Forget spinning the reels on your own. bet365 has teamed up with G Games to launch 99 Royale in the UK and Republic of Ireland, bringing a battle royale twist to online slots. Think spinning, attacking rivals and climbing the leaderboard, all while trying to outlast the competition.
The launch features three games: Ragnarok, Ra the King and Cherry Blossom. All three are available through the Slots section of the bet365 app or website, so players can jump straight into the action.
99 Players, One Battle: How Does It Work?
Here’s where things get interesting.
Up to 99 players can enter a real-time battle, but this isn't just about landing winning spins and watching the reels roll. Wins charge an attack meter, which players can use to target opponents and knock them out of the competition.
Feeling ambitious? Take aim at the leaderboard leader. Got a score to settle? Target someone who attacked you earlier. Players can also pick someone near the bottom or leave the target selection to chance.
Successful attacks help players climb the rankings, with the last few standing sharing the battle prize pool. However, there's only one top spot, and the player in first place takes the battle winner title. Some battles also feature side missions, giving players extra objectives to complete for additional rewards.
bet365 Bets on a New Kind of Slots Experience
The launch brings a different spin to the familiar slots format, adding head-to-head competition and a social element to the experience.
Helen Walton, Chief Commercial Officer at G Games, praised bet365's focus on innovation, while Clement Le Scanff, Head of Gaming at bet365, described 99 Royale as a “genuine step-change”, highlighting its real-time multiplayer format.
With three games available at launch, 99 Royale gives players a new way to approach slots, where the action extends beyond the reels to the leaderboard. Whether this competitive format catches on remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: there's more to keep an eye on than the next spin.
