden age is now – the only question that remains is whether you will stand among its greatest victors or fade into obscurity. The choice is yours – step forward and claim your destiny.

06 March 2025 – Prepare to face the legendary Gorgon in Medusa’s Madness , a mythology-infused slot where every cascade brings players closer to her petrifying power. Step into the depths of Medusa’s lair, where a 5x5 cascading grid slot awaits those daring enough to confront the serpent-haired queen. Clusters of four or more symbols trigger wins, charging the mysterious Portal to unlock powerful effects. With Special Wilds, symbol removals, and the chance to summon Medusa’s Mega Wild form, players must tread carefully if they hope to escape unscathed. Medusa’s Madness weaves together rich storytelling and compelling mechanics, drawing on Greek mythology to create an atmosphere thick with tension and anticipation. The eerie ruins of her domain serve as the perfect backdrop, while symbols like winged sandals, gleaming helmets, and ominous serpents enhance the game’s immersive experience. The Portal stands at the heart of the gameplay, storing energy from cascades to trigger formidable effects such as Petrify, which obliterates entire rows or columns, and Gaze, which removes matching symbols. Reaching 42 symbol wins unlocks the Other World Free Round, where multiple Portal Effects unleash chaos on the grid. Those who dare to open every Eye Mark in this realm will summon Medusa’s colossal Mega Wild, delivering a finale worthy of legend. Head of Game Retention at Play'n GO, George Olekszy , said: “Our mythology-inspired slots continue to resonate with players, and Medusa’s Madness takes that to another level. The cascading mechanics, Portal Effects, and the imposing presence of Medusa herself ensure that every round builds suspense and excitement. This is a game where strategy and myth collide in spectacular fashion.” With its atmospheric visuals, layered features, and high-stakes gameplay, Medusa’s Madness challenges players to defy fate and claim legendary riches – if they can withstand the Gorgon’s gaze.

Play’n GO has already announced two brand new game mechanics for 2025, as it picks up the pace of its innovation drive. Play’n GO’s head of game retention, George Olekszy, unveils the secrets behind these innovations. For two decades, Play’n GO ’s success has been built on a very simple concept: casino games need to be entertaining . In Barcelona in January for ICE, the hugely successful games studio, which has previously created industry-first innovations like the grid slot, was busy once again unveiling its latest set of new game mechanics. Play’n GO’s head of game retention, George Olekszy , comments: “It might sound like I’m stating the obvious when I say casino games need to be fun. But in fact, this runs counter to much of the historical logic in our industry, where the focus instead has been on finding ways to maximise revenue from players in the short term.” For Olekszy, Play’n GO thrives when it is building at the very cutting edge. He argues it’s the reason Play’n GO titles resonate so strongly with players. “When a player picks a Play’n GO game, they know they’re getting a great experience, win or lose.” This isn’t easy. It takes a relentless drive for innovation to continually deliver pioneering new game mechanics that keep players on the edge of their seats. The buzz in Barcelona was on two new Play’n GO mechanics, which Olekszy says will reshape the igaming landscape in 2025 and beyond . Leading the innovation blitz The first of these is Blitzways . The first game using the mechanic, Legacy of Gems Blitzways , was launched during ICE. Blitzways brings together Dynamic Payways and a Cluster Pay system to create something unique. Reels can expand or shrink with every spin, generating thousands of potential ways to win. Other mechanics along these lines have proven hugely popular among players, but Blitzways has once again raised the bar. The result is more suspense, more strategy, and a genuinely compelling game progression. It hands players greater control at a time when passive gameplay simply doesn’t cut it. “We always want to challenge industry norms,” says Olekszy. “We’re not content with incremental improvements. We want to change the game and get people thinking: ‘How have they come up with that?” Crashing back The second big innovation to come out of Play’n GO this year is CrashBack , which redefines the crash game genre which has become incredibly popular around the world over the last couple of years. CrashBack takes the thrill of real-time gameplay crash fans are familiar with, and injects it with an extra layer of choice. It means every decision carries weight. Most crash games give players one decision: when to cash out. CrashBack introduces a first-of-its-kind second-chance feature. Players can re-enter the round using the winnings they’ve already cashed out, adding an entirely new dimension. Olekszy believes CrashBack will redefine the crash genre. “Crash games have been one of the most exciting developments in igaming over the last few years, but we saw an opportunity to evolve the concept,” he explains. “With CrashBack, we wanted to move beyond the simple ‘cash out or bust’ formula and add something that keeps players engaged for longer.” Innovation without limits 2025 marks a particularly defining year for the Swedish company. With Blitzways revolutionising payways and CrashBack adding a new strategic twist to the crash genre, the company isn’t just iterating on existing trends, it’s reshaping the entire player experience. For George Olekszy, the goal is clear: innovation must be a constant pursuit, not a one-time breakthrough. And Blitzways and CrashBack are just the beginning. Play’n GO has more to come in 2025, even if Olekszy is playing his cards close to his chest. “The industry moves fast, and players’ expectations evolve just as quickly,” he says. “If you’re not continuously innovating, you’re falling behind. We see it as our responsibility to push boundaries and challenge the status quo. We have no plans to slow down.” We can expect the innovations to keep coming, but the focus remains the same: creating games that players simply love. Not just for a few spins, but for the long run.

