New online slot launched in time for the FIFA World Cup

Online gambling games developer Play’n GO is spreading football fever ahead of this year’s World Cup with its latest online slot release, a three reel slot titled Hugo Goal.

The game is based around popular 90’s TV troll Hugo and this newest edition sees him entering the world of football. The idea behind Hugo Goal was to bring a much-loved Nordic character and put him in a new environment, in this case the world’s most favoured sport.

Game producer Tamas Ujszaszi explained what makes it so enjoyable, and challenging, to create a Hugo game.

He said: “Hugo has such a diverse world of recognisable characters and he fits into so many different scenarios, it wasn’t easy to decide who we wanted to star in the game alongside him. In the end we settled for Aksfylia and Don Croco, his main adversaries; we also introduced Goat, who is one of the older characters from Hugo’s world, to give a classic feel.”

This is the third collaboration between Play’n GO and Hugo Games A/S, following the successes of Hugo and Hugo 2. Play’n GO CEO and co-founder Johan Törnqvist believes that the timing is just right for Hugo’s latest adventure.

He added: “We wanted to build on our success with Hugo and release Hugo Games to operators at a perfect time, ahead of this year’s World Cup.

“This game will appeal to a large player base. Play’n GO are looking forward to an exciting summer with lots of entertaining football, and the game will offer some alternative fun between matches. We can combine players’ interest in Hugo and the tournament, giving our partners plenty of cross-sell opportunities.”
