After a string of big news stories announcing agreements such as the decision to allow bitcoin support for the BTC Poker Network, Betsoft has just made another announcement around their SugarPop slot machine game. This popular video slot went live in November last year at plenty of sites such as the Miami Club Casino online, and has proven to be very popular indeed with a lot of players. This is one of the first games which has been created for the online slot machine market which incorporates the kind of concepts and hooks that you would find in casual and social gaming markets, as it was inspired by the Candy Crush Facebook game which has seen some award-winning popularity statistics.
The game as it stands features level progression, game scores, and bonus features, similar to the way that social games adding extra features in order to make them more interesting as you go. The game was in fact designed to be updated with a continuous stream of new content as well, and now Betsoft have followed through on that promise by releasing the first expansion pack, which adds a new area to the sweet themed slot. This is the Peanut Butter Plains, which is sure to be a real hit with players as it features ten new levels for them to explore as well as new collectable items which they can grab during the game. This really is a unique concept within the gambling industry at the moment, and many operators and developers will no doubt be keeping a close eye on it in order to see how it continues to hold levels of success while they think about developing their own variations on a similar theme in order to cash in on what could be the next best thing since 3-D slots.
“This record-setting game has thousands of players hungrily devouring the irresistible sweet treats of each level,” Locke commented “It is very clear that players want more of what SugarPop! offers them – progressive levels, achievements, the excitement of exploring a delicious new game world – and to that end, BetSoft will be revealing more level expansion packs in the near future.” Those who are big fans of the game will no doubt be eagerly awaiting the news of those new releases as and when they arrive, though we have no word yet of what kind of schedule which expect them on and how regularly they will be arriving. With a gap of just three months between the original game release and the first update, we can perhaps expect this kind of theme to run through the update schedule, though Betsoft will no doubt speed up or slow down their releases depending on how popular each expansion pack proves to be. Plus, as time moves on the up and began to have to take a little bit of extra time in order to try and think of more sweet-based puns to keep them going!
