Relax Gaming Games
As well as supporting other studios, Relax Gaming has sought to establish its own identity across several types of gambling games. Its catalogue has included slots and bingo, and the company also provided the poker client used by Unibet.
Slot Games
Relax Gaming had developed around 30 of its own video slots, with a busy release schedule during the year covered. It launched numerous titles over the preceding 12 months, several of which proved popular at partner casinos. The review singled out It’s Time and Let’s Get Ready to Rumble, saying both ranked among casinos’ top 300 slots at the time.
The review gives It’s Time as one example of a Relax Gaming release in its casino games range. This MMA-themed slot has 6 reels and 40 pay lines, and features the voice of Bruce Buffer, the ring announcer widely known for his work in MMA.
Along with sticky spins, rumble spins and wild stacks, the review points to the particularly engaging ‘Hot Spot’, ‘Buffer’ and ‘Fighter’ bonus rounds.
The review also covered ‘Money Train’. , a high-variance slot released in August of that year. This 5-reel game has 40 pay lines and was reported to be popular with players. The review put its top prize at $1,000,000 and noted its range of bonus features.
Other releases mentioned include ‘Powerspin’, ‘Ignite the Night’ and ‘Caveman Bob’. The review also described ‘Tower Tumble’ as an upcoming title that could be worth a look.
At the time covered, Relax Gaming had yet to release a progressive jackpot slot. The reviewer was keen to see one and suggested the studio’s capabilities could make such a series possible.
Other Games
The review points to Relax Gaming’s interest in different types of online gambling games, noting that its early releases included table games and video poker. It also says live dealer games were not part of the portfolio covered.
