Play’n GO’ electrifies iGaming with Lab of Madness It’s a Wild!

Published

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

Play’n GO throws the switch on Lab of Madness It’s a Wild!, a gothic comic-inspired slot that surges with strange science and surprise. Players join the unconventional Dr Frankenstein as she attempts to jolt her patchwork Monster to life in a lab where every pull of the lever sparks new possibilities.

Inside her shadowy castle laboratory, the eccentric doctor – equal parts brilliant and bizarre – is moments away from success. Lightning dances across Tesla coils, strange bulbs flicker with colour, and each spin builds towards a shocking breakthrough.

At the centre of the chaos is the Monster Wild. It’s not just a symbol – it’s a scene-stealer, shifting positions, stretching across reels, and multiplying wins with raw energy. These Wilds can even combine their powers, filling the screen with movement and mayhem. Add to that a Power Up feature that delivers sudden prizes, and a Free Spins mode where stacked effects can keep the game alive with electricity – and the result is a slot packed with spark.

The visual style draws inspiration from retro horror comics, fusing dramatic shadows and hand-drawn details with neon bursts. The monochrome lab, oversized coils, and lively symbols create a world that’s both eerie and entertaining.

Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “Lab of Madness It’s a Wild! gave us a chance to mix sharp design with surprising features. It’s got humour, heart, and just enough madness to keep players coming back for more.”

Between quirky characters, energetic gameplay, and a fresh twist on a classic tale, this is one experiment you’ll want to see through to the end.

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, is pleased to announce a new partnership with StarLadder, a veteran tournament organizer.

The companies will partner for the new season of StarLadder StarSeries Season 19 — the legendary tournament series returns to the professional Counter-Strike scene after a six-year break.

As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder StarSeries Season 19, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event for a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.

“We’re proud to provide real-time viewership analytics for StarLadder StarSeries Season 19,” said Artyom Odintsov, co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts. “We welcome the return of StarLadder to the Tier‑1 Counter-Strike stage, adding healthy competition among tournament organizers. This season marks an exciting new chapter for a historic series, and our data will help capture audience engagement throughout the event, giving organizers, teams, and sponsors valuable insights into global viewership trends.”

StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 25 years, since hosting its first tournaments in 2001. The company has organized some of the industry’s most iconic events, including the StarLadder Berlin Major and The DOTA 2 Chongqing Major in 2019. Later this year, StarLadder will also host the Budapest Major 2025 — where it was earlier announced that Esports Charts will serve as the official viewership analytics partner.

The StarSeries tournament series, a key part of StarLadder’s brand, has helped launch the careers of numerous Counter-Strike stars. The last StarSeries event, StarSeries & i-League CS:GO Season 8, took place in October 2019 in Turkey. After a six-year hiatus, the series is finally set to make its return this fall with a brand-new season in Europe.

“StarLadder’s decision to partner with Esports Charts once again reflects our confidence in their leadership in esports viewership analytics. Their methodology sets the benchmark for accuracy and transparency — from tracking impressions with a true 30-second viewing window to providing insights that go far beyond raw numbers. Together, we are committed to giving brands and fans a deeper statistics of competitive Counter-Strike, powered by metrics that truly matter,” shared Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Head of Sales & Partnerships at StarLadder.

The StarLadder StarSeries Season 19 will run from September 18 to 21 in Budapest, Hungary, featuring a $500,000 prize pool. Eight teams will battle for the title: Natus Vincere, B8 Esports, Passion UA, 9INE, PARIVISION, OG, and Gentle Mates.