With St. Patrick’s Day approaching, we’re showcasing the best treasures in Play’n GO’s pot of gold. And what better way to do that than with our range of Leprechaun themed titles? Filled with the luck of the Irish, these little, green-garbed guys are here to spread the wealth and a bit o’ mischief along the way.  At Play’n GO, we have a wide range of themes for our players to pick from, ranging from the mythologies of Ancient Egypt  and Arthurian Legend  to thrilling sci-fi slots  and animal slots . Not only that, but the Play’n GO library is also home to plenty of other themes to inspire and enthral players, including, in this case, our selection of Leprechaun and Irish slots. So, let’s dive on into this fabulous field of shamrocks and seek the many pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. These little fellas are a generous bunch!  Why are Leprechaun slots so popular?  Of course, everyone has their own reasons for why they enjoy what they enjoy. When it comes to Leprechaun slots there’s a lot of reasons as to why they’re so popular. First and foremost, they’re associated with gold and wealth. But second to this, these mythical beings have many other traits and things associated with them that make for a perfect gaming experience. Mischief, Celtic mythology, and humour blend seamlessly into Leprechaun narratives.   Combining these entertaining features with the mysterious and magical themes found throughout mythologies like this helps to create a perfect setting for a slot game. And not only that, but the familiar and colourful designs of pots of gold, four-leafed clovers, and rainbows add to the visual appeal of these titles, substantially. At Play’n GO, our Leprechaun slots also have lots of exciting Bonus Features for players to make use of including Sticky Wilds, Multipliers and Free Spins rounds, enhancing wins all around.  Where can you find Play’n GO’s Leprechauns?  You’d think that these guys would stick to their rolling green hills in the verdant lands of Ireland, but our Leprechauns are a restless lot, always seeking adventure. Of course, filled with wanderlust or not, there’s still no place like home and you’ll find that the Leprechauns in Leprechaun Goes Wild   are more than happy to enjoy their idyllic island home complete with Celtic aesthetics and traditional Irish symbols on the reels. But for those that have chosen to go further afield, players will see characters like Larkin the Leprechaun visiting the faeries and their enchanted forest in  Leprechaun’s Vault   as he seeks to reclaim the treasures they stole from him. As well as this, players will also get the chance to delve beneath the Earth in search of valuable gems in Shamrock Miner , or uncover lost treasures in ancient Egyptian tombs in Leprechaun Goes Egypt . And if that’s not far enough, then why not take a trip somewhere a lot warmer. Somewhere like, say, Hell itself? In Leprechaun Goes to Hell , you can do just that, and meet the feisty she-devil “Evilene”, too. You can try out demo slots of all of these Leprechaun games, as well as every other title in our vast slot library over at Play’n GO.  What features do Leprechaun slots have?  As we mentioned before, our Leprechaun slots have a variety of different features each serving to not only enhance wins for players but to also improve the engaging gameplay of each title. While the thrill of watching the reels spin is exciting, knowing that bonus features wait around the corner is enough to have players dancing a little jig in anticipation.   We have features including bonus games like the Infernal Bonus in  Leprechaun Goes to Hell , which can be triggered by landing three Evilene symbols. The bonus game then transforms the reels into a 3x3 layout with a Jackpot charge meter on the side. Each win will increase the charge meter, as players try to earn bigger and better Jackpots.   In Leprechaun’s Vault , players can earn the Treasure Free Spins round by landing three Key Scatters on the reels. The players will then be faced with the vault’s code lock which determines the number of free spins awarded, up to 24, based on how many of the cylinders show the correct number in the code. During this round, Wilds are sticky meaning they stay until the feature ends, and have a multiplier of x2, x3, or x4.    Final Verdict  With all of these exciting features, merged with the whimsical world of these mischievous Leprechauns, it’s easy to understand why Leprechaun slots, especially those at Play’n GO, are so popular among fans. If you’d like to try out these titles for yourself and see what all the fuss is about, or you just want to explore the many other themes on offer at Play’n GO, then chase the pot of gold and click below.

