Playtech

London, 03 December 2020 – Playtech, the world’s leading gambling technology company, has launched a new slot based on one of the world’s most iconic puzzle games, Rubik’s® Cube as a limited exclusive with Buzz Bingo.

Bringing a new twist to the retro favourite, Rubik’s® Cube features striking 3D graphics and a compelling Sticky Wilds mechanic – plus, a built-in modifier that unlocks a choice of six different Free Games modes, including the chance for the players to choose volatility.

Building on the puzzle theme of the game, Buzz Bingo is supporting its exclusivity period with a specially designed, mini-game, evoking the retro feel of the Rubik’s® brand and bringing it to life for a new generation of players.

James Frendo, Director of Casino at Playtech, comments: “Some brands and themes are truly timeless, and few more so than the iconic Rubik’s® Cube. This legendary puzzle has fascinated players worldwide for over 40 years, so it’s very exciting to be bringing the spirit of the cube to a brand new slot game. Thanks to our game modifiers technology, operators can unlock six different free game modes, making this a truly innovative twist on a classic.”

David Evans, Digital Operations Director at Buzz Bingo, adds: “Millions worldwide have grown up with Rubik’s® Cube, so for our exclusive launch of the new slot, we really wanted to capture the spirit of what must be the most famous puzzle on the planet. Our specially designed mini-game gives a flavour of both the classic brand and the new slot, and we’re confident players will love both ways to play.”

Christoph Bettin, Global CEO at Rubik’s®, adds: “We’ve worked very closely with Playtech to bring the legendary Rubik’s® Cube to life in this new slot game, and are delighted with the results. Innovation is what has drawn puzzle fans to our brand for over 40 years, so it’s fantastic to see that spirit come through in the Rubik’s® Cube slot.”
