PlayN Go take great pride in making each of their games a stand-out feature in its own right. One of the reasons that their library of games is comparatively small is this commitment to making each offering stand on its own merits. Therefore, when it comes to picking out the best games, winnowing them down to just five is a tough job. However, all of the following are well worth your time.
One of the most joyful slots games you’re ever likely to see, Godselsdagen brings detailed, colourful graphics and plenty of bonus spins. This Danish-themed game is soundtracked by cheerful music and occasional applause, and there’s rarely any let-up in the onscreen action, making it a hugely diverting gaming experience.
With a magnificent graphical layout and an entertaining pirate theme, Hunt for Gold is an excellent, multi-layered slot with plenty of enjoyable mini-games and potential opportunities to pick up lots of buried treasure. The symbols on the reels are the standard cherries, bananas and number 7s, but have been stylised to look like pirate tattoos – a nice touch, and a very PlayN Go way of doing things.
One of PlayN Go’s most enduringly popular slots, Ninja Fruits takes the standard fruit-based theme of most slots and adds a Ninja twist. As a clever and impressive graphical treat, when you spin a winning combination featuring any fruit, the onscreen Ninjas step in and slice that fruit to the accompaniment of cheerful sound effects.
The PlayN Go commitment to an excellent sonic experience is perhaps best exemplified by the gorgeous Jazz of New Orleans. The Big Easy is faithfully recreated in the graphics, which evoke an evening on Bourbon Street, but it’s the cool soundtrack that steals the show. With plenty of side-games and lots of bonus scatter, the entire experience is a genuine delight.
Finally, PlayN Go aren’t the first developer to create a vampire slot, and we’re fairly sure they won’t be the last. With Wild Blood, however, they might have made the best of the genre – a marvellously brooding game that expertly straddles the line between fun and chilling. The graphics are superb, the sloshing blood sound effects a triumph, and the playability is second-to-none.