It feels fulfilling to be back at Play'n GO. During my time away, I explored various opportunities and gained valuable experiences, but I found myself missing the familiarity and supportive environment that Play'n GO offers. The strong relationships I built with my colleagues and the collaborative culture are something I truly appreciate. Does it feel like things have changed since you were previously at Play'n GO?

Read the second of our Returner Stories, in which we hear from Lili Berki, a Manual QA Engineer from Hungary. They returned to Play'n GO after "being lured away by a competitor"! Find out what led them to find their way back to Play'n GO here...   When you decided to leave Play'n GO previously, what was the motivator behind that decision? I was lured away by one of our competitors from the iGaming industry. I left because I was offered a much higher salary, and an ex-colleague, whom I like very much and look up to professionally contacted me regarding this opportunity. When you were at your new place, did you compare all or certain elements to your previous experience with Play'n GO? Of course! All the elements. You see, to me Play'n GO is the standard workplace.

There is a funny thing. With Play'n GO merch I am always walking around proudly in public. Feel like, yeah, that is the company I am working for. My company. And it felt off while I was away, that I still wanted to walk around the beach with my Play'n GO towel, and I was still wearing the Play'n GO sweatshirt. And I felt yes, that is where I belong. It is really great to be able to do it while being back here again. Does it feel like things have changed since you were previously at Play'n GO? Some things changed, some things did not. Overall, it feels like the same when I think about my day-to-day life here. I can sense the upscale, but I still feel very good here. What are the main things that make you happy in your role at Play'n GO? Many things! The people, the company culture, the benefits. The opportunity to grow. The opportunity to share my ideas and feedback regarding our processes. I feel my voice matters. I love my profession. QA is my passion. And I really adore our product. I enjoy the everyday challenges. My job is never boring. And as a manual QA engineer that is rare! Every game is somehow different and new. And we are constantly changing and evolving. So, I feel challenged, yet steady, in a perfect mixture.

Tell us about Play’n GO’s new Blitzways™ mechanic. How does it work?   Blitzways™ is Play’n GO’s latest innovation in dynamic slot gameplay. The mechanic is designed to evolve the way players interact with payways. At its core, Blitzways™ is an advanced variation of dynamic payways, offering up to 16,807 ways to win in a way that engages players with each spin. Unlike standard payways, where symbols simply need to land adjacent to one another, Blitzways™ introduces an element of unpredictability by combining cluster mechanics, sticky multiplier Wilds, and a dynamic reel structure where each reel can contain between 2 and 7 symbols.  One of the standout features is the way wins cascade and interact. Winning clusters must spread across at least three reels, ensuring that every win feels meaningful. Once a winning cluster is formed, it leaves behind Sticky Wilds—a feature that instantly boosts player engagement and retention. These Wilds are not just placeholders; they gain multipliers if they contribute to subsequent wins, creating a compelling cycle of anticipation and reward for players.   Legacy of Gems Blitzways™ is the first title to feature this innovative mechanic Blitzways™ is not just a new mechanic; it’s a significant evolution of the grid slot and Dynamic Payways formats. We’ve taken the elements that players love—dynamic reels, unpredictable outcomes, and high-energy gameplay—and refined them into a truly modern, fast-paced experience.     Where did the idea come from and how long did it take to develop?    Play’n GO has always committed to pushing the boundaries of slot mechanics. We are the pioneers of grid slots in the industry, and have always looked for ways to innovate on that mechanic. We constantly analyze gameplay data, customer feedback, player preferences, and market trends, and one clear insight stood out- players enjoy unpredictability, while appreciating some level of familiarity. That in and of itself presents an immense challenge: how do we create something entirely fresh while keeping it intuitive enough that players feel at home from the first spin? We were already familiar with Dynamic Payways, and we wanted to freshen up the genre, to reiterate our commitment to constant innovation and development.   This development took a considerable amount of time; we went through multiple iterations to ensure the mechanic delivered the right balance of excitement and accessibility. It wasn’t just about adding more ways to win—it was about engineering a system that dynamically shifts, creating a sense of momentum that players can feel in the moment. From the initial concept to its full realization, Blitzways™ was over a year in the making. We fine-tuned every aspect, from symbol distribution to the behaviour of the Sticky Wild multipliers, to make sure it delivered a truly next-generation slot experience.  Play'n GO's Blitzways™ Mechanic Is there a growing demand among players for new mechanics like this one?   Without question. The online casino gaming landscape has evolved dramatically in recent years, and we’re seeing a clear upward shift in player expectations. Today’s players are looking for deeper engagement, more variety, and mechanics that introduce new layers of strategy and excitement. Modern day slot games are more akin to AAA video games than their traditional reach-and-pull predecessors. We’ve spoken before about our commitment to crisp graphics, carefully crafted soundtracks and music, engaging themes and storylines, and world-class game mechanics.   Blitzways™ responds directly to this demand. Players no longer want passive experiences; they want mechanics that give them a sense of progression and control. By introducing Sticky Wild multipliers that build over time, Blitzways™ taps into that need for sustained excitement and gives players a reason to keep spinning.  This mechanic is also a great addition for operators looking to diversify their suite of online casino games. In an industry where new mechanics can often feel like very slight variations of existing concepts, Blitzways™ is a meaningful evolution that will help drive engagement across multiple demographics. It’s the redefinition of a trend, as opposed to the continuation of one- a hallmark of Play’n GO throughout our history.     Does the mechanic give slot games higher or lower volatility?    By design, the Blitzways™ mechanic itself leans towards a medium-to-high volatility experience.  The Sticky Wild multipliers add an extra dimension to the volatility curve. They create moments of tension where players know they’re building towards something bigger, and when the multipliers hit, the impact can be significant. This makes Blitzways™ an excellent choice for players who enjoy the thrill of chasing those explosive moments, but it also retains a level of consistency that keeps gameplay engaging. For operators, this flexibility is key.     Magnus Olsson - Chief Commercial Officer at Play'n GO The first game title to showcase the Blitzways mechanic is Legacy of Gems Blitzways. What was the inspiration behind this game?   Legacy of Gems Blitzways was designed to introduce the mechanic in a visually gripping and mechanically educational way. We wanted to ensure that players could immediately grasp the core gameplay while being drawn into a world that feels rich and rewarding.  The theme of precious gems is timeless in the world of online slot games, and we leaned on this to create a game where every spin has the potential to lead to huge wins. The clean and elegant aesthetic of Legacy of Gems Blitzways serves to highlight the mechanics rather than overwhelm players with them, making it easier for them to understand how Blitzways™ works.  Additionally, we designed the game’s features to complement the mechanic itself. The dynamic reel structure, cascading wins, and Sticky Wild multipliers all work together to enhance the core gameplay loop. It’s not just about introducing a new mechanic—it’s about crafting a game that makes the most of what Blitzways™ has to offer.    What has the reaction to the game been like so far?   New mechanics always take time to establish themselves in the market, but we’re already seeing strong engagement from players who appreciate the fresh dynamics that Blitzways™ brings to gameplay. As with any innovation, a period of discovery is required, where players get to grips with the unique aspects of the mechanic. We’re confident that as more players experience Blitzways™, it will become a well-recognized and highly sought after feature.   Our focus is always on continuous improvement. We closely monitor customer feedback and use those insights to refine future releases.

