There is no denying the popularity of Microgaming’ Playboy slot. It may be a game that appeals to a fairly specific market, and is certainly not to everybody’s tastes, but that doesn’t change the success the 243 ways to win slot has enjoyed.That means that there will be a fairly large portion of the iGaming market that will be delighted to here that there is a sequel coming from Microgaming, it’s called Playboy Gold, and its due for release on March 7th (2018).
About the slot
The first Playboy slot was quite tongue in cheek, with cartoon style ladies who undressed the further you played, but Playboy Gold appears to be departing from that style.Microgaming have already released a decent amount of information about the slot, despite its launch being well over a month away, and we know the cartoon style has gone, and there’s models in the traditional Playboy bunny outfits beside the reels.This reel setup is interesting, with six reels and ten rows offering 100 paylines, which is a new direction for Microgaming, and there’s a reason for that.
Triple Edge Studios
As a giant of the industry, Microgaming is in the habit of occasionally picking up smaller companies, and one of those which was somewhat swallowed is Triple Edge Studios, which functions as an independent entity creating games for Microgaming, including Playboy Gold.Triple Edge were also behind Microgaming’s popular 108 Heroes Multiplier Fortune three-reel slot in 2017.As a result, as much as the concept may be arguably a little dated at this point, and the Playboy brand will be represented in the way it always has been, lavish lifestyles and bunny ears, the game mechanics look to be intriguing and modern, and should help Playboy Gold appeal to a wider audience.
