Zitro has been shortlisted twice for the prestigious Global Gaming Awards London 2021, to be held on June 28th, coinciding with Clarions ICE Connect event.

Players’ favourite 88 Link Wild Duels on the super-slim Allure cabinet, one of Zitro’s most successful progressive multigame, has received the desired nomination in the category of “Best Casino Product”, while Zitro as a corporation, being the fastest growing company of the gaming industry, has been nominated as “Best Casino Supplier”.

Johnny Ortiz, Founder of Zitro, commented that: “We are thrilled to receive these two nominations that recognizes not only the outstanding quality of our products, but also that of our people, and I would like to thank the Global Gaming Awards for this. Hard work always pays off and while we still harvest the success of our incredible progressive multigames such as 88 Link or Bashiba Link, to name just two of them, we already have a whole new arsenal of revolutionary video slots and bingo products ready, that will hit the market very soon. Especially in these challenging times, we firmly believe that delivering impeccable high-performing products is the best way of supporting the operators, and the gaming industry as a whole, to help accelerate the economic recovery, and we definitely have many of them in our ever-expanding product library.”

Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, was last night crowned Game Studio of the Year at the CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards in Valletta, Malta.

The Game Studio of the Year award is testament to Play’n GO’s blockbuster past 12 months which saw the studio release more than 50 premium titles as well as entering the North American regulated iGaming market for the first time and growing market share across all regulated territories.

Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer of Play’n GO, said: “The Game Studio of the Year Award is testament to our strong performance around the world in the last 12 months, and gives us the impetus to carry that work into the remainder of 2023 and beyond.
