The pioneer business-to-business online slots provider that recognized the potential of “gaming on the GO” almost two decades ago, Play’n GO, has announced that it has broken its record for the number of rounds played in a day. 

The Swedish-based developer of some of the most iconic, frequently-played online casino games in history, including the Book of Dead series, Reactoonz, or Moon Princess, has reached almost 250 million rounds played on November 1, 2023. 

The figure marks an all-time high for the studio since it first opened its virtual gates to the public in 2005. The number underlies the “enduring strength of the company” as well as their ongoing expansion across global regulated gaming markets. 

At the moment, the company’s 300 premium games are delivered to casino operators in over 25 global jurisdictions.

Breaking Records, a “Testament” to Play’n GO’s Hard Work 

The company’s chief commercial officer, Magnus Olsson, commented on the new record, 

describing it as “a testament to the hard work of everyone at Play’n GO” as well as worldwide players’ appetite for their games.

Olsson also explained the impressive record reached by the company through their excellent selection of titles that keep being “extremely sticky with the millions of unique players” who enjoy playing them on a daily basis. 

The CCO took the opportunity to mention the upcoming release of blockbuster titles like Gargantoonz, which is their latest addition to the popular Reactoonz series launched almost a decade ago, and which is also expected to help them finish the year with even more impressive records.

Olsson also expressed his feelings of pride regarding the work of the entire team, calling it “brilliant” to be rewarded with a new all-time high. 

More Than One Million Daily Players

Play’n GO’s titles are played by over one million players on a daily basis. The freshly announced record follows a number of impressive achievements that were attained by the company in recent months. 

The list includes the highly-anticipated release with important Tier 1 customers like BetMGM via the New Jersey launch, Sisal, Sky, Betway, or BeyondPlay, or foraying into a land-based environment for the first time in history with the launch of the iconic Book of Dead game with William Hill in the UK. 

Play’n GO has also been busy scooping up new licenses in US states that have embraced iGaming, including the AGCO license for Ontario while preparing the launch of Network Leaderboard promotions at a worldwide level across a number of countries and gaming operators.

An ambitious plan presented to the Louisiana Gaming Control Board (LGCB) by The Cordish Companies on Monday seeks to redevelop the Diamond Jacks Casino & Hotel in Bossier City and build a Live! casino resort.

‘World-Class Resort Destination’

Central to the $250+ million redevelopment plan is the construction of an entirely new land-based casino and the removal of the existing casino riverboat. Subject to approval by the LGCB, The Cordish Companies plans to open its new destination, Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana, in 2025.

Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana will be a world-class resort destination that brings a first-class gaming, dining, entertainment and hospitality experience to the region, creates significant new jobs, and generates millions of dollars in economic benefits for the community.

The new Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana will feature a brand new land-based casino with 47,000 square feet of gaming space offering visitors more than 1,000 slots and electronic table games and over 30 live table games. A resort-style hotel with more than 400 rooms will provide hospitality for the resort guests.

The complex will also have a 25,000-square-foot event center providing space for entertainment events, meetings, conventions, non-profits, and social gatherings. An additional 30,000 square feet will be dedicated to dining and entertainment venues, with six new food and beverage outlets among which Sports & Social and PBR Cowboy Bar.

Life Changer for the Region

Excited to welcome The Cordish Companies to Bossier City and looking forward to working with them, Bossier City Mayor Thomas Chandler expressed the high expectations the city has about the newly-proposed casino project.

“Live! Casino and Hotel Louisiana will attract millions of visitors to our city, create substantial new jobs, and generate additional significant tax revenue for our community,” he said, concluding that the project would be “a life changer” for the region.

Ronnie Johns, chairman of the LGCB, was equally excited and looking forward to working with The Cordish Companies, highlighting their “exemplary” reputation as owners and operators of casinos, restaurants, hotels and entertainment destinations nationwide.

Grateful to Foundation Gaming “for their vision in beginning this much-needed process of rebuilding a closed casino property” and The Cordish Companies “for choosing Louisiana to bring their expertise and major investment,” Johns concluded by stating that the Board will be working with both “to make this project a reality” and “deliver a gaming and entertainment destination that Louisiana can be proud of.”

On behalf of Foundation Gaming & Entertainment, co-chief executive officer Greg Guida outlined expectations that demolition of the Diamond Jacks property that started in February would soon finish and clear the way for the new casino resort to appear.

For The Cordish Companies, the development of Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana will affirm the group’s ambition to continue to expand across markets in the South Central and Southeast regions in the US, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
