Play’n Go, the winners of the prestigious Slot Provider of the Year accolade at the International Gaming Awards earlier this year are maintaining their close relationship with such accolades, as their epic 7×7 grid slot, Viking Runecraft has been nominated for the coveted EGR Game of the Year award.
About the slot
The first game from Play’n Go offered on a 7×7 grid, Viking Runecraft is a HTML5 ready, Norse epic of a slot, something that has been quite the trend this year, as proven by the fact that Age of the Gods from Playtech and Vikings Go Berzerk from Yggdrasil are also in the running for the award.Viking Runecraft is a great-looking slot with excellent gameplay on both desktop and mobile devices, and has found a huge level of popularity this year.
Reactions
Speaking of the nomination, Johan Törnqvist, CEO of Play’n GO, said:“Viking Runecraft has been a huge success since we released it earlier in the year and I’m thrilled it’s been nominated for EGR Game of the Year.“I’d like to thank our designers and developers for producing such an immersive and hugely playable game that has introduced a number of new features to the slots market.”Adding:“The game has achieved an extraordinary feat in seeing its popularity increase since launch, and its revenue and average play time has consistently outperformed the market.”As well as the two other Norse-themed slots listed above, Viking Runecraft is also up against NetEnt’s Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood, Evolution’s Dream Catcher, Jurassic World from Microgaming, Sakura Fortune by Quickspin, Pragmatic Play’s Queen of Gold, Wild Play SuperBet from NextGen, Wild Toro from Elk Studios, and more.With such high quality all round, there’s no predicting a winner, but Viking Runecraft has an excellent chance.https://youtu.be/u9O2_luuL6g
