Renowned industry provider Pragmatic Play emerged as a key player at the annual EGR Operator Awards 2021, often referred to as the "Oscars" of the gambling sector. During the prestigious ceremony held at the luxurious JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London, Pragmatic Play was honored with the coveted "Game of the Year" award.
The company competed against several other contenders, showcasing its video slot, Gates of Olympus, which boasts a return-to-player (RTP) rate of 96.5%. This particular game was recognized by the expert panel and rightfully earned the high accolade.
Gates of Olympus stands out with several competitive advantages, including an unconventional payline format that pays from left to right, as well as a unique system that allows winning symbols to appear anywhere on the reels. Additionally, the game offers impressive multipliers that enhance its appeal.
"We are incredibly proud to receive this award from such a respected panel of experts at the EGR Operator Awards. Our company has been recognized for developing the best slot of the year. The final shortlist was highly competitive, but we managed to prevail in a tough contest and take home the coveted gold. We are thrilled that Gates of Olympus has resonated so well with audiences. This victory is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. We thank everyone involved in organizing this fantastic event in London," said Yossi Barzeli, Business Development Director at Pragmatic Play.
It’s worth noting that this year, Pragmatic Play has already secured a number of prestigious awards at the SBC LatinoAmerica and Gaming Intelligence Latin America Awards, as well as a win at the Starlet Awards, organized by 5 Star. According to the provider, 2021 has been one of its most successful years to date.
Additionally, Pragmatic Play recently announced the debut launch of its live casino products in Lithuania.
