EGR Operator Awards:
In other exciting news, the leading content provider to the flourishing iGaming industry recently celebrated its smashing success at the 2021 EGR Operator Awards, dubbed “The Oscars of the eGaming,” held at Grosvenor House in London on November 25.
Pragmatic Play landed the prestigious Game of the Year award for its Greek mythology-themed title Gates of Olympus, which was released on February 24, 2021. The 6×5 video slot with 20 paylines sees symbols come tumbling down, paying in clusters of a minimum of eight in a unique “Pay Anywhere” system while also offering major multipliers on any spin, making for a highly volatile gaming experience.
The industry recognition is a continuation of the company’s successful year that in addition to awards includes significant commercial growth and expansion of its iGaming products.
Commenting on the latest achievement, Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer for Pragmatic Play, said they are “delighted and honoured to have won Game of the Year at the EGR Operator Awards amongst a highly contested shortlist. We’re thrilled that Gates of Olympus has been enjoyed so much by the players.”
Barzely explained that the award is a “testament to the hard work of the entire Pragmatic Play family, and we’re thankful to all those who put on such a fantastic event in London.”