Watch as Lancelot scours the land in search of 15 immaculate crystal roses to present to his love, Princess Elaine. Follow this noble knight along his Quest Map as he searches for these stunning gifts throughout the vast Enchanted Woods. For each Crystal Rose Scatter that is found, Lancelot gets ever closer to his ultimate prize – the love of Princess Elaine, alongside a bountiful x100 multiplier, too! Tales of Asgard: Freya's Wedding In this Norse Mythology slot, the cruel Frost Giant, Thrym, has stolen the legendary hammer Mjölnir! He has offered to return the iconic weapon in exchange for Freya’s hand in marriage. Of course, the gods won’t stand for blackmail, so Thor, Loki, and Freya herself have devised an ingenious plan – a way to reclaim the hammer and teach Thrym what happens when folks mess with the mighty Aesir. As they say, all’s fair in love and war, and Thrym’s bride-to-be isn’t all she seems... Land three Scatter Symbols on the reels to unlock the Free Spins round. On the fifth reel, Thor will reveal that it was him behind the veil all along, appearing as a mighty Stacked Wild. Each spin, he will move from right to left, as he approaches Thrym to seal his fate once and for all... Love Joker Love and laughter go hand in hand, and what better person to bring these two things together than the Love Joker  himself? So, get ready to spin the reels and feel the love in this iconic entry in our library of valentines slots. As you spin the 3x3 reels, you’ll be on the lookout for the Love Joker landing on the central reel. If he should grace you with his presence, the Love Re-spins round will trigger. During these spins, only Wild Heart Symbols can land, with each one adding to the Heart Collection Meter. When five are collected, the bet Multiplier will increase. Should you land a Gold Heart, the multipliers will double, too, up to a total of three times. This can lead to a whopping x1008 multiplier! However, should no Wild Hearts land on a spin, the round will end, and you’ll collect your prize. Moon Princess Power of Love Some often say that love can be a battleground, especially if there’s a choice to make... In this addition to the Moon Princess series and our collection of love slots, we follow Princess Love on her own journey of romance.

This troublesome love triangle sees Prince Hail and Prince Blaze duke it out for Love’s adoration. Spin the 5x5 grid slot and seek to unleash the powers of these princes across the grid, as well as Love's own magic, too.
