Leading igaming supplier Play’n GO is targeting the upcoming football World Cup with its latest online slot release, Hugo Goal.

The game is a three-reel slot based around popular 90s 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 character and put him in a new environment. Game producer Tamas Ujszaszi explained what makes it so enjoyable and challenging to create a Hugo game: “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 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 said: “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.
