Company overview

Play'n GO is a Swedish gaming software developer founded in 2005. The company was among the first to focus on mobile-oriented slot development, long before that became common industry practice.

Key takeawaysPlay'n GO is a provider with a 200+ game portfolio, best known for its 'Book of' slot format (Book of Dead, Legacy of Dead) featuring a signature book symbol acting as both wild and scatter.

History and portfolio

Founded in 2005, Play'n GO built its reputation on mobile-oriented development and recognisable game series. The company's flagship release was Book of Dead (2016) - a format that set the standard for an entire subgenre of Egyptian-themed slots with an expanding symbol in free spins. The company later developed the formula further with Legacy of Dead (2020), featuring a more elaborate mechanic with multiple expanding symbols.

Licenses and regulators

Play'n GO is licensed in several key jurisdictions, including the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission, allowing the company's games to be distributed through operators in regulated European markets.

What this means for youPlay'n GO games are usually shipped with a single RTP value per jurisdiction, but it's still worth confirming the exact percentage in the paytable at the specific casino operator.

Frequently asked questions

What is Play'n GO best known for?

Primarily the 'Book of' slot format - games where one symbol acts as both wild and scatter, and the bonus round is built around an expanding symbol covering an entire reel.

Are Book of Dead and Legacy of Dead the same game?

No, these are separate releases sharing a similar base formula but with different bonus round mechanics: in Legacy of Dead, retriggers add new expanding symbols, which doesn't happen in Book of Dead.

What does Play'n GO focus on besides slots?

The company also develops live casino products and responsible-gambling tools licensed by casino operators.
