Quickspin brings Russian folklore to life with Ivan and the Immortal King
Stockholm, 11 December 2018 – Swedish slots specialist Quickspin, a Playtech Group company, takes players back into the enchanted past of ancient Russian folklore with their penultimate slot for 2018, Ivan and the Immortal King.
Designed by a team inspired by some of the most magical characters of Russian folktales, this highly volatile immersive is a 4×5 reel 40 playlines video slot offering a theoretical RTP of 96,29%.
The game is centred around the everlasting hero Ivan, in his legendary quest to slay the evil King Koschei. With a treasure trove of free spins, multipliers and bonus scatter symbols to be unlocked, the hero’s final showdown awaits when the players reach the evil King’s soul.
Quickspin CEO, Daniel Lindberg, said: “Our development team delved into the passages of ancient Russian folktales to bring this story to life. We enjoyed every minute creating this game and are sure players will treasure this fantastic slot for years to come.
“2018 has been a fantastic year for us, we promised to release 12 games and Ivan and the Immortal King will be the 12th release of 2018. We look forward to bringing our players many more games over the year ahead.”
The release of Ivan and the Immortal King follows the release of several successful Quickspin titles already this year including Eastern Emeralds, BigBot Crew and Ark of Mystery.
Founded in 2011, Quickspin rapidly established itself as a leading development studio for real money and social casino gaming and was acquired by Playtech in March 2016. Now licensed in multiple jurisdictions, its award-winning content has seen the company sign agreements with a long list of leading operators.
