Playson, the fast-growing digital entertainment supplier, has been doubly shortlisted at the 2023 EGR Italy awards – capping a memorable year on the awards circuit.

After scooping two award wins at the EGR Awards in June, Playson has an opportunity to end the year on a high at the event in Rome on November 6th.

Playson has been nominated in the Casino Content Supplier category and the Acquisition and Retention Partner category – with its games portfolio firmly in the spotlight thanks to recent releases such as Pearl Ocean: Hold and Win and Energy Coins: Hold and Win.

Tamas Kusztos, CCO at Playson, said: “We are delighted to continue to receive further recognition for our renowned slots library and tools that we have to offer.

“Italy is such a key market for us and it is incredible news that our offering is being received as an industry leader within the region.

Oleksii Mylotskyi, Chief Technology Officer at Playson, recently caught up with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to discuss how the cloud service provider supported the company’s efforts to deliver a faster and more reliable gaming experience for players.

The intriguing feature provides an overview of how Playson rebuilt its gaming service, xPlatform, with a microservices architecture using Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (Amazon EKS).

This approach has led to a reduced spin time and improved scalability during prime gaming times, which has led to an increase in bets of up to 200 percent per second.

Playson, the fast-growing digital entertainment supplier, has launched Pearl Ocean: Hold and Win, a fun, fish-filled title that exhibits two new key features in an underwater quest for wins.

Alongside the classic Hold and Win Bonus Game, the studio has introduced a Super version that offers increased win potential in this vibrant and colourful 5x4 slot. The elevated mode is triggered when a Super Bonus Symbol appears alongside five standard Bonus pearls in the main gameplay or Free Spins, as well as when it instantly appears during the original Bonus Game.

A tidal wave of elevated win potential also follows with the inclusion of the Boost x2 symbol, which adds the increased value twice and may land during any game mode alongside its standard counterpart.

With a multitude of game features on offer, including a Grand Jackpot worth 3,000x a player’s bet, this underwater escapade further highlights Playson's ability to deliver action-packed games with an abundance of entertainment on offer.

Tamas Kusztos, CCO at Playson, said: “Pearl Ocean: Hold and Win is another fun title from us that shimmers with colour and joyful artwork as users take the plunge to discover wins at the bottom of the sea.

“Along with the Super Bonus Game and Boost x2, Pearl Ocean: Hold and Win showcases a number of distinctive elements that are set to resonate with players.”

Leading the charge in digital entertainment innovations, Playson proudly announces the unveiling of its latest feature, Hold for Spin. Designed to empower players with enhanced control and faster gameplay, this addition marks a new era in slots experience.

The novel feature springs to life when players maintain pressure on the spin button, reminiscent of the autoplay mode. Upon release, the gameplay reverts to its original pace. This dynamic allows players to be in the driver's seat, determining when to accelerate or decelerate the game, especially when specific game events unfold. Notably, it gives players the chance to swiftly access the game's primary features, essentially reducing the spins’ pace leading to bonus mode activation.

This new UX enhancement showcases two game speed modes: Quick Spin - a familiar feature, which ensures a balanced gameplay speed; and Turbo Spin, which captures the essence of rapid RNG server reactions. This mode is all about reaching those coveted bonuses in record time, focusing only on the rewarding game results. Turbo Spin sessions present compelling statistics: the average sum of bets escalates by 65%, and the average bet typically increases by 7% for players engaging with this feature.

The new feature is already available within Playson’s most recent game releases across a variety of regulated markets, and initial data demonstrates the positive effect the functionality is having on driving increased engagement. 

Playson committed to introducing Hold for Spin to all upcoming game releases. Additionally, the company is enhancing its existing top game portfolio with this innovative functionality, making it available in eligible markets.

Nataliia Shkarbanova, PO at Playson, said: “Hold for Spin is not just a feature; it's one of the key steps to refine the Playson experience. Catering to the needs of players who seek more control over the gameplay, we've developed a responsible solution that aligns with their preferences.“ 

“From an operator's standpoint, the rise in wager amounts and bet sizes due to Turbo Spin is lucrative, even if these sessions are briefer. Playson's commitment to adapting to market shifts is evident with this launch, and we remain optimistic about its performance in the forthcoming months.”  

Playson, the fast-growing digital entertainment supplier, continues its fruitful collaboration with The Ear Platform (TEP), a rapidly growing certified aggregator on a multi-national scale.

This development sees Playson’s top-performing titles being included in TEP’s platform, including games from its established Hold and Win series, such as 3 Pots Riches: Hold and Win, Coin Strike: Hold and Win and Energy Coins: Hold and Win.

Playson also provides its engaging variety of promotional tools with TEP, giving its operator partners and players the chance to explore the provider’s best mechanics.

Founded in 2014 with its headquarters in Milan, Italy, TEP distributes new online titles with cutting-edge mathematics and captivating graphics – a feature of Playson’s games library – through its new branch, The Ear Casino.

Vsevolod Lapin, Chief Operating Officer at Playson, said: “The Ear Platform's API Aggregator is high performing and rapidly expanding, and we are happy to collaborate with such a flexible company with increasingly broad growth prospects. 

“This partnership represents a great opportunity for Playson to reach even more users and partners.”

Andrei Siomlea, Commercial Director at The Ear Platform, added: “Playson is a giant on the global iGaming market and is the best choice for any certified online casino. 

“Playson’s games are loved by millions of users all over the world which is why there is no iGaming project that does not include Playson in its offer of providers and The Ear Platform is proud to market its important titles.”

Playson, the fast-growing digital entertainment supplier, promises a joyful fruit game experience with modern graphics in its latest release 777 Sizzling Wins: 5 lines.

With 5 paylines and a differing experience from Playson’s existing fruit portfolio, 777 Sizzling Wins: 5 lines takes things back to basics – with an easy-to-follow gameplay.

Oleksandra Varvus, 2D Artists Stream Leader at Playson, said: “In this charming slot, we wanted to rework the retro cartoon style with modernity – revisioning the original artwork.

“We have conveyed the bright and pure colors of the fruits to portray the positive emotions associated with winning, while paying special attention to the fire animations and glow effects that add a pleasing contemporary twist.”
