Chartwell titles upgraded in HTML5 on SG Digital

Specialist slot developer Lightning Box has seen a number of its classic games upgraded in HTML5 in order to bring them to the next generation of players.

Popular titles including Chilli Gold, Frogs ‘n Flies, and Serengeti Diamonds were originally designed in Flash when founders Peter Causley and David Little first began designing content for Chartwell Technology in 2010.

But they have now been revamped in the most up-to-date format and will be distributed to European operators by SG Digital. Following a recent extension to that deal, they also have a route to online operators in New Jersey and Canada.

Peter Causley, Lightning Box managing director and co-founder, said: “Our Classic games have built up quite a reputation among players over the last decade or so and have quite rightly taken their place in the slots hall of fame.

“Players demand has seen them upgraded for the latest technologies on the most up-to-date devices and we are now able to put them in front of a new generation who are appreciating them afresh.”

Also chosen to be included in Lightning Box’s Classics range will be Diamond Tower, Angel’s Touch, Moon Temple, and Lost Temple.
