"Buildin’ Bucks" is now available for players in Michigan, New Jersey, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.
Press release.- Play’n GO has announced the launch of its successful title "Buildin’ Bucks" in the United States.
"Buildin’ Bucks" was launched in other Play’n GO markets with great sales success in September this year and has now been authorized for release in five U.S. states, finally giving American players access to the 5-reel Leprechaun-themed video slot game, through a variety of authorized U.S. operators.
Play’n GO has achieved great success in 2024 in the United States, where it already holds licenses in five states and has partnered with various operators across the country.
Anna Mackney, head of the U.S. region at Play’n GO, commented: "We have been excited about the prospect of launching ‘Buildin’ Bucks’ in the U.S. since its inception. This game has all the features to appeal to American players, and we look forward to it joining games like ‘Piggy Blitz’, ‘Colt Lightning Firestorm’, and ‘Reactoonz’ as one of our flagships in the American market." Play’n GO has had an exceptional year of operations in the United States in 2024, and this network launch will give us a strong end to the year. We are already very optimistic about 2025 as we continue to seek growth opportunities across the region."
Another recent release from Play’n GO is "Sobek’s Godly Spins", a 5x3 slot set in a luxurious casino filled with deities, where gods like Sobek, Ra, and Anubis compete to be the protagonists.
With a unique feature of nested free spins, this mythological and Las Vegas adventure is unlike any other. In "Sobek’s Godly Spins", players are transported to a realm where ancient Egyptian gods enjoy the thrill of the casino, each with their own touch of divine glamour.
Sobek, the fierce crocodile god, presides over the exciting "Eclipse Spins" feature that triggers his "Nested Free Spins" for layered rewards. Ra, the sun god, and Anubis, the god of the night, each add their distinct aura, ensuring that daytime and nighttime spins bring a mix of warmth, mystery, and excitement.
"Sobek’s Godly Spins" offers a setup of "Sobek’s Godly Spins" and features designed to keep players entertained and with great rewards. The main attraction is the nested free spins mechanic. During the free spins, achieving two or more "Wild Scatters" activates additional nested free spins, with up to 16 spins available, creating the possibility of successive rewards. When the nested free spins are activated, the current multiplier (ranging from x2 to x10) is locked for the remainder of the feature, ensuring that each spin has huge potential with a constant multiplier.
The influence of each god is felt: Ra lights up the reels with prosperity, Anubis adds a cloak of mystery to the nighttime spins, and Sobek's power is fully unleashed during the Eclipse spins, with increasing multipliers and reactivation opportunities.
