Playson expands European footprint via content integration deal with Fortuna Entertainment Group; launches reimagined version of Solar Queen online slot

After recently releasing an enhanced version of Solar Queen, online casino games developer Playson has inked a content integration agreement with Fortuna Entertainment Group (FEG), the leading omni-channel sports betting and gaming operator in Central and Eastern Europe. 

Lauded as a “major deal” by Playson, several of the provider’s player-favorite titles from its classic slots portfolio, including recent releases Royal Coins: Hold and Win, 5 Fortunator, and the Ancient Egyptian-themed 9 Happy Pharaohs will be integrated to the group’s online offering.

Improved offering:

Commenting on the collaboration via the Fortuna Entertainment Group Press Office, the operator said they are “delighted” with the deal struck with “a leading developer such as Playson, which has a strong reputation for creating exciting content that resonates with players in our core markets.”

Having the developer’s “content on board will improve the online games offering across our brands and ensure players will have access to some of the industry’s most exciting slots.”

Established in the Czech Republic more than three decades ago, the entertainment group has grown into an international operator, with its footprint now extending to the Slovakian, Polish, Romanian, and Croatian markets. The company employs over 6,000 people and is the largest Central and Eastern European betting and gaming operator.

New audiences:

Also commenting on the new content integration deal through its own news release, Blanka Homor, Sales Director at Playson said they are “excited at the prospect of partnering with a brand that has three decades of experience across Central and Eastern European markets.”

Homor says they look forward to working with Fortuna Entertainment Group’s leading online brands and “pleasing a new range of audiences” with their “successful portfolio of enthralling titles.”

New slot:

Playson’s latest partnership follows the release of, Solar Queen Megaways, a souped-up version of one of its most successful games ever, which offers up to 7,776 ways to win.

While the 5-reel slot that transports players back in time to ancient Egypt is visually similar to its predecessor, it gets an exciting level-up from the popular game mechanic and everchanging 2-6 rows.

Players will still find the amazing Flaming Flames feature with 10 spins cycle from the original, which sees the scorching hot Sun symbol create a fiery frame that on the last spin changes cells into Wild symbols. Reappearances of the Sun symbol within the Flaming Frame adds a progressive multiplier, which could boost line winnings by up to x10. 

Aligning with the original game’s classic theme, Scarabs serves as the Scatter symbol, with three of them triggering 10 extra spins and see Sticky Wild symbols remain on the reels until the mode is exhausted. Also, depending on the jurisdiction, players are able to purchase their way into the extra spins mode for 100 bets. 

Megaways mechanic:

Commenting on the new launch, Vsevolod Lapin, Head of Product at Playson, said…

“We’re delighted to offer players a reimagined version of the popular Solar Queen title, now with the impressive Megaways™ mechanic. 

Lapin adds that the latest release is another example of the developer’s “ambition and desire to create industry-leading products,” as well as its “ability to reimagine and improve” its own slots portfolio.
