Leading global software vendor Play’n GO announced the exclusive launch of its NHL-inspired slot game Detroit Red Wings Winged Reelers in Michigan via a partnership with PokerStars Casino. The Detroit Red Wings are the inspiration for the game's design, and this slot offers payouts of up to 2,000x a player's stake.
According to the official press release published on Play’n GO’s website, the company was happy to team up with PokerStars and design a game for the Detroit Red Wings. Company executives expect Michigan players to be happy with a slot featuring their home-state hockey team.
Although PokerStars built its reputation as a one-stop shop for online poker in the Great Lakes State, this Michigan online casino is working on expanding its iGaming offer. PokerStars executives have also voiced their satisfaction with the project via the joint press release, emphasizing that this Play'n GO collaboration to create a custom slot game is a testament to their dedication to provide players with a unique gaming experience.
The two companies have a long-standing partnership, marked by multiple successful projects in Europe and the United States. Winged Reelers is another chapter in the story, exclusively available at PokerStars for Michigan players.
Branded Slot Game
Winged Reelers is a branded hockey-themed slot machine. The game is built around a 5x3 reel grid with 25 paylines, with a max payout of 2,000x a player's bet. Several gameplay features include Mega Free Spins, Gold Re-Spins, and top-paying Wild symbols. The regular symbols are coins, ice skates, a hockey stick, two images of hockey players, four card Royals, a puck as the Wild, and trophies acting as Scatters.
The animation is colorful, and the design uses the Detroit Red Wings NHL hockey stadium as its background image. There are no unique bonus features or a huge jackpot. It's a conventional slot with standard features, making it a good option for hockey enthusiasts or Detroit Red Wings fans.
New Trend of NHL-Inspired Games
The National Hockey League has been working on increasing its engagement with the iGaming sphere of the gambling industry, parallel with its sports betting partnerships. In December, the league extended its partnership with BetMGM. In the same month, BetMGM launched the NHL Gold Blitz, the first NHL-endorsed slot. The 6x4 grid slot comes with 4,096 ways to win and offers high-quality visual effects, including logos of all 32 NHL teams.
Developed in collaboration with the iGaming Division of Digital Gaming Corporation, this game debuted in New Jersey, with a wider release set for Michigan and other states in 2024. Players will likely be able to use a Michigan online casino bonus to play Winged Reelers at PokerStars and NFL Gold Blitz at BetMGM. The new trend of slots inspired by NHL franchises will probably grow in the upcoming years.
