Play’n GO Continue Hugo Series with Hugo’s AdventureReading Time: 2 minutes

 

Play’n Go announced their latest entry into the slot market today with the release of Hugo’s Adventure.

The game is a continuation of their Hugo Series of games based on the popular Danish television character, Hugo the Troll and is the fourth release following their earlier titles Hugo, Hugo 2 and last year’s Hugo Goal.

The Hugo franchise has a huge following around the world and, in more recent times, its main strength has been in the mobile gaming arena, and so it makes sense that a slot specialist with such a strong mobile gaming presence in the casino industry, like Play’n GO, would bring their own distinctive brand of entertainment into Hugo’s world.

The partnership has so far been a resounding success, with each of the Hugo titles performing well in the market for several years, with no signs of slowing any time soon.

The game features Hugo and some of the well-known characters from his universe but, also boasts a unique bonus feature. Players are granted a life at the start of the feature and must dodge obstacles to avoid losing that life, while also having the opportunity to pick up extra lives along the way. Another creative idea from Play’n GO that bridges the gap between casino gaming and other forms of gaming entertainment, such as they did with their pioneering grid slot format in games such as 2018’s highly successful Sweet Alchemy.

With its innovative features and well-crafted design and animation, this latest Hugo adventure promises to be the most exciting and inventive Hugo title of the Play’n GO range to date.

Johan Törnqvist, CEO of Play’n GO spoke about the excitement of bringing something new not only to the Hugo franchise but also the Play’n GO catalogue of content:

“Hugo is a beloved character, and whenever we create a Hugo game, we make sure we do it justice, by making the best game possible, and bringing something different from its predecessors.

This newest edition is our greatest one yet, and its innovative features are going to excite both fans of the previous games and new players to the Hugo series.”

Mogens Agger, VP of 5th Planet Games, who hold the licensing for Hugo also spoke on the latest Hugo release:

“We’re delighted with this latest Hugo release, and we think fans will be too.

We had the aim of bringing Hugo to a wider audience through the casino market, and this has been realised through a remarkable partnership with Play’n GO.”

Hugo’s Adventure is available to play today!

Darts player Prakash Jiwa has been banned from all Darts Regulation Authority (DRA) events for eight years after being found guilty of match-fixing and betting on darts.

The UK Gambling Commission’s Sports Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU) supported the investigation by facilitating information gathered in the course of its enquiries.

Following a hearing before the DRA Disciplinary Committee on 21 January 2025, Jiwa was found guilty of fixing four matches and betting on darts. He was found not guilty of obstructing the enquiry.

The Committee has suspended him from playing in or being involved in any DRA-regulated events until 6 November 2031, provided he pays costs of £17,741.46 in full.

There is no suggestion that the other players in these matches were involved.

John Pierce, Commission Director of Enforcement, said: “All betting customers in Britain should have confidence that bets placed with licensed gambling businesses are on markets that are fair and free from betting-related corruption.

“Our Sports Betting Intelligence Unit works closely with partners such as the Darts Regulation Authority to support sporting integrity investigations and combat match-fixing. This decision sends a clear message that betting-related corruption in sport will not be tolerated.”
