Leading online slot game provider Play’n Go announced Thursday they have expanded their partnership with BetMGM which will see new titles appear in the Keystone State.

The partnership between Malta-based Play’n GO and U.S.-based BetMGM has proven to be stunningly successful in Michigan, New Jersey, and West Virginia, the company said in a press release. Having secured its Pennsylvania gaming license in March, Play’n GO is now live with two operators in the Commonwealth.

North America A High Priority Since 2022

Play’n GO is now licensed in six of the seven U.S. states that allow iGaming (also known as Internet gaming or online casinos). Rhode Island is the newest state to legalize iGaming. Bally’s Corp., the only company allowed to operate in the state, launched online casinos in Rhode Island last month. The company also has two land-based casinos in Rhode Island: Bally’s Twin Rivers Lincoln and Bally’s Tiverton.

With expansion into a fourth with BetMGM, it remains to be seen what market Play’n GO will approach next. The North American market has been a high priority for the company since 2022, according to Play’n GO Chief Commercial Officer Magnus Olsson.

“We’re pleased to expand our partnership with BetMGM into a fourth U.S. state, and look forward to continued success together”, said Olsson in a company press release. “We have always been committed to a safe, regulation-led industry to secure a sustainable future for us all. BetMGM share our vision, and so are a perfect partner for us. We will continue our mission of being active in every regulated market around the world, and we’re excited for further growth opportunities well into the future, in the U.S. and beyond”.

With the launch of Play’n GO games in Pennsylvania, BetMGM players now have access to a new universe of games led by one called Reactoonz.

The Grid Slot

Released in October 2017 and known as a Grid Slot, Reactoonz is an adventure with electrifying bundles of alien energy. The game is set up for alien tiles to drop from the sky onto the screen, a different display compared to the standard slot reels.

Designed with a 7×7 grid screen, the game starts with multiple tiles of animated aliens that drop from space and land to reward the player. A match of five or more aliens results in a win. Each win also transfers energy to the power-hungry Gargantoon. That’s the large alien character to the left who falls asleep and starts snoring if gameplay is paused.

Gargantoon is waiting and planning his invasion when he collects enough energy from the player’s wins. Once fully charged, Gargantoon grows and leaps onto the game grid and goes completely wild.

Every slot game has its Wild symbols. For Reactoonz a “flux capacitor” serves as the Wild symbol. But the aliens never stop coming, each one is replaced by new space invaders from above. This gives the player multiple chances to win in the same round.

One goal in the game is to make contact with oversized aliens. These characters can multiply your prize when they become part of a winning cluster.

US Casinos That Host Play’n GO slot games

Reactoonz and other Play’n GO slots are available at BetMGM Casino, PokerStars Casino, and BetRivers Casino, to name a few.

Reactoonz is just one part of a series of slots developed by Play’n GO. Online slot players looking for a sci-fi adventure with an alien twist should keep an eye out for Energoonz, Reactoonz 2, Dr Toonz, and Gigantoonz.
