Play’n GO plot a prize-hunting heist in Highway Legends
Play’n GO create a steal of a slot with their new historical title, Highway Legends.
The story follows Swift Rick and Lady Pearl – two highway robbers roaming the land in search of riches that they can steal from unsuspecting coaches.It doesn’t matter if it’s rings, revolvers or broaches, Swift Rick and Lady Pearl will take ‘em all.
Players can land three gold-encrusted symbols to secure a standard victory.The slot’s in-game Wild fashions itself as a Rider on Horseback (Stacked Wild), a Bandit (Sticky Wilds) or a Gold Plaque (Standard Wild), mixing the period-set iconography with the dynamic power Symbols.
Equally, the Scatter is represented as dual Golden Pistols on the reels, meaning once they’re fired – players can cause a ruckus and snag loot-worthy bonuses!
Money Bag Symbols can land on reels 1 – 4 with varying cash values.If the player lands this symbol on reel five – alongside any of the previous reels – player will win the accumulated value, filling their bag of loot further.
Landing three Golden Pistol Scatters will cause the rider to gallop onto the Free Spins.If only two Scatters land, the fifth reel will Re-Spin and aid in securing the trusty third Scatter, just like Swift Rick and Lady Pearl’s numerous backup plans.
Lady Pearl takes centre stage for the Sticky Wild feature.On any spin, Wild Symbols can land as part of the spin cycle.
They’ll remain on the reels for the duration of the feature, with further Wilds accumulated as they roam across the reels.
The Stacked Wild feature involves Swift Rick stacking up to four Wild’s on any of the five reels, coupled alongside a dynamic animatic, showing players where the Wilds will appear.This feature acts as a one-of-one translation of the narrative, with our two leading protagonists stacking as much loot as they can carry.
Fans of Play’n GO’s Wild West shootout Wild Trigger (2022) as well as the glitzy Royal Masquerade (2015) and the train-set Wild Rails (2019) will find lots to love about Highway Legends’ period theme.
Head of Game Retention at Play’n GO, George Olekszy said: “Who doesn’t love a historical slot?”
“Highway Legends has some really innovative features.
From the Stacked Wilds that create lots of potential, down to the individual character abilities – this slot captures the magic of period-themed adventures.”

19% Crypto Bets Growth: SOFTSWISS Reveals Digital Coin Results for Q1 2023
In January 2023, SOFTSWISS, the leading technology provider for iGaming, was recognised as ‘
Crypto Company of the Year’ by the prestigious International Gaming Awards.As a pioneer in crypto gaming, every quarter, the company analyses the crypto gaming market and shares valuable industry insights.This time, among key indicators, the expert team unveils what the average crypto player portrait looks like.
The Q1 crypto results are based on the data from over 700 brands powered by the SOFTSWISS
Game Aggregator and the SOFTSWISS Casino Platform.
Q1 2023: The Big Picture
In Q1 2023 the Total Bets indicator increased by 44.66% compared to the same quarter the previous year and by 2.24% compared to the preceding quarter.This data demonstrates a steady growth trend in the iGaming market.
In absolute terms, the sum of wagers in crypto also shows positive growth over the course of the last year.
In the first quarter of 2023, the share of bets in digital coins accounted for 30%.Q4 of 2022 showed 9% volume growth in Total Bets in crypto compared to the first quarter of the same year.
Q1 of 2023, on the other hand, showed a more significant volume growth – 19%.
Andrey Starovoitov, Co-CEO at SOFTSWISS comments: “Despite the global events of 2022, which have undoubtedly caused most digital coins to fall in value, we are now seeing them rise in value again.For that reason, we are observing both growth in the iGaming market in general and also an increase in the sum of bets made by crypto players.We expect digital coins to remain in stable use by players in 2023 and could see more significant growth with a combination of two factors: competent retention of players and the absence of strong volatility in the crypto market.”
Most Used Digital Coins
Compared to Q4 2022, the top 3 most used digital coins remain the same: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC).However, their shares have changed – Bitcoin is up by 1.9 p.p.at the expense of smaller digital currencies, while Ethereum remained the same.
Looking at the development of digital coins over a longer period, the changes in the shares of digital coins are more substantial.From Q1 2022, BTC increased by 3.72 p.p., whereas ETH lost 5.01 p.p.
The fall in the share of the third leading digital coin, LTC, occurred by 1.36 p.p.
The final shares for Q1 2023 are as follows:
– BTC – 76.5%
– ETH – 8.4%
– LTC – 5.1%
Tether (USDT) took a share of 5.1% for the first time, in turn, Dogecoin (DOGE) rates fell by 1 p.p.compared to the previous quarter, taking a 2.5% share at the end of Q1 2023.
Among other currencies that showed an increase in the share of Total Bets – Ripple (XRP), Tron (TRX) and Cardano (ADA).
The Crypto Player Portrait
Diving deeper into the industry insights, SOFTSWISS has defined the average crypto player portrait.Based on the Q1 data and available data from player profiles, 65% of the crypto audience is male and 35% female.
The percentage of age groups of the crypto players who have indicated their age on their online casino profile is as follows:
Thus, the core audience of digital coins in iGaming is in the 31-50 age range.It makes up 70% of the audience that uses crypto.
Moreover, more than half of crypto GGR per Q1 was formed by bets made on mobile devices: 64% of mobile users vs.
32% of desktop ones.
This data may become crucial when choosing a strategy for growing an existing iGaming brand or launching a new one.As SOFTSWISS experts note, interest in starting crypto projects is high, even when crypto demonstrates quick changes and might be unpredictable.Nevertheless, Q1 statistics indicate that 2023 is shaping up to be a year of positive development for projects related to digital coins.
Max Trafimovich, Chief Commercial Officer at SOFTSWISS, summarises: “Over the last few years we have seen a steady increase in demand for crypto-ready solutions, be it for launching a casino or a sports betting venture.It’s undeniable that some crypto iGaming operators have drawn much attention and accolades on a global level.
Besides crypto, such operators also happen to be at the forefront of various other innovations, those going beyond the payments aspect.SOFTSWISS will remain the ultimate partner on this frontier with new crypto-oriented technologies, top-level service, and security.”
